In week two of our series on community, we look at why life with Jesus was never meant to be lived alone. In a world marked by division, heartbreak, and loneliness, the table of Jesus becomes a place where both joy and sorrow are shared, where strangers become family, and where His presence binds us together. Through Mark 14 and Romans 12, we see how the table doesn't just remind us of the gospel—it forms us into a people of grace, hope, and defiant joy.Check out the sermon on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or bridge.tv/sermons.

Romans 12:1-2 English Standard VersionA Living Sacrifice12 I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. 2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.English Standard Version (ESV)The ESV® Bible (The Holy Bible, English Standard Version®), © 2001 by Crossway, a publishing ministry of Good News Publishers.

12 For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. 13 For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves or free—and all were made to drink of one Spirit…21 The eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you,” nor again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.” 22 On the contrary, the parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, 23 and on those parts of the body that we think less honorable we bestow the greater honor, and our unpresentable parts are treated with greater modesty, 24 which our more presentable parts do not require. But God has so composed the body, giving greater honor to the part that lacked it, 25 that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another. 26 If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together.27 Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it. 28 And God has appointed in the church first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, helping, administrating, and various kinds of tongues. Romans 123 For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned. 4 For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, 5 so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. 6 Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith; 7 if service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching; 8 the one who exhorts, in his exhortation; the one who contributes, in generosity; the one who leads, with zeal; the one who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness.1. In what venues or parts of your life do you think status matters to you? Are there any skills, talents, or roles that seem to form too much of your identity?2. Do you get tired of competing for or anxious about losing status or identity?3. Jesus, the Head, gives his life for the members of his Body. How does this interrupt our ideas of status? If everything good in our lives is graced to us by God, even what we work on and for, how does that impact our identity and the ways we compare ourselves?4. Jesus gives his honor to the dishonorable. Do we? How can we do that in church?5. In the Body of Christ, everyone has value, everyone has an important role to play. Do you see that as true for you? What is your spiritual gift (role, function, appointment) for now in your church?
In this lecture, we explore Romans 12:1-2, focusing on the call to offer our bodies as living sacrifices, aligning our lives with God's mercy and will. The discussion initiates with a prayer, setting a reflective tone as participants are invited to engage with the message of transformation through the renewing of their minds. This theme becomes the bedrock for a comprehensive examination of cultural paradigms surrounding relationships, particularly in the context of singleness, marriage, and family.The speaker congratulates attendees for reaching the final session of a series that thoughtfully deconstructs contemporary relationship dynamics through the lens of biblical teaching. A critical assertion is made: the need to resist conforming to the prevailing patterns of our cultural moment, which are often found to be ineffective, as supported by sociological evidence. Instead, a call to be rejuvenated in our thinking through God's guidance is emphasized, fostering a framework for exploring meaningful alternatives to societal norms.Throughout the discussion, we are urged to reflect on the cultural 'fish bowl' that we inhabit, recognizing the various historical contexts in which Christians have navigated their faith concerning relationships. This leads to a series of hypothetical 'small plates'—creative suggestions aimed at prompting thoughtful actions among the audience. Ideas include experimenting with alternative living arrangements that incorporate communal practices, recognizing the often-overlooked valor in celibacy, fostering new environments for dating that prioritize integrity and joy, and advocating for open dialogues around the challenges of marriage, singleness, and parenting.A critical analysis of current relationship paradigms follows, centering around the concept of "confluent love," as coined by sociologist Anthony Giddens. This type of love is characterized by active, contingent relationships that hinge on mutual satisfaction rather than deep-rooted commitment. The implications of such a paradigm are dissected, revealing how it often transforms relationships into transactional experiences, where the worth of companionship is constantly evaluated against personal satisfaction, leading to a potential cycle of abandonment and superficial connections.The lecture then pivots to the Christian understanding of love as modeled by Jesus—an unreserved and sacrificial love that calls for self-giving rather than self-seeking. Through a barrage of New Testament texts, the speaker illustrates that the essence of Christ-like love is one of commitment and transformation, contrasting sharply with the fluidity of confluent love. By exploring how love in the Christian context is inherently linked to the act of giving, participants are invited to reconsider the metrics they apply to their relationships, focusing less on personal gain and more on how they can serve and love others.As the lecture approaches its conclusion, questions are posed about the deeply ingrained societal views on relationships, encouraging attendees to introspectively assess their own prevailing beliefs and approaches. The takeaway emphasizes that understanding and embracing Christ's model of committed love has the power to shift relational dynamics, fostering deeper connections and a more profound intimacy both with God and with others. The concluding message reinforces the idea that our relationship with Christ—the ultimate expression of committed love—should inform and transform all other human relationships.This engaging exploration of relational paradigms ultimately aims to refocus the audience on their foundational relationship with Christ, highlighting that recognizing His unwavering love and commitment provides a liberating framework for all personal relationships. The lecture closes with a heartfelt prayer inviting the Holy Spirit to enrich participants' lives with the transformative love of God.

Podcast from Nfluence Church | Granger, IndianaFeaturing: Dr. David ImesThis week, Dr. David Imes shared a powerful message on the importance of renewing our minds, drawing from Romans 12:2: "Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind so that you may discern what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God."Dr. Imes addressed the struggles many of us face with anxious thoughts and the impact of our thought life on our well-being. He explained that science and faith both affirm our ability to change and grow—our brains are "neuroplastic," meaning they can be reshaped by our thoughts and choices. God has given us the spiritual DNA to become more like Christ, and we are called to take every thought captive, replacing negativity with the truth of God's Word.Key practical steps included:Regularly reading and meditating on Scripture to shape our thinking.Taking time to quiet our minds and listen for God's voice.Speaking God's promises over our lives and others.Remembering that our identity is rooted in Christ, not in fear or past mistakes.Dr. Imes encouraged us to see ourselves as God sees us—loved, forgiven, and empowered to live out His will. As we renew our minds, we not only experience personal transformation but are better equipped to share hope with a hurting world.Let's commit this week to renewing our minds through God's Word and living out our true identity in Christ!Timestamps:01:38 Anxiety in Our Society02:12 Topic Introduction: Renewing Your Mind02:56 Faith, Science, and the Brain03:39 Key Scripture: Romans 12:204:59 Metamorphosis Analogy06:11 Spiritual DNA and God's Promises07:23 Changing the Way We Think08:27 Mind vs. Brain & Neuroplasticity10:00 Conscious and Non-Conscious Thoughts11:00 The Brain's Capacity for Change12:07 How Thoughts Become Physical13:47 Toxic Thoughts and Taking Thoughts Captive14:57 Epigenetics: Science Confirms Scripture16:22 Victim Mentality vs. Renewed Mind17:42 Neurogenesis: New Mercies Every Morning18:34 Faith, Healing, and the Power of Belief20:43 Taking Every Thought Captive21:44 The Power of Choice and Resting the Mind23:06 Quieting the Mind to Hear God24:15 Positive Self-Talk and Identity in Christ25:32 Practical Steps for Renewing the Mind28:10 Confessing God's Word Over Your Life

In this sermon, we explore the Bible's vision of intentional transformation, summarized powerfully in Romans 12:1-2. Every human being is being transformed. Change is not something only religious people seek; it's something every human being seeks. How do God's grace and our purposeful effort fit together in the pursuit of change? That's the question we seek to answer in this sermon.
