In this message:
- Why you can't serve a God you have no relationship with (Deuteronomy 6:4–9 and the ancient practice of the Shema)
- What it means to be a living sacrifice, and why surrender is harder than it sounds (Romans 12:1–2)
- The difference between obedience and sacrifice, and why God wants one far more than the other (1 Samuel 15)
- What a rescue dog named Amelia reveals about our walk with God - Why availability might be the most underrated act of worship
