Delighting in a Holy God

Summary

The sermon explores the concept of God's holiness, focusing on understanding its deeper meaning beyond a superficial definition of purity. Drawing from Psalm 99, the discussion examines holiness as a state of being "separated from what is common" and emphasizes that God is the ultimate standard of goodness, with no external reference point for his character. The practical takeaway is an invitation for believers to develop a more profound appreciation of God's holiness by recognizing his absolute, self-defining nature and unique position as the source of all righteousness.
