Alienation, Fracture, and Wholeness

What does Paul really mean when he calls Christians to be “a living sacrifice”? Romans 12 challenges everything our culture says about identity, faith, and wholeness. In Romans 12:1, the Apostle Paul calls believers to present their lives as a living sacrifice — but what does that actually mean? In this teaching, we explore: Why sacrifice originally meant death — and why Paul flips the meaning The difference between sacred vs secular and sacred vs profane How modern culture fragments our identity Why Christianity isn’t religion, box-ticking, or Sunday-only faith How the gospel offers wholeness, healing, and integration of life This is not self-help. This is not moralism. This is the radical call of the gospel — all of life lived as worship. 📖 Scripture: Romans 12:1 📍 Filmed at The Embassy @ North Beach, Christchurch 🔔 Subscribe for biblical teaching that engages culture with clarity and grace. 00:00 – What Does “Living Sacrifice” Mean? 02:10 – Sacrifice in the Old Testament 05:20 – Sacred Means “Set Apart” 08:15 – Why Paul Says “Living” Sacrifice 12:40 – Sacred vs Secular (The Western Lie) 18:30 – Religion vs Real Faith 23:45 – Postmodern Identity & Fragmentation 30:20 – Why We Feel Alienated From Ourselves 35:10 – How the Gospel Makes Us Whole 40:30 – All of Life as Worship 45:15 – Big Gospel, Big God 48:30 – The Story That Holds Everything Together Website theembassychurch.co.nz FaceBook facebook.com/profile.php?id=61556336196207 Instagram instagram.com/theembassyatnorthbeach/?hl=en X twitter.com/EmbassyChurchNZ Thinking Faith thinkingfaith.co.nz
