Opening: As a teen, how did peer

there)? What entertainment (music, TV, movies, parties) did you take in?
Scripture: Read
Romans 12:1-2.

the Text with Your Life:
- Sound familiar? It should. Verse 1 has been our theme verse for our message series “Living Sacrifices.”
- How can you offer your “body” as a living sacrifice?
- What does verse 1 add to your understanding of true worship (also see Romans 6:13 and 8:13)?
- In what ways do you tend to conform to the world? How does the “renewing of your mind” happen (see verse 2)?
- Are you asking any “What’s God’s will for me” questions right now? How can you discern His direction and purpose for you?
Prayer
Focus: That we would be holy and pleasing to God.
