When we hear the word holy, many of us think distant, judgmental, or “holier than thou.” In this message, we explore God’s holiness unfiltered—fearful and mysterious, yet deeply approachable—by looking at Scripture, the life of Jesus, and what it means to stand on holy ground in everyday life. From ancient temples to Safeway lines, this sermon invites us to rediscover a God who is both transcendent and near, and who transforms us not through striving, but through closeness.
