Romans 12:1-2

May 10, 2026    Brad Hainje

In light of the profound mercies of God detailed in the first eleven chapters of Romans, how then shall we live? This week, we reach one of the most pivotal "turning points" in all of Scripture. In Romans 12:1–2, the Apostle Paul transitions from deep doctrine to daily duty, calling every believer to a life of sanctification.


This is more than just a call to "be good"—it is a command to be a "living sacrifice." We explore what it means to stop being squeezed into the mold of this world and instead be transformed by the daily renewal of our minds through the Word of God.


5 Key Themes in This Message:

The “Reason” is because of the mercies of God

The “Response” is to present your body as a living sacrifice

The “Red Flag” is to avoid conformity to the world

The “Right Way” is through the renewal of your mind in cooperation with the Holy Spirit

The “Result” is being able to know and prove God’s good, acceptable, and perfect will
