Pastor BossmanTopic: The Power to Sacrifice Sacrifice means giving up something valuable—time, energy, resources, or possessions—forGod. True sacrifice costs something.Romans 12:1 – Offer your body as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God. Jesus sacrificed His life so we could live. Likewise, our sacrifice invites divine intervention,releases power, and draws us closer to God. Key Scriptures & Takeaways Sacrifice Releases Power Sacrifice Ends Plagues Samuel 24:24–25 – David refused to offer God what cost him nothing. His sacrificestopped a deadly plague.Your sacrifice can break cycles, heal families, and shift spiritual battles. Your Sacrifice Has a VoiceIt speaks on your behalf and draws the attention of heaven.

Examples of Sacrificial Living ● Peter chose to be crucified upside down—he didn’t consider himself worthy to die likeJesus.● Solomon gave generously and sacrificially.1 Kings 3:3–5 – Solomon’s offering moved God to appear in a dream and say, “AskMe.” His request for wisdom led to God giving him riches and honor too.● David had a heart to build God’s temple.● The Early Church in Acts 5 gave sacrificially.

Sacrifice That Moves God ● Love for God – Let love fuel your giving.● Heart Posture – Be a cheerful giver.● Quality Matters – Don’t give God leftovers; give Him your best.Sometimes we offer our Ishmael when God is asking for our Isaac.● Obedience Matters – Lot’s wife looked back and was turned into salt. Partial obedienceblocks blessing. Final Encouragement ● Sacrifice opens the door to blessing.● It moves God’s hand in your favor.● It proves your trust in Him. When you trust in the Lord, you’ll never be ashamed.Sacrifice now, and experience power later.
