The subject of holiness and sanctification cannot be treated apart from God and His presence. The ground around the burning bush and Mount Sinai was hallowed because of His presence. In the Old Testament there are degrees of holiness, but in the New Testament and today, God's Spirit is in us making us holy. Sanctification is not the act or process of justification; it is the activity of the presence of God to change us into His image and likeness.

Studying grammar, particularly antonyms like "common" and "profane", helps us better understand the original meanings of the Hebrew words related to holiness and sanctification. We have a language problem, where holiness is made synonymous with perfection; it cannot mean perfection or sinlessness except when speaking of God and His attributes. When God declares people holy, they are set apart and dedicated, not perfect.

Pastor Scott teaches from Ephesians 4 that God gives grace and spiritual gifts to every believer and raises up leaders (apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers) to equip the church so all can grow from spiritual infancy into mature Christlikeness.
Breaking down the basic Hebrew verbs shows us that God does the sanctifying and it is a process, not a state we remain in consistently. It is started here on earth and wholly completed in His presence. VF-2194 Watch, Listen and Learn 24x7 at PastorMelissaScott.com Pastor Melissa Scott teaches from Faith Center in Glendale.

In this sermon, Pastor Scott preached from Acts 5:27-42. As the disciples continued proclaiming the good news, they faced increasing persecution. Yet rather than obeying the demands of others to stop, they chose to obey God and remained faithful to their mission. In the same way, followers of Jesus today may face opposition when sharing their faith in places where Christ is resisted. The question we must wrestle with is this: What will we do when speaking about Jesus comes at a cost? Check out this sermon to learn more.

Hebrews declares that without following peace with all mankind and holiness, no man shall see the Lord. Holiness is a complicated subject, but a desire to see God will lead you to pull apart the word meanings. This message adds another layer to the foundation for understanding the words.

What the Bible means by the word "sanctification" is difficult to understand in English because different streams of words were used simultaneously to translate these concepts. It is faulty understanding and bad theology that equate holiness with morality or perfection; the meaning in the original languages was to be set apart by God for His purposes. Rightly understood, it is not something we can do to ourselves but rather something done to us by the Holy Spirit.

Join us this evening for A Quick 15-minute moment of devotion and prayer with Minister Ben Pate from 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 NKJV
To understand the importance of the Resurrection and why it is worth following the proofs, there must first be an acknowledgement of our fallen condition, in need of divine pardon, and a recognition of our immortality. If Christ is not risen, our preaching, first, is vain. Our faith and hope of forgiveness and resurrection are also in vain. No "logical explanations" can explain away the transformation of Paul or the eyewitnesses, the exact timing and details of fulfilled prophecy, or the growth of the church. 1 Corinthians 15:14 VF-2076 Watch, Listen and Learn 24x7 at PastorMelissaScott.com Pastor Melissa Scott teaches from Faith Center in Glendale.

In this episode, Pastor Scott continues Week 2 of the Eternal Scorecard series, focusing more on how we engage with the "salvific scorecards" we have created in many churches today.
Can church conflict actually be a good thing? In this week's Midweek Move, we dig into Acts 15 — one of the most defining moments in the early church — where a fight over salvation itself forced the apostles to clarify what the Gospel really is. Carlos Renfroe and Dallas Mora sit down to unpack the Jerusalem Council, explain why Jewish believers were adding circumcision to the requirements for salvation, and explore why cultural identity and spiritual identity are not the same thing. Plus — the moment Paul and Barnabas went separate ways over John Mark, and why that "split" may have been exactly what God intended to double the mission.

Paradigm: a fundamental framework, pattern, or model of thought that shapes how we understand and approach the world or a problem.God wants us to understand that there is purpose in the pain; meaning in the mess. Instead of asking why is God allowing this to happen, we can change our paradigm and ask where is God is moving in the situation.
Listen in as Pastor Scott breaks down this weighty chapter of scripture that foreshadows the sacrifice of Jesus and the power of the cross.

Grandparents have a unique opportunity to leave an impact that reaches far beyond their lifetime. Through everyday moments, shared experiences, and faithful examples, they help shape how future generations view life, faith, and even the process of growing older.This Sunday, Pastor Scott highlighted that godly grandparents do more than tell stories and make memories. They pass on wisdom, invest in the spiritual growth of their families, and point their grandchildren toward Christ. Through their love, encouragement, and example, they become generational disciple makers, blessing givers, and legacy builders.A faithful legacy is not measured by what we leave behind, but by the lives we influence for the glory of God.
Week one of looking at C.S. Lewis' book Screwtape Letter. We will dive into four chapters of the book and how it connects with God's word in our lives today. This week we look at the fact that the enemies schemes have never changed, his goal is always to distract us.

Join us this evening for A Quick 15-minute moment of devotion and prayer with Rev. Brenda Richardson, M.Div., from 1 Chronicles 16:34 and Lamentations 3:21 NKJV
When doing a study on the Resurrection and trying to get information, there are a few things we must do as historians. First, use a method that has been tried and proven, that we know has the ability to unearth. Next, detach from bias. Finally, account for what we know as certain history. Many critics apply different criteria for looking at Scripture than they would for looking at any other field of study, leading to biased conclusions. An honest historian's approach to the evidence available indicates the scriptural records are valid history. Our faith is not vain: He is risen, and with the presence of Christ in our lives, we can order our lives accordingly.

Pastor Scott is joined by Spencer and Sara Bauer to hear about the work of Bridges, an international student ministry on multiple LA college campuses.
It is a mistake to assume the disciples were the only witness of the risen Christ. Such an assumption leaves a big gap in explaining the vast spread of Christianity in such a short period of time. A careful reading of the book of Acts shows us that there were many more witnesses whose preaching was consistently focused on one thing: the risen Christ and the power of His Resurrection.

We challenge the way we talk about the Holy Spirit by reframing fire as God's confirmation rather than our performance or a Sunday-only moment. We leave with a clear responsibility to tend the flame through surrender, purity, and steady daily obedience. • The Holy Spirit brings the fire while we bring the sacrifice • The meaning of all flame as being consumed by God's presence • Leviticus 9 and why fire signals approval and confirmation • Recognising that not everything burning has God's approval • Asking what interference crowds out the flame • Trimming the wick as a picture of removing buildup and neglect • Choosing consistency over intensity through daily maintenance • Refusing to chase the effects of fire without responsibility • Pentecost as a mobile altar and an internalised temple life • Purity as wholeheartedness and removing competitors for his affection
Pastor Scott introduces the new series "ETERNAL SCORECARD." Using golf as an analogy, he addresses how we keep leaderboards based on the performance in our lives to determine who will reach heaven or not. This ultimately impacts how we treat ourselves and others. This episode sets up the groundwork for this series with Week 1: "Birdies & Bogeys."
How did the Apostle Paul go from being an enemy of Christians to defender of the faith? There would be no benefit for an enemy of the church to lie about his conversion to the faith, to preach openly and establish churches or to give them correction. After the Resurrection Jesus appeared to Paul and chose him to herald the gospel. Paul's deep knowledge of the word lays out the basis for our hope in the Resurrection, the promise of eternal life. 1 Corinthians 15 VF-2182 Watch, Listen and Learn 24x7 at PastorMelissaScott.com Pastor Melissa Scott teaches from Faith Center in Glendale.
