Romans 12:1-8, Pastor Kara Lee

Our Associate Pastor, Kara Lee, walks us through Romans 12:1-8 and the importance of practicing being present with God. 

A few sermon notes:
"Neuroplasticity is the brain’s ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural pathways throughout life and in response to experiences. While the brain usually does this itself in response to injury or disease, when humans focus their attention enough, they can slowly rewire these pathways themselves." (Grace Weintrob,  Columbine Health Systems Center for Healthy Aging) 

"As we practice pursuing the presence of God, studying His word, and praying on a continuum, we build new neuropathways.  As the saying in neuroscience goes, "neurons that fire together, wire together."  The more we practice something, the more we strengthen the pathways and the easier the skill becomes." (Lauri McNair, MS)

"The author does not simply say that it will not be shaken but that it cannot be shaken. It has a quality found in nothing earthly. The kingdom is something we "receive." It is not earned or created by believers; it is God's gift."
