The Bethany Bullet Sermon Message - Week of August 20, 2017

Sermon: “What Kind of Sacrifice is Alive?”

Text: Romans 11:33-12:8

In the 12th chapter of his letter to the Romans, Paul calls us to "Offer ourselves as living sacrifices to God; in view of His mercy."

This offering does not remove sin's guilt from us nor move God toward us.  Through the sacrifice He offered, in the Lamb of God – that has already been accomplished.

Yet, such an offering does move us toward Him and away from sin.  In Christ we have become priests, rather than offer the life of another creature however we offer our living selves.  In so doing, worship becomes constant and a lived out doxology to Him who from, through and to ALL things belong.
