Not many people have something in their life that they would die for. In a relationship with Jesus Christ He desires a commitment from us that we give our whole lives to Him. The Bible teaches that we are to be a living sacrifice to God, living and doing all things for Him.

This week, listen in as Pastor Will continues our sermon series "Giving Up to Gain." In this sermon, Past Will talks about how we have to embrace interruptions, entrust whatever, and experience satisfaction.

3-15-26 | In our journey to accept Christ, we receive good things along the way: Love and Grace, Peace and Forgiveness, Sacrifice and Repentance, Joy and Celebration, Salvation and Purpose. Let's walk this road together and receive all the Lord has for us! 

3. Wicked Queens and the Sacrifice of Vestals (5)Southon discusses Tullia, the "wicked" opposite of Lucretia, who murdered her family to seize power and defiled her father's body. Her ambition served as a warning that monarchy breeds tyranny. The focus then shifts to the Vestal Virgins, such as Oppia, who were tasked with maintaining Rome's eternal flame. If bad omens occurred, a Vestal might be accused of unchastity and buried alive as a human sacrifice to appease the gods. Often, there was no evidence of wrongdoing beyond "unchaste" behavior like telling jokes or wearing nice dresses. (6)

In every society, there are outcasts – people who are at the fringes, ignored, or despised. While most societies move away from them, Jesus moves towards them. Jesus says, “I desire mercy, not sacrifice.”

Great Lent 2026; Sunday of the Cross "Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me." (Matthew 16:24) Christ is talking as if "coming after" or "following" Him is something good. What is that all about? Where is He going? Where is He leading us? Christ talks about "denying" ourselves. In the next verse He ties that to being willing to die. This sounds important. We need to get it right. There is a great lie in our world: that all religions are basically the same. But Scripture warns us that the devil himself can appear as an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14). So it is not enough simply to have faith in something. Why in the world are there so many warnings in the Bible about idolatry? Some people focus on sexual sin. But even Scripture often uses sexual sin as a metaphor for something even worse: worshipping false gods. One is bad—but the other is worse. Just as marriage is good, but union with God is even greater. So we need to get this cross thing right. Is it just about perseverance? Everyone has their own cross to bear? Well… kind of. But even that needs to be grounded. We are not simply stoics. If we are stoics at all, we are stoics of a very particular kind. So what is the cross? Yes, it involves pain. But not just any pain. Look to the prototype. We are Christians, and Christ is our standard. His cross was painful—but it was pain put to a purpose. It was sacrificial. He gave Himself as a sacrifice. And all sacrifice involves something valuable—something costly, something difficult. Pain can be like that. The cross was Christ's sacrifice on behalf of the people and the world that He loved. That gives us something to work with. Taking up our cross means doing things that are hard on behalf of others. At the very least, it means denying what we might prefer so that others can thrive. For Christ, that meant leaving the place where He was given the glory and honor that was His due and coming to live in a world where He would be disrespected, misunderstood, and even tortured and killed. And He did it so that we—the ones He loves—could join Him in eternal glory. When we voluntarily sacrifice our time, when we put up with people who misunderstand us, who may not value us, who may never fully appreciate what we are doing—and we do it out of a desire for their health and salvation … … then we are taking up our cross and following Christ into glory. So be patient when your ego tells you to lash out. Be courageous when your instincts tell you to hide. Figure out what love requires in each moment—and then dedicate yourself to it. In addition to patience and courage, this requires paying attention. It requires humility. It requires dedication to the needs of the moment. And it surely won't be easy. But this is the cup that our Lord accepted in the Garden of Gethsemane—the cup that led to the salvation of the world. And when we drink of that cup, we are united to Him through His passion on the Cross. But we must remember something very important. The cross is not the end of the story. Christ did not go to the cross in order to remain in the grave. He went through the cross into resurrection. And this is exactly where the Church is leading us during Great Lent. We are walking the road of the cross now so that we may stand together in the light of Pascha. Our Lord Himself told us how this works: "Unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit." In Christ, the cross is never the final word. What passes through the cross is changed. We die with Him so that we may live with Him. Buried with Him in death, we rise with Him into newness of life. As St. Maximus the Confessor says, "The one who participates in Christ's sufferings also shares in His glory." Suffering offered in love becomes glory. Sacrifice becomes participation in His life. And even death becomes the doorway to life. This is the mystery the Church sings every year at Pascha: Yesterday I was buried with Thee, O Christ;today I arise with Thee in Thy resurrection. This is where Christ is leading us. Through the cross. Into resurrection. So when the moment comes—and it will come—when love requires something difficult from you, do not be afraid of the cross. Take it up. Follow Him. Because on the other side of the cross is life— life with Christ, life with all the saints, and life in the glory of the Kingdom.

