Bible Text: Romans 12 | Preacher: Kris MacQueen | Series: When Deep Calls to Deep | Let us consider, wholeheartedness is Christ. Jesus, as always, is our centre and our vision. Jesus, who sometimes wrestled but never hesitated. Jesus, who weighed the cost but never withheld. Jesus, who stared down the scariest pathways but never flinched. Jesus, who could have claimed the whole world as his own, yet gave Himself for the sake of that world.

What would our lives look like if we lived into the promises and invitations of the Kingdom without reservation?

Romans chapter 12 presents itself almost as a kind of practical manifesto for living a wholehearted life. This startling passage of scripture describes a flurry of God-empowered activity. It speaks directly to the practice of the wholehearted life: Love of God, love of self, love of the Church, love of neighbour, and even love of enemy.
