Podcasts about Living Sacrifice

Friends, for this Twenty-second Sunday in Ordinary Time, I want to begin with our very brief second reading from Paul to the Romans. It opens, “I urge you, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice.” Here we see Christ's cross and resurrection—the supreme sacrifice fulfilling all the offerings of the temple—extended to all the baptized. The Church is now the place where divinity and humanity are reconciled.

I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. … Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith; if service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching; the one who exhorts, in his exhortation; the one who contributes, in generosity; the one who leads, with zeal; the one who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness. (Romans 12:1-2, 6-8)

Romans 12:1-2"Living Sacrifices"Daniel, Cross-Cultural Outreach Resident

A young man once discovered a stack of old comic books worth millions of dollars while cleaning out what others dismissed as garbage. In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef uses this surprising story to point believers to something infinitely more valuable: the body of every Christian as the temple of the Holy Spirit. Paul warned the Corinthian believers because they were treating their bodies as if they had little spiritual value. But Scripture declares that those who belong to Christ are not their own. The Holy Spirit Himself dwells within them, making their bodies sacred places where the presence of God resides. Dr. Youssef reminds us that our bodies were designed by God for more than biological function. They are meant to serve Him now and for all eternity. One day, believers will receive glorified, resurrected bodies—but even now, what we do with our bodies matters deeply to God. Because our bodies belong to the Lord, we are called to honor Him with our whole being. This devotional challenges every believer to reject sin, obey God's Word, and offer the body as an instrument of worship for the glory of Christ. Prayer: Father, help me to remember that my body is a temple for Your very presence. May my hands and feet bring You honor and praise as I live righteously by Your Spirit. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.  “Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; . . .” (1 Corinthians 6:19). Learn more in Dr. Michael A.

This week on Ministry Minute, we delve into a brand new message entitled “A LIVING Sacrifice.” We dive into Romans 12:1-2, discussing the call to present our bodies as a living sacrifice and to be transformed by renewing our minds. We talk about surrendering every area of our lives to God, denying fleshly desires, and going all in for Jesus, trusting Him to help us overcome struggles and live a holy life. #JesusLovesYou #Sacrifice #MinistryMinuteA LIVING Sacrifice | Ministry Minute EP326Romans 10:9:That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.We all have sinned, we all have made mistakes, but in spite of our imperfections, a perfect God sent His Perfect Son to die for those very imperfect sins, so we can have eternal life. THAT'S REAL LOVE. THAT'S JESUS' LOVE. In order to receive this forgiveness you must confess and repent of your sins and accept Jesus Christ into your heart which you can do by saying this prayer wholeheartedly:Dear God,I confess and admit that I am a sinner, and I ask that You please forgive me and save me. I renounce and repent of all my sins, iniquities, and transgressions, both known and unknown. I confess that Jesus, You are LORD, and I believe with all my heart that You died and rose again. I put my complete faith in Your finished works on the cross and I believe because of Your Blood that was shed, my sins can be forgiven. I ask that You be the Head of my life and the LORD of my life from this day forward, and I ask that You please help me to live for You all the days of my life.In Jesus Name I Pray,Amen.I'm Saved, What's Next:- Be Baptized In Jesus Name- Be Filled With The Holy Ghost- Live A Holy LifeJesus Is Soon To Return— BE READY!!#Christianity #Christian #Jesus #Bible #God #Faith #JesusChrist #Church #love #Bibleverse #Gospel #prayer #HolySpirit #Godisgood #pray #biblestudy #Scripture #hope #truth #religion #JesusLovesYou #worship #grace #JesusSaves #amen #blessed #Christianlivinghttps://www.joshuahopkinsstudios.com/productions/ministryminute

In this episode from Wednesday Prayer, Pastor Joel Sims begins a powerful teaching on walking in the disciplines of Christ. Beginning with Romans 12:1, "...present your bodies as living and holy sacrifices..." Pastor Joel explores the pattern of Old Testament priestly service before leading us to Hebrews, where Jesus is revealed as our Great High Priest. Discover how Christ's finished work calls us to a daily response of worship, surrender, and devotion as we offer our bodies to God as living sacrifices.

What does it mean to be a living sacrifice? What does it look like to have your mind renewed by Christ? What does it look like to be in this world and not of it? Pastor Andrew and Pastor Forrest talk about all this and more as they process Romans 12:1-2. Enjoy!

Today's reflection is by Sister Teka Brown. Holiness is the standard.:

In response to God's extravagant mercy, be a living sacrifice.

