Sermon # 47 - The Holy Hand Of God Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 7, 2023

Our God is a holy God and we as His children are called to be a people ‘set apart’ for the Lord. Success is ours when we choose to walk in holiness, and failures are times when we must take stock of our lives to see where we have failed.

The promise of God as given to us at the onset of this year was from Act 11:21 “And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord.” (KJV) As we meditated and studied on the various aspects of the Hand of God, we realized that God’s hand protects us, His ...read more

Purchased For Clarity: The Sobriety Of A Blood-Bought Priesthood

Contributed by Pastor Matthew Faure on Jan 10, 2026

Christ's blood-purchase makes all believers a royal priesthood with permanent Spirit-indwelling. Because New Covenant believers are the temple rather than entering it temporarily, Leviticus 10:9's priestly sobriety requirement becomes continuous, not contextual.

PURCHASED FOR CLARITY: THE SOBRIETY OF A BLOOD-BOUGHT PRIESTHOOD I. YOU ARE NOT YOUR OWN The crisis of modern Christianity begins with a lie: "I am free to choose." But Scripture says: You are not your own. This is not poetry. This is legal reality. Paul asks: "Know ye ...read more

Breathe Like A Believer

Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Nov 19, 2003

In Psalm 51 King David gives us a picture of the "spiritual breathing" believers do every day. We exhale our sorrow and repentance over our sins. We inhale God’s mercy and forgiveness by faith.

Take a deep breath and hold it. Now exhale. What just happened? You took some air into your lungs. Your lungs removed the oxygen from the air for your body to use. You then exhaled what your body doesn’t need—carbon dioxide. What you took in sustains your life. What you breathed out is of no ...read more

No Fools Here: Job's Young Friend Elihu

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Nov 20, 2008

April Fool’s Day. Brash young Elihu is angry at Job and his friends for their inactivity. And he sees the extravagant, "foolish" mercy of God that foreshadows God’s forgiveness in Christ, "foolishly" spending His life for us.

Of some folks they say, "He’s really just a big kid at heart". "He’s really just a big kid at heart." Which means that even if he is in his fifties and has grown-up children, a mortgage and a pension plan, even so he has that irrepressible urge to play. Even so he wants nothing more than to have ...read more
