We all worship. It is central to all that we do; our primary purpose and calling. Worship, therefore, is not an action, but our identity; a lifestyle, not a scheduled event. Worship is not singing, attending church, or performing religious duties. This sermon will challenge us to examine our hearts: What do we truly value? What shapes our decisions and desires?
And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him. 2 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.
