Listen now
Description
In this sermon, we’ll delve into Romans 12:1-2, where Paul lays out a profound call for believers to live wholly consecrated lives. Drawing on Paul’s urging, we’ll consider what it means to present ourselves as “living sacrifices.” Such a life, devoted and set apart, is the truest form of worship, far beyond rituals or ceremonies. Paul further calls us to resist the pull of worldly thinking. Rather than letting our minds be molded by fleeting worldly values, he implores us to seek the ongoing renewal of our minds. This transformation leads us to discern God’s will, which is always good, acceptable, and perfect. In these verses, Paul reveals a life of true spiritual vitality: one where believers forsake the world’s ways and embrace God’s transforming work in their hearts. This is the journey of walking in alignment with His purposes, a path marked by peace and fulfillment that only He can give. Join us as we unpack this rich and timeless call to a life surrendered and renewed in Christ.
