1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
Romans 12:1-2
Q & A：
- What is your view on stating that your work is a full time calling from the Lord and how would this affect your ways or attitudes towards your work? With this in mind, discuss how you can release the kingdom of God from the inside out by becoming an outward manifestation of an inward walk of faith, at work, home, church or society. (Philippians 2:13; Romans 12:1-2)
- From Abraham’s circumcision, a calling to become a father of many nations and being tested on sacrificing his promised son Isaac, discuss what you have learnt about God’s callings and the specific tests on those He calls. Explain what it means to be still and seek the Lord, to walk and work in rest, especially when you feel you have fallen to the deep valleys. (2 Corinthians 1:20)
- With God’s calling for Joshua and the Israelites to cross over Jordan to the other side, they were to sanctify themselves and follow the ark of the covenant, discuss how you should respond or do when you are called by God to go to the other side for the next season. (Joshua 3:1-7)
