  1. The Sacrifice of Our Lips The Privilege of All Christians

  2. Two Challenges for All Christians • Flesh versus the Spirit

  3. Galatians 5:16-17 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh. 17 For the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you please. NASU

  4. Two Challenges for All Christians • Flesh versus the Spirit • Ritual versus Real Worship How can song worship help us to win both of these battles? By Being the Sacrifice of Our Lips

  6. Hebrews 13:10-16 11 For the bodies of those animals whose blood is brought into the holy place by the high priest as an offering for sin, are burned outside the camp. 12 Therefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people through His own blood, suffered outside the gate. 13 So, let us go out to Him outside the camp, bearing His reproach. Privileged Priest Outside the Camp

  7. Hebrews 13:10-16 14 For here we do not have a lasting city, but we are seeking the city which is to come. Privileged Priest Outside the Camp Seeking

  8. Hebrews 13:15-16 15 Through Him then, let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that give thanks to His name. 16 And do not neglect doing good and sharing, for with such sacrifices God is pleased. NASU Privileged Priest Outside the Camp Seeking
