Great Question! 2025: Are Heaven and Hell Real? - Ken Wetmore

During WholeLife Church’s annual ‘Great Question!’ Series, Lead Pastor Ken Wetmore is given a question submitted by one of our members with only a week to prepare his answer. This week’s question launches the 2025 Great Question! series and does not disappoint:

Great Question 1: The Old Testament doesn't say much about an afterlife beyond the grave. A vague mention of the dead coming back to life appears in Isaiah 26:19, and Daniel 12:2 speaks of resurrection and judgment. In contrast, the New Testament describes heaven and hell as real, specific places. Since most of the Old Testament lacks clear ideas of life after death—and since by the time the New Testament was written, Jewish thought had been influenced by other religions like Zoroastrianism and by Greek philosophy—should we understand heaven and hell as actual places, or as theological concepts shaped by these influences?

Speak Life - Aubrey Toup

Every day we use words to communicate. Information is passed, processed, and refined, only to be passed on again. But, what does ‘what we say’ actually say about us, about Christians, and our walk with God? Are we taking the time to speak life into those in our care and in our world, or faced with the regret and the pain of words we can’t take back?

Bigger Than Me - Steve Carlson

Life often feels centered on our problems, plans, or strengths — but what if it’s not about us at all? Through stories, visuals, and Scripture, this message invites us to look up and recognize that God is writing a much bigger story. Based on John 10:10 and Ephesians 1:3–12, we’re reminded that proper fullness comes when we realize: It’s always about Him.

WetMore Summer Series: Prophetic Water - Ken Wetmore

Throughout the Bible, water carries powerful prophetic meaning. From judgment—like the Flood and Elijah’s drought—to symbols of salvation and life, water flows through Scripture as both purifier and promise. In this message, we explore how water represents people, nations, and the Holy Spirit, all of which lead to the hope found in the river of life flowing from God's throne.

WetMore Summer Series: It Would Have Been Enough - Ken Wetmore

Is Jesus enough, even in the middle of shipwrecks and suffering? In this message, we explore Paul’s extreme hardships - from beatings to shipwrecks - and ask what could make it all worth it. The answer? Knowing Christ. Jesus’ body and blood give us strength, hope, and purpose. He is enough. Always.
