Sermon Series: RAW – the truth about us

We often want to think of the Bible and the people in it as a perfect book about perfect people. But the truth is that the Bible is a perfect book about imperfect people who have a perfect God. In this series, we are going to pull back the illusions about how Christian life is really supposed to be, and talk honestly about how Christian life really is. And in doing so, we hope to encounter God’s love and power in a new and genuine way.

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.
