Sacrifice | Philip Cochran
In this powerful message, we're challenged to examine the true meaning of sacrifice in our spiritual lives. The central story of King David's encounter with Araunah in 2 Samuel 24 serves as a profound reminder that our offerings to God should cost us something. We're encouraged to move beyond a culture of minimum effort and embrace wholehearted devotion. The sermon draws parallels between David's willingness to pay for the threshing floor and our own need to give our best in worship, prayer, giving, and service. It's a call to abandon ourselves to faith, recognizing that what may seem insignificant to us could be part of God's greater plan. As we reflect on this message, we're invited to consider: What are we offering to God that costs us nothing? How can we cultivate a spirit of sacrifice that transforms our relationship with God and impacts the world around us?
