This Is WholeLife

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!

NEXT WEEK 2/11/23: The Cost, Part 1 - Ken Wetmore

Jesus pulled no punches when it came to the cost of following Him. Unlike some preachers today, Jesus made it clear that earthly comfort and riches are not the results of following Him.

Follow Me: The Response, Part II - Ken Wetmore

Bartimaeus shows us that we can claim Jesus’ gifts before they are given. As Jesus brings healing to us, our hearts overflow with gratitude, and we follow Him down the road.

This week one of our #WholeLifeReflections asked: Are you making your own way, or are you on The Way with Jesus? How do you know?

Phillip demonstrates that when Jesus calls us to follow Him, the natural response is to tell others what Jesus has done for you and invite them to “come and see.”

One of our #WholeLifeTakeAways asked; How does Jesus make your life better and you better at life?

RECIPE from WholeLife Church Member, Pam Nolen 

Sausage, Apple, and Cheddar Bread Pudding

(This dish is reminiscent of holiday stuffing. Leave the peel on the apple for color and texture).

8 ounces turkey Italian sausage

2 cups chopped Granny Smith apple

1 cup chopped onions

2 cups 1% low-fat milk

4 eggs or 1 cup egg substitute

3/4 cup (3 ounces)shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided

1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon black pepper

8 ounces (1-inch) cubed day-old sourdough bread (1/2 loaf)

Cooking spray

Preheat oven to 350

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Remove casings from sausage. Add sausage to pan; cook for 4 minutes or until browned, stirring to crumble. Stir in apple and onion. Cover and cook over low heat 5 minutes or until apple is crisp-tender. Remove from heat; cool slightly.

Combine milk, egg substitute, 1/4 cup cheddar cheese, parsley, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk. Stain in sausage mixture. Add bread, and stir gently to combine. Let stand 10 minutes. Spoon into a 2 quart baking dish coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes or until pudding is set and light browned.

Yield 6 servings

Follow Me: The Called - Anderline Bredy

Jesus called disciples from many walks of life. Perhaps the most surprising was Matthew, a reviled tax collector. As Matthew later retells the story, he recalls that Jesus said He didn’t come to call the righteous to follow Him, but sinners. Jesus accepts sinners and turns them into followers.

Jesus invites us to follow Him. He invites us to reimagine the use of gifts and talents. As we follow Him, we achieve far greater things than we would have on our own.

This week’s #WholeLifeReflections asked: Are you following Jesus? If not, what is keeping you from following? If you are, what does that look like?

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 from arising to visit Jesus? Have you asked Jesus to remove those barriers?

Arise to Christmas: Arise to Unexpected Opportunities (The Innkeeper) - Ken Wetmore

The replacement of fear with joy is one of the great messages of Christmas. The Innkeeper denied himself joy while the shepherds embraced it. This Christmas, choose joy.
