This week, we're diving into the powerful promise found in John 17:24, where Jesus prays for His followers to witness His glory. Pastor Colin thoughtfully explores how glimpsing Christ's glory progressively transforms us to be more like Him. Through captivating insights from renowned Puritan writer John Owen, we learn about beholding the Lord and experiencing deeper worship and joy.

In this episode, discover practical applications of this truth: using it to comfort those grieving the loss of loved ones, to elevate personal worship, and to enhance unity among believers. The great assurance we possess as Christians lies in Jesus' unwavering will and the profound love of the Father, securing our place in eternal glory.

Today's message delves into the profound biblical truth that "to live is Christ and to die is gain." Together, we explore the great promise given to the Christian believer: if you live for Christ, passing from this life brings not loss, but a wonderful gain—more of Christ Himself. Join us as Pastor Colin explores this encouraging message, reminding us that living for Christ transforms our perspective on life and death.

If you live for the temporary pleasures of this world, passing away means losing everything you have lived for. But for those who live for Christ, it brings the ultimate gain, as we step into His presence and see His glory more fully. Our understanding is deepened with today's passage from John Chapter 17, in which Jesus prays for all believers to be with Him and to see His glory.

This session also contemplates the Christian life and the joy of spending eternity with Christ, looking at the incredible love and commitment Jesus has for each of His followers. We discover the importance of filling our "For me to live is..." blank with Christ, as the only way to turn death into gain.

In this thoughtful episode, Pastor Colin challenges the common misconception that following Jesus guarantees a life of ease and freedom from trouble. Instead, Colin reminds us of Jesus' words: "In this world, you will have trouble," urging listeners to view life's challenges as part of a larger journey dependent on grace, ultimately leading us to the Father's house.
