The Blessing Zone

Watch Greg Sidders deliver his message, "The Blessing Zone" in part 2 of his series, "Beyond Facebook."

In this podcast you are going to discover the most powerful secret to better relationships.

I know, that sounds like hype. "Secret" is a word so often used as a tease--a promise of some kind of previously-hidden nugget of revelation that will make what you thought was a complex problem surprisingly simple to solve. Too often those who say they know "the secret" over-promise and under-deliver.

That's not the kind of secret I'm talking about. I'm talking about a biblical principle that that is obscured by the fact that it is rarely stated explicitly. It's an implicit principle--the skeletal frame underneath the skin of so many of the Bible's relational commands. Supporting all those passages about how to forge better relationships is a ... well, a secret ... and when you discover it, it won't make all your relational challenges magically disappear, but it will light the path to a more satisfying social network. I promise.

Survivor Motherhood


Watch Survivor Motherhood, by Greg Sidders, Pastor, White Pine Community Church

I don't know of any job with a more lopsided rewards-to-labor ratio than that of motherhood. In what other profession do you get paid nothing for work that's never done? If anyone deserves a special day of recognition, it's moms. This Sunday at White Pine, I will be sharing a message designed to give those who have embraced the holy calling of motherhood a glimpse of God's perspective on their work.

If you are a mom, watch and be encouraged.

If you love someone who is a mom, invite her to watch with you and echo God's words of affirmation to her.

Then take her out to lunch!

Why Jesus Died

Click here to watch the video: Last fall at White Pine we invested 12 weeks studying the life of Jesus, but we suspended our study right before the most significant three-day period of His life, the days spanning His death and His resurrection.  This Sunday and next, we will finish our Jesus Encounter, not just by watching Him die and rise again, but by seeking answers to the question Why?  This Sunday we will be reminded of both the meaning of and the motivation behind His death on the cross.  I trust that, as we eat the bread and drink the juice of the Lord's Supper, we will do so with hearts full of gratitude for the body and blood they represent.

Soul Scan // 03-27-11



Soul Scan, by Greg Sidders, Pastor, White Pine Community Church // In this podcast we will conclude our study of the Book of Philippians. In the last 12 weeks we have learned that the life we were created to live has Jesus at the center of it, and that the more we get into Him, the more we will get out of life. // But is there any way to detect whether we are any more Christocentric today than we were three months ago? Is there anything visible we can look at that will help us to diagnose the condition of our relationship with Jesus Christ, invisible as that relationship is? // Yes, there is. The last major section of this book teaches us a very practical way to gauge our spiritual health.

In The Eye of the Storm

In The Eye of the Storm, by Greg Sidders, Pastor, White Pine Community Church // Some people's emotional state is like a rubber life raft in the ocean of their circumstances; there is as much turbulence inside them as there is all around them. Others live in the eye of the storm, at peace in the center of the cyclone that swirls around them. //  Which are you? Which would you like to be? // In this video podcast we are going to learn how our soul can be an island of calm even when our circumstances are an ocean of chaos.
