Podcasts about Romans 12

God's mercy deserves a reasonable response. In Romans 12, Paul shows us what that response looks like: offering ourselves fully to God, refusing to be shaped by the world, and allowing Him to transform our minds. Mercy means we don't get what we do deserve; grace means we receive what we don't deserve. When we understand the weight of both, the only reasonable response is a life surrendered to Christ and committed to using our gifts for His glory.   Thank you for listening to the Truth for Today Podcast!

A sermon from our series God's Renewed People on the book of Romans chapters 9-16. Date: 30 November 2025 Speaker: Evan McFarlane Romans 12:9-21 www.stmatthews.com.au/unichurch

In this stirring and deeply encouraging Advent message, Pastor Karl launches the new series The King Has Come with a powerful exploration of the first great gift Jesus brings: hope.Turning to Luke 2 and the quiet, largely forgotten figures of Simeon and Anna, Pastor Karl paints a vivid picture of two elderly saints who spent decades waiting in faithful obscurity—praying unanswered prayers, worshiping through silence, and serving without recognition. Yet the moment a 40-day-old baby was carried into the temple, their Spirit-illuminated eyes saw what the crowds missed: the long-promised Messiah, the Consolation of Israel, the Redemption of Jerusalem.Through their story, Pastor Karl reveals that biblical hope is not wishful thinking; it is the confident, unshakable expectation of future good rooted in the unchanging character and faithfulness of God. Hope grows in the hidden soil of daily faithfulness, thrives when God chooses to work in silence, and celebrates the tiny seed because it already trusts the coming harvest. Simeon and Anna never saw Jesus preach, heal, or rise from the dead—yet they held the infant King and departed in peace, because they knew who He was long before they saw what He would do.A tender yet convicting word for everyone who has waited a long time and is still waiting, prayed a long time and is still praying, and hoped a long time and is still hoping. In a season that can feel rushed and noisy, this message calls us to slow down, stay faithful, and train our eyes to recognize the presence of the King—even when He shows up wrapped in the ordinary, the small, and the seemingly insignificant.Because the King has come, hope is not dead. It is alive, resilient, and bubbling up in every heart that keeps showing up and keeps looking for Jesus. Essential listening for anyone who needs fresh hope this Christmas.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 9:00am & 10:30am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

Romans 12-15

2025-10-26 - Transforming Your Mind & Dealing with Conflict (Romans 12_1-21) by Salvador Flores III

Tim Neale teaches on the sacrifice of the united church. Bible readings from Romans 12:1 & 15:1-16.

Fr. Mike reflects on Stephen's heroic martyrdom and points out how those around him refused to hear him and hardened their hearts, something we too can do with the Word of God. In the book of Romans, Fr. Mike also highlights the importance of offering our bodies as a living sacrifice, responding to the call to love and to not be conformed to this world, and remembering that Christians have been grafted onto the tree of Israel. Today we read Acts 7, Romans 11-12, and Proverbs 27:13-14. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear. Please note: The Bible contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.

God ushers in a way of living together that shows us what genuine love looks like. Genuine love shows hospitality, cares for each other, and honors. Listen in as we learn more about Godly community. thebridgebluffton.com

Series: Living by Faith as the Church Title: A Proper Response Scriptures: 1 Samuel 13:8 - 14 and Romans 12:1 Date: 11.23.2025 Message By: Jorge Rivera

