Sermon Series: Reassured
How do you know that you know? Having confidence that we are saved has been a question for Christians since the very beginning, but God wants us to know with certainty that He loves us and our lives honor Him. In this three week series we’ll explore in 1, 2, and 3 John how to have reassurance of salvation and live it out daily.

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.