MARRIAGES THAT LAST Ephesians 5.21–33 Gordon Dabbs, PhD The biggest challenge in marriage is that two imperfect people show up expecting the other person to change. Scripture says the strongest marriages happen not when we focus on changing our spouse… but when we focus on surrendering ourselves. Ephesians 5.21-22, 25 (NLT) Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. For wives, this means submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For husbands, this means love your wives, just as Christ loved the church. He gave up his life for her… 1st key element of a marriage that lasts: SACRIFICE. Am I willing to put my spouse's needs before my own? God's design for marriage is lifelong faithfulness. What about divorce? 1. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate. 2. Divorce is not presented as part of God's ideal. 3. Scripture also recognizes that we live in a broken world where sin damages marriages. Matthew 19.8 (ESV) Because of your hardness of heart Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so. 2nd element: SERVICE. Ephesians 5.29 (NIV) No one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church. . . 3rd element: SEPARATION. Ephesians 5.31 (ESV) A man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife. 4th element: SAVIOR. The best thing you can do for your marriage is put Jesus right in the middle of it. When these 4 elements are present… you don't just have a marriage that survives. You build a marriage that thrives.Subscribe to PRESTONCREST - with Gordon Dabbs on Soundwise

In this episode of House of Learning: Understanding the Doctrine of the Temple, Meghan Farner and Cory Jensen explore the five modern temple covenants and what they truly require beyond surface-level religious compliance.This lesson reframes temple covenants as a progressive spiritual ladder rather than a checklist — revealing how each covenant builds upon the last and invites deeper levels of personal revelation, sacrifice, embodiment, transformation, and Christ-centered living.The five covenants explored include:✨ The Law of Obedience — learning to follow God through personal revelation ✨ The Law of Sacrifice — offering a broken heart and contrite spirit ✨ The Law of the Gospel — embodying Christlike character and lived discipleship ✨ The Law of Chastity — integrating body, desire, identity, and faithfulness ✨ The Law of Consecration — offering one's life in service to God and othersViewers will learn how these covenants operate as a developmental pathway rather than rigid rules, how personal revelation guides individual spiritual growth, and how covenant living prepares the soul for spiritual maturity and divine partnership with Jesus Christ.This episode also explores how these covenants connect to ancient covenant structures, how they unfold through a lifelong process of sanctification, and how they shape identity, purpose, and spiritual stewardship. If you've ever wondered what the temple covenants truly mean, how to live them authentically, or how they shape real spiritual transformation, this lesson provides deep clarity and practical spiritual insight.

Few shows reinvent themselves as boldly between seasons as Dan Fogelman's “Paradise.” What began as a tightly wound political mystery in Season 1 mutates into something far bigger in Season 2: a survival story, a character odyssey, and a puzzle box full of fan theories that viewers are now happily dissecting online. The world expands dramatically beyond the bunker, pushing its characters into unfamiliar territory and raising the emotional stakes across the board.On this episode of The Playlist's Bingeworthy podcast, host Mike DeAngelo speaks with Sterling K. Brown and Shailene Woodley, and Julianne Nicholson about the show's ambitious second season, the emotional toll of survival, and what lies ahead as the series moves toward its planned ending.

