  • Living Sacrifice - The Spirit of Discernment
    Jul 6 2025
    Are you living as a true sacrifice for God, or are you simply going through the motions? In his powerful sermon, Pastor Jimmie Hicks Jr. reminds us of the significance of being a "living sacrifice," as outlined in Romans 12:1. He emphasizes that our sacrifices must be holy and acceptable to God, contrasting them with the Old Testament's dead sacrifices. Pastor calls the congregation to examine their lives, urging them to discard personal desires and fully embrace the transformative power of Jesus Christ. His unique perspective illustrates that choosing Jesus is more than just a decision; it's a continual commitment to make choices that glorify God. Pastor challenges us to discover and utilize our spiritual gifts—not just for our benefit, but to serve others and build His kingdom. As he passionately stresses, every Christian must navigate spiritual warfare with discernment, or risk being drawn back into the world's temptations. He calls for urgent action: it’s time to choose life over death, to fill ourselves with the Holy Spirit and get involved in church initiatives that make a difference. Are you ready to step into your divine purpose? The time is now!
