Included | Romans 12
His Body, Our Body
Romans 12 is the description of what happens when God’s mercy overflows in a church’s life. Lifelong attitudes change, love becomes genuine, mocking enemies are not met with equal and opposite force but, quite the opposite, with peace and gentleness. Be praying even now for how God will speak uniquely to your small group.

- Was there an event in your life in which someone showed you mercy? What difference, if any, did that make in your life since then?
- How might a Christian in 2024 offer their body as a ‘living sacrifice’?
- Describe a specific way in which God has 'renewed your mind', maybe changed your thinking or interests or attitudes.
- How has God gifted you to serve? How are you doing at using that gift for the good of others?
- In what specific way is God calling you to ‘active love’. What need(s) are you aware of and how are you moving towards that need?
- Is there a difficult person or situation in your life right now? What would it look like to retaliate in your response to that? And what would it look like to respond "in view of God’s mercy”?
