“Rethink” - April 27, 2025

Listen

handout

rejoice

• Reread Romans 12:1-2. Pray and ask the Holy Spirit to give you ears to hear and rejoice.

• In what specific ways has God been merciful to you? Take time to rejoice this week.

• Consider the “mercies of God” written about in the first 11 chapters of Romans. Read 11:30-36 and rejoice.

reflect

• What do you see in these passages that impresses you about the Father, the Son, or the Holy Spirit? What in these passages is helping you see where you’re in need of spiritual formation (growing into the image of Christ)?

• Consider how easily shaped you are. Consider what you are giving permission to shape you and leave its imprint on you. How are you letting the world disciple you into valuing self and sin over God?

respond

• Is the Holy Spirit prompting obedience from you this week? Take action, tell someone, and invite someone to join you that may be feeling the same prompting.

• If we are to present our bodies (our whole being) to Christ in obedience, what are you holding back? Invite the Spirit and a brother or sister in Christ into repentance and change.

• Redirect your intake from the trash of the world’s content to the truth of the words’ content.

What’s the purpose of this page?

In hearing the weekly Sunday sermons, the seeds of the word of God are being sown in your heart.

We aim to help you water that seed so that you may bear the fruit that comes from repentance and belief in the person and finished work of Jesus Christ.

You may use this privately, with your family, for midweek groups, or an impromptu Bible study with a friend.
