a living sacrifice

"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. 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." (Romans 12:1-2)

Over the next 5 weeks, we're going to take time to look at what God says about worship... about why we worship Him and how we are to worship Him. We'll look at how the big call to worship God with everything we do every day applies in a concentrated way to specifically what we do at church on Sunday. I'm excited about the way this can fuel our faith
to apply what we just learned in our series on faith from James "... no human being can tame the tongue... With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse people who are made in the likeness of God. From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so." (James 3:8-10)

Let's look forward to the ways over this next month that God wants to transform both our everyday worship AND our Sunday worship together!
