Christians are commanded to -be holy-- But how is that command kept- By making rules and keeping laws- This message demonstrates how the command to be holy is kept by fulfilling the call of love -- Love for God first, and with it love for man.-I. The Call to follow Christ is a call to a life of holy love. 1 Pet 1-13-16-II. The Call to -Be Holy- is a call to love like God loves 1 Jn 2-15-17-III. Christian Holiness is the practical application of a Christ-like love -- first to God and then to man. Mark 12-28-31

As evidence of our new life in Christ, we are compelled to just living Being justified by faith alone, we seek to live lives that reflect that marvelous truth

This message considers and answers the question, -Could Jesus have sinned-- through evaluating various Biblical texts, and it demonstrates how Christ's impeccability encourages the believer

Because you cannot live the Christian life in your own power, you must at all times seek to be filled with the One who gives the power to live a God-Glorifying life in Christ. This message looks at what the filling of the Spirit is -and is not-, and why we must be filled with the Holy Spirit.

Because our sin is an affront to God, it can never be tolerated in our lives as believers, but must be repented of and put away not matter the cost, that we might treasure Christ above all.

Because Christians are indwelt by the Holy Spirit of God, we will live holy lives as we giver our full attention to Him in following His Christ-honoring lead

Because when sin is tolerated among God's people it should grieve us deeply, we ought to be provoked by it to heartfelt confession and repentance as we seek God's mercy through the promise of the Gospel

This message shows how sanctification is the pursuit of seeing and savoring Christ

Because we know that God is faithful, we must trust him with all we are and all we have as we go out in obedience to His calling.

Because God is working in the Christian to produce the holiness He commands of the Christian, we can and muss press on to lay hold of it with all our might by the strength He provides.