A Living Sacrifice- Huebner Romans 12:1-8 Luke 10:38-42

A Living Sacrifice – Nelson Romans 12:1-8 Luke 10:38-42

Paul turns the focus from orthodoxy to orthopraxy in Romans 12, giving a series of imperatives related to spiritual worship. We are commanded to be living sacrifices (rather than dead ones), serving the body of Christ, loving enemies, weeping with mourners and rejoicing with the joyful.

When you hear the word worship, what comes to mind? Maybe you picture standing in church on Sunday morning, singing with your hands raised. Perhaps you think about prayer, reading Scripture, or verbally praising God. All of these are beautiful expressions of worship—but worship was never meant to be confined to a church service. Our entire lives can become an offering to God. This week on The Love Offering Podcast, I’m welcoming Cheryl Marshall back to the show to talk about her new book, All of Me: Pursuing a Life Wholly Devoted to God. Drawing from Romans 12:1–2, Cheryl helps us understand what it means to present ourselves as living sacrifices and worship God with every part of who we are. Our hands, feet, eyes, ears, thoughts, motives, abilities, responsibilities, hopes, and dreams all belong to Him. Whether we are caring for children, helping an aging parent, working at our jobs, serving in our churches, or simply completing the next ordinary task before us, we have an opportunity to honor God. But wholehearted devotion isn’t always easy. Cheryl identifies three things that can divide our devotion: distraction, disobedience, and discouragement. Sometimes our hearts become distracted by busyness or the desire for approval. Sometimes we hold on to a sin or attitude we know God is asking us to surrender. And sometimes discouragement convinces us that our current circumstances—or even our past—make us unable to do anything significant for Him. But Cheryl reminds us that our limitations do not disqualify us from glorifying God. In fact, those very places may become the setting where His strength, mercy, and faithfulness shine most clearly. Our devotion doesn’t begin with guilt, fear, pride, or striving. It begins with remembering God’s mercy. As Cheryl says, “All other motivations other than mercy will fail us.” Because Jesus gave all of Himself for us, we can joyfully offer all of ourselves to Him. If your heart feels distracted, weary, discouraged, or divided today, I hope you’ll listen to this conversation. God is patient with us. He meets us in our weakness, renews our minds through His Word, and gives us the grace to take the next faithful step.

Romans 12: 1-2: Living Sacrifice - Pastor Megan Wood (07/12/2026) by Word of Life Assembly of God

Reader: Bek Hudson Preacher: Chris Varughese In Romans 12, from Paul's teachings, Chris tells us that there are 3 things God is calling us to do to live out God's will together: 1. To be Living Sacrifices; 2. To use the gifts we've been given for service; 3. To live as a community God's way. Red Door is an Anglican Church in Melbourne, Australia. We exist to be a community of people helping people make all of life all about Jesus.

Here is a great message from Pastor Darrell!  Hope you had a wonderful 4th of July.

The Mercies of God Prove His Worthiness; Respond by Offering Your Bodies as a Living Sacrifice to the Lord . . . I. By the Mercies of God, Present Your Bodies as a Living Sacrifice! (1) II. By the Mercies of God, Fight Conformity and Embrace Transformation! (2) III. By the Mercies of God, Discern God's Will for Your Life! (2) Practical Applications o What are 5 things about the mercy of God that make him worthy of praise? o What parts of your life do you struggle sacrificing for the sake of the gospel? o Where do you often impose your will in your life rather than submitting to God's will?

DATE:  Sunday, July 5, 2026 TEXT:  Romans 12:1-2 SPEAKER:  Pastor Marshall Nessa

Numbers 33: No Compromise, No Excuses (Choose Your Hard)Are we walking in the boldness of the Holy Spirit, or are we letting the false gods of this world stick around to become thorns in our sides?In today's message, we look into Numbers 33 to see the direct parallel between Israel's physical journey out of Egyptian bondage and our spiritual journey out of slavery to sin. When God tells us to drive out the enemy, he isn't giving us a suggestion. He's giving a command. If we compromise—even for the people or things we love most—the very things we tolerate will become the tools the enemy uses to harass us. It's time to stop playing the name game, start standing flat-footed on the Word of God, and choose your hard.Episode Chapters:0:00 — Introduction: Israel's Journey from Bondage0:37 — Walking in Boldness (Numbers 33:3 & Acts 1:8)2:01 — The Choice of True Love vs. Witchcraft & Control3:36 — The 40-Year Delusion: Stop Chipping Away at Your Time5:27 — Drive Them Out: The Command to Destroy the Idols6:24 — Thorns in Your Side: The Spirit of Lunacy and Destructive Compromise8:36 — Put the Flesh to Death: Moving by Belief, Not Feelings9:40 — "MOREOVER" (Numbers 33:56) & The Trap of Family Compromise10:52 — Becoming a New Creation (2 Corinthians 5:17) & God Outside of Time12:17 — Pulling Down Strongholds & The Danger of "Another Jesus"14:18 — Living Sacrifices & Metamorphosis (Romans 12:1-2)14:55 — Choose Your Hard: Stand Strong for the Things of God16:06 — The Broadcasted Seed: Isaiah 55 & The Living Word17:05 — The 13-Year-Old & The Christian Carpenter: A Word That Never Leaves19:17 — Climbing Over the Word to Go to Hell19:50 — Coach for Christ Outro & Book Announcement: "Run At Them"Key Takeaways From This Message:Boldness Over Bondage: Israel walked out of slavery with boldness in the sight of their captors. True boldness comes from the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:8), not your flesh.The 40-Year Delusion: Aaron served for 40 years, but you aren't guaranteed tomorrow. Stop thinking you can repent at the buzzer.The Trap of Compromise: What you let remain in your life will become irritants in your eyes and thorns in your side. We see the consequences of tolerated lunacy today.The Power of the Living Word: The Word of God is alive and spirit (John 6:63). A seed planted in a child's life doesn't return void.

