Glory First

Introduction

What’s the first thing you pray for?

Andrew Purves - an accent that can transform a phonebook

Holiness is the otherness of God that is worthy of awe, wonder, and glory

New Perspectives

When God’s holiness captivates us, our hearts become re-ordered

Our world changes from “Me-o-centric” to “theocentric”

When we know God, we reorient our lives to bring him glory

Looking Outward

God’s holiness re-frames our perspective

In John’s vision, we see God honored as holy by every creature

Our desire is to see God’s name honored and glorified in the world. (Regarded as holy)
