Chuck Smith emphasizes the beauty of the Lord as reflected in the nation of Israel, which was transformed from nothing into a strong and beautiful nation through God's grace. However, as Israel became prosperous, she turned away from God to pursue other idols, mirroring the current state of America, which has also strayed from its covenant with God. The sermon highlights that true beauty comes from a relationship with God, who desires to mold us into His image, and warns against the dangers of trusting in our own beauty rather than in Him. Smith calls for a return to God, reminding us that righteousness exalts a nation while sin brings reproach. Ultimately, he encourages believers to allow the beauty of Jesus to shine through their lives.

Mike Bickle explores 'Ten Expressions of God's Beauty,' emphasizing the multifaceted nature of God's beauty as revealed in Scripture. He highlights three primary passages: Revelation 4, Revelation 1, and Song of Solomon 5, which collectively illustrate God's beauty through light, color, and the character of Jesus. Bickle encourages believers to become lifelong students of God's beauty, drawing inspiration from King David's desire to gaze upon God's beauty. Each expression reveals different aspects of God's nature, from His majestic presence to His intimate relationship with humanity. Ultimately, Bickle invites the congregation to deepen their understanding and appreciation of God's beauty in their lives.
