The Sacrifice of Praise
Sep 10, 2025 • Pastor Ed Pope
The lesson illuminates how praise serves as an essential element in a believer's relationship with God, particularly in the context of the New Testament covenant. It discusses the historical shift from Old Testament ceremonial sacrifices to new covenant offerings of thanksgiving, good deeds, and submission.
Furthermore, the lesson emphasizes the significance of Christ's singular, eternal sacrifice and its implications for Christian conduct, including obeying church leaders and praying for them. The overarching message encourages believers to offer continual spiritual sacrifices that are pleasing to God, reinforced by a benediction of peace and equipping for good works.
