This Is WholeLife

Transitions: Navigating Change – ‘The Winding Path’ – by Chad Hess

What does it look like to follow God’s calling for your life? God’s plan is not a straight journey to a destination. There are always twists and turns, brought about by change. These changes can be painful and difficult, but they make us into who we are and the person that God wants us to be. God has led Chad down a very winding path that has led him to places he never would have imagined, and it’s turned out better than he could have dreamed possible.

This week one of our #WhoLifeTakeAways asked: If God was trying to nudge you in a particular direction right now, how would you know it was God nudging you?

So, what about you? How do you know if it’s God nudging you? Let us know by using one of the following:

Following Jesus Beyond the Cross – ‘The Follower’

In their hearts, Jesus' disciples struggled to fill something, to prove something, and to make something of themselves (just like us today), but the whole time he was there with them, all he wanted was for them to follow—just follow. How could this change Jesus' followers today?

This week one of our #WhoLifeTakeAways asked: The fullness of the Gospel was never meant to be proprietary and only a "Jewish thing.” As "ethnos" (anyone other than Jews), we are part of God's plan and "added in" to receive God’s grace, forgiveness, and acceptance. It would seem strange, then, that we would become the "inviters," yet God does allow us that privilege - not to judge or "gatekeep," but invite. When you think about the people in your life, who would be easy to invite, and who would be harder? Why?

So, what about you? Are you an inviter or more like me and using other outlets to invite in less obvious ways? Let us know by using one of the following:

Following Jesus Beyond the Cross – ‘The Leader’

When Peter followed Jesus out of the boat to walk on the water, it seemed like an incredible feat to do what Jesus did. But the thought was there, “If he can do it, why can’t I?” until he realized it was God all along. The Leader is not just our teacher, though his words are incredibly thought provoking. The Leader is not just our friend, but he’s forever on our side. The Leader is God, and that means we follow him because, if we follow anything else, we have made ourselves out to be God. And that goes nowhere.

This week one of our #WhoLifeTakeAways asked: Jesus asks us to follow; however, following is about discipleship, and discipleship is about replicating. How does that fit with your view of following?

So, what about you? What is your view of following and replicating? Let us know by using one of the following:

Following Jesus Beyond the Cross – ‘The Destination’

He is risen and is our ‘destination’.

This week one of our #WhoLifeTakeAways asked: As you think about Christ knowing everything about you, what makes it so comfortable for you to hang onto that thought? What do you keep discovering about God the more you know he sees your heart?

Things to Remember - ‘There’s A Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow’

There’s a great big beautiful tomorrow. This isn't just optimistic thinking; it is the promised reality of God. However, before we step into the ultimate one at the end of earth’s history, maybe one between now and then would be God’s friends finding unity on three platforms: Jesus is the Savior, God calls us to love, and There’s a glorious future. Even between now and that final day, God is in charge, and there are many great big beautiful tomorrows in our future.

This week one of our #WhoLifeTakeAways asked: How much do you trust Philippians 1:6 that God who began a good work in you will bring it to completion?

Things To Remember – ‘Love Each Other and Everybody Else   

It is our mission to love people—to love people so well that in, and through, and because of God’s love being exercised through us, the people we love will be drawn into a lifelong friendship with God, and they too will start loving people. Religious organizations like denominations will codify, policy-make, and set rules to follow. Honor those that promote true loving of people, and tolerate those that don’t block loving. However, because God has called you to love, seek to overthrow those that block us from God’s call on our lives to love people.

This week one of our #WhoLifeTakeAways asked: 

What do you think about each of the descriptor of love from 1 Corinthians 13?

   “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.”

So, what about you? What do think about 1 Corinthians 13’s descriptors? How do you view them in regards to ‘love never fails’? Let us know by using one of the following:

AS MENTIONED IN THIS WEEK’S MESSAGE….