"How does the image of a ""living sacrifice"" connect back to Old Testament sacrifices, and what does it practically look like for a Christian to live as a living sacrifice today? In today's episode, Watermark Community Director, Katie Shemanske, talks about Romans 12-14 and unpacks how we as believers can live out the principles Paul is teaching in these chapters. Katie challenges us in how we live a life surrendered to Christ, love one another, and find our satisfaction in Christ alone. Additional references: 1 John 2:15-16; Ephesians 6; Galatians 6:2; John 13:34; Galatians 5:13-26; Galatians 5:; 1 John 4:7-8; You can also check out the Join The Journey Jr. Podcast: Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/join-the-journey-junior/id1660089898 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6SG7aaE1ZjjFkgB34G8zp3?si=c960a63736904665 Check out the Join The Journey Website for today's devotional and more resources! https://www.jointhejourney.com/ Amazon Storefront: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Watermark-Community-Church/author/B0BRYP5MQK?ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1&qid=1755623322&sr=8-1&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=true&ccs_id=8aeeec3b-6c1c-416d-87ae-5dfbbb6981df Check out the Romans Study Sheet! https://assets.ctfassets.net/t8fa2ob1jrlx/5s8w4Q1S8mV7rYF9xDMTce/be2eb8581330ab60913b8af592a6a543/45-Romans-Study-Sheet.pdf"

Join us tonight as special speaker Royce Braggs takes us through several scriptures to see how these three questions about surrender are answered: 1) How does scripture instruct us regarding surrender to God? 2) How have we resisted and refused to surrender to God? 3) How do we surrender in the Christian life and what does that look like? May the Lord bless you and keep you!

As believers in Jesus, we are given gifts from the Holy Spirit. These gifts are given to help serve the body of Christ. Listen in to learn more about those gifts. thebridgebluffton.com

“Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.” (Romans 12:2 NLT) A flock of wild geese was flying south for the winter. One goose looked down and noticed a group of domestic geese by a little pond near a farm. He noticed that the domestic geese had plenty of grain to eat. Life seemed relatively easy for them. So, he flew down and hung out with the geese until spring. He enjoyed their food, their company, and their leisurely pace. His plan was to rejoin his flock of geese when they flew north again. When spring came, he heard his flock overhead and flew up to join them. But he had grown a bit fat from all the seed he had eaten. Flying was difficult for him. So, he decided to spend one more season on the farm and then rejoin his flock on its next winter migration. When the geese flew south the following fall, the goose flapped his wings a little, but he just kept eating his grain. He had simply lost interest. This is an ideal illustration of how the world influences believers. Usually, there’s no single dramatic event that transforms us. The process doesn’t happen overnight. Instead, it occurs gradually. Like the goose, we may be going about our business, doing what we’re supposed to do, when something catches our eye. Something that looks more appealing. Something that requires less effort. We get distracted. We temporarily suspend what we’re supposed to be doing to investigate. And we like what we see—often because it appeals to our old nature. And if we start to feel guilty about abandoning what we’re supposed to be doing, we rationalize. We tell ourselves that the sidetrack is only temporary—that we’ll soon return to what we’re supposed to be doing. Unfortunately, our best intentions get lost in the convenience or excitement of the sidetrack. Soon, the things of God—the things we’re supposed to be doing—become less appealing to us, and the things of this world become more appealing. After a while, we lose all interest in the things of God. The apostle Paul understood this process all too well. He saw it happen to one of his trusted Christian companions. In his last letter to Timothy, he wrote, “Demas has deserted me because he loves the things of this life” (2 Timothy 4:10 NLT). That’s why Paul warned the believers in Rome, “Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect” (Romans 12:2 NLT). We have a choice: Either we will be conformed to this world, or we will be transformed by the renewing of our minds. It’s one or the other. The question is, which way will you go? Reflection question: Which worldly influences present the biggest challenge for you?

The Gospel Story: Be A Joyful Living Sacrifice Romans 12:1-2 by Beersheba Church

Romans 12 | Living Well with One Another | Matt Hemsley | November 16, 2025 Romans 12 shows what a transformed, Spirit-filled life looks like — a life of genuine love that rejects evil, pursues the good of others (even enemies) and resists judgment or revenge.

In this sermon, Pastor Nathan teaches about the core value of community, which refers to sharing life with the body of Christ. Pastor asks us to consider: “what is your next step?” Pastor reads the Scripture passage and preaches that God made us one body in Christ. So: 1-Surrender to God's mercy, 2-Participate in the […]

This is the message from our Thursday evening service on 11/13/2025 with Bill Buffington.

