Dave Brereton contrasts outward religiosity with genuine faith through his exposition of Romans 2:17-29. He warns against relying on religious habits, traditions, or heritage as substitutes for true relationship with God, emphasizing Paul’s teaching that spiritual authenticity is defined not by external signs like circumcision or baptism but by inner renewal through the Holy Spirit.

Medjiko Tchougboui teaches that Romans 12 marks a turning point where God’s mercy leads believers to offer their whole lives as living sacrifices in grateful response to grace. He explains that this surrender transforms how Christians relate to God, see themselves with humility, and live in interdependent community through the faithful use of diverse spiritual gifts. The sermon calls the church to resist conformity to the world and instead display a renewed life that reflects Christ through sacrificial service and unity.
