Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Nov 3, 2021

This is the sixth study in the Book of 1 Peter

Be Holy... Mission Impossible?

Contributed by Paul Davidson on May 22, 2017

Be Holy… How is this even possible? I have a difficult time just being a decent husband and father. How am I supposed to be as holy as God Himself? I’m just human. I make mistakes. Why am I being commanded to do something that seems to be impossible?

Please turn in your Bibles to 1 Peter 1:13-22… [READ] Our key verses this morning are verses 15-16… “15 but like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all your behavior; 16 because it is written, ‘You shall be holy, for I am holy.’” Be Holy… How is this even possible?

What Will You Do With What You Have Heard-Easter Sunday

Contributed by Walter Troup on Apr 21, 2019

Many people have heard the Bible story of Jesus being put on the cross, then three days later be raised from the grave. What was the purpose of all of this? And once the purpose is revealed, what will you do with it?

The Blood Of Holiness Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Apr 21, 2019

Jesus Our High Priest

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Oct 28, 2018

Jesus is our great high priest. In him we have a permanent salvation, which gives us eternal security. We also have a perfect sacrifice, complete with nothing needed for our salvation.

Our student chaplains carry the phone most of the time, but sometimes I get the important task. It’s nice to have a chaplain ready to ...read more

Forward In Faith: Free From Sin, Not Free To Sin Series

Contributed by Dean Courtier on Aug 14, 2014

‘stand firm’ in the freedom which Christ brings, and Christ alone brings. Do not go back into the old way of trying to earn or win God’s favour by obedience to the Law. (1 Peter 1 v18-19)

This morning I want us to think about freedom, what we have freedom from and what we have the freedom to do. Christians often talk about something we refer to as the Gospel, the Gospel simply means Good News or glad tidings. And one of the best ways we can explain the Good News about Jesus ...read more

How Holiness Theology Transformed My Understanding Of Christianity

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Mar 27, 2021

Let me begin by saying that you should trust the scriptures over the words of any men. We must trust the scriptures much more than Luther, Calvin, Arminius, Wesley, Edwards, Whitefield or any Pope or bishop.