Today’s Bible Verse:“Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.” — Romans 12:12 Paul gives us a three-part rhythm for steady faith in chaotic seasons: hold onto hope, stay patient when life squeezes tight, and keep praying even when answers feel slow. This verse reminds us that spiritual endurance isn’t about pretending everything’s fine—it’s about anchoring ourselves to the God who is. When joy wavers, hope carries it. When pressure rises, patience steadies us. And through it all, prayer keeps our hearts in step with His. “Want to listen without ads?

In some form or fashion, everyone has wondered if there was a plan for their life. When we believe in God, we will then ask what His plan is for my life. Today we see that when we live a lifestyle like Romans 12 describes, it will help us see God's will. thebridgebluffton.com

Romans 12:14-21 | Pastor Ed Packinghouse's Sunday morning worship service from November 9, 2025. Paul calls believers to a Spirit-empowered life that's humanly impossible without God: bless persecutors, rejoice with the joyful, and weep with the hurting. He contrasts knee-jerk reactions with thoughtful, Spirit-led responses. We're to cultivate humility—“associate with the humble,” avoid being “wise in our own opinion,” and keep churches open to all sinners because grace is for everyone. Don't repay evil for evil; as far as it depends on you, pursue peace. Leave vengeance to God; instead, do practical good to enemies (feeding, giving drink), which brings conviction (“coals on the head”), not harm. The refrain is grace over retaliation—“not by might… but by My Spirit” (Zech. 4:6). Illustrations reinforced empathy (rejoicing/weeping, ancient tear bottles), humility, and non-retaliation, and the message closed with an invitation to surrender to Christ. - Ed Rea - Sunday, November 9, 2025

Listen to a special standalone message from our Family Minister, Brad Marvine! 

In Romans 12:9–13, Paul paints a picture of love that doesn't just feel—it acts. This message invites us to move from being guests to becoming hosts, from attending church to embodying the welcome of Jesus in everyday life. When we love sincerely, notice intentionally, and practice radical hospitality, the gospel moves from our gatherings into our neighborhoods.To support this ministry and help us continue our God given mission, click here: http://bit.ly/2NZkdrC Support the show

Welcome to the Daily Disciple Podcast. As daily disciples, we seek to adore and follow Jesus, our teacher, into the abundant life that he offers. Because we find Jesus irresistible, fascinating, and incredibly practical, we want to be students of his scripture. Today's episode is found in Romans 12 "Understated"

“For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function, so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another. Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them.” (Romans 12:4–6 NKJV) If you’re serious about becoming a strong and mature believer, you need to be plugged into your church in a meaningful way. Sometimes people treat churches like restaurants—with a consumer mentality. “There’s no reason to go to that church. We just went there two weeks ago. Let’s try another one instead.” But the church is not a restaurant. The church is a family, and you need to be a part of the family. You also need to engage. Maybe one of the reasons some people feel as though they aren’t getting enough out of church is that they attend intermittently and don’t commit themselves. But if they would settle in and become a part of what God is doing, it would change for them. If you’ve been attending a church for more than a couple of years, then you ought to be involved in a ministry of some kind. You may not be called to preach, but there are lots of other things to do. There is something for everyone. The Bible tells us, “For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function, so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another. Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them” (Romans 12:4–6 NKJV). It’s fine to come and be served in the church. But there must come a point when you grow up, spiritually speaking, and decide to start serving. To be more active and less passive in your approach to church. If you do, you’ll find that your church experience changes dramatically for the better. And not just for you, but also for your fellow church members. Whether you realize it or not, you have something important to contribute to your local body of Christ. God has blessed you with a unique set of skills. If you don’t use them, it’s not fair to Him. It’s not fair to yourself. And it’s not fair to the people in your church who would be blessed by them. You can make a difference in your church, so you should make a difference. If you want to grow in your relationship with Christ, don’t think of the church as them; think of it as us. Be a part of the family. Take the gifts that God has given you, develop them, and use them for His glory. Church will completely change for you if you stop coming as a spectator and instead join the team. Reflection question: How can you become more engaged and involved in your church?
