Redefining Sacrifice: Exploring Offerings to God and Self-Control

Imagine your daily comforts, pleasures, or even time on social media becoming your offering to God? Quite a provoking thought, isn't it? We promise, this episode is going to challenge and provoke you to rethink what sacrifice truly means. It's more than just the grand gestures, the quality of your offerings to God is mirrored by the quality of your relationship with Him. We explore the teachings of Malachi 1:6-11, highlighting that every season of our life presents unique offerings that we need to surrender or 'put on the altar'. Our discussion doesn't stop at just identifying sacrifices. We all are familiar with the easy-to-give offerings, the ones that don't cost us much. But what about the ones that demand our self-control? This episode encourages you to examine your life and identify those hidden areas where gluttony sneaks in, indicating a lack of self-control, and turns your offerings into leftovers rather than the best. Moreover, we delve deep into how our attitude towards giving to others sharply contrasts with our attitude towards giving to God. So, get ready for a riveting conversation that might just revolutionize your perspective on what it truly means to sacrifice for God.
