     | 6,328 views

    Pentecost was a divinely planned event; it was no mere afterthought with God. The coming of the Holy Spirit was as much a part of the redemptive plan as was the incarnation, death, resurrection and ascension of the Lord Jesus Christ.

     | 4,917 views

    The holiness of God is a vital part of our study on the character of God. Holiness of God is used as a prefix more than any other prefix describing God. He is Holy God. The name we will study Jehovah-M’kaddesh occurs in Leviticus 20:7-8.

    The Lord who makes you Holy Leviticus 20:7-8 The holiness of God is a deep theological subject. That does not mean we need to use deep theological language. For the holiness of God we need to use the Albert Einstein rule of simplicity. Everything must be as simple as possible and no simpler. ...read more

     | 24,336 views

    This is a passage that really speaks for itself. It looks at how much the glass of water meant to David, the great lengths his men went to get it, and how David then gave it to God in worship. Would we be willing to do the same?
