What Does a "Living Sacrifice" Look Like?
In this week's message, Pastor Bartley Sawatsky explains that a living sacrifice involves offering oneself entirely to God, characterized by a transformation and renewal of the mind, which leads to discerning and fulfilling God's will. By breaking down the text, Pastor Sawatsky emphasizes the importance of humility, using our diverse gifts for the common good, and living in genuine community as practical expressions of being a living sacrifice. Through this message, he encourages the congregation to embody their faith in daily, tangible actions that reflect Christ's love and service.
