God Is Holy
Holiness is an attribute of God, but it also characterizes all of His other attributes. God is all of His qualities at once (unlike us). He is perfect, and complicated, in a way that we cannot relate to without His assistance. The aim of this 3 week advent...
Do Not Fear (Acts – Week 12)
Acts 8:1-8 Our society’s primary motive right now is fear. We just had an election, and the default message from both sides was not “I’m the best person for the job” it was “vote for me, because if my opponent gets in the world will end.” The “us” vs...

Ananias and Sapphira (Acts – Week 8)
Acts 5:1-11 This text is perhaps the most challenging in the book of Acts. We know that the Holy Spirit is the same today as He was in this story. So how to we understand it? The question we need to answer is one of hypocrisy: How much of our outward...
