This week's message from Pastor David was a deep dive into understanding sacrifice, specifically through the lens of Hebrews 10. We explored how sacrifice in the Old Testament was not about getting right with God through our own works, but rather about trusting God to handle our brokenness. Pastor David shared a personal story of not making the basketball team in 8th grade, showing us how we often believe hard work can make us 'good enough.' In our relationship with God, however, the reality is that we cannot earn His approval through sacrifice or effort - it's impossible. Instead, Jesus' sacrifice has changed everything, eliminating our sin, enabling us to rest, and empowering us to live out the fruits of the Spirit. The takeaway is simple but profound: trust in Jesus' finished work, not our own. Embrace His rest and allow His sacrifice to transform you from the inside out.
