Thanks-Living Pt 1

Contributed by Chris Mccall on Nov 21, 2012

A living sacrifice is different from all other sacrifice. A regular sacrifice would require something to die. Paul is appealing to us to offer this sacrifice that would continue to be very much alive, but surrendered or dedicated to the service of God.

We find the Apostle Paul appealing to all those who have experienced the mercy, love, & goodness of God. It is kind of like the “give-back program” because of all that has been done already for us. I want us to consider, during this holiday season of Thanksgiving, the idea Paul is ...read more

Holy, Holy, Holy Series

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Jan 11, 2015

God is separate from all that is sinful; He is the perfect measure of goodness. He is holiness itself--the source and standard of moral absolutes. Do we have a sense of God's holiness?

Everything begins with God. He is at the center of our faith. Yet we don’t get out of bed each morning and mindlessly repeat “I believe” three times. We need to ask ourselves: “In whom do I believe?” We were made to know God. Do we? I’m not talking about ...read more
