    God is the Lord who makes us holy. Sanctification is a process - a journey all of us as Christians are on. Recognize the journey, remember the destination, request help with roadblocks, refuel often and rejoice in your progress.

    JEHOVAH McKADDESH What’s in a name? The things we call people changes with our relationship with them. If you were to ask me in the summer of 1989 who Naomi Humphrys was I would have said "never met her". In the fall of 1989 I would say "she’s that girl I met in the cafeteria – ...read more

  • Bone Weary

    In our readings this afternoon we have a very strong and powerful message.

Yet despite his own feelings about ...read more

    This is an introductory sermon to a series on First Peter. In this sermon, we get reacquainted with the man who wrote it, the people to whom he sent it, and the particular situation that prompted him to write it.

    This passage presents the seven elements of unity for every church.

    Introduction What is it that unites the Christian church? Is it what verses 2 and 3 have already spoken of? Is it humility, gentleness, patience, forbearance? Is it love?

     | 5,793 views
