Living Sacrifices

Contributed by Tammy Garrison on Jul 17, 2002

This is the 6th sermon in a series on Paul’s letter to the Romans. The problem with living sacrifices is they keep getting down off the altar.

“living sacrifices” Now that’s an interesting turn of phrase. It sounds like an oxymoron. Living and sacrifice don’t really seem like they go together, do they? When I think of the word ‘sacrifice’, certain images come to mind. I think of a play made in baseball, where one player is tagged out ...read more

Living With Purpose

Contributed by Benjamin Sharpe on Aug 16, 2002

God has a specific goal and purpose for his Church and for each individual Christian. Satan’s intention is to cause the Church and the individual Christian to deviate from that destiny and, in so doing, to thwart the will and design of God.

And that goal, that destiny, was to go to the cross as the atoning sacrifice for humanity. Satan’s intent in the wilderness was to defeat God’s purpose for ...read more
