Now, this summer, we've journeyed together to see how the Christian faith has worked out in everyday life.

We've looked at beauty, rest, work, food, friendship, technology, family, employment, prayer, thought lives, and we've been challenged how we invite God into those places and even how we discover how he is already there, calling this series, of course, Ordinary Holy.

But as we come to the end of this summer series, there's one last question that must be asked, one last invitation that we can choose to enter into.

And here's the question I started asking a few months ago as I started preparing to write this sermon.

Is there somewhere in the scriptures that outlines the picture Is there a mirror moment in the scripture that shows us very clearly day in and day out what ordinary holiness looks like over the long run? In other words, is there a spring that feeds the river? Is there a foundation that the whole rest of the house that we've explored all this summer is built on? In other words, beneath the rest and the beauty and the family and the technology and the food, and the employment conversations, is there one small place in scripture that gives us the full radical picture of ordinary holiness? And the answer is yes.

Now, many of you who join us regularly, or maybe you're a guest today, you're not a Christian.

What you're about to experience with us in the next few minutes is one of the most robust pictures of what the Christian faith is, what it promises, and what it calls upon.

And I guarantee by the end of this moment, you will be enthralled, offended, and unsure what to do.

But I want you to stay with us because it is better to know the full picture when you're exploring something.

And we who have already said yes, this is going to be just as challenging because we're going to realize quite quickly that ordinary holiness is much more radical than maybe we want it to be.

So the question is, what does ordinary holiness look like, whether you're 80, 16, 12, or 45? Well, it's found in Romans 12.
