    Most students come to college because they believe somehow it will help them to gain the life they are hoping for. But what exactly is the life we really want? And how do we get it? The culture has lots of ideas and assumptions about this, most of which are dead ends. But Jesus says that he has come that we might have life and have it in abundance (John 10:10)

    How do Living Sacrifices Spend Money?

    Play Episode Listen Later Feb 9, 2018


    Living sacrifices means we need transformed and renewed minds about money. Who’s money is it? Living sacrifices have no claim on their money - we’re dead to our own claims! So what’s it look like to live as if (1) every penny of “yours” was God’s, and (2) everything God calls you to, He promises to also provide for?

    We’re talking about living sacrifices. And how living sacrificed to Jesus flies in the face of so many of our cultural assumptions, doesn’t it? So here’s another tender spot: Where do living sacrifices live?

    Living Sacrifices

    Play Episode Listen Later Jan 12, 2018


    “…offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God. This is your spiritual act of worship.” The right response to the mercy of God is doing what Jesus did: laying down His life for the cause of God. Offering ourselves as sacrifices that are still alive, in service to the God who made us, rescued us, and now wants to lead us in joining the rescue movement. But this is counter-cultural. Nothing about American society will teach you to do this. American culture says, “You’re #1. Your safety, your comfort, your fun, and your future are the most important thing for you to build your life on, and should be the #1 factor in decisions you make in life.” But verse 2 says, “Do NOT be conformed to the patter of this world [the culture that you’re in], but be transformed by the renewing of your mind [let God change your mind to what HE says is important].” And how many of you want to know what God’s will is for your life? THIS is how. “Then [only when you have crawled up on the altar, said, ‘Jesus, I am yours. This life isn’t even mine anymore. What would you have me do?’] can we “know the God’s will - His good, pleasing, and perfect will for our lives.” Have you experienced God’s mercy? In light of His goodness to you, offer yourself to Him as a sacrifice that’s still alive - 100% available to His call, at whatever cost to yourself. Let Him change your mind from a “me-first” culture, to a “Jesus-obedience-first” culture of His kingdom, of Him as King. Then you’ll know what God wants you to do with your life.

    God reveals Himself in the entire Bible - His “I AM” answer to Moses is “I’m not like other gods - let me show you!”  And the whole of Scripture is God’s demonstration.  But many people see the Bible as the story of a bipolar God - wrath and law in the OT, grace in the NT.  But it has always been grace.

    Exodus 20:4-5, Ezekiel 14:3, Hosea 14:1-3, Romans 1:24,25, I John 5:21 We think of idolatry as something of another age or of primitive cultures. Certainly we moderns are beyond such archaic notions. But our hearts can turn anything into an idol when we treat something else as an ultimate end, other than God. But our counterfeit gods ultimately enslave us and cannot deliver what they promise. The message and work of Christ is to rescue us from our idols and to bring us back to a place of love and trust and obedience to the only true God who loves us deeply and alone can give us what we really want–what we really need.

    I get the Christian worldview, but what if it doesn’t match my experience? This sermon is a place to recognize that everyone’s story with sex is messed up. So if you have had sex outside of marriage, have gotten pregnant, have had an abortion, are addicted to pornography, are same-sex attracted, are deeply discontent being single and celibate, or any other manner of sexual brokenness...Jesus’ community is for you. Offer the hope and healing and forgiveness of Christ for our sexual brokenness and regret.

    A missionary knows that the only hope for change in the people they’re reaching out to around them is by the power of God. Prayer is the language of dependence. Missionaries pray because they know they can’t change people. Praying like a missionary often means praying for a long time, faithfully, being a steadfast pray-er. Praying like a missionary also means praying radically! Being risky in your prayers – praying for healing in front of the people you’re reaching, sharing visions for their life with them, praying boldly for the people you’re trying to reach.
