The Purity Principle
by Sermon Recap on July 15th, 2025
Drawing from Deuteronomy 23, we're challenged to confront the purity problem” that plagues humanity. God desires to dwell with His people, but our inherent impurity creates a barrier. This dilemma isn't just ancient history - it's a reflection of our own struggles with sin and unworthiness. The beautiful resolution comes through Jesus Christ, who provides the purity we cannot achieve on our own. We're reminded that God's desire for our purity isn't about cruel restrictions, but about enabling a close relationship with Him. This message invites us to embrace the purity Christ offers and to live it out in our daily lives, both in our worship gatherings and our everyday interactions.  Read More

Wholly Holy
by Sermon Recap on February 24th, 2025
In this sermon, we delve into Deuteronomy 7, uncovering the profound call for God's people to live wholly holy lives. The central message reminds us that God's holiness is not just a lofty concept, but a transformative reality that should shape our entire existence. As we work through this chapter, we're challenged to consider how our lives reflect God's holiness in practical ways. The passage draws fascinating parallels between ancient Israel's call to be set apart and our modern struggle to live distinctly in a world that often opposes godly values. We're encouraged to cultivate an unwavering fear of God, not out of terror, but out of reverent awe that overshadows our worldly fears. This message invites us to examine our hearts: Are we truly living with undivided loyalty to God? How can we strengthen our unshakable faith in His promises? As we grapple with these questions, we're reminded that in Christ, God's commitment to holiness hasn't changed, but has been beautifully fulfilled, offering us grace and the power to live holy lives in an unholy world.  Read More
