Sermons on Jesus Changes Lives:

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

Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 8, 2026

Live faithfully between prayer and promise—trust God’s future, obey His present reign, and rest in hope until Christ returns.

Most of our lives are not lived at the beginning of a story or at the end of one. They are lived somewhere in the middle — in that long, unfinished stretch where things are still forming, still unresolved, still waiting to make sense. We live between what has already been spoken and what has not ...read more

Living A God-Centered Life Series

Contributed by David Owens on Oct 18, 2021

Living Life In The Face Of Death

Contributed by Nathan Eyland on Jan 23, 2005

A look at life in the face of inevitable death.

While preparing for this sermon I read a number of sermons by some older preachers.

There Is Now No Condemnation For Those Who Are In Christ Jesus.

Contributed by Barnabas Park on Jan 23, 2026

Many Christians live their daily lives believing in forgiveness but still feeling condemned in their hearts. In Romans 8:1–4, Paul declares a truth so powerful that it frees believers not only from sin’s penalty, but also from the burden of living under constant guilt.

“Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” Romans 8:1–4 1 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death. 3 For God has done what the ...read more
