Gaze Upon the Beauty of the Lord

In this sermon from our summer series "Delighting in a Delightful God," Pastor Josh Hawkins preaches from Psalm 27:4 on what it truly means to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord.

In a culture that constantly commodifies our attention, David’s single desire was to dwell in God's presence and give Him undivided focus. When we stop carving out broken cisterns (Jeremiah 2:13) and sit down at the abundant table God has prepared, our hearts find true satisfaction and transformation.

📖 Key Scripture References:

💡 Key Takeaways:

1. What you gaze upon shapes you: Where your attention goes, your heart follows.

3. Transformed through Contemplation: As we contemplate the Lord's glory with unveiled faces, we are transformed into His image from glory to glory.
