    Living a holy life should be the goal of every Christian.

    Living a holy life should be the goal of every Christian. It means that we are separated from the world, as we emulate Jesus Christ daily in our walk with God.

    This is the "Total Depravity" sermon without using the stock theological labels. It is the first sermon in the series and it's covert because too many of our listens will shut down their receptors when they hear the words "Calvinism."

    Last week we listened to a story, a parable, that Jesus told about a Pharisee and a tax collector. Here is what he said: “To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everybody else, Jesus told this parable: 10 "Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a ...read more
