Great Question: Jesus vs Denomination?

This Is WholeLife

Great Question 3: Jesus vs Denomination? – Ken Wetmore

(Part 1) How do we, as a church, stay focused on Jesus when so many in our denomination believe that our mission is to fixate on major doctrinal issues, political hot potatoes, and/or cultural preferences?

(Part 2) As someone not raised Seventh-day Adventist, I have embraced the warmth and freedom I have found at WholeLife church. However, I have heard that our church is different from other Adventist churches. What am I missing if this is not the norm?

This week one of our #WholeLifeReflections asked: Why do you attend WholeLife?

This might be the easiest question we’ve ever asked but maybe not the simplest. Why attend or choose a faith community can have multiple layers and reasons or be very simple. Let us know why you attend WholeLife Church by voicemail or text at the contact information below (by text you may remain anonymous as there are no contact lists associated with this number), and we will read your comments or play your voicemail during next week’s episode.

NEXT WEEK: ‘Great Question 4’ - by Ken Wetmore

Considering, the story of Hagar and Sarah: In the Genesis version, there is a lot of difficult complexity - for instance, God sends Hagar back into bondage then tells Abraham to listen to Sarah and cast Hagar and Ishmael into the wilderness. Then, Paul does a REALLY horrible retelling of this story in Galatians. He makes a point we all like - that faith trumps the law - but he does it in a way that has resulted in much Inter-religious strife, gender oppression, etc. Why do all of these horrible things seem sanctioned by, or even motivated by, God?
