Paul challenges us to become 'living sacrifices' for God, as described in Romans 12:1-2. This isn't about earning God's love, but responding to His incredible mercy. In light of this mercy, offering ourselves as living sacrifices is not only reasonable but transformative. It's a daily, intentional act that goes against our culture's self-centered mindset. This sacrifice becomes the foundation for discerning God's will and living out His purpose for us. Are we willing to be 'all in' for God, not just in our hearts, but with our physical bodies too? This message urges us to move beyond comfort, reminding us that living sacrifices aren't made in recliners, but on altars of surrender.
Devotional:
Today, let's think about what it means to be a "living sacrifice." In the sermon, the pastor talked about how God wants us to give ourselves to Him completely. This means trusting God with our lives and choices, even when it feels tough. Just like in Romans 12:1, offering our lives to God is our true worship.

The sermon reminded us of God's mercy. Mercy is when God shows us kindness and forgiveness. Because of everything God has done for us, we can trust Him. Reflect on the ways God has been merciful in your life and how that makes you want to live for Him.
