Follow Me: The Inclusivity of the Call - Ken Wetmore Jesus’ call to follow is not a “one-size-fits-all” endeavor, as demonstrated by his conversation with Mary and Martha.

Follow Me: The Cost, Part II - Ken Wetmore What happens when the cost is too much? What happens when Jesus asks for something that we think is too precious to give? Many of us look at the story of the rich young ruler and write the young man off. Jesus didn’t. What is impossible for humans is still possible for God. This week one of our #WholeLifeReflections asked: What is your greatest earthly treasure that if Jesus asked you to give it away and follow Him, it would be a difficult decision? Let...

I'm On My Way to the Canaan Land - Furman Fordham, Jr. Salvation is both delivering out of (justification) and bringing into (glorification), which like the Hebrew’s journey from Egypt to Canaan, includes being taken through (sanctification). Strange things happen, however, as we are going through—things like yearning to return to Egypt. But praise God, another strange thing that happens as we go through is that our faithful God doesn’t give up on me or you! Let us know your thoughts by reaching...

Arise to Christmas: Arise to an Unexpected Savior - Ken Wetmore Sometimes we find the greatest love in the most unexpected places. Surely, as the shepherds, magi, and others viewed Jesus, they must have felt surprised that Israel’s Messiah was a helpless baby born into a poor family. However, this is how God loved this world, He gave His only Son so that anyone willing to embrace the unexpected will be embracing the Giver of Life. One of our #WholeLifeReflections this week asked: What keeps you ...

Arise to Christmas: Arise to Unexpected Decisions (The Malingering Magi) - Ken Wetmore Throughout the Christmas story we encounter people who are called to arise to faith. The Magi are one of the greatest examples of this. They exhibited faith by believing the Scriptures and following a star to Jesus. They showed their faith through the gifts they brought. They acted in faith to leave by a different route when told to do so by God in a dream. This Christmas, arise to have faith in the Messiah's ...

Arise to Christmas: Arise to Unexpected Blessings (Elizabeth & Zechariah) - Ken Wetmore Jesus' first Advent was foretold by prophecy and was the hope of Israel. Zechariah and Elizabeth longed for the Messiah but also ached for a child of their own. Little did they know that, even after they had given up hope for that child, God had not forgotten them. In meeting their longing for a child, God would also provide for the preparation and arrival of the Messiah. Unexpected blessings, indeed. Thi...

Arise to Thanksgiving - Ken Wetmore It's Thanksgiving, so it's that time of year when we count our blessings. However, is the way we usually count our blessings the full extent of what God means when the Bible tells us to be thankful? Is it possible God is calling us to arise to a fuller expression of thankfulness? Our #WholeLifeReflections this week were both so crucial to the message that we included them both: Who in your life are you grateful for that has never heard you express your gratitu...
