Romans: Transforming Power of the Gospel, Pt. 20 – Living SacrificesRomans 12:1–2 | King's Chapel Live StreamRomans 12 opens with one of the most life-changing calls in the entire Bible. Paul urges us to present our bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God.This call is not about rules or rituals. It is about responding to the mercy of God shown at the cross. Because of what Jesus has done for us, our whole lives are meant to be an offering of worship.Living as a sacrifice means refusing to be shaped by the values of the world. Instead, we are to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. A renewed mind begins to see the world through the truth of Scripture. It helps us discern the will of God and live it out with confidence.This message reminds us that true worship is not just about what we sing on Sunday but how we live every day. If you want to know God's will and live a life that honors Him, Romans 12:1–2 shows the way forward.Connect with King's Chapel in Longwood, FL- ▶️ www.kingschapelfl.com▶️ https://www.facebook.com/KingsChapelfl▶️ https://www.instagram.com/kingschapelfl/For the GLORY of our Great GodFor the GOOD of our NeighborRomans 12 sermon, living sacrifice meaning, transformed by the renewing of your mind, King's Chapel Longwood FL, Romans Bible study, God's will for my life, what is true worship, Paul's letter to the Romans, renewing your mind sermon, gospel centered teaching

Romans 12:3-8 | August 24, 2025 | Taylor Birkhimer
In this week's message, Called and Kept, we hear how God's call is deeply personal and rooted in His eternal knowledge of us. From Jeremiah's story, we learn that God knew us before we were born and equips us even when we feel unworthy or unprepared. Psalm 71 reminds us that the Lord has been our refuge from the very beginning and will continue to sustain us through every season of life. Building on the themes of Ready Hearts, Living Sacrifice and Pilgrims, Not Settlers, this message invites us to trust God's call and lean on His keeping presence.
Romans 12: 9-21 FURTHER DISCUSSION Which of the commands in this passage come easiest to you? Which are the most difficult? In this passage, what is the believer’s role and what is God’s role?

Right between soul fatigue and soul restoration lies the battlefield of your faith. In Part 3 of our Psalm 23 Collection, Pastor Travis Hearn delivers a prophetic “bonus track” message that shakes the very foundations of compromise. Rooted in the sacred words of Psalm 23 and the fiery showdown on Mount Carmel, Don't Bow to Baal is a call to holy defiance—a divine interruption between green pastures and soul restoration. This isn't just another sermon. It's a spiritual wake-up call. With piercing conviction and biblical power, Pastor Travis reveals how the enemy strikes hardest when you're most vulnerable—right after the breakthrough, right after the blessing. Baal may no longer be a statue, but its spirit is alive and thriving in our culture. In the pressures of popularity, comfort, and conformity—will you stand, or will you bow? Drawing from Elijah's confrontation with Baal, Jesus' wilderness temptation, and the unwavering fireproof faith of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, this message ignites courage to stand when everyone else bows. It calls you to rebuild your altar, reignite your fire, and renounce every idol fighting for the throne of your heart. The line has been drawn. No more wavering. No more silence. No more compromise. If you don't bow—you won't burn. The fire isn't your end; it's where God reveals Himself. Welcome to the holy resistance. DON'T BOW TO BAAL.

Responsibility of Believers The message is directed towards church members, highlighting their responsibilities. Romans is full of inexhaustible treasure and truth. Beseeching Believers A call to action based on Romans 12:1-2: Present bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God. This is considered a reasonable service. Do not be conformed to the world. Be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Prove what is good, acceptable, and the perfect will of God. Memories and Inspiration A reflection on attending a communion service at Millers Cove and remembering men of God from the past who preached the Word. These men's teachings made a significant difference. Grace and Responsibility Grace is essential for salvation, and nothing can be added to it. Salvation is by grace through faith, a gift from God, not of works. There is a call to heed what the apostle is trying to convey to believers. The Widow's Offering The story of the widow who gave all she had (two mites) is used as an example. Jesus noticed her sacrifice, while others did not. She gave from her poverty, while others gave from their abundance. This illustrates the concept of giving one's all to God daily as a living sacrifice. Living Sacrifice God needs those who are alive, committed, and sold out to Him. The apostle beseeches believers to understand the importance of this concept for their lives and to bring honor to God. These actions enable believers to experience God's work in their lives. Gifts from God Everyone receives a gift from God when they are saved. This gift can be shared with others, even if it's just a testimony. A good testimony from a heart sold out to God can lead others to salvation and hope. God has given everyone work to do. Urgency and Transformation Beseeching involves urging with conviction. Consciously making an effort to offer oneself daily will transform the heart. God can use anything if it is yielded to Him. Example: Balaam's donkey. Holiness and Consecration In the Old Testament, a lamb had to be pure and spotless for sacrifice. Believers should offer themselves to God as a living sacrifice, willing and ready for His use. Offer something holy, clean, and ready for use, not marred by pride or selfishness. Consecrate oneself to God, repent of sin, and offer something He can use. Spiritual Death and Surrender Physical blood is not required as a sacrifice now, but a spiritual death is necessary. Lay down oneself and allow God to be in control. When one relinquishes control, they can present something living, holy, and acceptable to God. Urgency in Preaching Preaching should be urgent and have conviction. The message is not worldly philosophy but transformative truths from the Word of God. Giving oneself to God daily will transform one's living. Mercies of God It is through God's mercies that believers can even be a sacrifice. God can take what individuals have if they repent and become pleasing to Him. Confessing sins leads to forgiveness and cleansing. Even if one feels they have little to offer, God can use them when they are right with Him. "Little is much when God is in it." Overcoming Hesitation Urging listeners to stop hesitating, procrastinating, and holding back from God. God has given something to do, say, or share. The time for holding back is over; start giving oneself to God. Get holy, get right with God, and be acceptable. Allow the Holy Spirit to search and help release what is hindering. Presenting Your Body Presenting one's body to God as a living sacrifice. God already owns believers, having bought them at Calvary. Believers have a free will and a mind, making them unique. Give it up and let God have it. Living Sacrifice vs. Dead Sacrifice A dead sacrifice has no choice,

Sunday, July 20 2025Romans 12:1-8A Living Sacrifice This section of Romans focuses on how believers, followersof Jesus should live. Instead of what is true or false, Paul shares what is right and wrong. Instead of what should we believe? It is now how we should live. There is a transition from justification, how to be made right before God, to sanctification, how we become more like Jesus. The Christian life is to be an act of worship.

Rev. Dr. Jimmie Hicks, Jr - Senior Pastor at Start Right Church
Are you living as a true sacrifice for God, or are you simply going through the motions? In his powerful sermon, Pastor Jimmie Hicks Jr. reminds us of the significance of being a "living sacrifice," as outlined in Romans 12:1. He emphasizes that our sacrifices must be holy and acceptable to God, contrasting them with the Old Testament's dead sacrifices. Pastor calls the congregation to examine their lives, urging them to discard personal desires and fully embrace the transformative power of Jesus Christ. His unique perspective illustrates that choosing Jesus is more than just a decision; it's a continual commitment to make choices that glorify God. Pastor challenges us to discover and utilize our spiritual gifts—not just for our benefit, but to serve others and build His kingdom. As he passionately stresses, every Christian must navigate spiritual warfare with discernment, or risk being drawn back into the world's temptations. He calls for urgent action: it's time to choose life over death, to fill ourselves with the Holy Spirit and get involved in church initiatives that make a difference. Are you ready to step into your divine purpose? The time is now!
