What Does Jesus Want?

What Does Jesus Want? By Will Truesdell, Intervarsity New England / Sunday, 05-17-15, White Pine Community Church

If Jesus were to pray for White Pine Community Church, what would He ask for?

Actually, He did pray for us, over 2,000 years ago. And His prayer for those who would follow Him in the 21st century is recorded in John 17.

In this message, Will Truesdell, our friend and partner in ministry from Intervarsity New England, will lead us in a study of this passage that reveals the heart of our Lord for His church, and His love for you.

True Beauty

Watch, "True Beauty" By Greg Sidders, Sunday, 05-10-15

If beauty is in the eye of the beholder, what kind of woman is attractive to God?

I'm sure you know that He is attracted to the kind of beauty that is invisible to those who are fixated on the physical, but exactly what are the attributes that comprise true beauty? We'll find out in this message as we celebrate the special women in our lives.

Faith is a Loophole

Watch, "True/False: Faith is a Loophole" By Greg Sidders, 05-03-15

Do Christians get a free pass on the Day of Judgment?

We know that God will judge those who do not follow Jesus, but what about those who do? Will our earthly behavior have eternal consequences, or does our faith excuse us from accountability for our actions?

I'll bet you have an opinion on this topic. So does Jesus. Let's explore what he has to say about it in this message.

True / False: Hell is Real

Watch, "True / False: Hell is Real" By Greg Sidders

The love of God and the horror of hell seem so incongruous that we can't help but wonder if the threat of eternal punishment is all bark and no bite--a fear tactic employed by fire-and-brimstone preachers that frightens people and saddens God.

Jesus never shied away from setting the record straight. So what did He have to say about hell? We'll find out in this message.

This is a subject I would prefer to avoid, but too much is at stake to do that. We need to know the truth, even if it does scare the you-know-what out of us.



True / False: Good People Go to Heaven

Watch, "True / False: Good People Go to Heaven" By Greg Sidders

Sunday, 04-19-15

Have you ever attended a funeral in which it was not assumed that the deceased was in "a better place"?
Me neither.

Whether through nature or nurture, most of us believe two things when it comes to the afterlife:

1) Good people go to heaven.
2) We are good people.

But is that what Jesus taught? In this message, we are going to see what He had to say about this subject. I want to urge you to listen, and to invite your friends, because too much is at stake to take a wait-and-see approach.

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.
