Put Your Yes on the Table

Romans Part 17 | Put Your Yes on the Table | Romans 12:1–8


Do you ever wonder where you fit in the church—or whether God can really use you?


In Romans 12, Paul reminds us that every follower of Jesus has been uniquely gifted by God and given a meaningful place in the body of Christ. But before Paul talks about spiritual gifts or serving, he begins with surrender. We don’t serve to earn God’s love or acceptance. We serve because of the mercy and grace we’ve already received through Jesus.


In this message, we unpack three truths from Romans 12:


⚓ God gives every believer a gift.

⚓ God gave you a gift for the benefit of someone else.

⚓ Your greatest impact often begins with a simple yes.


The church was never meant to be something we simply attend. God invites us to belong, contribute, serve others, and participate in His mission. You may not know every step God has planned for you, but you can faithfully take the next one.


Grace received becomes grace released.


Maybe your next step is trusting Jesus for the first time. Maybe it’s discovering how God has gifted you, joining a serve team, or simply making yourself available to Him.


You don’t have to figure out the next ten steps. Just take the next faithful one.
