Our Father's House Podcast

On this Palm Sunday sermon, Pastor Jay speaks from Titus 2:11-14 and other scriptures, talking about living a consecrated life - a life that is set aside for our Lord and Savior, and not our own any longer. We are His, bought by His blood, His treasured possession. As a result, we need to choose to be His, intentionally surrendering ourselves to Him.

Pastor Jay challenges us from 1 Peter 1:15-16 and dozens of other scriptures to consider how we are called to be holy, to present ourselves blameless and spotless, in our speech and our presentation to those around us.

Pastor Steve Kooy continues his series on the Apostle's Creed, focusing this week on the phrase "I believe in Jesus Christ." He discusses why what we believe about Jesus makes all the difference now and in eternity. Jesus took all of our guilt and shame and gives us His righteousness. He accomplished that by living the life we could not live, dying the death we deserved, and rising from the dead. Believing this changes us from sinners to saints, from dead to alive, from fearful to faithful.

In Part 1 of this series, Pastor Lanny showed how the Scriptures authenticate that the eternal Spirit is in fact God the Holy Spirit and not simply a force as many erroneously believe.

Speaking from Hebrews 9:14 and numerous other Scriptures, Pastor Lanny addresses the important question of whether the Holy Spirit is a force, or a person? Is the Holy Spirit truly God? An accurate understanding of the Trinity is under direct attack in this time, and a proper understanding of the person of the Holy Spirit is essential. The eternal Spirit is Omnipresent: God is everywhere. The eternal Spirit is Omniscient: God knows everything. The eternal Spirit is Omnipotent: God is all powerful. The eternal Spirit is rightfully called GOD the HOLY SPIRIT. Presented by Rev.
