“Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. 17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.” Ephesians, 5:15-17

Question #1: What does God want from my life?

“One thing I ask from the LORD, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the LORD and to seek Him in His temple.” Psalm 27:4

“…give yourselves completely to God, for you were dead, but now you have new life.

So use your whole body as an instrument to do what is right for the glory of God.”

Romans 6:13b (NLT)

“This is what the Lord your God wants you to do: Respect the Lord and do what

He has told you to do. Love Him. Serve the Lord your God with your whole being.”

Deuteronomy 10:12 (NCV)

“No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.” Matthew 6:24

App: What will be your #1? (ref. Matthew 22:2–14, Luke 14:16–24)

Question #2: What does it take?

“…train yourself to be godly.” 1 Timothy 4:7b (ref. The Message)

Challenge: exercise daily in God

“…let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith.” Hebrews 12:1b-2 (ref. Luke 10:40-42)

Question #3: Why should I do it?

Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies

as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.

Romans 12:1
