A Living Sacrifice

1Peter 2:4-5 says that we are to offer spiritual sacrifices. Have you ever stopped to think what these sacrifices are in light of Jesus taking the place of animal sacrifices from the OT? Looking at NT Scripture, we find that the things that we are called to do are founded in mercy and steadfast love and require a sacrifice of our time and resources to glorify God.

Extra scripture reading for today's message are: Philippians 2:1-4, 12-13, 14-15.
