Mesmerized: A Study of Glory in the Scripture

Mesmerized: A Study of Glory in the Scripture

Lessons

Randy Gariss explores the concept of glory in Scripture, discussing how it is seen, shared, and accompanied by suffering. The study delves into the attributes of God associated with His glory and explores the reasons why not everyone sees His glory. It also examines the role of the church in manifesting God's glory and addresses the connection between suffering and God's glory. The study concludes by discussing the future glory that is yet to be revealed and the hope it offers to believers.

Session 1

“Glory Seen” Part 1

Do we know God? Those in the Scripture who knew God used the word “GLORY.” It is used almost 300 times in the Bible.

Session 2

“Glory Seen” Part 2

In Session 2, we look at Psalm 24 as an example of seeing God's glory. In the Scriptures, there are around 50 attributes of God that are associated with his glory.

Session 3

“Glory Seen” Part 3

So if “the whole earth is full of his glory” (Isaiah 6:3), why doesn’t everyone see it? The third session tells us what what happen when we begin to the glory of God.

Session 4

“Glory Shared” Part 1

God says that he does not give his glory to another (Isaiah 42:8 and 48:11). This session covers what God thinks of a human being is settled when Christ comes into the world.

Session 5

“Glory Shared” Part 2

In session 5, we learn how the church is considered the second place where God puts his glory.

Session 6

“Glory’s Companion” Part 1

Glory’s companion is often suffering. In this session, we find answer to the question "How to bring glory to God in our suffering?"

Session 7

“Glory’s Companion” Part 2

So how in the world can “suffering” and the “glory of God” be compatible? Why would a believer suffer?

Session 8

“Glory Yet”

The final session covers the 20 things that God has said about the things we will experience “in this glory yet to be revealed”. The Bible affirms that this life is not all there is, and that there is more to come than you can imagine.
