The Kind of Worship That Makes Jesus Weep

Watch, "The Kind of Worship That Makes Jesus Weep" by Greg Sidders, Sunday, 03-29-15, White Pine Community Church

That's not a misprint. I'm not asking whether God puts conditions on His love for you. I'm asking whether your love for Him is buckled to the roller coaster of your circumstances.

If you will admit that your devotion to Jesus tends to climb and dive based on the ups and downs of life, In this message, we are going to take a closer look at that scene that plays in our mind every Palm Sunday. The triumphal entry of Jesus is about more than palm branches. It's really about a Savior whose love for us is far more dependable than our love for Him. When you see that love, in His eyes, on that donkey, it might just free you from earthbound worship once and for all.

A Little Knowledge: Acts 18:18-19:7

Watch, "A Little Knowledge" by Greg Sidders, Sunday, 03-22-15

 

When it comes to spiritual truth, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

All around us are people who know just enough about Jesus to think they are on their way to heaven but not enough to actually do what it takes to get there. And guess who God has chosen to circle wrong answers and fill in the blanks?

Yep, you. And me. What a frightening privilege!

 

In this message we will see what can happen when we muster the courage to correct others' misconceptions about the way of salvation. If you are a little short on bravery, don't miss it!

Night Vision: Acts 18:1-17

Watch, "Night Vision" by Greg Sidders

 

It's a phrase that sounds melodramatic until you experience it.

The dark night of the soul.

There are many descending paths into that black hole, but when you find yourself there, it seems as if there is no way out-and no way for God to get in.

But the truth is, He is already there. And He wants to whisper something to you that will help you see daylight again. 

Playing it Safe: Acts 13-14

Watch, "Playing it Safe" by Greg Sidders, Sunday, 02-01-15

 

"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

Listen to, Pride and Prejudice, by Greg Sidders, Sunday, 01-18-15

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.
