Trailblazers – Walking the Path of Commitment
In our Trailblazers series, we’re exploring what it means to go “all in” for Jesus and His mission. Just like trailblazers forge paths for others, we’re called to commit fully to following Christ, serving others, and building His Kingdom. This series serves as the foundation for our membership class, and we’d love for all our regular attenders to join us each week as we take this important journey together. Let’s walk the path of faith, purpose, and commitment as a church family!
Day 1: Living as a Holy Sacrifice
Our relationship with God calls us to present ourselves as living sacrifices, focusing on holiness rather than personal happiness. This perspective transforms how we engage with the church, shifting from a consumer mindset to one of service and mission. When we view our lives as offerings to God, we begin to prioritize spiritual growth and sanctification over temporary pleasures. This shift in focus allows us to see the church not as a place to fulfill personal preferences but as a community where we can grow in holiness and serve others.
Romans 12:1-2 (ESV): “I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.”
Reflection: What is one area of your life where you find yourself prioritizing personal happiness over holiness? How can you begin to shift your focus towards living as a holy sacrifice today?
