It's A Wonderful Life Part I | Pastor Mark Stermer

Few are called to die for Christ, but all are called to live for Him! ABOUT THE MESSAGEWhat does it mean to be a living sacrifice? Sacrifice is a major part of scripture and our relationship with God. He is calling us to be living sacrifices for Him and His kingdom. The interesting thing about a living sacrifice is that it has the capability to wiggle off of the altar when things start to get painful. In this message, God is reminding us of His heart for us and our lives. Just as Jesus was bound to the cross so we are called to bind ourselves to our cross through both our free will and the Spirit of God.  That is when we truly begin to live a Wonderful Life.” ABOUT JESUSIf you want to learn more about who Jesus is and what it means to have a relationship with Him, we would love to help you on that journey:https://www.thechurch.fm/jesusFor a deeper dive into The Word of God on a daily basis check out our Free Ancient Paths Daily Devotional: https://www.thechurch.fm/ancient-paths WHO WE AREWe believe that the goal of every Christian is To Be Conformed Into the Image of Jesus Christ, and a relationship with Jesus as well as being involved in a healthy church community are both important to achieving that goal.