In this episode of Don't Miss This, Dave Butler and Grace Freeman continue the story of Joseph in Genesis 42–50 and watch the cliffhanger finally unfold. What once looked like betrayal, prison, and loss slowly reveals a story where God was working the whole time. As Joseph's brothers return during the famine, the story becomes a powerful picture of Christ's character. Through hidden mercy, undeserved generosity, and a carefully unfolding plan, Joseph's actions begin to mirror the heart of Jesus — a Savior who sees us fully, works for our good even when we cannot see it, and offers grace far beyond what we deserve. This episode is a reminder that even when the story feels unfinished, God is still writing. And in the end, the same truth echoes through every chapter: what others may intend for harm, God can still turn into something good.

If God's will is love, what does it mean to love yourself without sliding into narcissism—or the opposite extreme of self-neglect and self-hatred? Continuing the “Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven” conversation, Joe Rockey and Father Boniface Hicks bring needed nuance: self-love isn't self-worship, and self-denial isn't automatically virtue.They unpack why “harder” is not inherently “better,” why suffering is only meaningful when ordered to a higher purpose (love), and how true humility is simply honesty—being clear about what you're good at and what you're not. The episode reframes self-care as stewardship of your humanity: caring for yourself with the same respect and consistency you'd give a loved one (or even your pet), so you can show up with more freedom, joy, and capacity to serve.Key IdeasOrdered self-love avoids two traps: narcissism (self as god) and self-disregard (treating God's creation as worthless).The Christian goal isn't “maximum suffering”; virtue often makes the good easier, more spontaneous, and more joyful over time.Sacrifice matters—but only when it's for a higher purpose (love of God and neighbor), not as an identity or performance.Humility is honesty: “I'm good at X” isn't pride, and “I'm bad at Y” isn't self-hatred—it's reality.Grow the gifts you actually have, and let that growth expand your ability to love and serve others more effectively.Links & References (official/source only)Dr. Jordan B.

Aaron Archer, a new dad and nurse practitioner in Knoxville, shares with Barry how he learned to be a father after growing up without a present father. Aaron shares meeting his wife Abby through hospital orientation, building a nursing career, and welcoming their daughter Ava. He defines fatherlessness primarily as lack of presence, describes his parents' divorce amid abuse and addiction, and explains how his single mom Rebecca provided love, sacrifice, and stability while raising three kids. Aaron discusses identity, “father hunger,” performance-driven striving, and the need to address wounds so they don't spread, comparing healing to treating physical wounds. He emphasizes modeling faith through actions, seeking mentors, and “turning the chair” to break generational patterns.Join FatherFuel for more: https://www.fatherseekers.org/fatherfuelFS Facebook FS Instagram FS YouTube Ask Barry a question: barry@fatherseekers.orgCHAPTERS00:00 Why Dads Need Guidance00:36 Meet Aaron and Baby Ava02:52 From Student to Nurse Practitioner05:35 Growing Up Fatherless08:02 Becoming a Present Dad12:21 Raised by a Single Mom16:45 Sacrifice and Sibling Support18:33 Family Business and Grow Story21:14 Shane Builds a Salon Empire22:58 Family Business Teamwork24:59 Identity Through Presence27:13 Modeling Faith at Home30:16 Creating Peaceful Spaces34:05 Healing Not Performance39:58 Father Hunger and Affirmation43:10 Wounds Not Your Fault44:53 Advice to Fatherless Dads47:45 Wrap Up and Resources48:16 fatherseekers.org--FatherSeekers helps fatherless fathers become better fathers.Get discussion guides, devotionals, and more at FS Website

Cross Words: The Atoning Sacrifice by LaGrave Church

In his book Against The Machine, writer and thinker Paul Kingsnorth contends that thanks to digital technology and advances in AI, we are moving into a world that is governed by Algorithm's and AI, rather than by God-imaging humanity. In essence, we are letting the machine guide and direct our lives. I want to encourage you to take note of the four values the Machine is promoting. First, there's a reliance on science rather than faith in God's revelation to define the nature of reality. Second, the highest good that's promoted is to serve and advance one's self, rather than living a life of sacrificial selfless Christ-like love. Third, sex is seen as primary to what we do, with the pursuit of my own pleasure as foundational to my identity. And finally, there's the screen, which serves to attract our undivided attention, distracting us from reality and thereby undermining our humanity. Will we allow ourselves and our children to become slaves to the machine, or followers of Jesus Christ?

