What does it mean for us to be united in Christ? Especially as a corporate church body? Christ breaks down the barrier that separates us, no matter if the division is race, gender, wealth, power, or religion.
Ephesians 2,1:3-7,1:11
Romans 9:4-5

As we study Mark's description of the cross we realize that for centuries the Holy God, for our own safety, said "Stay Back"... now, through the cross, He says "Come Near"!
Sermon discussion topics for parents to use with their children:
- How many ways did God say "Stay Back" in the Old Testament?
- Why did He say this?
- What was the significance of the curtain in the temple?
- What is the significance that the curtain was torn in two on the day Jesus was crucified?
- Why is God able to say "Come Near" now?

God is holy... separate and above us. He is to be treated as special... with deep reverence, worshipful respect, even fear. How does that work our in our lives personally and as a church? These practical applications of the holiness of God will be our focus.
Sermon discussion questions for parents to use with their children:
- What does the Bible mean when it refers to God as both severe and good?
- How did God reveal to us that He should be treated as special?
- Why is this not God being egotistical but is right and good?
- What are ways in which people today disrespect God?
- How do we disrespect God?
- What is our hope of being welcomed by this God whom we have no right to approach on our own?

The Holiness of God is such an important doctrine and reality to understand. It will help us all appreciate God's specialness and majesty as well as how wonderful it is that He has provided a way for mere creatures to come to Him and be adopted by Him.
Sermon discussion questions for parents to use with their children:
- Why is it so important to understand God's Holiness?
- What significance is the fact that the basic idea of holiness is to separate?
- Why is God's holiness also understood as God's specialness and His aboveness?
- How did God teach these things to Moses and the people of Israel at the burning bush, at Mt. Sinai and when Moses saw God pass by?
- What are the implications of all of this for us?
- What will it be like to see God for the believer?
- For the unbeliever?
- For you?
