King David - Psalm 24
Psalm 24:1-10 (NIV) Of David. A psalm.The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it,
the world, and all who live in it;
[2] for he founded it upon the seas
and established it upon the waters.
[3] Who may ascend the hill of the Lord?
Who may stand in his holy place?
[4] He who has clean hands and a pure heart,
who does not lift up his soul to an idol
or swear by what is false.
[5] He will receive blessing from the Lord
and vindication from God his Savior.
[6] Such is the generation of those who seek him,
who seek your face, O God of Jacob. Selah
[7] Lift up your heads, O you gates;
be lifted up, you ancient doors,
that the King of glory may come in.
[8] Who is this King of glory?
The Lord strong and mighty,
the Lord mighty in battle.
[9] Lift up your heads, O you gates;
lift them up, you ancient doors,
that the King of glory may come in.
[10] Who is he, this King of glory?
The Lord Almighty--
he is the King of glory. Selah

John Piper - To Him Be Glory Forevermore
Piper on his second to last Romans sermon, talking about the glory of God. A must listen, read or watch!
Here is what ackendrick from Soli Deo Gloria blog wrote about this sermon!
Today I was watching a John Piper sermon online and I thought it exactly went along with the overall pupose of our blog. To Him Be Glory Forevermore was the title for the text of Romans 16:25-27. Piper gave this sermon to Bethlehem Baptist Church on December 17, 2006 as he is wrapping up a series through the entire book of Romans. He started this series on Romans back in 1998 starting with chapter 1 and now just wrapping it up in 2006. What a great expositional preacher of today to go striaght through an entire book. Piper claims that Romans was the greatest letter ever written and I might have to agree with him. Piper tries to do the impossible and define the glory of God but he does so by contrasting the glory of God to God’s holiness. Piper’s definition: “The glory of God is the infinite beauty and greatness of his manifold perfections.” An easier way to look at his definition is, “the glory of God is the manifestation of His holiness” or the “going public of His holiness.” This sermon helped me to understand the glory of God on a new level and I pray that you will read it or listen to it for yourself at DG . I also pray that we do what we were created for: Glorifing God.

Dr. Derek Thomas - Soli Deo Gloria
A powerful sermon that focuses on Romans 11:33-36... Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!“For who has known the mind of the Lord,or who has been his counselor?”“Or who has given a gift to himthat he might be repaid?”For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen.—Romans 11:33–36
Originally from Wales, Dr. Derek Thomas is the John E. Richards Professor of Systematic and Practical Theology at Reformed Theological Seminary, Jackson, Mississippi. After pastoring for 17 years in Belfast, Northern Ireland, Dr Thomas returned to the USA in 1996 where, in addition to his work at the seminary, he serves as the Minister of Teaching at First Presbyterian Church in Jackson.
Be encouraged...

Michael Ross - Solia Deo Gloria
The last of the five solas of the reformation. I love this sermon for how he wraps up the series, establishes the absolute glory of God and humbles me into worship... A great sermon, practical and personal.
