Turn to Luke 21:1-4
"Once
upon a time, a pig and a chicken were walking down a village street. They came
upon a church sign which was advertising a bazaar and breakfast which was going
to be held in a few days.
At the
bottom of the sign the menu was given, it read ’Ham and eggs will be served
from 6:30 to 8:00 am.’ The chicken turned to the pig and said, "See!!’
Even we can help the work of the church!!!"
"Yes,"
said the pig, "but yours is only a contribution, mine is a
SACRIFICE."
Sacrifice-
Nuntak tawntungna ngahnang kul ahihman Zeisu Si, ei zong nuntak tawntungnangin
sacrifice kisam.
Inspite
of how we might feel about it sacrifice is a very important part of our
Christian life
-Most
people who choose not to follow the Lord do so because of the sacrifice
involved in the Christian life
-Sacrifice
is extremely important
Romans
12:1- to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God,
this is your spiritual act of worship
Tua
ahih ciangin sanggamte aw, Pasian in eite tam veipi tak hong hehpih ahih manin
ama lungkim nading le ama nasep nadingin nomau mahmah a hingtangin Pasian
tungah na kipiak nadingun ka hong thum hi. Tua banga kipiakna pen Pasian biakna
man taktak ahi hi.
Definition
of Sacrifice-The offering of something that is precious, that has value,
that is important
A
sacrifice isn’t a sacrifice unless it costs you something
The
Butterball Turkey company set up a hotline to answer consumer questions about
preparing holiday turkeys. One woman called to inquire about cooking a
turkey that had been in her freezer for 23 years.
The
operator told her it might be safe if the freezer had been kept below 0 degrees
the entire time. But the operator warned the woman that, even if it were safe,
the flavor had probably deteriorated, and she wouldn’t recommend eating it.
The
caller replied, “That’s what we thought. We’ll just give it to the church.”
-A
sacrifice isn’t a sacrifice unless it costs you something
-It is
not a sacrifice to give your dirty socks to the
-Its
about hurting, lost, and dying of our world
-What
are you willing to sacrifice?
-Money,
Time, Success, Position
-God
has called us all as Christians to a place of sacrifice
Today I
want to talk to you about a woman who understood the principle of sacrifice
Luke
21:1-Jesuh a khuadak leh mihaute in biakinn sumkuang sungah
a letsong uh a khiatna, 2le
a zawng meigong khat in zong sumnen tang nih a khiat a mu hi. 3Tua ciangin amah in, “Ke’n kong cihin-ah, hih a zawng meigongnu
in a dangte khempeuh sangin tamzaw a khia hi. 4Bang hang hiam cih leh adangte in a zatval uh sumte a khia uh ahi
hi. Ahi zongin hih numei a zawng mahmah hinapi-in a nuntak nading khempeuh a
khia khin ahi hi,” a ci hi.
Make a
few observations about this passage, give you a challenge, then you can go to
lunch
-I was
thinking as a test of your sacrifice level I should preach until noon
-I
realized that wouldn’t be a sacrifice, but stupidity
THERE
IS A DIFFERENCE
Great
place to insert this
-God
doesn’t call us to sacrifice for the sake of sacrifice, but as a response of
obedience
1
Sam 15:22-Obedience is better then sacrifice
To
sacrifice just for the sake of sacrifice is called stupidity
Sacrifice
is to be done as an act of obedience
A-Inspite
of her poverty this poor widow held nothing back
-Not
just 10%-Not just left over time-Not just the thing she didn’t want
-2
copper coins or 1/8 of a penny
-She
gave it all
Elijah
and the widow.
-ALL SHE HAD TO LIVE ON
-She held nothing back
-God measures our giving not on how
much we give, but how much we have left
Not a financial expert
B-It would have made more since for
her to give one and to keep one for food
-Jesus wouldn’t have been mad
-Jesus wouldn’t have jumped out of
his chair and screamed “hey poor widow-You still have 1/16 of a penny
left---SELFISH”
C-She choose to sacrifice
-To offer something that is
precious, that has value, that is important
-To
get out so her teammate can score
-To
give so someone else didn’t have to go without
-She
chose to be the pig and sacrifice, instead of the chicken and simply contribute
Conclusion
What
sacrifice is God calling you to? Obedience is better then sacrifice
Every
one of us have been called to give all our life
Matt
10-And anyone who does not take up his life and follow me is not worthy of me.
Whoever finds his life will loose it. Whoever looses his life for my sake will
find it
Call
into ministry
Call to
a ministry
A call
to give
Two
statements in conclusion
You
shouldn’t answer this call in accordance to what you have, but in accordance to
what God desires---Obedience
-If God
didn’t call us to sacrifice beyond ourselves nothing great would ever be
achieved for God
You
sacrifice for what you care about
-You can
always measure how much someone cares about something by how much they
sacrifice
-Tells
us a lot about how much Jesus cares about u (you are his most valuable
asset/apple of his eye) sacrificed his only Son
-What
is worth holding back?
What
sacrifice is God calling you to?
-Give
him a chance
-Sacrifice
-Give
everything
