Holiness in Salvation and Sanctification, from our Midweek Bible Study: "Holiness of God" - 5.27.26 Taught by Omar Edwards. Elder Omar Edwards opens this teaching with an honest confession: the call to live set apart for God sounds like an impossible standard, especially when someone cuts you off on I-75 right after church. Working from 1 Peter 1:13-19, Omar walks through four men in Scripture (Jacob, Job, Habakkuk, and Paul) who each wrestled with a holy God and came through with peace on the other side. The sermon addresses the real mindsets that keep believers from growing into who God has called them to be: a secular disconnection from His presence, suffering that distorts our view of Him, a self-first posture that indicts God when He does not respond on our terms, and a self-righteous spirit that grades others rather than examining itself. At the center of it all is a truth that steadies the whole message. God does not expect perfection, but He does expect growth, and that growth is possible only because Christ's righteousness has been credited to us. Anyone who has ever felt the distance between who they are and who God is calling them to be will walk away with both honest challenge and real hope.

Wednesday Night Teaching "Holy Justice" (Luke 13:1-5) What do you do with the parts of the Bible that feel severe? The passages where God's judgment lands swiftly and people die, where nations are destroyed, where the cost of sin is immediate and real? If we're honest, those passages can produce more questions than comfort. In this Wednesday night teaching, Elder Mike Hess walks through Luke 13:1-5 and a series of passages across the Old and New Testaments, including Leviticus 10, 1 Chronicles 13, and Numbers 4, to show that God's justice is never a miscarriage of justice. It is always an expression of who He is: holy, infinitely wise, and never wrong. Hess addresses four commonly misunderstood biblical concepts (justice, holiness, grace, and sin), examines the stumbling blocks that lead us to question God rather than submit to Him, and shows that perfect justice is ultimately found at the cross of Jesus Christ, where the wrath of God was satisfied so that sinners could be declared righteous. Because God is holy, we can trust Him completely, with our questions, our pain, and our future.

Journey Together "Holiness and Conscience" (Romans 1:16-17) When God's holiness is fully in view, the conscience has no place to hide. Elder Peter Finch uses the life of Martin Luther as a window into what happens when a person measures himself honestly against what God actually requires: not human standards, not a curve, but the standard of loving God with every part of you, every day. Luther's years of compulsive confession and self-punishment weren't weakness; they were the logical result of seeing God's holiness clearly and refusing to pretend otherwise. The same mirror that exposed Luther's despair, the law of God, ultimately pointed him to the discovery that changed the Reformation: the righteousness of God in Romans 1:17 is not a demand but a gift, freely given to all who trust in Christ. Clothed in Christ's righteousness, the fear that once crushed Luther was transformed into love, adoration, and a genuine desire to grow in obedience. Philippians 2:12-13 closes the message: it is God who works in you both to will and to work. The grace that saved you is the same grace that is changing you.

What is the right response when you come face to face with the holiness of God? In this Journey Together Bible study, David Miller teaches from Luke 5:1–11, exploring what R.C. Sproul calls the trauma of holiness. The episode covers three effects that God's holiness produces in us: an awareness of sin, a holy fear, and a change in direction. Using the account of Peter's miraculous catch of fish, David shows how the miracle was never about the fish. Jesus directed Peter's attention away from the catch and toward something Peter could not escape: his own sinfulness in the presence of a holy God. This episode is for anyone who has ever wondered why the gospel requires bad news before it can offer good news, and for those who need to be reminded that being caught in sin is not a sign of God's absence. It is a sign of his mercy. Presented by McGregor Podcast 2026 Visit Our Website at McGregorPodcast.com New to McGregor? Plan a visit at mcgregor.net/plan-a-visit
God's children are set apart as saints, given the privilege of sharing in Christ's moral beauty. Pastor John explains how God's holiness draws us to him.
God is often described as loving, gracious, and near. But in Scripture, every person who encountered Him directly fell to the ground in fear. In this McGregor Podcast teaching, Danny traces that pattern from Moses at the burning bush to John in Revelation, asking why holiness produces awe before comfort. He explores what Scripture means when it calls God holy, why the chasm between humanity and God is one no human effort can close, and why the cross is the only place where God's justice and mercy could ever meet. Listeners walk away with a bigger view of what it cost to close that gap, and a deeper understanding of why grace only grows larger the more seriously we take God's holiness. This episode is for anyone wanting to understand the gospel at a deeper level, or whose sense of grace has grown smaller than Scripture intends.

What is the defining attribute of God? On this episode, David Wollen explores the holiness of God and how seeing Him rightly shapes our understanding of grace.
Journey Together "An Introduction to the Holiness of God" (Isaiah 6; Job 42) What does it actually mean that God is holy? Before the answer can land, some ideas have to go. In this opening Journey Together teaching, Pastor Russell Howard begins a new series on the holiness of God by clearing away three distortions that have found their way into Christian thinking: open theology, which pictures God as a character in process alongside us; dualism, which assigns Satan a symmetry with God that Scripture flatly refuses; and any framework for salvation that credits human merit with tipping the scale. From there, Pastor Russell turns to what Scripture actually shows when people encounter the holy God. Isaiah undone in the temple. Job silenced after his long list of accusations. Saul of Tarsus walking away from everything he thought he was doing. The pattern is the same: first, being undone; then, humility and receptivity to God's Word; then, a transformation of both being and purpose. This is an introduction to holiness, and the good part is still ahead. Presented by McGregor Podcast 2026 Visit Our Website at McGregorPodcast.com New to McGregor?

