“My Life, His Glory

Paul shared an incredible truth with us about how he looked at his life. (Phil.1:21) He reminds us that though God has blessed each one of us with a life of our own, that life rightly exists to glorify God. As we live for “”the sake of His name””, let’s realize that any and all glory belong to Him. We live the way He has asked us to that He might have the glory, rather than us.(Titus 2:11-14) Knowing this, we “”””Share His Grace with All”””” by the way we frame our lives of service.””

* Christ is our example of living for the glory of another (John 17:4-5)
* The Father to the Son; the power of His glory (John 1:14; Heb 1:3)
* “”In Him”” we live to the praise of His glory (Eph.1:3-14)

2.) My Life but His Glory””
* He is glorified in how I love (John 13:34-35)
