What does God hate—and why does it matter today?

In this powerful and clarifying message, Dr. John Carmichael launches a new teaching series with a question that often makes believers uneasy: What does God hate—and why does it matter today?

Rooted in Proverbs 6:16–19, this episode reframes “God’s hatred” not as anger or condemnation, but as relational, covenantal love. God does not hate arbitrarily—He opposes whatever threatens truth, unity, spiritual sensitivity, and life with Him. This is a message especially vital for Spirit-filled believers who desire not just gifting, but sustained intimacy with the Holy Spirit.

Dr. Carmichael explores how sin dulls spiritual sensitivity, how the Holy Spirit can be grieved or quenched, and why holiness is not about shame but protecting the presence of God among His people. Drawing from passages in John, Ephesians, Acts, Corinthians, and James, this teaching shows that what God hates, the Spirit longs to heal—and that revival is sustained by aligned hearts, not just powerful moments.

This episode sets the tone for the entire series: heart examination without condemnation, repentance as restoration, and unity as spiritual infrastructure. It is a call to guard relationships, reject division, and pursue purity—not to earn God’s love, but to make room for His dwelling.

Sermon in a sentence:
What God hates, He wants to remove—so He can release what He loves.
