What Dallas Willard Taught About Glory

About this sermon

The light we have to shine comes from God. We are like the moon; our radiance comes from another source. In Philippians 2, Paul says that we are given gifts like encouragement in Christ, comfort from His love, fellowship with the Spirit, and tenderness and compassion. These qualities reflect who God is, given to us to know how to live, act, and love. Just as Jesus glowed with light on the Mount of Transfiguration, we too are invited to carry his presence into our daily relationships. 00:00 — How do you shine when life is hard? 00:26 — Does more suffering mean less joy? 01:09 — What does “whatever happens” mean in Philippians? 02:10 — How do you live worthy of the gospel of Christ? 03:02 — What does it mean to stand firm in one Spirit? 03:30 — How to face opposition without fear 04:20 — Why does God “grant” both faith and suffering? 05:07 — “Life is difficult”: what should Christians do? 06:45 — Why complaining and grumbling steal your joy 07:23 — Should I fix problems or just suffer for Jesus? 08:27 — Meaning vs. suffering: which shapes your life? 09:15 — The Quadrant of Suffering and Meaning explained 10:24 — Why great lives hold both suffering and purpose 11:36 — How to pray when suffering won’t stop (“drink the cup”) 12:16 — How God gives meaning to our pain 12:58 — Whatever happens, live worthy of the gospel Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.