12 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. - Romans 12:1-2 NIV

Pastor Bob La Tour challenges complacent living with these instructions from the Apostle Paul's letter to the Romans.

A Living Sacrifice… (Rom 12:1-2, John 13:1-17) Chris Weniger

06.14.26 Calvary Chapel Santa Maria

I. The design of a priest's ministry is to enable others to dedicate themselves to God with thanksgiving for what God has done for them, vv14-15. II. The daily bread of a priest's ministry is provided for by God out of the gifts of the people of God, vv16-18. III. The demand of a priest's ministry is that he daily dedicate himself to God just as the people of God dedicate themselves to God, vv19-23. IV. The danger of a priest's ministry is that he become joyless and thankless in his service of God and the people of God, vv19-23.

What is a living sacrifice? As we strive to draw closer to God and serve our church community, Tim unpacks the compelling call of Romans 12 to surrender everything to Jesus.

Sermon from 06-14-2026

Bob Schwahn | Lead Pastor | June 14, 2026 Referenced Scripture: Romans 1:16-17, Romans 12:1-2 Reflection Questions:1. Where in your spiritual life have you struggled to see the change you have wanted to see? What has made that change difficult for you? What area of your life do you find yourself regularly disobeying God? Read Romans 12:1-22. “Therefore”What is the “therefore” there for? What is Paul referring back to at the beginning of chapter 12? 3. “In view of God's mercy”Why would reflecting on the grace and the mercy of God provide motivation and a catalyst to desire change in your life or obey God? Have you ever obeyed out of fear rather than gratitude? What is the challenge/problem of letting fear be the motivation to surrender your life to God? 4. Take a few minutes to reflect on the cross of Jesus and on how you have seen the grace and mercy of God in your life. Share some of the ways you have seen God's mercy. Take a few minutes to thank God in prayer for what He has done. 5. What does it mean to “offer your body as a living sacrifice”? What are examples of how you have done this or should be doing this? Are there any areas of your life that you are holding back from God? Explain. What makes these areas of your life difficult to surrender to God? 6. “True and proper” is literally translated “logical” (greek: logicon)Why is surrender to God the only “logical” response to the good news of the gospel? 7. “Do not conform to the pattern of this world”What does it mean to conform to the pattern of this world?What assumptions do I hold that come more from culture than Scripture? How does the world think differently than God in the areas of success, happiness, identity, sexuality, money, or power? 8. Where am I adopting cultural values instead of biblical values? Where do I need to renew my thinking? 9. Why do you think that transformation begins first in the renewing of our mind? 10. What content fills my mind? What voices are the loudest in my mind? Does it move me toward Christ or away from Him? Explain… 11. What practices are helpful to you to renew your mind and have God's perspective over the perspective of this world? Where do you need to grow in renewing your mind? How will you do this? What's your next step? * Connect: We'd love to connect with you!

Christians wonder what they are supposed to do. There are many different answers. Romans 12:1 says to offer our bodies. That's the believer's act of worship, which is any move we make in dependence on Jesus.

Khwezi shares about the difference between pillars and altars, and reminds us to be living sacrifices daily.

Mark 9: 49-50

This week, Pastor Ulysses continues our series through the book of Romans with a message from chapter 13. In this passage, Paul addresses the Christian's relationship to governing authorities and reminds us that God remains sovereign over every earthly power. As we explore these sometimes challenging verses, we're encouraged to consider what faithful citizenship and faithful discipleship look like in an unbelieving world.
