DOXOLOGY

Today many of you will sing the Doxology as a part of your worship. The word doxology comes from the Greek word doxa, meaning "radiance," "splendor," "glory," and are expressions of praise to God.

The New Testament is filled with DOXOLOGIES and I encourage you to think through them on this Lord's Day:


Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God!
How unsearchable His judgments and untraceable His ways!

For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been His
counselor?

Or who has ever first given to Him, and has to be repaid?
For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the
glory forever. Amen. (Romans 11:33-36)

Now to Him who has power to strengthen you according to my gospel and the proclamation of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the sacred secret kept silent for long ages, but now revealed and made known through the prophetic Scriptures, according to the command of the eternal God, to advance the obedience of faith among all nations-- the only wise God, through Jesus Christ -- to Him be the glory forever! Amen.
(Romans 16:25-27)

Now unto Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly ABOVE all that we could ask or think, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen (Ephesians 3:20-21)

Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen (1 Timothy 1: 17)

The Lord will rescue me from every evil work and will bring me safely into His heavenly kingdom. To Him be the glory forever and ever! Amen.
(2 Timothy 4:18)

Now to Him who is able to protect you from stumbling and to make you stand in the presence of His glory, blameless and with great joy, 25 to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, power, and authority before all time, now, and forever. Amen.
(Jude 24-25)

Fill your hearts with praise this morning on this glorious Lord's Day!
