You Are On Assignment // Renew Your Mind (Day 1) 22.02.2021 10:20 ↓

I want to begin this week by reminding you that you are on assignment. You are not here by mistake, you were placed here with a purpose. God desires to expand the Kingdom of Heaven through your everyday living. Paul warns against conforming to the pattern (culture) of this world. While we are in the world, we are not of the world – we are of God. Therefore be careful to not compromise your calling...

A Pleasing Sacrifice // I'm All In! (Day 5) 19.02.2021 15:55 ↓

The last requirement of being a living sacrifice is that our lives would be pleasing to God. What does it mean to live in a way that's pleasing to Him? This can be answered by asking a simple question in our everyday decisions: "Would God be pleased with this?" It's not so much of a question of will I lose my salvation, because that is determined by our faith (Romans 10:9). But the real question i...

A Holy Sacrifice // I'm All In! (Day 4) 18.02.2021 15:29 ↓

Another layer to our commitment to God is described by the word "holy." To be holy is to be consecrated or set apart for the purpose of God. Paul urges the church to be holy, that we would be completely committed to God in our everyday living. This means that we must not be divided in our commitment, offering a portion of ourselves to God and reserving a portion for the world. Instead, we must be...

A Living Sacrifice // I'm All In! (Day 3) 17.02.2021 16:10 ↓

A key requirement of a sacrifice offered to God is that it must be alive. This was the case with animals that were brought to the priests but even more important for our own selves as we offer our lives as living sacrifices unto God. The word "living" in the Greek means to be full of vigor, efficient and effective. That means that God desires that we would not simply be in existence, but that we w...

A Whole Sacrifice // I'm All In! (Day 2) 16.02.2021 16:51 ↓

When considering the idea of offering our lives as a sacrifice, it's easy to offer what's convenient, comfortable and partial. This couldn't be further from the truth. I believe this is described best by the Message translation as it says: "So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it...

It's Messy But It's Me // I'm All In! (Day 1) 15.02.2021 16:00 ↓

In Romans 12:1, Paul urged the believers to offer their whole lives as a living sacrifice to God. In other words, he was encouraging them to be ALL IN! After considering all that God has done for us, this is our only worthy response. Today, I encourage you to embrace the challenge of being "ALL IN" in your relationship with God, offering Him your whole life for His purpose. Join us this week in Pr...
