Speaking of Grace

Black History Month - The Good Samaritan The Samaritan didn’t ask, “What will happen to me if I stop?” Instead, he asked, “What will happen to this man if I don’t?” That is the heart of justice.

Overflow: The Ground People are more depressed than ever before. People are exhausted. People are angry and afraid. We live in a world that is dry and thirsty. A world that longs for living water. When we overflow where God has placed us we can create gardens and oases in what was desert. Reach out to us with your questions and comments: Text/Voicemail:   407-965-1607 Email:  ...

Overflow: The Container We don't have to be perfect to overflow. We may be a small glass, an earthenware vase, or a cooking pot. The point is what we are, the point is what we contain and overflows from us. Go deeper with this and every WholeLife message every Wednesday morning on our podcast, This Is WholeLife.

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.

The Origin Story We conclude our Origin Series this Sabbath with "The Origin Story." I'll 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. Watch the full Christmas Celebration service on our YouTube chan...

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 cele...

Origins: Parents You don't get to pick your parents...unless you are Jesus. As we continue our Christmas series, Origins, we'll be looking at Jesus' parents, Mary and Joseph. Were they perfect? What can we learn from them? Discover the answers for yourself this week at WholeLife. Go deeper with this and every WholeLife message every Wednesday morning on our podcast, This Is WholeLife. Send your qu...

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. For that...

Daniel Series Dominion: The Den 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.

Dominion: The Dream In the book of Daniel, chapter 2, King Nebuchadnezzar has a dream. Is it possible that we miss the main point of this dream, like Nebuchadnezzar? This week, we'll see what God really wants us to take away from this story and this dream.

Dominion: The Plan If we were going to condense the Book of Daniel down to one word, the word would be dominion. It is about who controls the events of this world and who is sovereign in your life. Within Christianity many would claim that God has dominion in their life, but what is the purpose of that dominion? How do we react when events in our life don't go as we think they should? This week we...

Great Question!: How Does AI Fit Into Our Worldview as Christians? - Ken Wetmore Artificial Intelligence (AI) is being used in over 77% (Source: Authority Hacker ) of devices. While it has been used since the 1980s, most Americans are only now beginning to understand how much of their life is impacted by AI. Many people have very real concerns about the implications of AI. This Sabbath we will gra...

Rest - Ken Wetmore Rest is not easy to come by in today's world. Many are running on empty. What we need is rest(oration).

Get to Work: Leading or Following - Ken Wetmore Not many parents say to their child, "I hope you grow up to be a follower." Generally, we aspire for our children to be a leader.

We'll unpack that together during this sermon. R...

In this week's sermon, we will look at how to find motivation to work when you don't have it naturally. Reach out to us with your questions and comments: Text/Voicemail:   407-965-1607 Email:  ...
