    Holy and Unholy: Teaching Discernment

    Sermon Recap “Holy and Unholy: Teaching Discernment” Ezekiel 44:23 This Sunday, Pastor David L. Sincere Jr. delivered a powerful and timely message titled, “Holy and Unholy: Teaching Discernment,” rooted in Ezekiel 44:23: “They shall teach my people the difference between the holy and the common, and show them how to distinguish between the unclean and the clean.” The message centered on the holiness of God and the spiritual responsibility of God’s people to develop discernment in a culture where sacred distinctions are becoming blurred. Pastor Sincere explained that God is holy by His very nature. The Greek word hagios means “set apart.” God is pure, righteous, sacred, eternal, glorious, and completely separate from evil. Revelation 4:8 reminds us that even the angels continually cry, “Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty.” The sermon emphasized that humanity does not become holy through personal effort, status, or works. We become holy only through God’s presence and through being set apart by Him. Holiness is ultimately about belonging to God. Pastor Sincere taught that Israel became spiritually desensitized. The people lost their ability to discern between: • Holy and unholy • Sacred and common • Clean and unclean This spiritual decline began with leadership. Ezekiel 22:26 reveals that the priests failed to maintain distinction between what was holy and what was common. As a result, the nation became morally bankrupt and eventually went into Babylonian captivity. The sermon explained that “common” does not necessarily mean sinful. Common refers to what is ordinary or unconsecrated. However, the danger occurs when holy things are treated casually or reduced to the level of the ordinary. Pastor Sincere also taught that “unclean” refers to that which is spiritually defiled, while “clean” refers to what is accepted before God. The people of God are called to spiritual discernment, purity, and consecration. The message challenged believers to consider what should remain holy in their lives: • Their minds • Their time • Their bodies • Their worship • Their possessions • Their relationship with God Romans 12:1–2 reminded the church to present their bodies as living sacrifices, holy and acceptable unto God, and not to be conformed to the patterns of this world. The sermon concluded with 1 Peter 2:9, reminding believers that they are: “A chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation…” Pastor Sincere encouraged the church to reclaim spiritual discernment, maintain reverence for holy things, and live as people who are truly set apart for God in a culture that increasingly treats everything as common.

    Matthew 28:16–20 — “They Worshipped… But Some Doubted”

    Matthew 28:16–20 — “They Worshipped… But Some Doubted” This passage takes place after the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The eleven disciples go to Galilee, to the mountain Jesus appointed. This is not случай—this is divine appointment and obedience. Even in their uncertainty, they showed up. Verse 17 is the tension point: “When they saw Him, they worshipped Him—but some doubted.” The word for worshipped is proskuneō—it means to bow down, to reverence, to submit. This is not casual acknowledgment. This is recognition of Jesus’ divine authority. They are responding to the resurrected Christ. But at the same time, some doubted. The Greek word used is distazō—it does not mean outright unbelief, but hesitation, wavering, uncertainty. It’s the picture of being pulled in two directions internally. So here is the exegetical reality: They are physically present with Jesus… They are acknowledging Him as Lord… Yet internally, some are still wrestling. This reveals something critical: Faith and doubt can coexist in the same moment. The text does not rebuke them. Instead, in verse 18, Jesus moves toward them and declares: “All authority (exousia) in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.” He doesn’t address their doubt first—He establishes His authority. Then He gives the Great Commission: “Go therefore and make disciples (mathēteuō)… teaching (didaskō) them…” Here’s the theological weight: Jesus commissions worshippers who are still working through doubt. He does not wait for perfect faith. He calls them while they are still growing. And then He closes with a promise: “I am with you always…” So the structure of the text shows: Presence → Worship → Tension (doubt) → Authority → Commission → Promise The takeaway: You don’t have to have it all figured out to follow Jesus. You can worship Him and still be processing. What matters is that you respond, submit, and continue in obedience. God is able.
