Filthy To Forgiven | 10.4.26 | Dr. David Pitkins
Dr. David Pitkins breaks down Zechariah 3 and exposes the spiritual reality of accusation and divine redemption. Through the story of Joshua the High Priest, we learn that regardless of our past or shortcomings, God takes away our dirty rags and clothes us in fine, clean garments through Jesus Christ.

The Old Testament Priest: The significance of the Day of Atonement, the Holy of Holies, and the High Priest's garments.

Clean Garments & Grace: How God's mercy replaces our guilt with righteousness.Prophetic Fulfillment: The Servant, The Branch, and the Stone with Seven Eyes.
In this message on Zechariah chapter 2, we explore our human tendency to build "walls" of control, safety, and self-reliance. While it is natural to seek comfort and security in a dangerous world, man-made walls ultimately limit what God can do in our lives and can even keep us captive to false security.
Through the prophet Zechariah, God reveals a powerful vision of Jerusalem—a kingdom inhabited without physical walls, protected instead by a "wall of fire" and filled with His glory. Discover how this Old Testament vision foreshadows the Gospel, the new covenant in Jesus Christ, and the ultimate promise of God's presence and protection in our daily lives.
