We find ourselves in the season of Epiphany, a time of discovery and insight. Throughout this liturgical season we are invited to allow the light of Christ to illumine our hearts and minds as we grow in faith and come to know Jesus more personally. These devotionals looks at six different “epiphanies” from my personal journey of faith. Through scripture, quotes, and our life of worship, we will explore each "epiphany" from a number of different angles.
"Sanctification" literally means "the process of becoming holy". The beautiful truth of our faith is that our sanctification takes place as a result of God's gracious action. It is not our job to become more holy, rather in light of and in response to all that God has done for us we become more holy. The goodness of God molds us into the people we are called to be.
What is Sanctification?
Reflect on this quote today: God loves you exactly the way you are AND God loves you way too much to let you stay that way. How does this Truth cause you to look at your life differently?
Where do we see Sanctification in Worship?
Every Sunday our worship ends with the following call and response: Go in peace, and serve the Lord. Thanks be to God. This ending reminds that God's peace in our lives allows us to serve God's mission in the world with a grateful heart.
