A Cleansed Conscience
In this powerful message, Pastor Will dives into the profound concept of having a clean conscience before God. The central theme revolves around Hebrews 9, particularly verse 14, which speaks of Christ's blood purifying our consciences from dead works. We're reminded that God's ultimate goal isn't just outward cleanliness, but inward transformation. The Old Testament rituals and sacrifices are contrasted with Christ's perfect sacrifice, highlighting how Jesus' blood doesn't just cover sin temporarily, but cleanses us completely. Pastor Will challenges us to move beyond mere rule-following and embrace a genuine, heart-level relationship with God. We're encouraged to reflect on how often we might focus on external actions while neglecting our inner spiritual state. The beautiful truth is that through Christ, we can experience freedom from guilt and shame, allowing us to serve the living God with pure hearts and minds.
