Romans 12:1-2 I beseech you therefore,brethren,by the mercies of God,that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God,which is your reasonable service. And do NOT be CONFORMED to this WORLD, but be TRANSFORMED by the RENEWING of your MIND, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Right between soul fatigue and soul restoration lies the battlefield of your faith. In Part 3 of our Psalm 23 Collection, Pastor Travis Hearn delivers a prophetic “bonus track” message that shakes the very foundations of compromise. Rooted in the sacred words of Psalm 23 and the fiery showdown on Mount Carmel, Don't Bow to Baal is a call to holy defiance—a divine interruption between green pastures and soul restoration. This isn't just another sermon. It's a spiritual wake-up call. With piercing conviction and biblical power, Pastor Travis reveals how the enemy strikes hardest when you're most vulnerable—right after the breakthrough, right after the blessing. Baal may no longer be a statue, but its spirit is alive and thriving in our culture. In the pressures of popularity, comfort, and conformity—will you stand, or will you bow? Drawing from Elijah's confrontation with Baal, Jesus' wilderness temptation, and the unwavering fireproof faith of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, this message ignites courage to stand when everyone else bows. It calls you to rebuild your altar, reignite your fire, and renounce every idol fighting for the throne of your heart. The line has been drawn. No more wavering. No more silence. No more compromise. If you don't bow—you won't burn. The fire isn't your end; it's where God reveals Himself. Welcome to the holy resistance. DON'T BOW TO BAAL.

Sr. Pastor A. A. Jackson shared this message live at RACC on 8/3/25.  It is based on Romans 12:1 and Luke 22:31-32.  This message is being included as a sidebar during the deliberation of the four part Warfare and Worship message.  It reveals how God strategically expects us to war against the enemy's attempt to […] The post The Difference Between Self Sabotage and Being a Living Sacrifice appeared first on Realm of Agape Christian Church.

Responsibility of Believers The message is directed towards church members, highlighting their responsibilities. Romans is full of inexhaustible treasure and truth. Beseeching Believers A call to action based on Romans 12:1-2: Present bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God. This is considered a reasonable service. Do not be conformed to the world. Be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Prove what is good, acceptable, and the perfect will of God. Memories and Inspiration A reflection on attending a communion service at Millers Cove and remembering men of God from the past who preached the Word. These men's teachings made a significant difference. Grace and Responsibility Grace is essential for salvation, and nothing can be added to it. Salvation is by grace through faith, a gift from God, not of works. There is a call to heed what the apostle is trying to convey to believers. The Widow's Offering The story of the widow who gave all she had (two mites) is used as an example. Jesus noticed her sacrifice, while others did not. She gave from her poverty, while others gave from their abundance. This illustrates the concept of giving one's all to God daily as a living sacrifice. Living Sacrifice God needs those who are alive, committed, and sold out to Him. The apostle beseeches believers to understand the importance of this concept for their lives and to bring honor to God. These actions enable believers to experience God's work in their lives. Gifts from God Everyone receives a gift from God when they are saved. This gift can be shared with others, even if it's just a testimony. A good testimony from a heart sold out to God can lead others to salvation and hope. God has given everyone work to do. Urgency and Transformation Beseeching involves urging with conviction. Consciously making an effort to offer oneself daily will transform the heart. God can use anything if it is yielded to Him. Example: Balaam's donkey. Holiness and Consecration In the Old Testament, a lamb had to be pure and spotless for sacrifice. Believers should offer themselves to God as a living sacrifice, willing and ready for His use. Offer something holy, clean, and ready for use, not marred by pride or selfishness. Consecrate oneself to God, repent of sin, and offer something He can use. Spiritual Death and Surrender Physical blood is not required as a sacrifice now, but a spiritual death is necessary. Lay down oneself and allow God to be in control. When one relinquishes control, they can present something living, holy, and acceptable to God. Urgency in Preaching Preaching should be urgent and have conviction. The message is not worldly philosophy but transformative truths from the Word of God. Giving oneself to God daily will transform one's living. Mercies of God It is through God's mercies that believers can even be a sacrifice. God can take what individuals have if they repent and become pleasing to Him. Confessing sins leads to forgiveness and cleansing. Even if one feels they have little to offer, God can use them when they are right with Him. "Little is much when God is in it." Overcoming Hesitation Urging listeners to stop hesitating, procrastinating, and holding back from God. God has given something to do, say, or share. The time for holding back is over; start giving oneself to God. Get holy, get right with God, and be acceptable. Allow the Holy Spirit to search and help release what is hindering. Presenting Your Body Presenting one's body to God as a living sacrifice. God already owns believers, having bought them at Calvary. Believers have a free will and a mind, making them unique. Give it up and let God have it. Living Sacrifice vs. Dead Sacrifice A dead sacrifice has no choice,

Is your faith stuck in neutral? In this message from Pastor Jon, we're exploring Romans 12:1–2 and discovering how lasting transformation begins—not with more effort—but with deeper commitment. You'll learn how God's mercy lays the foundation for real change, what it means to be a “living sacrifice,” and how renewing your mind can reshape your entire life.

