Pastor James Harasimowicz of The Point Church examines the holiness of God as both His divine nature and His transforming work within believers. Pastor James emphasizes that holiness is not achieved through effort but through surrender, intimacy, and obedience to God’s Word. Using scripture and real-life testimonies, he highlights the creative and spiritual power of our words, showing how speech aligned with God’s truth can shape reality, reflect His character, and release life. Worship, he teaches, is both declaration and posture—an expression of holiness that draws believers into God’s presence and displays His glory to the world. Scripture References from NIV
