About This Book

A collection of parochial sermons that examines sanctification through scriptural and Anglican evangelical lenses, distinguishing four senses—separation unto God, legal cleansing, personal holiness, and the vindication of God’s holiness—and explaining how forgiveness, Christ’s atoning blood, and the Spirit enable progress in Christian holiness. It addresses practical concerns such as consecration, prayer, the infection of human nature, grace, and ongoing spiritual growth, and includes expositional notes on key New Testament passages to clarify doctrinal points. The treatment is pastoral and practical, aiming to guide believers in what Scripture promises and how faith and grace relate to personal sanctification.
