The outworking of changed relationships.

A). WHOLE LIFE WORSHIP. Romans 12:1-2. “I beseech you therefore, brethren” (Romans 12:1) begins the application of Paul’s letter to the Romans.

A Sacrifice Should Cost

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 5, 2022

Sometimes we feel that life is spinning out of control. In order to receive a spiritual breakthrough we might have to make a sacrifice, and a sacrifice must cost us something; for we can’t cheat the Lord and expect Him to bless us for it.

Our message this evening is entitled, “A Sacrifice Should Cost.” A “sacrifice” is defined as “an offering made to God . . . as an acknowledgement of His power and provision.” It’s also defined as “surrender or loss made or incurred for gaining some object, or for obliging another.”(1) Based on ...read more

Mercy Instead Of Sacrifice

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 11, 2022

The Pharisees criticized Jesus for eating with tax collectors. They thought they were better than Matthew, as they went around acting holy. Outward show doesn’t determine a person’s relationship with God. It's about the heart.

This morning I am going to touch on the subject of “hypocrisy.” It’s difficult to preach on this subject matter because none of us are without some form of hypocrisy in our life. Jesus told us not to point out the splinter in our brother’s eye until we have removed the log in our own eye (Matthew ...read more

Rebuilding The Altar Of Sacrifice

Contributed by Paul Robinson on May 17, 2023

How do we as Christians become "acceptable sacrifices" to God?

Sacrifice is a word we don’t like. To sacrifice our time, money, our very lives, is a hard thing. But it is important. There are troops overseas right now who are sacrificing themselves; many have already given their lives. Many Christians have set aside the altar of sacrifice and replaced it ...read more

The Sacrifices (Leviticus 22)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Oct 23, 2024

How did the sacrifices foreshadow Jesus and us? Let's look at Leviticus 22.

Did the Old Testament sacrifices, and the demands on those who performed them, foreshadow a much more perfect sacrifice? How are we also to be living sacrifices? Let’s look at Leviticus 22. Was the person offering the sacrifices to be healthy? The Lord told Moses to say to Aaron and his sons: I ...read more

Sermon On Self-Sacrifice

Contributed by William Meakin on Mar 13, 2024

Self-Sacrifice is defined as the relinquishment of one’s own interests or wishes in order to help others or advance a cause.

John Burroughs, an American naturalist and essayist once remarked: “For anything worth having one must pay the price; and the price is always work, patience, love, self-sacrifice – no paper currency, no promises to pay, but the gold of real service.” Romans 12:1-2 confirms: “I appeal to you ...read more

The Sacrifices We Make Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Dec 16, 2023

Joseph sacrificed a lot because Jesus was in his life, and he never complained. Are we called to make sacrifices when we follow Jesus, and what kind of sacrifices could we make?

There was a Christmas play where a little boy desperately wanted to be Joseph. But when the parts were handed out, his biggest rival was given that part, and he was assigned to be the inn keeper instead. He was really bitter about this. So, during all the rehearsals he kept plotting in his mind ...read more

Is Serving God A Sacrifice? Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Jul 6, 2025

“Sacrifice” for God is appropriate only when driven by joy. God must always remain the benefactor when we serve.

Review “Seeking” is the effort we put forth to fulfill longing and desire for God. And for seeking to work, God, rather than something else, must be the object of the desire and seeking, and the seeking must be earnest. Such earnestness comes in large measure from emotion – both negative and ...read more

Restoration Through Sacrifice Series

Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jul 8, 2025

David’s story in 2 Samuel 24 reminds us that sacrifice is the key to spiritual recovery. Restoration is not accidental—it flows from obedience, humility, and surrender at the altar.
