Worship As Sacrifice

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 13, 2022

Contributed by John Gaston on Aug 27, 2022

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.

The reason that the sacrifice of Jesus was the greatest ever is because it is the only sacrifice that ever worked. All the animal sacrifices just pointed to the need for blood to be shed and life paid for cleansing from sin.
