Taking great risks!

The difference between good and great is not a matter of knowledge or pedigree, but of a willingness to take a radical step of faith.

Where there is no risk, there is no faith.

… that where there is no risk, there’s no faith; where there’s no faith, there’s no power or joy or intimacy with God and therefore no supernatural miracles, no reward, and no pleasing God.

Making great sacrifices.

Old Testament Sacrifices

Two compulsory or required: Sin sacrifice Guilt sacrifice Old Testament Sacrifices Two compulsory or required: Sin sacrifice Guilt sacrifice

Old Testament Sacrifices Three voluntary offerings: Burnt offering Grain offering Peace offering Old Testament Sacrifices Three voluntary offerings: Burnt offering Grain offering Peace offering

Compulsory or required sacrifice made fellowship with God possible, …

…but voluntary offerings expressed the kind of love on which relationships are built.

To love Jesus is to sacrifice for him.

He wants all of us.

This sacrificial living is a necessary part of the sanctification process that we experience after we’re saved.
