Weight of Glory | Part 2: Show me Your Glory | Paul Dennison

What does it mean to pray, “Show me Your glory”?

In Exodus 33, Moses asks one of the boldest prayers in Scripture. But God’s response is surprising. Moses asks to see God’s glory, and God reveals His goodness, His name, His mercy, His compassion, His holiness, and His justice.

In this message, we explore the biblical meaning of glory — the Hebrew word kavod, meaning weight, honour, substance, and significance — and how the glory Moses longed to see is ultimately revealed in Jesus Christ.

Moses was hidden in the cleft of the rock.

We are hidden in Christ.

Through Jesus, we do not come casually, but we come confidently into the presence of God. The glory of God is not merely seen in fire, cloud, or supernatural display, but most clearly in the face of Jesus Christ and at the cross, where holiness and mercy meet.
