Noah recently shared an exclusive Monday Gospel message he prepared after Pastor Robb’s absence last Sunday, which included a contribution from Louie Giglio.
At the church service where Noah serves, a guest preacher stated that “Everything God does he does for you and with you in mind.”
Louie Giglio responded with a polite but firm correction: “Everything God does is for the Glory of God, and you just happen to also get the benefit along the way.”
The sermon emphasized that this perspective—where all existence serves God’s glory—is a unifying theme throughout Scripture. The speaker argued that many Christians have unconsciously centered their lives on themselves rather than God. Modern culture often prioritizes happiness, success, or fulfillment as life’s purpose, but the message states these are real blessings stemming from God’s greater design.
The sermon identified the greatest deception for Christians not as unbelief, but in creating a God who exists to serve them. It explained that Jesus’ sacrifice at the cross was not about human worth but about divine love that transcends self-interest. An analogy used compared this to an emergency-room doctor saving a life without hesitation—actions viewed as loving, not arrogant.
The speaker addressed the objection: “Isn’t it arrogant for God to make everything about Himself?” by noting that if God is the highest good, pointing people toward Him is the most loving act possible.
Noah described this message as transformative, shifting one’s entire perspective when fully understood.
