The Unwanted God: Grace for Grimy Hands

Name: The Unwanted God: Grace for Grimy Hands
Uploaded: 2026-01-19T01:09:48.000Z
Duration: 31 min 10 s
Description: Israel's half-hearted worship left every work of their hands; including their sacrifices; unclean, and no amount of ritual or effort could reverse that contamination; only when God himself draws near in Christ, the one whose holiness spreads outward instead of sin's uncleanness, can grimy, sinful people be made clean.
