The Lord's Favor: A Holy Reset (North OC)

In this third sermon of the 'The Lord's Favor' series, Marcel delivers a message of insight and hope. Based on principles from the Jubilee and the fulfillment found in Jesus, the sermon emphasizes a 'holy reset.' Marcel differentiates between the pursuit of happiness and the pursuit of holiness, urging listeners to prioritize and actively pursue holiness as God is holy and has made them holy through Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Practical steps for the week include daily prayers for holiness and choosing one area in life to intentionally pursue holiness. The sermon concludes with communion, reflecting on the holiness bestowed through Jesus' sacrifice.00:00 Introduction to the Season of the Lord's Favor00:26 Upcoming Events and Activities00:54 Theme Scripture: Luke 4:18-1901:52 Prayer and Worship02:42 Constitution Day and the Pursuit of Happiness05:45 Jesus' Call to Pursue Holiness06:27 Understanding Holiness09:41 The Sermon on the Mount: A Reset Sermon12:16 God's Holiness and Our Transformation16:47 Understanding Our Holiness17:38 The Choice Between Happiness and Holiness18:19 Self-Centered Happiness vs. God-Centered Holiness21:28 Marriage and Family as Pathways to Holiness23:27 Pursuing Holiness in Everyday Life29:51 Practical Steps for a Holy Reset30:55 Communion and Final PrayerClick here to donate to the programClick here for more sermonsOC Church of Christ
