El sermón “Gloriate en Dios” de Joel Coyoc aborda la temática de la glorificación de Dios a través del reconocimiento de Su salvación y poder en la vida de los creyentes, a la luz del Salmo 18:36-39. Coyoc expone cómo David, en su victoria sobre los enemigos, reconoce que toda fuerza y éxito proviene de Dios, quien le ha "ensanchado los pasos" y le ha dado la victoria en las batallas. Utilizando el contexto histórico de David y su relación con Jesucristo, el predicador destaca que estos triunfos son representativos de la victoria total de Cristo sobre el pecado, Satanás y el mundo. Versículos como Romanos 16:20 y 1 Corintios 9:26 son citados para subrayar la certeza de que, en Cristo, los creyentes pueden igualmente perseguir y derrotar a sus enemigos espirituales. La significancia práctica de este sermón radica en la exhortación de vivir en la victoria que ofrece el evangelio, destacando que los verdaderos creyentes, fortalecidos por Cristo, deben estar firmes en la confrontación de sus luchas internas y externas.

The Bible emphasizes that God is our strength and refuge, as declared in Psalm 18:1-2.
Psalm 18:1-2 beautifully articulates the nature of God as our strength, expressing a deep trust in Him as a fortress and deliverer. David proclaims his love for the Lord, identifying Him uniquely as his rock, strength, and salvation. This imagery signifies God's unwavering support and protective presence in the lives of believers, affirming that when we face adversities and threats, we can rely on His strength to uphold and protect us. As believers in Christ, we can claim this truth as God not only equips us to confront spiritual battles but also assures us of victory over our enemies through His mighty power.

God's promises are true as evidenced by His faithfulness throughout Scripture and personal experience in believers' lives.
The truthfulness of God's promises is rooted in His immutable nature, as reflected in the Bible. Throughout Scripture, believers witness God's faithfulness, whether in His covenant with Noah, Abraham, or the Israelites. Each event is a testament to God's reliability and integrity. In the life of David, particularly in Psalm 18, we see a narrative of deliverance that underscores God’s promises. David recalls how God rescues him from his enemies, emphasizing that God's word is indeed an anchor for our souls. Furthermore, personal experiences of grace and redemption in the lives of believers affirm that God actively fulfills His promises. Thus, we find confidence in His Word, knowing that He is always faithful to His covenantal commitments.

Giving glory to God is essential for Christians as it acknowledges His sovereignty and creates a posture of humility.
For Christians, giving glory to God is an act of worship that recognizes His supreme authority and sovereignty. Throughout Psalm 18, David exemplifies this by attributing his victories and strength to God alone, stating that the Lord is the source of his triumph. This act of glorifying God not only reflects gratitude but also cultivates a spirit of humility, reminding believers that their achievements are ultimately gifts from God. In acknowledging God's deserved glory, we align our hearts with His purposes, fostering a deeper relationship with Him. Additionally, glorifying God serves as a testimony to others of His goodness and faithfulness, encouraging the community of faith to trust in His power.
Psalm 18:3, 1 Corinthians 15:57
