Relentless ACT:S of Sacrifice

posted by February 22nd, 2012

This Lent, join us for Relentless ACT:S of Sacrifice—a series of creative challenges to explore what it looks like to put others before ourselves in our day-to-day lives.

Each week, ACT:S will be posting a video and a challenge to inspire you to live sacrificially in your everyday lives.

Get Started with your FIRST CHALLENGE here or learn more below.

Get Started with your FIRST CHALLENGE here.

Here are the 6 challenges we’ll be doing together:

Week 1- Sacrifice what surrounds us by re-creating our physical environments to bring important issues to the forefront of our every day lives.
Week 2- Sacrifice what feeds us by expanding our worldview through the food and information we take in.
Week 3- Sacrifice what describes us by re-examining how we represent ourselves and our priorities to others.
Week 4- Sacrifice what calls us by using our unique talents to fight injustice.
Week 5- Sacrifice what consumes us by re-orienting our everyday activities to activities that help make change in the world.
Week 6- Share our sacrifice with others by applying what we’ve experienced to being a creative activist and make issues come to life for others around us.

We can’t wait to begin this journey with you and explore what it will look like for us to sacrifice together!

So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you. Romans 12:1-2
