Podcasts about Living Sacrifice

Class 3 from this series was used in GCT Episode 409.

When I think of surrendering my life to God, I think of Carrie Underwood's song, “Jesus Take The Wheel”. I imagine myself letting go of the steering wheel of my life, and trusting in Him to steer me through the trials I face. But life isn't a highway, and giving the Lord control over everything is a lot more complicated than just letting go of the steering wheel. In today's message, Pastor Jeff is going to teach us about what it means to truly surrender to the Holy Spirit and let Him control every aspect of our lives.

The sermon expounds on Romans chapter 12, urging believers to present themselves as living sacrifices and resist conformity to the world through the renewal of their minds. It emphasizes the proper use of spiritual gifts within the body of Christ, highlighting humility, genuine love without hypocrisy, and a deep abhorrence for evil. The message stresses the importance of unity, patience in tribulation, constant prayer, and extending hospitality and blessings even to persecutors. Ultimately, it calls for overcoming evil with good by trusting God's justice rather than seeking personal vengeance, relying entirely on Christ's power for daily faithful service.

Worship? I Don't Get It | The Worship the Father Is Seeking (John 4:23–24)What if everything you thought worship was... wasn't?When Jesus met the Samaritan woman at the well, He revealed one of the most profound truths in Scripture: "The Father is seeking those who will worship Him in spirit and in truth."

Through biblical teaching, practical discipleship, and real-life illustrations, you'll discover why God is not merely looking for songs—He is seeking surrendered hearts.In this worship experience, you'll explore:• What true worship really is. • What it means to worship in spirit and in truth. • Why God is still seeking true worshippers today. • How Jesus redefined worship through the Samaritan woman. • Living as a living sacrifice before God. • Following Christ in everyday obedience. • Walking with the Holy Spirit. • Growing in Christian discipleship and spiritual maturity. • Entering the presence of God through a surrendered life. • Responding to God's call with your whole heart.This message is ideal for personal devotion, Bible study, prayer, small groups, churches, and anyone longing for a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ.

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.

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!

Present Your Body a Living Sacrifice. Romans 12:1-2. Pastor Alex Costa

The most important thing about a Christian is not merely that his sins are forgiven or that he will go to heaven when he dies, wonderful as those truths are. The greatest thing is that, by the grace of God, he has become a worshiper of the true God. And that worship is not just something we do with our lips on Sunday morning; God also calls us to present our whole lives as a living sacrifice, offering ourselves to him in thankful devotion. The post A Living Sacrifice appeared first on Mt. Rose OPC.

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.

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.

Living Sacrifices

Romans 12 marks the shift from understanding God's mercy to embodying it, calling believers to offer their whole lives as worship through ongoing surrender and inner renewal. Out of this transformed mind flows a new way of living marked by humility, where identity is received rather than asserted, and by a shared life where each person's gifts are given for the good of others. Love becomes the defining expression of this life, not as sentiment but as a steady, discerning, and active commitment to what is good. Even in the face of opposition or harm, the way forward is not retaliation but a radical trust in God's justice, choosing instead to meet evil with tangible goodness. In this vision, the Christian life is not separate from everyday reality but woven into it, forming a people whose lives quietly reflect the mercy they have received.
