In this six-week sermon series, we delve into the profound theme of holiness. As followers of Christ, we are called to be set apart, to embody a holiness that reflects the character of God Himself. Holiness is not merely a set of rules or behaviors to adhere to; it is a transformative journey that leads us into a deeper relationship with God and shapes every aspect of our lives. Throughout this series, we will explore various aspects of holiness. As we journey through these messages, we will be challenged to examine our own lives and align them with God's call to holiness. It's a call that demands more than mere conformity to religious norms; it requires a heart transformation that flows from a deep love for God and a desire to reflect His glory to the world around us.

Many wish they could write a letter and mail it to their younger self? It might say, "don't eat the lunch in the school cafeteria," or "say yes to that date in 1995", or "2020 is going to be crazy, but there is going to be life on the other side of it." Instead of writing a letter to our past self, why not write a letter today as if we are in the future; specifically one year from now.
