How to See the Glory of God (1 of 3)
Series: Believe and See
Jeff Schreve
John 11:1-46
If you have your Bible, please turn to John chapter 1. I want to talk to you today about How to See the Glory of God.
You know companies and organizations; they will spend lots of money and lots of time in conference rooms, trying to come up with a theme, a little tagline, a little slogan for their organization to let people know what they're all about. And sometimes we have to wonder, what were they thinking?

It's based on John chapter 11; verse 40, where Jesus, at the tomb of Lazarus, said to Martha, ''Did I not say to you, if you believe, you will see the glory of God?''