In this powerful and thought‑provoking episode of the hosts,Tina and Britt slow down and invite listeners into a deeper reverence for who God truly is. Centered on the theme “The Holiness of God,” this episode features Britt reading an extended, convicting teaching drawn from Learning from Leviticus by biblical commentator Warren Wiersbe, exploring why God's holiness is not optional—but foundational to the Christian life.Together, Tina and Britt reflect on how modern Christianity has often lost its awe and reverence for a holy God, and why rediscovering God's holiness changes everything—from how we view sin, to how we worship, to how we live out our faith in everyday life. This episode walks through the book of Leviticus, connecting Old Testament sacrificial law to the finished work of Jesus Christ, and showing how holiness begins at the altar and continues through obedience, discipline, and genuine fellowship with God.Listeners will be challenged to consider how personal holiness impacts families, churches, and even entire communities. The conversation addresses difficult but necessary truths about sin, repentance, worship, spiritual discipline, and living to please God alone—not for appearances, but for His glory.If you're longing for deeper spiritual growth, a renewed fear of the Lord, and a faith that leaves a lasting legacy for future generations, this episode will both encourage and convict your heart.Why the holiness of God is central to the gospelWhat the book of Leviticus teaches believers todayHow Jesus Christ fulfills the sacrificial systemThe difference between emotional worship and Spirit‑led holinessWhy holiness is personal, communal, and transformativeHow walking in holiness shapes your legacy for generations

One of the oldest and most beloved of our Christian hymns is "Holy, Holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty." The words were written by Reginald Heber, who was born in 1783. When we say that God is holy, what does that mean? This may sound like a dull, uninteresting subject, but today we are going to look at what God's holiness means to us in our everyday lives.

To pray is "to lift up our minds and hearts to God." Often, however, we lose a proper sense of the grandeur and awesome nature of God. Routine makes us used to prayer and God becomes something taken for granted, ordinary, and even boring. Reflecting on God's power and transcendence can spark us to a renewed love for him and new horizons in our prayer life.
The holiness of God humbles us in every way. When we come to understand it, even in small measure, it causes us to have humility.
God is holy. It is an essential element of His nature. In order to see God rightly, we must see Him as holy.
In this episode of Pray the Word on Exodus 19:21, David Platt teaches us about God's eternal holiness and perfection.We want to invite you to something we look forward to every year: Secret Church.This year, we'll study the life of Elijah.

Now Moses was keeping the flock of his father-in-law, Jethro, the priest of Midian, and he led his flock to the west side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. And the angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush. He looked, and behold, the bush was burning, yet it was not consumed. And Moses said, “I will turn aside to see this great sight, why the bush is not burned.” When the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the bush, “Moses, Moses!” And he said, “Here I am.” Then he said, “Do not come near; take your sandals off your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground.” And he said, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God.Then the LORD said, “I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters. I know their sufferings, and I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land to a good and broad land, a land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites. And now, behold, the cry of the people of Israel has come to me, and I have also seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them. Come, I will send you to Pharaoh that you may bring my people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt.” But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?” He said, “But I will be with you, and this shall be the sign for you, that I have sent you: when you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God on this mountain.”

A spiritual and saving knowledge of God is the greatest need of every human creature. The foundation of all true knowledge of God must be a clear understanding of His attributes as revealed in Holy Scripture. An unknown God cannot be truly trusted, served, nor worshipped. In this book, an effort has been made to describe some of the principal perfections of His divine character. And if we are to truly profit from our perusal of the pages herein, we need to earnestly ask God to bless them to us, to apply His Truth to our conscience and heart, so that, by it, our lives will be transformed. We need something more than a theoretical knowledge of God. God is only truly known in the soul inasmuch as we yield ourselves to Him, submit to His authority, and regulate all the details of our lives by His holy precepts and commandments. Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord (Hosea 6:3). If any man will do His will, he shall know (John 7:17). The people that do know their God shall be strong (Daniel 11:32). About the Author Arthur Walkington Pink (1886-1952) was an influential British Christian evangelist and biblical scholar known for his profound writings and teachings on Reformed theology. Born in Nottingham, England, Pink converted to Christianity in his early twenties, and lived a life devoted to the Lord. His passion for Scripture led him to pastorates in the United States and Australia, though he is best remembered for his prolific writing. Pink's works, including The Sovereignty of God and numerous articles in his monthly magazine, Studies in the Scriptures, have had a lasting impact in the body of Christ.

In Isaiah 6 the prophet Isaiah receives a shocking revelation of God. And chief among the attributes of God that are on display in this vision is his transcendent holiness. Indeed, the Seraphim, in their praise of God, cry out that, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of Hosts..."Sadly, there are many today, even amongst professing Christians, that have lost a sense of the holiness of God. But Scripture, on the contrary, is constantly pointing us toward this truth. In fact, Scripture seems to highlight this attribute of God as much or more than any of his other attributes. To learn more about the holiness of God, and how this passage points us to Christ, tune into this episode.

God's holiness raises two really great questions: 1) If God is so holy that He can't even look at sin, how can sinful people have a relationship with Him? 2) If trusting Jesus' sacrifice on the cross to cover our sin and make us holy in God's sight, why do we keep on sinning?
