“Surrendering to Right Thinking”
Romans 12:1-2

What are you thinking?

Thinking…
	The way we think has an incredible impact on the way we act.
	Just because we act a certain way doesn’t mean that we believe in it.
	Much of what God calls us to do flows out of how God calls us to think.

Romans 12:1-2

“Offer” = Surrender
	Good actions come by surrendering to right thinking

Right Thinking…
	Is a daily action, not a one-time action
	Is not an agreement; it’s abandonment

Path of Action and Thinking
	What > How > Why
	Why > How > What
	Believe > Value > Actions

Results:
	Engages the mercy of God
	Pleases God
	True worship
	Our life exposes God

Surrendering (right thinking) – Luke 5:1-11
Starts by rehearsing daily who is God in our lives
Is believing that Jesus has our best interest in mind
Allows Jesus to interrupt or redirect the areas in which we excel
Brings us into a deeper relationship with Jesus
Gives us opportunities beyond the immediate

Questions to getting us “thinking”
	Are there talents, skills, finances, or possessions that you would like to use differently?
	Do you need to let go of unhealthy people, a place or a habit?
	Is there fear with illness, the future, and the unknown?
	Where do you need to let go of control?
