The following sermon was preached on Sunday morning, June 23, 2004 at the First Baptist Church of Benbrook.
Living Sacrifice. That is what the Scriptures tell followers of Christ to be: living sacrifices. But this is not a sacrifice for the forgiveness of sins nor to earn God’s favor. That is a gift to be received by grace through faith. This is a worshipful response to the manifold mercies of God. But we live in a world that is working hard to conform us to its ways, so our reasonable service is to be transformed by the renewing of our mind. And what we find is that following the Lordship of Christ is the good and pleasing life. (Romans 12.1-2)
This sermon was part of our Vacation Bible School celebration Sunday and was based on the VBS Theme verses of Romans 12.1-2.
