What Is Holiness? (Leviticus 19-20) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Aug 27, 2024

Holiness is a common, fuzzy word. But basically it comes to the idea of "dedication." God is dedicated to his people; God expects them to mirror Him, and be dedicated to Him the same way.

Today, we are going to rabbit trail for just a week, and talk about holiness. One of the hardest things to explain in the entire Bible, in my opinion, is the idea of holiness. The Bible often tells us that God is holy, and when the Bible tells us this, it tends to be in very serious, weighty ...read more

A Place For God

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Feb 3, 2026

The real temple is the one God builds out of us acting in community.

When I was in Pittsburgh working on my Doctor of Ministry program I noticed dozens of huge, impressive, mostly brick churches - which are if not exactly empty, certainly not filled to bursting. It’s worse in Europe, of course. How many of you have been to places like Notre Dame in Paris or ...read more

Receiving The Holy Spirit (The Gentile Pentecost) Series

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Apr 22, 2024

Repentance brings life to a person, because God has called us to Himself. And once called, we have a choice to make – this is what the people felt. God was calling them, His Spirit was moving them, and they had to respond!

Unexpected Converts

Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Dec 26, 2000

Grace. Those most people thought were least likely to become God’s people are the ones who come to Christ; while the ones often thought to be most likely became his enemies.

Two of the surprises that we come across as we read the New Testament are the people who become close to Jesus, and the people who are alienated from Jesus. It is surprising because it is exactly the opposite of what we would expect to find. We would expect Jesus to be close to the religious folk ...read more

Holiness: The Hollow Inheritance Series

Contributed by Peter Loughman on Jan 21, 2007

The God who we find in the Bible, is the God of real life, not the God of our imagined Disneyfied Happy Ending Life. Nasty, bad things happen in life. Being holy is not looking good, its dealing with life God’s way.

We who have been involved in the church for many years read this Scripture about holiness and we say to ourselves…I know all about that holiness stuff, we say…Holiness is literally God separating us from ...read more
