It doesn't particularly if we talk about it when it happened was big 100 years ago the word responsibility when you can really dig in our culture, but what happened was as people's individual rights, and things like women weren't able to go and people of color were impressed in slavery and Jim Crow and do what happened when people started to see wait a minute. We need to have it. It looks nice building with the rights of the individual. What our culture has gone now and we're basically forgot about that word responsibility. And I'm only focused on my right is right and do what you have and you have people who are not able to be in a relationship together. They have no sense of whether due to years of age.

Minion password. I enjoy your different season for the church is actually hard to get people to like pay attention to this morning. What you doing? Are you series called forms and flourished and the point of the series. It's just things that warm up.
And then how does God use that when we give ourselves over to the king? sushi on 74th Street Too formal for us choosing the path of drives our series laptop last week. We talked about choosing Joy. I need a cheaper choosing to enjoy Jesus. I'm so ready for you to set your affections by Jesus. And I was thinking about it this week in one braid question. You can ask yourself is how can I enjoy Jesus today? Or maybe someone else? Maybe that's a great question a great discussion question. How can you do? Today, we're going to talk a little bit more in this series. specifically about choosing to worship Jesus Jesus Show me praying that all read Romans + 12 + 1.
Or Jesus be off that you would she ask that you would have normally we know that you have the best for us. Call us under the Abundant Life that might look so much different than the message. Yep. It's a wiener here today cuz we want you to change out some shape us and transform us and make us more like you. You the most alive human That Ever Walked the face of the Earth? Because you were not confused and you were the guy only got 20 minutes so we can trust you and you have to do in shape us today, but all got 20 full set.
Romans 12:1 through 2 in your listening to the word worship. They're more brothers and sisters in view of the mercies of God. I heard you to present your bodies at the Living Sacrifice. Holy and pleasing to God. This is your true worship. Do not conform to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind so that you may discern. What is the good pleasing and perfect will of God God's word Friday in Virginia, and I celebrated the 16 years of marriage.
I do know it when I got married. I had moved around several different cities. I had lived in England. So I'm kind of used to like you doing my own thing, you know, just kind of figured out and I went you know, and it's funny when you getting married cuz you have this new reference point for everything. You know, what is no longer me this week and there's this pool on your life where you can't make decisions on your own. There's a gravity to everything you do another person. And now that you have become one at 1037 this way I'm no longer myself by myself. I'm attached to another and there's something about that marriage that becomes weightier than me just being by myself.
informed everything that you do every decision you make it if it changes you and you have to think about and if you're not going to follow room Jesus that might that image might help you understand a little bit more of what it's like to be a follower of Jesus. That when you if you follow me, I mean, you're no longer Yourself by yourself. There's something about your relationship with him that changes everything. It's a different reference point. Every decision becomes a different kind of decision. There's a pool on your life music.
New life as you're chewing with me. And not wait in your life is now. Abortion right here you're not.
You're worshipping him and so everything about your mind cheese. How much is gravitational pull towards town? Don't want to talk about the word worship. We tend to First think of a music style. Right like we sing worship music and we start talking about worship. Style of worship for expressive of worship. I can't help but think of some of the characters from The Muppets Sam people in the album play some Elvis music.
How many do you make a Joyful Noise unto the Lord in class, but you know some people worship a little bit more internally like San Diego and some people all over the place like the animal music style in the lifestyle. Music style and worshipping together is an hour. We spend together on Sunday. But there's a whole another 167 hours in a week where we live out our worship Jesus. And I find the farm too often. Our arms new abortion is like it doesn't really get the gravity of walking view of worship is often far too. But I think we should wait just like my relationship with my wife. It wasn't something flip it that I could just get her into worship is Wayne. First one. First by saying present your bodies as a Living Sacrifice. Holy and pleasing to God. Do it in the language do the Jews who would have lived in Rome would have heard something as Paul wrote these words to them that they would have heard the worship that happened at the temple sacrifice for the atonement of righteousness must be satisfied. His Justice cannot be subsided Heart of Worship. What's that? They would Brandon short animals to the temple that the priests would sacrifice to atone for their sins. And as they watched this happen What would go through their line was someone has to die for me in order for atonement.
What were United in this person who sacrifices? Jesus Christ died on the cross for us. He was the final atonement. Offered himself to atone for our sins. He chose to Die the death of deserve to die. So they find the standard mileage. To wait on the bubble worship worship is waiting because there's the weight of dying when it comes to worship. But Jesus did the dying so that we could live out for sure. The Weeknd What is moss a Living Sacrifice that we are through Jesus's resurrection you and I come to New Life and do one day. We will enter the great. We will not stay there longer alive. Our job are wool as followers of We were live. 2 * 4 that we present our bodies as a Living Sacrifice. When are you not living your life?
So every moment is an opportunity to worship do for us as Christians worship isn't just one more thing Worship Is Everything. We should do everything it touches every area that you're trying and in your money and your energy can it affect your private life and your work like your whole life your sex life. How about the fact that Paul uses the word bodies here? I worship God with my heart even though I don't always do what he says. Apartment see where she went.
How are you living your life not in Conformity to lose?
Call Tim baby everything out. Joosten. Just love us with his heart. He loves us with his body.
Price for you and for me, so we're called 2% or bodies as a Living Sacrifice In Worship. Worst ship worth should not be anxious in English word that worship comes from work. Show me worship is about once worth when you worship something you worship them because they are worthy. There's a gravity to there's a way to who they are. It's okay. Yes. Jesus is really who he said he is as we prayed in Colossians what if you can get into the invisible? Getting beat out of you coming back.
Because he's worthy.
1% finally challenging in mind that isn't Jesus is Worthy of all My Worship. What am I stopped doing recently? simply worship like what am I supposed to do. out of worship for Jews or what am I started doing? I do Porsche for Jesus. Am I loving my kindness because of worship for Jesus by saying do do I got this dude about a warship? my being generous
then contact me forget to wait for worship as we ask ourselves.
the weight of worship fresh Beauty We live in a time where people are feeling like everything is meaningless. Give me so much that we can out I could hear you. I've been at the snap of a finger I can get on an app and I couldn't have someone bring us all food and ammo.
Swipe right or swipe left that yes or no. Do we live in this area cuz are willing

Weather has to do with our relationship or Identity or how we obey Jesus everything.

too often people looked that we can use to worship God and brown and they look to them in worship.
That's going to cannot hold the meaning of the way to worship. But when we worship God and we use the things he's giving us the people we put in our lives we use them as often choose to worship Him.
All of a sudden life is full of meaning.

I meant to bring you the challengers. Your bodies as a Living Sacrifice, holy. Fully pleasing to God that is because God has called us out of the domain in darkness and he's forgiven us for now called the live out of that new ID. When I'm hoping you do differently than other people were calling me a little weird by most people's standards because our reference point for like in the culture rather than is what Jesus says is who he is afraid of dolphins legalistic that we don't call ourselves to a holy life.
We tend to just adopt the cultural care. Worship and what is it? I love that Paul says fully and pleasing to God. Should I go to the agency appeasing to you? If you had said holding an appeasing to God what that words would have been is if you worship God you will atone for your sins and you will get caught out here.
