This sermon entitled "Holiness Part 2" emphasizes that holiness, defined by the Hebrew word kadosh as being "set apart" and belonging exclusively to God, is not primarily about moral perfection but is a command and an alignment to God's original purpose for humanity.

He has avenged on her the blood of his servants.” And again they shouted: “Hallelujah! Th...

Worship has a location.

Acts 2:1 When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them....
