Sold Out

Dr. Joel StephensJanuary 4, 2026Sermons

Passage: Deuteronomy 15:12-18

What would make someone willingly give up their freedom—forever?
In this powerful New Year devotion, we unpack a surprising Old Testament ceremony and discover a deeper question: What kind of Master is worth being “sold out” for?

As resolutions fade and commitments waver, Scripture points us to a better way of living—total devotion to Christ. From Deuteronomy 15, we see a servant who freely chooses lifelong service because of love, trust, and joy. That picture leads us straight to Jesus.

In this message, you’ll be challenged to consider what it truly looks like to be SOLD OUT to Christ, marked by:
Cheerful Surrender – yielding your plans as worship
Open Identification – living unashamed of Jesus
Unlimited Service – no margins, no conditions
Complete Dependence – trusting a Master who gave everything for you

As we step into a new year—and the rest of our lives—the question isn’t “What will I try to do better?” but “Who am I fully committed to?”
