Renew: Spiritual Transformation

4 Weeks

Big Idea of the Series

God is God of all, and all must find salvation in God’s Son, Jesus Christ. It’s the essence of Paul’s message in the first eleven chapters of his letter to the church in Rome, and it is why we put our faith in Jesus Christ as Lord. Then, with Romans 12:1–2 comes a pivot point. “Therefore” (12:1) turns us from the “why” to the “what.” Why do we put our trust in Jesus, so much that we’re willing to turn our lives upside down and inside out for him? Because he is Lord. Now, what does that mean for how we live in the world? Renewal. In this four-week series, we discover how Romans 12–16 describes in sometimes uncomfortable detail just what it means: renewal of who we are, of what we do, with whom we do it, and of that to which we look forward.

Using This Series Guide

What is the Series Guide?

The Series Guide is a comprehensive resource designed to help you lead your congregation through this sermon series. It includes weekly sermon outlines, discussion questions, and key theological insights to support your teaching preparation.

Each guide has been thoughtfully crafted to provide you with both depth and flexibility as you prepare your messages.

This series includes 4 weeks of content.

What is the Series Guide Not?

The Series Guide is not a word-for-word sermon script. It's not meant to replace your own study and preparation, but rather to complement it with additional resources and structure.

It also doesn't include all media assets - those are available in the downloads section.

How Do I Use this Series Guide?

We recommend starting with the series overview to understand the big picture themes. Then, for each week, review the scripture passages, main points, and illustrations provided.

Use the discussion questions for small groups or to spark your own thinking. Feel free to adapt any content to fit your congregation's specific needs and context.
