Let Him Who Glories Glory in This (Part Three)
Feast of Tabernacles Sermon by Mark SchindlerRooted in Jeremiah 9:23-24, this three-part series titled "Let Him Who Glories Glory in This" calls God's elect to find their glory not in wisdom, might, or riches, but in knowing and understanding God as He exercises loving kindness, judgment, and righteousness throughout the earth.

Believers today stand within that same unbroken line, called to represent God's kingdom now and prepare to serve fully in