Our God is a gift-giver, and He goes beyond thought or expectation when He bestows His gifts. His greatest gift was Jesus, whose blessing extends far beyond the manger to the cross.

2. The Loss of Sacrifice and the Shadow of the Pacific War The debaters contrast the modern era with the Pacific War (1941-1945), noting that Pearl Harbor provided an immediate, unifying rationale for total war. During that time, there was no doubt regarding the mission to defeat Japan and Germany, and the nation embraced a spirit of sacrifice. Germanicus points to the film *They Were Expendable* as an artifact of a time when martyrdom bound the people together in a shared national identity. Today, however, he argues that the sacred narrative has been "hollowed out" and corrupted by leaders who use it for manipulation. Modern Americans, described as increasingly narcissistic, have lost the memory of what it means to be part of something larger than themselves. Furthermore, the U.S. has transitioned into a society that prefers striking from afar via technology rather than engaging in "boots on the ground" combat. This leads to a dangerous disconnect: while the leadership feels "in command pushing buttons," they are oblivious to the fact that they may be losing the war, repeating the failures of Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Without a clear U.S. war aim, the military appears to be merely executing an Israeli mission to degrade Iran, leaving the American public without a sense of purpose or a defined end to the hostilities.

Robert and Katie delve into the realities of being a Minister, the status of the UK's transition to a green economy, and why electric vehicles are a "dollop of joy" for any driver.   00:00 - Meeting the Minister: A Lift in a Fiat 500e  03:59 - The "Rainbow of Emotions": Life as a Climate Minister  06:26 - Why EVs are a "Dollop of Joy," Not a Sacrifice  09:45 - The Quiet Revolution: Electric Buses & Bin Lorries  14:41 - Energy Security: Why the UK Should "Buy, Not Rent" Power  18:29 - The Clarkson Effect: Farming, Nature, and Changing Minds  22:46 - Ending Range Anxiety: UK Charging Infrastructure Today  27:54 - Why British Scientists are Our Innovation Superpower  35:45 - Communicating Climate: Moving Beyond the "Hessian Shoes"  42:30 - Solar Schools and the Economic Case for Green Power  48:00 - Global Progress: Why Even "A Global Experiment" Needs Optimism   Why not come and join us at our next Everything Electric expo: www.everythingelectric.show    Support our StopBurningStuff campaign: https://www.patreon.com/STOPBurningStuff Become an Everything Electric Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/fullychargedshow Buy the Fully Charged Guide to Electric Vehicles & Clean Energy : https://buff.ly/2GybGt0 Subscribe for episode alerts and the Everything Electric newsletter: https://fullycharged.show/zap-sign-up/ Visit: https://FullyCharged.Show Find us on X: https://x.com/Everyth1ngElec Follow us on Instagram: https://instagram.com/officialeverythingelectric To partner, exhibit or sponsor at our award-winning expos email: commercial@fullycharged.show   EE NORTH (Harrogate) - 8th & 9th May 2026  EE WEST (Cheltenham) - 12th & 13th June 2026  EE GREATER LONDON (Twickenham) - 11th & 12th Sept 2026 EE SYDNEY - Sydney Olympic Park - 18th - 20th Sept 2026   Tags:  #fullychargedshow #everythingelectricshow #homeenergy #cleanenergy #battery #electriccars #electric-vehicles-uk #EverythingElectric #EVs #KatieWhiteMP #ClimateChange #NetZero #ElectricVehicles #UKPolitics #GreenEnergy #RenewableEnergy #WindPower #Sustainability #Fiat500e #CleanTech #EnergySecurity #BritishInnovation

Pastor Andy teaches that God is intentional in all things, actively working for the good of those called according to His purpose, and that this same intentionality is the seed of success for every believer. True prosperity is not accidental; it requires being intentional about identity, gifting, and connections, recognizing that each person is sent here on a divine mission with a name and an assignment worth pursuing. Sacrifice without intent is unsustainable, but when offerings of time, talent, and resources are made with purposeful expectation toward God's favor, the doors He has already prepared begin to open.

