Making Sacrifices

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jan 27, 2007

Be willing to make sacrifices for God and be blessed. When we give of ourselves, God’s will can be fulfilled. Ask, what does God expects from us today?

We tend to position ourselves on the receiving end, and ask God for His blessings. • Surely He loves us and we know He will bless us and help us through life. • We need also to see ourselves on the ‘giving’ end, and offer to God what He expects from us.

The Strength Of Sacrifice Series

Contributed by David Owens on Oct 16, 2006

As we try to put ourselves into a position to be able to share the gospel with others, there are few things that will get their attention more than self-sacrifice.

A. Self-sacrifice. A word we are not too familiar with, right? 1. Certainly, we understand its meaning. It is not too hard to define, but it is hard to embrace and embody. Wouldn’t you agree? 2.

Sacrifice Of The Father

Contributed by John Raulerson on Sep 28, 2006

Although some my consider salvation free, it came at a high personal sacrifice to the Father.

THE PERSONAL SACRIFICE OF THE FATHER 3/05 John 3:16 I hear many times and even have said it myself that “Salvation is free, ” but I am concerned this statement can be a little misleading.

Dare To Sacrifice Series

Contributed by David Dewitt on Jun 22, 2010

If we are going to recapture our spirit of adventure for God, we must be willing to sacrifice for the Kingdom of Christ

An Unusual Sacrifice Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on May 5, 2010

Leviticus is probably the most "boring" book of the Bible (even Jesus doesn’t quote from it), but in it’s pages are some of the powerful stories of forgiveness you’ll read.

(This is the 2nd in a series dedicated to the most boring Scriptures in the Bible. At least… the things many people regard as boring) For some people, there’s nothing more boring than the tedious, almost unending regulations that God gave His people in Leviticus. In fact, when most people attempt ...read more

Sacrificer Or Survivor?

Contributed by Leonard Davis on Jul 21, 2009

The greatest contributions to the world are made by the greatest sacrificers.

SACRIFICER OR SURVIVOR? Life has many “ups” and “downs.” We would rather have the “up” experiences rather than those that can be described as “downers.” Sometimes we think of the “up” times as successes and the “down” times as failures.

The Living Sacrifice Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on May 4, 2009

Are you being impressed upon by the outside, or motivated by an inward change in character? That’s at the heart of these first very important verses of Romans 12.

God’s mercy leads us to give ourselves willingly into His hands as a sacrifice to be used in God’s service. This happens by a two step process: stopping the process of conformation to the world, and encouraging the process of transformation into someone who thinks like God. As we move forward we ...read more
