Love Live Speak by Houston Tucker

Eastside Church Sermons

Can living for a cause be more challenging than dying for it? Join us in this compelling episode as we delve into Paul's radical concept of "living sacrifices" and its implications for modern Christian life. We'll unpack what it means to offer our daily actions as a gift to God, drawing inspiration from biblical stories and even cultural references like the musical Hamilton. This isn't just about lofty ideals; it's about making your everyday life a meaningful act of worship.
We promise you'll gain fresh insights into the transformative power of the Holy Spirit versus the conforming pressures of our culture. How do we renew our minds to align with what is pleasing to God, rather than what culture dictates? We'll explore Paul's crucial command to "be transformed" and discuss the role of community worship in reinforcing our connection to God and each other. Our gatherings aren't mere rituals; they're vital lifelines that help us stand firm in our faith and mission.
Finally, discover how our mission statement to love, live like, and speak of Jesus can be practically applied both locally and globally. As we preview our nine-week series on Romans 8 and look ahead to combining Advent with the theme of Sabbath, we'll emphasize the importance of living out our mission in unity and faith. Whether through our MCs and DNA groups or through personal acts of worship, this episode challenges you to see yourself as already acceptable to God through Jesus and to live out that truth daily. Join us for an episode rich in spiritual wisdom and practical guidance.
