Romans 12:9-21 The Work of the Christian (Molin)

In just nine verses, Paul tells us how to walk Christianly. There’s nothing in Paul’s list that is new for Christians; nothing there that Jesus didn’t already say. And yet we tend to gloss over it because it is too simple, too obvious for us to concern ourselves with. And what’s on Paul’s list? ....

Romans 12:9-21 Seen the Doctor Lately? (Strayhorn)

Our scripture is the prescription on how to live a holy life. If we were talking about cooking, this would be the recipe. If we were talking about building, this would be the blueprints. But since we're talking about the Great Physician, it's our prescription for Holiness; our prescription for living a life "holy and acceptable to God."

Romans 12:1-8 Living Sacrifices (Bedingfield)

Our time and talent figure in to sacrificial giving just as does our treasure. Think about how you give of your time and how you use your God-given talent. God blesses your work every day, not just on Sundays. How you use the time God has given you is, in Paul’s words, a part of your spiritual worship.

Romans 12:1-8 Rearranged…Or Changed? (Molin)

As ludicrous as it sounds, I want to spend our time this morning making the distinction between the things in this life that are truly changed, and those that are merely rearranged. Specifically, I want to consider whether God has called us to be radically different people in this world, or if rearranged is good enough.

Romans 12:1-2 Becoming an Individual (Bowen)

The problem comes when our very person begins to be shaped by the fads and fancies of the time, by the pressures and prejudices of the crowd, when our most fundamental attitudes are dictated by the press and our values by the polls. “Don’t let the world around you squeeze you into its mold.”

Romans 12:1-2 Dividing the Will of God (Bowen)

Only as we place ourselves at the disposal of a higher will do we enjoy freedom from the pressures of culture and crowd--do we truly become our own person. Life by the will of God is not surrender of our own mind and will. It is in fact liberation of both. Says the old hymn “Make me a captive, Lord, and then I shall be free.”

Romans 10:14 How Can They Hear? (Gerhardy)

Dietrich Bonhoeffer said, "The bearers of Jesus’ word … are now Christ’s fellow workers. … They are to meet those to whom they are sent as if they were Christ himself. They are bearers of his presence. They bring with them the most precious gift in the world, the gift of Jesus Christ." (Cost of Discipleship).
