Summary

In this podcast we examine what it means to participate in the sacrifice outside the gate. This imagery is taken from the Levitical law, but the writer of Hebrews draws upon it for application in our Christian lives. Are we dominated by dead sacrifices or are our lives a living sacrifice? Sometimes I emphasize a point in a sermon in order to gain more understanding. This is one of those occasions. I am not apposed to "programs" in the church per se. However, this scripture is clear that if our works are dead works, without Jesus as the center, then we are to shut them down and follow Jesus outside the camp. A church dominated in dead programs has a lot of activity but no live. A church dominated by applied faith may not have a lot of activity, but has a lot of life.

The Ministry Mentor Podcast with Matt Sturdevant Matt Sturdevant If you are in your 20s and feel like God has called you into vocational ministry or you’re currently sorting through your call, this is THE podcast for you. In my 10+ years in ministry, I’ve been able to meet and work with a variety of professionals in vocational ministry. I’ve had amazing access to leaders serving in positions like: church planter, senior pastor, executive pastor, church staff member, denominational executives (local and state), campus ministry directors, missionaries and more. Each week, I’ll bring you a behind the scene conversation with a different ministry leader letting you into their personal and professional life. You’ll get to hear their stories, how God has called them into ministry, what the journey has looked like so far. The podcast will also be bringing you what I’ve learned in my own life, from my own experiences with God’s call and in my 8+ years of training and coaching men and women headed into a ministry career.
