Godspeak Calvary Chapel

Pastor Micah Stephens delivers a powerful sermon urging believers to live as "living sacrifices" based on Romans 12. He emphasizes that true worship is a willful, daily choice to surrender all aspects of life to God, not out of obligation but in response to His boundless mercy. Drawing from personal anecdotes, like his son Oliver’s football jamboree and his adopted daughter’s life saved through Love Life, Micah connects biblical truth to real-world action, addressing the closure of surgical abortions at Thousand Oaks’ Planned Parenthood and the dangers of Assembly Bill 495. He challenges the congregation to reject cowardice, embrace sacrifice, and live boldly for Christ, aligning with Godspeak’s anchored reading program, which progresses through Romans to deepen faith and cultural engagement. The sermon closes with a call to worship through obedience, reflecting Christ’s ultimate sacrifice.Verse ReferencesMatthew 18:6, Psalm 82:3–4, Revelation 21:8, Romans 7:14–25, Romans 8:1, Romans 12:1, 1 Chronic
