Glory at the End of the World

Series: To The Exiles

Glory at the End of the World

April 27, 2025 | Mike Stancak

Passage: 1 Peter 4:7-11

The Church is summoned to be a beacon in the last age of the world.  Our light shines through the beauty of our prayers, our forgiveness, our hospitality, and our service.  These qualities each reveal that at our head is Christ, who reconciles us to God and gives us the example of his life.  The Church preaches and imitates him, and therefore the Church's life is engineered to put God on display.  Ours is a way of life that only makes sense if the Triune God and his glory truly is "the chief end" of all things.
