One of the greatest things that happened during our revival is that we truly worshiped together as a church. As we returned to our "Holiness" series, we take a break from the Ten Commandments for a couple of weeks to look at how God makes us holy. One way is that He calls us together to worship Him. So how do we come and truly worship God each time we gather?

Life Is Holy, Part 2
Today was about what it means that "life is holy" at a societal level. This truth speaks to so many different areas: abortion, human trafficking, slavery, pornography, the environment, treatment of animals, embryonic stem cell research, war, poverty, euthanasia, adoption, and even more. It was a lot for one message, but I hope God speaks to you as you listen!

Life Is Holy, Part 1
Holy people don't murder (Exodus 20:13). That's easy, right? Got that one covered? In Jesus' commentary on the 6th Commandment (Matthew 5:21-26), He tells us that it is not enough just to avoid physically harming others. In order to be holy, to be godly, to be perfected in the image of our Father, we must let Him renovate our hearts and extend grace and forgiveness even to those who anger and hurt us. Because that's what He did for us!

Holy Priesthood
God has initiated every believer into his priesthood. Normally, we think of that idea ("the priesthood of the believer") in terms of our privileges. But when Peter wrote that we were a "holy priesthood" (1 Peter 2:5), he was referring to the responsibilities of the Old Testament priesthood. Looking back at the Old Testament, what can we learn what it means to be God's holy priesthood in this world? On to Leviticus!

Fathers Day Message: Holy at Home
(With VBS going strong, I missed posting the Fathers Day sermon thus far... Better late than never!)
Christians are known in the public face for being big on family. But studies show that the casual church-goer typically lives out their family lives no different from the rest of the society around them. As we studied the 5th Commandment this Fathers Day, we saw how God made family foundational to a prosperous people and how God's people are called to be distinct in how they raise their families to honor God and those He placed in authority.

Holy Labor
NBC News: How the Smartphone Killed the 3-Day Weekend
God uses the Sabbath day to teach His people about work and trust. In our world, technology causes the demands of work (and everything else) to follow us everywhere, if we allow it. God's gift of the Sabbath has never been more relevant.
