Costly Consecration

Jan 11, 2026    Pastor Joel Denney

Pastor Joel explores the concept of consecration through the lens of Old Testament sacrificial worship, particularly the burnt offering in Leviticus 1. He emphasizes that true devotion to God requires sacrifice and cannot be approached with a "couponing mentality" that seeks convenience over commitment. Drawing parallels between the Israelites' burnt offerings and the New Testament call to be living sacrifices (Romans 12:1-2), the message challenges believers to examine areas where they may be offering convenient rather than costly consecration. Pastor Joel concludes with a call to full surrender, emphasizing that while consecration is costly, no price is too great compared to what Christ has done for us. His message situates itself within the broader context of Israel's preparation to take Jericho, showing how obedience and consecration position God's people for spiritual victory.
