11. 29 Jesus departed from there, skirted the Sea of Galilee, and
Matthew 15
29 Jesus departed from there,
skirted the Sea of Galilee, and
went up on the mountain and sat down there. 

12. 30 Then great multitudes came to Him,
having with them the lame, blind, mute, maimed, and many others;
and they laid them down at Jesus’ feet,
and He healed them.

13. 31 So the multitude marvelled when they saw the mute speaking,
the maimed made whole, the lame walking, and the blind seeing;
and they glorified the God of Israel.

14. John MacArthur Jr.

15. “Salvation is first and foremost a way of glorifying God.
The fact that it saves men from hell
and gives them eternal life, marvellous
and wonderful as that is,
is secondary to the glory of God.

16. [Jesus] glorified God during His earthly ministry, enabling Him
to say to His heavenly Father,
‘I glorified You on earth,
having accomplished the work
which You have given Me to do.’ ”

24. Amazing grace! Oh, how sweet the sound
That saved a poor sinner like me!
Though once I was lost
Yet now I'm found
Tho' I was blinded now I see!

25. Thro' disappointment and danger, too
Thro' labours and sorrows we've come!
But God's grace was guided safely through;
And it will surely lead us home!

26. We'll praise our Redeemer and King!
Then with the ransomed
around God's throne
We'll praise our Redeemer and King!
We'll tell how His mercy for sin did atone,
Through countless ages this song we'll sing!

27. It's all because of God's amazing grace! Because on Calvary's mountain
He took my place!

28. And someday, some glorious morning I shall see Him face to face,
All because of God's amazing grace!

It leads us to Christ who reconciles us to God
On our behalf, Christ fulfills the law

57. Encamped along the hills of light, Ye Christian soldiers, rise, And press the battle ere the night Shall veil the glowing skies.

58. Against the foe in vales below Let all our strength be hurled; Faith is the victory, we know, That overcomes the world.

59. Faith is the victory. Faith is the victory
Faith is the victory! Faith is the victory! Oh, glorious victory, That overcomes the world.

60. His banner over us is love, Our sword the Word of God; We tread the road the saints above With shouts of triumph trod.

61. By faith, they like a whirlwind’s breath, Swept on o’er every field; The faith by which they conquered death Is still our shining shield.

62. On every hand the foe we find Drawn up in dread array; Let tents of ease be left behind, And onward to the fray.

63. Salvation’s helmet on each head, With truth all girt about, The earth shall tremble ’neath our tread, And echo with our shout.

64. To him that overcomes the foe, White raiment shall be giv’n; Before the angels he shall know His name confessed in heav’n.

65. Then onward from the hills of light, Our hearts with love aflame, We’ll vanquish all the hosts of night, In Jesus’ conqu’ring name.

66. Faith is the victory. Faith is the victory
Faith is the victory! Faith is the victory! Oh, glorious victory, That overcomes the world.

and ever! 11 Yours, O Lord, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and
the majesty. Everything in the heavens
and on earth is Yours, O Lord…

70. and at Your discretion people are made great and given strength.
We adore You as the One who is over all things. 12 Wealth and honour come from
You alone, for You rule over everything. Power and might are in Your hand,
and at Your discretion people
are made great and given strength.
