Victory In Jesus Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jun 23, 2016

I am convinced Jesus didn’t love those three more than the others, but they were privileged to ...read more

One of the most difficult attributes for us to understand as humans is the holiness of God. This sermon attempts to describe it, but like all others, cannot do the subject justice!

If you want to know or learn more about God, one of the most important things you need to learn about Him is that He is Holy. His holiness is probably one of the most prominent attribute that is talked about in scripture. The word “holy” is mentioned over 600 times in the Bible. He is ...read more