PRINCIPLES FOR HOW WE TREAT EACH OTHER

Our Practice of Respect and Community Building

1. Create a hospitable and accountable community. We all arrive in isolation and need the generosity of friendly welcomes. Bring all of yourself to the work in this community. Welcome others to this place and this work and presume that you are welcomed as well. Hospitality is the essence of restoring community.

2. Listen deeply. Listen intently to what is said, listen to the feelings beneath the words. Strive to achieve a balance between listening and reflecting, speaking and acting.

3. Create an advice free zone. Replace advice with curiosity as we work together for peace and justice. Each of us is here to discover our own truths. We are not here to set someone else straight, to “fix” what we perceive as broken in another member of the group.

4. Practice asking honest and open questions. A great question is ambiguous, personal and provokes anxiety.

5. Give space for unpopular answers. Answer questions honestly even if the answer seems unpopular. Be present to listen not debate, correct or interpret.

6. Respect silence. Silence is a rare gift in our busy world. After someone has spoken, take time to reflect without immediately filling the space with words. This applies to the speaker, as well – be comfortable leaving your words to resound in the silence, without refining or elaborating on what you have said.

7. Suspend judgment. Set aside your judgments. By creating a space between judgments and reactions, we can listen to the other, and to ourselves, more fully.

8. Identify assumptions. Our assumptions are usually invisible to us, yet they undergird our worldview. By identifying our assumptions, we can then set them aside and open our viewpoints to greater possibilities.

9. Speak your truth. You are invited to say what is in your heart, trusting that your voice will be heard, and your contribution respected. Own your truth by remembering to speak only for yourself. Using the first person “I” rather than “you” or “everyone” clearly communicates the personal nature of your expression.

10. When things get difficult, turn to wonder. If you find yourself disagreeing with another, becoming judgmental, or shutting down in defense, try turning to wonder: “I wonder what brought her to this place?” “I wonder what my reaction teaches me?” “I wonder what he’s feeling right now?”

11. Practice slowing down. Simply the speed of modern life can cause violent damage to the soul. By intentionally practicing slowing down we strengthen our ability to extend nonviolence to others—and to ourselves.

12. All voices have value. Hold these moments when a person speaks as precious because these are the moments when a person is willing to stand for something, trust the group and offer something they see as valuable.

13. Maintain confidentiality. Create a safe space by respecting the confidential nature and content of discussions held in the group. Allow what is said in the group to remain there.

Things To Remember – ‘Trust The Gospel’   

The gospel teaches us that salvation is always the work of the Savior, not the saved. Anything added to the good news of the Gospel of Jesus turns it into bad news. Remember to trust the gospel—it is God’s work, work done by the Divine, and it can be trusted.

Andy’s Takeaway from Titus 3:3-7

OUR PART:

Once . . .

We, too, were foolish and disobedient.

We were misled by others and

We became slaves to many wicked desires and evil pleasures.

Our lives were full of evil and envy.

We hated others and they hated us.

GOD’S PART:

But then . . .

God our Savior showed us his kindness and love.

He saved us,

    not because of the good things we did,

    but because of his mercy.

He washed away our sins and

He gave us a new life through the Holy Spirit.

He generously poured out the Spirit upon us

because of what Jesus Christ our Savior did.

He declared us not guilty because of his

    great kindness.

RESULTS FOR US:

And Now

We know that we will inherit eternal life

      -Paul in Titus 3:3-7 NLT 1996

Things To Remember – ‘Fix Your Eyes On Jesus’   

What is your first line of defense? When you face good times or bad – When your relational world is stable or messed up – When you are the epitome of health or can’t get well – When the bills are all paid and there’s extra or when none are paid. Do you turn to your own mind for answers? Do you seek diversion? Is there a trusted friend you call? Only one person is worthy of our focus, and when we focus there, all will be well with our souls. There are a million other lines of defense and options of where to look, but especially when times are rough—fix your eyes on Jesus.

This week one of our #WhoLifeTakeAways asked: 

In what ways does aiming for perfection rather than progress hamper your Christian pilgrimage?
