Andrew Murray
Andrew Murray (1828 - 1917). South African pastor, author, and revivalist born in Graaff-Reinet, Cape Colony, to Dutch Reformed missionary parents. Sent to Scotland at 10, he studied at Aberdeen University and Utrecht, Netherlands, returning ordained in 1848. He pastored in Bloemfontein and Worcester, later moderating the Dutch Reformed Church’s Cape Synod.

Murray wrote over 240 books, including Abide in Christ (1882) and With Christ in the School of Prayer, translated into dozens of languages. His emphasis on holiness, prayer, and divine healing influenced global Pentecostalism. Married to Emma Rutherford in 1856, they had eight children, four becoming missionaries. He founded theological seminaries and the Huguenot College for women. Despite chronic illness, he traveled to Europe and America, speaking at Keswick Conventions. His devotional works remain widely read, shaping Christian spirituality across denominations.

Sermon Summary
Andrew Murray emphasizes that all things originate from God, exist through His power, and are ultimately directed towards Him. He highlights that recognizing and living in accordance with this truth brings glory to God, which is the purpose of human existence. By acknowledging God's sovereignty and purpose, believers can find true blessedness and fulfillment in their lives. This understanding is essential for living a life that honors God and reflects His glory.
All Things Are of Him
‘Of him, and through him, and to him, are all things.’ This is the God of whom we say: ‘To whom be glory for ever.’ This is his glory, and it is giving him glory when we know, and acknowledge, and live, and act on this blessed truth. All things are of him, as their beginning and alone author; and through him, as their continuance and maintenance, the only power by which they exist and act; and to him, as the sole aim and end for which they have their being. This is God’s glory: to know this and to make it known, to show it forth and find our blessedness in it – this is living to the glory of God. It was for this life man was created.
