Holy | Pastor Blake Harcup

In this sermon, Pastor Blake delves into the often misunderstood concept of holiness. He begins by explaining that God's holiness is greater than our failures, using the example from Isaiah 6 where God's holiness purifies Isaiah. The pastor then illustrates how God's holiness brings new life, referencing Ezekiel's vision of the river flowing from the temple.

Pastor Blake emphasizes that as believers, we are called to be holy - set apart for God's purposes. He explains that holiness isn't about perfection, but about allowing God's presence to flow through us to impact the world. Using Jesus' words in John 7:38, he shows how we become agents of change when we allow God's holiness to flow from us.

The sermon concludes by addressing how we pursue holiness. Pastor Blake stresses that it's not about behavior modification, but heart transformation. He uses the analogy of adding water to a jug to illustrate that we grow in holiness by adding more of God to our lives, rather than just trying to subtract sin.
