Sacrifices on SermonAudio

Jesus Christ is the incarnation of divine truth and grace, contrasting His unchanging gospel offer with the lies and self-righteousness of wicked men. While physical heritage or moral effort cannot save, only the truth embodied in Christ liberates sinners from the bondage of sin. Consider the tragic rejection of this truth by Israel, who preferred their own lies and the praise of men over the savi...

Paul closes the subject of Christian liberty with a summation. God, sovereign over all, grants great freedom to His people. Liberty consists of at least four categories: – Freedom from the curse and bondage of sin—washed in the blood of Christ. – Freedom from the ceremonial law, now fulfilled in Christ our High Priest and sacrifice. – Freedom from the doctrines and commandments of men that bind th...

The old covenant sacrifices were only a shadow of the good things to come. They were offered year after year, yet they could never take away sin or cleanse the conscience. They served instead as a constant reminder of guilt. In this passage the writer to the Hebrews turns our eyes to Jesus Christ, who came to do the Father's will and offered His own body once for all. The Levitical priests stood d...

The darkness represents the weight of human sin, the seve...

The message highlights the omni...

Every believer is a priest to God called to "offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ (Rev. 1:6; 1 Peter 2:5, 9). The Holy Spirit, who was given in special measure to Old Testament priests (Num. 11:25) has been poured out on all believers to make them "wholeheartedly willing and ready from now on to live for him." But while all Christians are priests, not all are ministers...

If Acts has two streams (the ministries of Peter and of Paul) then it also has three waves, as Christ's gospel spreads from Jerusalem, through Judea and Samaria, to the end of the earth. Here we are in Antioch, as the church separates Barnabas and Saul to the work of gospel preaching beyond the Mediterranean. We look at the men involved, the ministry they had, the motion of the Holy Spirit, and th...
