Your favorite candidate will win or lose based on how our country votes. However, the Church will win or lose based on our behavior between now and then.

Ideas have consequences. Actions are the result of ideas, thoughts, and history. You will not know how to get where you need to go if you do not see how you got to where you are.

In this message, Tim Keller teaches about the end of the “great prayer” by Jesus, also known as his “priestly prayer.” In this prayer, we see Jesus praying for his disciples in the room with him and future Christians.

We are living temples that host the presence and glory of God. Too many of us are running around trying to build towers and bring glory to ourselves, and not enough of us are willing to become temples where we have clean hands and pure hearts and worship Jesus in spirit and truth. Take a moment to examine your life. What are the towers that need to be torn down? In what ways can you become a temple of the Holy Spirit?

Jackie Hill Perry teaches on the holiness of God through the book of Isaiah. Holiness finds its most precise definition in who God reveals Himself to be. We learn how His transcendence and His moral purity make Him Holy, Holy, Holy.
