  1. Romans 12:1–8 (ESV) 1I 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. 2Do 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. 3For 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. 4For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, 5so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. 6Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith; 7if service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching; 8the 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.

  3. Romans 12:1-8 1I 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. 2Do 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. 3For 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. 4For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, 5so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. 6Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith; 7if service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching; 8the one who exhorts, in his exhortation; the one who contributes, in generosity; he one who leads, with zeal; the one who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness.

  4. Renewing Your Mind • Being conformed to Christ’s mind is a process that God is continuously taking us through. • When we arrive, we’ll be in heaven. • We must fill our minds with godly things rather than the things of this world. They are like sponges. • What are you filling your mind with? What kinds of things do you watch, listen to, talk about?

  5. The Body Workout • We do things for God as part of our worship. Worship and service are the same word in the Bible. Worship is doing something for God. • The Body of Christ is made up of unique people with unique gifts that the Spirit has given to them. • Although diverse and unique, we work together in unity to serve one another and the world! • Do you know what your gifts are? When’s the last time you used them?
