That they may know that I am the Lord that sanctifies you

As we near the start of another yearly holy day cycle, most of us have been through this cycle many times. But we must not take the upcoming Passover as routine as we prepare for it. In this sermon Mr. Smith shows us that it is God that sanctifies us and he has planned for our salvation as we can see from the events in Genesis 15, 22 and Exodus 12 that pictured the ultimate sacrifice for sin when God the father gave his son for the payment for our sins.

Gary Smith was born in Charlotte, North Carolina, but spent most of his youth in the Pasadena, California area. He graduated from Ambassador College in 1976 and he and his wife, Liz, moved to Peoria, Illinois. For the next six years he worked as a nursing home administrator in Illinois, Ohio, and Texas.
In 1982, he and Liz began to serve in the full-time ministry. Since that time, they have served in a number of congregations in the Midwest.
Gary and Liz now pastor in Houston, Texas near their two children and grandson.
Apart from pastoring, Gary enjoys hiking, playing and watching sports, reading and spending time with family.
