Dr. Drummond discusses that we can all be used by God according to His will (14:17-16:31). He provides a brief summary of the first eleven chapters of Roman (16:32-20:36). He then considers chapter 12 and speaks of surrendering our bodies to God—to give all that we are to Him (20:37-23:43). Dr. Drummond expresses Paul’s teachings within these two verses: do not conform to this world, but transform through the renewing of the mind so that we can see with God’s eyes (23:44-29:31). He explains that the purpose of these verses is to prove what is the will of God (29:32-29:56). He refers to the biblical story of when the prophet Samuel had to correct King Saul for his disobedience of God’s will (29:57-32:09). Obeying God’s will is what really matters in life (32:10-32:40). Dr. Drummond pledges to do the will of God, though he knows he will sometimes make mistakes, and challenges the congregation to do so as well (32:41-35:10). He concludes with a word of prayer (35:11-36:12).
