Worship As Sacrifice

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 13, 2022

The word "worship" means ascribing worth to God. In America, worship doesn’t cost us much; and so, we have basically forgotten God's real worth. But, according to the Scripture, worship involves sacrifice, which is very costly.

Tonight we are going to come to a better understanding of what it means to worship the Lord. To begin, we must understand what the word “worship” means. The word worship is derived from an Anglo-Saxon word, which is actually a combination of the two words “worth” and “ship.” The term “ship” ...read more

Extravagant Sacrifice

Contributed by John Gaston on Aug 27, 2022

“Extravagant” means: “strange, curious; exceeding the limits of reason or necessity; unreasonably high in price.” We look at Jesus’ extravagant sacrifice for us, His call for us to make the same sacrifice, & that souls are worth that sacrifice.

Sacrifices To God Series

Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Feb 21, 2020

Offerings follow the character of the worshipper. God looks not into the hands of a man but the heart of a man. We can't satisfy God by our mere offerings but by the broken heart and humble spirit. God is after a man or woman who is living with love and devotion to God and fellow human.
