ROMANS 12:9-21 – THE VOCATION OF RIGHTEOUSNESS – DOING

Do you know, Oh Christian, you’re a sermon in shoes?

Do you know, Oh Christian, you’re a sermon in shoes?

Jesus calls upon you, to spread the gospel news,

So walk it, and talk it.

Live it, and give it.

Teach it, and preach it.

Know it, and show it.

A Sermon in Shoes.

(Ruth Harms Calkin)

In Matthew 5:14-16 Jesus basically tells us the same thing, we are to live out our Christian faith so others can see it! We need to do it!

  • The Vocation of Righteousness – Romans 12
  1. Dedication – Vss. 1-2
  2. Discernment – Vss. 3-8
  3. Doing – Vss. 9-21 – Sermons in Shoes.

Actually, in this passage I see four sermons we should preach by doing as we live out our lives daily.

SERMON ON LOVE – Romans 12:9-10

  • 9 – Sincere love (without hypocrisy) hates evil and loves good.
  • 10 – Show brotherly love that honors others above ourselves.

SERMON ON ENTHUSIASM – Romans 12:11-13

SERMON ON INTERACTION – Romans 12:14-16

SERMON ON GRACE – Romans 12:17-21

  • Grace is treating others better than they treat us.
