Romans 12: When Worship Becomes a Way of Life

We just closed a long, slow walk through the Shepherd theme Psalm 23, John 10, John 20. We stayed long enough to feel it, not just understand it. And now the question is: where do you go after the Shepherd has comforted you, called your name, and gathered you back?

You go to the place that shows you what the Shepherd forms in you over time.

Romans 12.

In this episode of Formation to Transformation | A Worship Devotional, we set the table for a new month walking through Romans 12 one verse at a time. Paul spent eleven chapters telling you what God has done. Now he starts telling you what a mercy-formed life looks like from the inside. And right at the front, he uses worship language. Not worship as a genre. Worship as a life.

This is the thread for the season ahead. Singing matters it always has. But singing is a slice. Romans 12 gives you the whole. Worship in your body, your mind, your relationships, your speech, your generosity, your humility, your endurance, your peacemaking, and your refusal to repay evil for evil.

If you're tired, this is for you. If you've felt scattered, this is for you. If you've loved worship as music but you're hungry for worship as wholeness this is for you.
