    “The Ultimate Glory-Moving together in one direction, purpose and toward one goal.”

    Paul, who is the writer of our text, challenges the Philippian church to press on in unity to become the best that they could be for Christ.

The fourth reaction to Jesus’ claims comes from the religious and civil authorities. It paints a clear picture of men in every generation who ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,710 views

    To be Holy is to be set apart. Not “Holier than Thou”, not religious, but Holy in God’s sight. Are we set apart? To be set apart is to be a Christ-like example to those around us.

    What do we mean when we say something is Holy? Look at your Bible. It says “Holy Bible.” What makes it Holy? The land of Israel is called “The Holy Land.” The city of Jerusalem is called “The Holy City.” Why? There is a quality about all three that they share in common, They all belong to ...read more

    Holiness is part of a process whereby God makes us more like Christ. It isn't just what we do in church on Sunday that marks us as holy; it is being faithful during the week, before the watching world...letting our light shine.
