Summary
The central message is that God desires a believer's entire body, not just financial offerings or tithes. The speaker draws parallels between Old Testament rituals (like the lamb and the Red Sea crossing) and Christ's life and sacrifice, arguing that the ultimate offering required is self-surrender to God's will. Believers must understand that their physical actions and choices—how they use their eyes, tongue, and body—will be accounted for at the judgment seat of Christ.

What does God want instead of offerings?God does not want traditional offerings, but asks us to present our bodies to Him as seen in Romans and Hebrews.Hebrews 10:5Romans 12:2
A shortage of righteous peopleGod has no shortage of money in the universe, but He has a great shortage of righteous people on earth.
Disobedience in the small thingsJust as children disobey in small everyday matters, Christians often disobey God in small things rather than massive sins.
Coming to do God's willJesus came with a prepared body to do God's will rather than offering mere sacrifices, establishing a new covenant.
You cannot bribe God with moneyPeople cannot use financial offerings to bribe God into letting them use their bodies however they please.
Appearing at the judgment seat of ChristOne day we will all appear before Christ's judgment seat to be rewarded or punished for what we did in our bodies.2 Corinthians 5:10
Giving an account for every careless wordJesus warns that people will give an account on the day of judgment for every useless, careless word they speak.Matthew 12:36–37
The videotape of memoryEvery action, spoken word, thought, and attitude is recorded in our memory and will be played back on the day of judgment.
The danger of ignoring your conscienceContinually telling your conscience to shut up leads to spiritual leprosy where you no longer sense sin.