We have all heard rumours that ancient religions used children in ritual sacrifice. But did it really happen? To discuss the evidence, Helen and Lloyd are joined in the Time Machine by Dr Eve MacDonald, lecturer at Cardiff University and author of the acclaimed, Carthage: A New History of an Ancient Empire (Penguin, 2025). Dr MacDonald answers questions like: Did human sacrifice really occur in the ancient world, and what does the archaeological evidence actually show?What happened in the Great Death Pit at Ur, and what does it reveal about ancient burial rituals?Why do ancient myths and biblical stories so often centre on the sacrifice of young girls?Did the Carthaginians really practise child sacrifice, and what does the evidence from the Tophet suggest?How did Greeks and Romans use accusations of shocking religious practices to demonise their enemies—and even early Christians?SUPPORT BIBLICAL TIME MACHINEIf you enjoy the podcast, please (pretty please!) consider supporting the show through the Time Travellers Club, our Patreon.

Send a textAs a believer we are called to sacrifice or do things without getting things in return.  This is a fundamental in the faith and is pertinent until we die.  When we learn to sacrifice we become more familiar with God's love which is sacrificial.  He gives us a lot of love but what does He ger in return?  Many times nothing or worse something negative.  This is how we learn to love - give and don't expect to get.  

What does sacrifice actually mean in the Christian life—and is it supposed to feel costly?In this Ask the Seminarians episode, we wrestle with the tension between comfort and obedience, desire and surrender. Is sacrifice about giving things up? Is it about suffering? Or is it about love?We explore how Scripture reframes sacrifice—not as spiritual performance or misery for misery's sake—but as a response to God's goodness. Along the way, we talk about misplaced guilt, modern confusion around self-denial, and how to discern when something is truly sacrificial versus simply inconvenient.If you've ever wondered whether following Jesus is supposed to hurt—or how to think about sacrifice in everyday life—this conversation will help clarify and ground you.Takeaways Biblical sacrifice is rooted in love, not punishment. Sacrifice is about surrendering control, not earning favor. Not every hard thing is holy, and not every comfortable thing is compromise. Obedience often feels costly before it feels fruitful. Jesus redefines sacrifice as self-giving love. Discernment is essential in a culture that confused discomfort with devotion.

In this episode of Don't Miss This, Dave Butler and Grace Freeman continue the story of Joseph in Genesis 42–50 and watch the cliffhanger finally unfold. What once looked like betrayal, prison, and loss slowly reveals a story where God was working the whole time. As Joseph's brothers return during the famine, the story becomes a powerful picture of Christ's character. Through hidden mercy, undeserved generosity, and a carefully unfolding plan, Joseph's actions begin to mirror the heart of Jesus — a Savior who sees us fully, works for our good even when we cannot see it, and offers grace far beyond what we deserve. This episode is a reminder that even when the story feels unfinished, God is still writing. And in the end, the same truth echoes through every chapter: what others may intend for harm, God can still turn into something good.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century existentialist and feminist philosopher, novelist, essayist, and playwright Simone de Beauvoir's book, The Ethics of Ambiguity It focuses specifically on her discussion at the end of the section "The Antinomies Of Action", which looks at the willingness of some people to justify sacrificing others for the sake of some conception of usefulness or utility in achieving some value they view as transcendent. De Beauvoir argues that "useful" is not an absolute term, and that one has to clarify the end that one is claiming justifies the sacrifice.

The Human Equation with Joe Pangaro – In every generation, America has been blessed with individuals willing to answer the call of duty. They are the quiet guardians of our way of life, the living proof that courage still exists in a world too often defined by fear and violence. As we reflect on their service, we should also reflect on our own obligations—to respect the law, to support those who...
