Good morning NCF!!!
Welcome everyone and welcome guests.
Remind them to fill out the connection card in the bulletin and receive a mug at the end of service.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Last week we started a 3-week series on Thankfulness.
Let’s turn to our key scripture.
We spoke on being thankful for the Good news to rejects everywhere.
Next week we will talk about being thankful for a new family that fully loves and accepts us in Jesus.
Today we are going to discuss how I am thankful that God does not leave us in our own filth.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Today I Am Thankful That God Does Not Leave Us In Our Filth.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, Today I Am Thankful That God Does Not Leave Us In Our Filth.
I was that prodigal, covered in the filth of my own making.
And I am glad that God placed his robe of Righteousness on me.
I am glad he invested in me the authority of the name of Jesus.
But today, I am so glad that he washes us clean.
That he does not leave us where he found us.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We all still have struggles that God is trying to deal with us on.
And our struggles are not the same.
Some of us are new to this Christian walk.
Some of us have been doing this walk for years.
But what we all have in common is a need and I hope a desire to be pure like Jesus.
A desire, a hunger to be Holy.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And yet, I am convinced Holiness has become the most unpopular message in the Church today.
I want Jesus to save me from Hell but, God forbid I have to stop having sex before marriage.
I want all the goodies that come with Jesus, but God forbid I have to forgive.
I want the comfort and security of salvation, but God forbid He confront me on my drinking problem.
Let me ask you, would you feel ok having Jesus with you while you are having sex outside of marriage?
Would you feel ok, holding a grudge and not forgiving if Jesus was with you in person?
Would you honestly be cool with Jesus sitting in your living room with you as you got high or drunk?
Would you feel ok, if Jesus was next to you as you bad mouthed, and talked down other people?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, lets talk about Holiness.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Paul is very clear here – When we sin we are joining Christ in that very sin.
If I sleep around, I am joining Christ in that very sin.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What does holiness even mean?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Simply put God is Holy because He is above and set apart from all His creation.
His love is perfect, his purity is perfect, and He is so unique from us, and the rest of his creation.
For us it means: To be separated from anything that is not like God’s character and nature.
Holiness looks like Jesus.
Holiness is simply to Love God perfectly and to love your neighbor as yourself.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Today I want to give you 3 ways to move towards holiness in your life.

Today I want to give you 3 ways to move towards holiness in your life.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Take Heart God Has Given Us A Promise Of Holiness
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Take Heart God Has Given Us A Promise Of Holiness
We are counted Holy because God chose us to be Holy
We are counted Holy because of what Christ has done.
He purchased us from the slave master of sin with His blood.
We have been given an inheritance of Holiness
And we were sealed with the Holy Spirit as the guarantee to our future perfection.
We are Holy because of God’s promise to us.
God promises that He will fully transform us into the image of Jesus.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Remember You Have A Part To Play
We must be willing to strive towards holiness.
We must be willing to cut ties with that which displeases God in our lives.
The Holy Spirit will reveal what displeases God and we must be willing to leave it behind.
We have to run, from Temptations.
We must also strive towards a deeper love for Jesus.
Once we love Jesus more than we love sin, sin will disappear.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Trust God’s Role in Our Holiness
He Gave Us All We Need
Holy Spirit works His life through us (If we yield to it)
The Holy Spirit brings Conviction
The Holy Spirit Gives us the Desire and Power to do His will
God will complete the work He started in us.
Sometimes that means we will have to suffer the consequences of our choices so, we will learn.
Sometimes that means we will have to suffer the consequences of our choices so, we will learn.
God cares more about your Holiness than he does your comfort.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Progressive Holiness Is Evidence That We Belong To Him.
HOLD ON TO THE PROMISE OF HOLINESS
REMEMBER YOU HAVE A PART TO PLAY
TRUST GOD’S ROLE IN MAKING YOU HOLY
