Overflow - WholeLife’s Theme for 2025

When we arise, follow Jesus, and connect with Jesus and our community, it creates overflow. The blessings that we are experiencing begin blessing all those we come in contact with, and soon, we are part of a community that overflows into the world around them.

On this last Sabbath of 2024, we'll look back on the spiritual journey we have been on this year. We'll reflect on the sermon series and the theme of Connected. At the end of the sermon, there will be an opportunity for you to share how God has helped you connect with Him and others in 2024.

Origins: The Origin Story

We conclude our Origin Series this Sabbath with "The Origin Story." Ken will make a case for which Gospel (Matthew, Mark, Luke, or John) has the best Jesus' origin story and why it's the best. Be at WholeLife this Sabbath to be reminded of how much God loves us and how Christmas is just one of the reminders of that love.

Origins: Peace

The Cambridge Dictionary defines Peace as "freedom from war and violence, especially when people live and work together happily without disagreements...." If this is the definition, is it possible to have peace in this world? The Christmas story suggests the answer is yes. This week at WholeLife's annual Christmas Celebration that includes our choirs, band, and orchestra we'll celebrate together that the baby born in Bethlehem is the origin story for our peace in a chaotic world.

Origins: Bad Apples on the Family Tree

Our origin stories don't really start with us. They begin with the people who came before us. In some cases, they gave us their DNA. In other cases, they provided the nurture that would influence us eventually. Jesus' genealogy in Matthew 1 and Luke 3 is often brushed over quickly or completely ignored, but it is an important part of the origin story.

Dominion: The Den

As we conclude our series on the first six chapters of Daniel we will reflect on the purpose of these stories. Daniel 6 is a beautiful conclusion to the story of Daniel. It allows us to think about what this story and the preceding five stories are really trying to tell us.

Thanksgiving.

 Ella Wheeler Wilcox

1850-1919

We walk on starry fields of white

  And do not see the daisies;

For blessings common in our sight

  We rarely offer praises.

We sigh for some supreme delight

  To crown our lives with splendor,

And quite ignore our daily store

  Of pleasures sweet and tender.

Our cares are bold and push their way

  Upon our thought and feeling.

They hand about us all the day,

  Our time from pleasure stealing.

So unobtrusive many a joy

  We pass by and forget it,

But worry strives to own our lives,

  And conquers if we let it.

There’s not a day in all the year

  But holds some hidden pleasure,

And looking back, joys oft appear

  To brim the past’s wide measure.

But blessings are like friends, I hold,

  Who love and labor near us.

We ought to raise our notes of praise

  While living hearts can hear us.

Full many a blessing wears the guise

  Of worry or of trouble;

Far-seeing is the soul, and wise,

  Who knows the mask is double.

But he who has the faith and strength

  To thank his God for sorrow

Has found a joy without alloy

  To gladden every morrow.

We ought to make the moments notes

  Of happy, glad Thanksgiving;

The hours and days a silent phrase

  Of music we are living.

And so the theme should swell and grow

  As weeks and months pass o’er us,

And rise sublime at this good time,

  A grand Thanksgiving chorus.

Dominion: The Hand

In Daniel 5, we are introduced to a new ruler of Babylon who literally sees the writing on the wall. Just because he sees the writing on the wall doesn't mean he understands it. As we dig into this chapter of Daniel, we'll consider what a party in 539 BC can teach us about following and trusting God in the 21st century.
