Playing it Safe: Acts 13-14

 
"There is no safer place than the center of God's will." Before you put that quote on a plaque, ask yourself if it's true.
It certainly wasn't true for Jesus. And if I understand what taking up our cross means, it's not true for us either. The center of God's will is a dangerous place indeed.
So why go there? And why stay there?

Pride and Prejudice



If I told you that God wanted to use you to help someone else live forever, whose name would come to mind? 

More importantly, whose name wouldn't? Who is the one person (or type of person) you could never imagine sharing your faith with?

This Sunday at White Pine, we are going to see that God loves to use us, not only in ways we never imagined, but also in ways we never wanted. And when we cooperate with rather than resist the Holy Spirit, the church becomes what Jesus dreamed of when He was dying on the cross.

Never Say Never

Watch, "Never Say Never" by Greg Sidders, Sunday, 12-21-14

Among those with whom you will be spending Christmas, who is most unlikely to ever become a Christian?

The passage is all about someone just like that person. And what happened to him will make you dream again about what can happen to them. Sure they're stubborn, but God is stubborner

Blocking

Watch, "Blocking" by Greg Sidders, Sunday, 12-14-14

This is one time of year when almost everybody thinks about Jesus. How can they not, with all those Christmas carols playing?

But how can we capitalize on the opportunities to we have during the holiday season to help people find and follow Jesus? Acts 8:26-40 is packed with practical ideas that we will highlight this Sunday at White Pine.

And if you're still investigating Christ, you need to know that there is as much for you in this passage as there is for those who have crossed the line of faith. Join us and learn how to access the information you need to make the decision that is best for you.
