GOD SPEAKS. ARE YOU LISTENING?
This series explores how God communicates with us in everyday life-through Scripture, circumstances, people, prayer, and the Holy Spirit. It challenges us to tune our hearts and minds to recognize and listen to God’s voice and respond with obedience. By diving into biblical and personal examples, the series invites us to deepen our spiritual discernment and prayer life to develop a more intimate relationship with God.

It's Sacrificial
In the Old Testament, God's people would from time to time make sacrificial offerings. We tend to think of sacrifice as something bad - that we're losing something. But biblically, sacrificial giving is something we do as a humbled response to God's goodness. From time to time, we want to sacrifice something for God's work - and in fact the missing of "that thing" we sacrifice reminds us of God's graciousness. Delaying a car purchase one year, reducing your level of vacation, magazine subscriptions, going to the movies - all these things we could willingly sacrifice as our gesture of appreciation to God and to support His work. Remembering, as Christians, our salvation is secured by the willing sacrifice of Christ. We recognized that as in all things, God sacrificed first - we are merely responding.
