This Week | January 31 – February 6, 2025
February 2 | Romans – Grasping The Gospel, Romans 12:1-2, Part 45: Becoming a Living Sacrifice – Pastor Mark Pospisil
Synopsis: There is a shift in the book of Romans starting in chapter 12. The rest of the book now gets very practical. The first part was all about the truth of the gospel and what Christ accomplished for us. Now, it is all about the implications of the gospel for our lives and what it looks like to follow Jesus. It begins with one of the most powerful and needed verses for Christians today. The Lord bestowed upon us awesome and incredible mercy through Jesus, because of that we are to be a living sacrifice. What does that mean? What does that look like? How do I do that daily? We are going to see how the good news of Jesus radically transforms our minds and lives.
Fighter Verse: Romans 12:2 – Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

Core Ministries – Weekly Update
The phrase “take away” has many different connotations. For a four-year-old, it means someone took their toy. For a basketball player, it means a steal. For a math teacher, it means subtraction. This week, we’ll dive deeper into the meaning of Jesus coming to “take away” the sins of the world!
