False Confidence

Watch, "False Confidence" By Greg Sidders, Sunday, 08-21-16

 

It's possible to be sure you're going to heaven but to end up, um, somewhere else.

But that tragedy can be avoided by heeding the words of Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount.  In the last 15 verses of His Sermon (Matthew 7:13-27), Jesus tells us how to make sure we are on the narrow road that leads to life rather than the broad road that leads to destruction.

Even if you think you don't need a spiritual reality check, I hope you'll submit to this one. Too much is at stake to assume you are safe rather than putting your faith to the test.

A More Perfect You

In God's eyes, we already look like Jesus. But in real life, we're playing catch-up.

The Sermon on the Mount shows us what nitty-gritty Christlikeness looks like, and challenges us to pursue that ideal. As we study the first 12 verses of Matthew 7, we'll discover three very practical ways to become more like Jesus in our relationships--with God and with other people. I really hope you'll come and let the Spirit of God make you a little more like the Son of God.

Help Needed

Look around...do you see it too?  People everywhere desperately need Jesus, but their needs are so extreme that our efforts to help hardly make a dent.  We push ourselves to try to help more and -- let's be honest -- we tend to get frustrated at others who don't.  This problem causes many of us anxiety and can even put a strain on our friendships.

So how can we help without causing damage?

Jesus witnessed that same problem, and He tells us exactly what to do.

Post-Materialism

When it comes to money, which of these two statements best fits you?

a) "I worry about not having enough."

b) "I have more than enough, and I know how I'm going to spend it."

Actually, there is a third option. Jesus advocated a "none of the above" mindset about money in the Matthew 6:19-34, and those rare few who adopt it find peace and joy that eludes most people in our materialistic world. I hope you'll join us this Sunday as we allow the Sermon on the Mount to purify our perspective on money.

An Audience Of One

This week at White Pine we learn how the audience we desire to please can determine whether our actions are good or bad.

How Good is Good Enough?

Watch, "How Good is Good Enough" By Greg Sidders, Sunday, 07/10/16

The more sermons you hear, the harder it is to discern where God's word stops and human interpretation begins.

But the Sermon on the Mount was different. In it, Jesus stripped layers of human commentary off of God's word to restore it to its original condition. By doing so, he showed us exactly what it takes to get to heaven, and what it looks to live like someone who is headed there.

I hope that by listening to this message your soul will be detoxified as you hear the unaltered voice of Jesus.

What kind of people please God? What kind of people have the brightest future to look forward to? What kind of people change the world?

The eightfold answer to those questions is found in the famous words with which Jesus began the Sermon on the Mount.  They're called the Beatitudes.
