One Bad Accounting

Contributed by Steven Haguewood on Jul 6, 2011

We all make mistakes, even David. Jesus paid the price for our mistakes but still demands a sacrifice of us, our lives must be living sacrifice. And a sacrifice is not a sacrifice if it costs you nothing.

The Nature Of Holiness Series

Contributed by Denn Guptill on Jun 6, 2010

What does it mean to be a sacrifice? How will that affect the way we live?

The nature of Holiness If there is one concept in the bible that seems to be foreign to us in 2016, almost to the point of incomprehensible is the concept of sacrifice. Not the concept of making sacrifices for something or someone, we all do that on a fairly regular basis. As parents we make ...read more

O How The Mite-Y Have Fallen

Contributed by Clair Sauer on Nov 5, 2009

Pursuing God’s will for our lives requires personal sacrifice.

I’m sure that some of you are a little nervous right now that I’m going to talk to you about money and about how you all need to give more to God and to the church. I certainly could do that; the story of the widow’s offering lends itself well to a sermon about tithing and giving to the church. But ...read more

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

The Power Of Sacrificial Giving SermonCentral

Contributed by SermonCentral on Sep 8, 2023

When we give, not just out of our wealth, but as a sacrifice it counts as a credit with God, a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God, that opens up God's riches to meet our needs.

A little girl once planned to give her father a pair of slippers for his birthday. When asked where she would get the money, she confidently replied, "Father will give it to me." Although it may seem strange for a father to buy his own gift, the father appreciated the gesture and the love behind ...read more

In The Shadow Of Bulls & Goats Series

Contributed by Sean Harder on Aug 23, 2012

Before Christ gave up his life as a sacrifice for the sins of the world, there was a system that God put into place through Moses that resembled what was to come in Christ. This system of sacrificing animals and shedding blood was the people’s effort to g

Today we begin a short series on what I believe may be the best chapter of the bible in terms of explaining exactly what Christ has done, because it puts in the historical perspective of why sacrifices were necessary in the first place. You can read more about the old covenant in chapter 9. That ...read more

The High Priest Series

Contributed by Sean Harder on Aug 29, 2012

Today’s message is in some ways going to sound like last week’s in term’s of what our high priest has done. But I also want to make this very practical in terms of what Peter says in 1 Peter chapter 2 about the body of believers being a royal priesthood.

The first thing I want to do is debunk the traditional idea of priests in the Church. In the Catholic tradition there is a basic holding to the tradition of the Old Testament. Priests in the Old Testament were very exclusive, and could only come from the family of Aaron and the tribe of Levi. There ...read more
