The Glory of God, VBS Thanks, The Journey Vol. 3 (Pastoral Emphasis for 7/2)

How do you define God's glory?  Defining it is kinda like defining beauty.  The Hebrew word for "glory" is kabod, which means weight, heaviness.  In other words, there's a weightiness to God's glory.  The glory of God is the weight of all that God is.  John Piper describes the glory of God as the manifest beauty of his holiness.  So if there's a weightiness to God, then there should be a weightiness to the praise and glory that we give Him.  God is deserving of sincere and pure praise (not superficial, half-hearted praise).  To glorify God is to make much of His greatness.  God should be honored and worshipped.  Soli Deo Gloria (Glory to God alone)!



The Christian Education Committee would like to thank the Mt. Zion Church family for making the 2017 VBS special and successful.  We are grateful that you allowed God to use you for His glory and growth of His kingdom.

We start volume 3 of our Discipleship Journey in Bible Study.  Even if you've missed the other volumes, now is a great time to start.  On Wednesday, we'll be looking at finding Christ in Scripture.  When we immerse ourselves in God's Word, we'll better know how to be followers of Christ.

So in order to remove any barriers that might prevent some from visiting us or feeling comfortable in our service, the leadership will dress a little more casual. We will try this out until the end of the year and then evaluate. So don't be surprised when you see me not wearing a tie! I shared the following email that we got via our website to show that we are spreading the Gospel worldwide. To God be the glory! Greetings Mt. Zion Church Family...Today is July 27, 2009 and I would like to share the blessing that I have received from your church. I was talking to my very dear sister, soror, friend Sis Brandi Hancock and she and I were having a heart to heart. I told her that I was
