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. The series began by examining why God's people keep His holy days, grounding the answer in Leviticus 23:1-4. God's holy convocations are not merely scheduled gatherings but sacred periods during which His people, as a kingdom of priests in training, are expected to remain fully present and grow in righteousness. How believers conduct themselves during these times, including how they raise their children, becomes a living proclamation before the world. Malachi 4 warns that without a truly repentant remnant, God would devote the earth to destruction, and believers are called to be the vanguard of that remnant now. The second sermon explored grace within the kingdom of God, using King David as an example of someone who, despite imperfection, grew to recognize that everything he had came from God alone. Paul's citation of Jeremiah 9:24 in both 1 Corinthians 1 and 2 Corinthians 10 reinforces that God deliberately chooses the weak and foolish to shame the wise, ensuring no flesh glories in His presence. The final sermon traces God's kingdom of righteousness from before creation itself, through the rebellion of Helel, the faithfulness of Noah and Abraham, and forward to the ultimate restoration described in Revelation 21. God's sovereign plan has never wavered. From the angels shouting for joy at creation to Abraham sojourning in faith toward a city whose builder is God, a select few in every age have understood and proclaimed the reality of God's righteous kingdom. Believers today stand within that same unbroken line, called to represent God's kingdom now and prepare to serve fully in