In this powerful sermon on 'Prayer Shift,' Pastor George Sawyer explores how our prayer life can evolve to be more impactful and connected to God. Using Psalm 22 and the story of Moses, he illustrates the importance of shifting from reactive to proactive prayers. The sermon delves into the theological perspectives of Cessationists and Continuous believers, emphasizing that God's power and gifts are ever-present. The key takeaway is learning to praise God in our darkest moments, trusting that He will respond to our proactive prayers. The sermon also touches on the practical aspects of living a life of worship, both in actions and heart, and encourages believers to deepen their faith through consistent, heartfelt praise.00:00 Introduction to Prayer Shift01:07 The Power of Proactive Prayer05:37 Understanding Cessationism vs. Continuationism08:41 The Importance of Praise in Difficult Times13:53 Choosing Praise Over Circumstance18:12 The Role of Praise in Accessing God's Presence25:34 Gratitude in Adversity26:15 The Power of Praise28:15 A True Story of Faith30:27 Living Sacrifice and True Worship34:31 The Cost of Worship35:04 The Aroma of Worship41:02 Shifting to Praise42:59 God's Judgment and Our Response46:46 The Power of Praise in Battle

Sunday, July 20 2025Romans 12:1-8A Living Sacrifice This section of Romans focuses on how believers, followersof Jesus should live.  Instead of what is true or false, Paul shares what is right and wrong.   Instead of what should we believe?  It is now how we should live.  There is a transition from justification, how to be made right before God, to sanctification, how we become more like Jesus.  The Christian life is to be an act of worship.

Are you living as a true sacrifice for God, or are you simply going through the motions? In his powerful sermon, Pastor Jimmie Hicks Jr. reminds us of the significance of being a "living sacrifice," as outlined in Romans 12:1. He emphasizes that our sacrifices must be holy and acceptable to God, contrasting them with the Old Testament's dead sacrifices. Pastor calls the congregation to examine their lives, urging them to discard personal desires and fully embrace the transformative power of Jesus Christ. His unique perspective illustrates that choosing Jesus is more than just a decision; it's a continual commitment to make choices that glorify God. Pastor challenges us to discover and utilize our spiritual gifts—not just for our benefit, but to serve others and build His kingdom. As he passionately stresses, every Christian must navigate spiritual warfare with discernment, or risk being drawn back into the world's temptations. He calls for urgent action: it's time to choose life over death, to fill ourselves with the Holy Spirit and get involved in church initiatives that make a difference. Are you ready to step into your divine purpose? The time is now!

They discuss the challenges modern Christians face, including the startling statistic that 98% of Christians in America never share their faith outside of their immediate families. They highlight two main problems: the lack of witnessing and the often forgotten role of the Holy Spirit in many churches. Through scriptural examples, particularly from the Book of Acts, they showcase the transformative power of the Holy Spirit and the necessity of full surrender and consecration to experience true spiritual empowerment. They argue that without daily dying to oneself and being filled afresh with the Spirit, believers cannot effectively witness or make disciples. The conversation underscores the critical need for revival and a personal challenge to be a true burnt offering for God's glory.

They go back and forth between light-hearted banter and weighty truths, creating a natural rhythm that feels both grounded and inspiring. They kick things off with a laugh, joking about how hard it can be to start episodes smoothly—before easing into the heart of the conversation. The big focus? The Church's need to make more room for the Holy Spirit—not just in Sunday services, but in everyday life. Jason shares how some churches unintentionally sideline the Spirit, joking about the tendency to worship “God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Bible.” Josh jumps in to remind us that real power—boldness, witness, and transformation—comes from the Holy Spirit. They unpack Acts 1:8, where Jesus tells His followers they'll receive power when the Holy Spirit comes. Josh points out a sobering stat: 98% of American Christians never share their faith outside their family. The answer isn't trying harder—it's surrendering deeper. Josh describes how the disciples went from hiding in fear to boldly preaching the gospel after being filled with the Spirit. He draws from Romans to say the same power that raised Jesus now lives in us—meaning we're equipped for far more than we realize. A key theme in the episode is daily surrender. Josh shares a vivid metaphor: believers “leak,” so we need to keep coming back for a fresh filling. They talk about how true revival starts when we lay ourselves down—day after day—like living sacrifices. They also explore the idea that you can't have Pentecost without Calvary. In other words, the power of the Spirit comes through death to self. Drawing on Old Testament sacrifices, they paint a picture of what it means to live fully surrendered—acknowledging our tendency, like a goat, to crawl off the altar. Community plays a big role here too. Josh emphasizes how we need each other to keep living that surrendered life—through encouragement, accountability, and prayer. Toward the end, they call out how the Western Church often gets caught up in debates and performance, losing sight of the simple, powerful truth: Jesus rose, and His Spirit lives in us. They warn against letting the flesh take the lead again and call for a return to Spirit-led living. The episode wraps with lyrics from a Casting Crowns song that challenge superficial faith and call for genuine heart change. It's a fitting close to a conversation all about real transformation—from the inside out. Jason and Josh finish with a heartfelt prayer, asking for the Spirit's guidance, power, and presence to shape every part of our lives. Bottom line: If you're hungry for deeper discipleship and lasting impact, it all starts with surrender—and the Holy Spirit is ready to lead the way.

The greatest way to understand and know the Lord Jesus is to study His prayer life. In John 17:15-16, Christ is praying for those who are in the strength of life who get discouraged about a matter, and think, "I want out of here. I know I will go to heaven and be with the Lord. I would just like to go on." Our Lord Jesus would not pray for that because we need laborers for the Lord's work. He is praying for God the Father to keep us from the evil so that we can minister to others around us.
