The Game of Life, Part 2: Aggravation, When You Have to Start Over

Watch The Game of Life, Part 2: Aggravation, When You Have to Start Over

There's nothing more aggravating than having to start over. It happens to all of us. We slowly gain hard-earned momentum in an important area of our life, only to be blindsided by something or someone, and we find ourselves back at Square One. How can we recover from that kind of setback, and how can we make up the ground we've lost?

In this message we're going to see how five biblical characters overcame personal setbacks to achieve impossible goals. I hope the lessons in their stories will speed up your comeback!

Fresh Bread: What's God Teaching Me? by Joe Campbell / Sunday 07-28-13

Watch "Fresh Bread: What's God Teaching Me?" by Joe Campbell / Sunday 07-28-13

I've been thinking a lot about true worship lately. (That's weird, right?) David wrote in the Psalms, "I will bless the Lord at all times. His praise shall continually be in my mouth". We need to move beyond a view of worship that's based on location, time and approach, and see that worship can take place with every part of our lives if we are willing to bring all of who we truly are into communion and intimate contact with all that God truly is. I am looking so forward to exploring this with you. We were made for this!

Quitting Is Not An Option

Watch, "Quitting Is Not An Option" by Greg Sidders / Sunday 07-07-13

"The cost of discipleship" is a phrase that many Christians use but few understand. How can it be costly to follow Jesus when salvation is a free gift? Some say that discipleship is different than mere Christianity--a second step of commitment following the first step of faith. I don't think that's it. I think the key to harmonizing the no-cost gospel and the high cost of discipleship is in Luke 14:25-33, the passage we will be studying together in this message.

Extraordinary

Watch to Greg's Message, "Extraordinary" from Sunday 06-30-13

God specializes in using ordinary people to do extraordinary things. But why does He use some ordinary people instead of others? We'll find out in this message, and I think you'll be surprised by the radical simplicity of the answer. This is one message when I so hope you will listen with an open heart, because what you do with the truth you hear just may alter the course of your one and only life, from ordinary to extraordinary.

Doug Erdmann: Mission / Sunday 06-23-13

Watch, Doug Erdmann's message about Mission from Sunday 06-23-13

It's one thing to know what God is doing in the world, and something else entirely to be involved in what He is doing. 

Doug and Joyce Erdmann, our missionaries to Singapore, are on the front lines of ministry, and this Sunday at White Pine, you will learn from Doug how to overcome the obstacles to participating in God's world-changing plan. 

You may think you're not the kind of person God wants to use, but are you willing to find out?

How To Help Your Kids Love God

Watch to, "How To Help Your Kids Love God"

What other people have had the most powerful impact on your life, positively or negatively?

I'll bet your short list includes your dad. Fathers play an enormously influential role, but no man I know has ever taken a class on how to be a good dad. Especially when it comes to being a spiritual leader, most men are woefully undereducated. No wonder we are so unsure of ourselves in this area!

In this message Greg will be giving to fathers (and to all who want to influence young people spiritually) the tools they need to help kids love God.
