This sermon was preached at Crosswater Community Church in Sultan, WA on 3/17/24
As followers of Jesus, we are called to be 'Set Apart' from the ways of the world, pursuing holiness as we live by HIS grace, for HIS glory, and in HIS power to bring about HIS Kingdom in and through HIS people. We are “Set Apart” for a purpose, to intentionally live lives of obedient faith and holiness “for the sake of HIS name among all the nations.”
In our culture many CHRIST followers can be quiet, embarrassed or even ashamed of faith in JESUS for various reasons, none of which are more powerful than GOD and HIS Gospel. Paul reminds us that the Gospel is the "power of GOD for salvation". HE gives us faith to believe and proclaim HIS Gospel so we can live Set Apart..
