We explore Romans 12:1–2 and how God’s mercy fuels a life of reasonable worship, surrender, and nonconformity. We move from grace to practice, urging each other to lay a “blank check” before God, renew our minds, and become a church marked by prayerful presence.

• grace before command and why mercy fuels obedience
• living sacrifice as a pre-signed yes to God
• fears about surrender and the risk of wasted days
• worship as a whole-life response, not only singing
• daring distinction from the world’s patterns and values
• renewal of the mind through Scripture and prayer
• eliminating the bad by inserting the good
• discerning God’s will with growing spiritual instincts
• a crossroads for our church between programs and presence
• call to become a praying people who seek God’s face

If you’re in our area and you don’t have a church home, we would love to see you any Sunday morning at First Baptist El Doredo
