 Watch "Truth Dodger" By Greg Sidders

No doubt there is someone in your relational web whose eternal destiny matters more to you than it does to them. What is keeping them from responding to the truth they are being exposed to? And what can you do transform their apathy into curiosity?

In this message we are going to learn, from the interaction between an articulate Christian and an apathetic non-Christian, how to help those we love deal with, rather than dodge, the truth that can change their life.

The Courageous Christian: Acts 21-23

Watch, "The Courageous Christian: Acts 21-23" By Greg Sidders

 

If you want to share with others the good news that has changed your life, but you almost never do it, I can guess why.

Fear.

You're afraid that something bad might happen, right? Worst-case scenarios haunt you into guilty silence.

So why was it that the apostle Paul, who actually suffered for sharing his faith in all the ways we fear, became more, not less, outspoken over time? Was he a glutton for punishment, or was he motivated by something stronger than fear?

In this message I will show you the secret to Paul's boldness, so that you will have the courage to get what is in your heart out of your mouth.

No Regrets: Acts 20

Watch, "No Regrets: Acts 20" By Greg Sidders / Sunday, 07-05-15

Every life is a story, and right now you are writing a chapter in yours. 

Whatever title you might give this chapter, I'm sure you, like me, want to live it in such a way that you will be able to remember it with gratification rather than regret. Have you thought about what choices you must make, and what character traits you must develop, to do that?

In this message we will watch a follower of Jesus evaluate a previous chapter in his life, and my goal is to help you make this chapter of your life one that will put a smile on your face (and God's) when, years from now, you look back on it.

What Great Dad's Do

Watch, "What Great Dad's Do" by Greg Sidders, Sunday 06-21-15

Perhaps there are some holidays that benefit no one more than Hallmark, but Father's Day is not one of them. This is the day when we say to our dads what they need to hear, despite their denial of that need.

But it can be hard to know what to say--because so much of what a father does is as inconspicuous as it is invaluable. So in this message I'm going to remind you of five unspectacular things that, according to the Bible, great dads do ... so that, when you have that awkward heartfelt conversation with your father, you'll know what to say.

An Investment Worth Pursuing

Watch, "An Investment Worth Pursuing" / Sunday, 06-14-15 / By Josh Sibert

Do you ever feel like you need to hurry and enjoy this beautiful summer weather even though it just began?  It seems like everything good, from summer weather to financial wealth, has an expiration date and ends too quickly!

Jesus tells us about an investment with a payout that is not only greater, but it never loses it's value!  (And no, I'm not just talking about Heaven.)

Join us as we take a look at this investment and why Jesus urges us not to miss out!

How Faith Grows

Watch, "How Faith Grows" By Greg Sidders, White Pine Community Church, Sunday, 06-07-15

A mustard seed isn't very big, but most of us could pour all our faith into one and have room to spare. Otherwise, we'd be moving more mountains.

That's not an indictment so much as it is an invitation. What if we could grow our faith to the point that God could use us (like He used Jesus) to do the miraculous? We can! The Bible gives us several practical ways to grow in faith, and this message Greg highlights them.

What is Faith?

Watch, "What is Faith"  By Greg Sidders, Sunday, 05-31-15, White Pine Community Church

Without it we cannot please God. With it we can move mountains. But what is it? Faith, yes. But what is that?

You may think you know, but have you ever thoroughly examined what the Bible says about faith? Does it involve or ignore reason? Is it a choice, or are some people just hard-wired for it? What exactly do we have to believe to be "in the faith"? And what do we have to stop believing?

Too much is at stake for us to have a fuzzy definition of faith. I hope to help you see it with greater clarity in this message.
