Never Say Never

Watch, "Never Say Never" by Greg Sidders, Sunday, 12-21-14

Among those with whom you will be spending Christmas, who is most unlikely to ever become a Christian?

The passage is all about someone just like that person. And what happened to him will make you dream again about what can happen to them. Sure they're stubborn, but God is stubborner

Blocking

Watch, "Blocking" by Greg Sidders, Sunday, 12-14-14

This is one time of year when almost everybody thinks about Jesus. How can they not, with all those Christmas carols playing?

But how can we capitalize on the opportunities to we have during the holiday season to help people find and follow Jesus? Acts 8:26-40 is packed with practical ideas that we will highlight this Sunday at White Pine.

And if you're still investigating Christ, you need to know that there is as much for you in this passage as there is for those who have crossed the line of faith. Join us and learn how to access the information you need to make the decision that is best for you.

One Solitary Life

Watch, "One Solitary Life" by Greg Sidders, Sunday, 11-16-14

Is a Christlike life an attainable goal?

Theologians may say no, but this Sunday we'll meet a man whose life begs to differ. And from his example we will catch a vision of the difference we can make in the world if becoming like Jesus is our consuming passion.

Growning Pains

Watch, "Growing Pains" by Greg Sidders, Sunday, 11-09-14, White Pine Community Church


Almost everybody I know has a love-hate relationship with church growth. They want more people to find and follow Jesus, of course, but can't the church grow without changing? We like it the way it is, thank you.
Statistically, more churches are successful at resisting change than they are at accommodating growth. But what if White Pine could grow without losing that which makes it special? And what if you could help the church do that?
In this message we will be studying Acts 6:1-7, a passage that shows both you and me how each of us can help the church keep getting better, even as it gets bigger.

When Submission is Sin

 
Submission to authority is something that should characterize every Christian. But is there ever a time when it would be a sin to submit?
The Book of Acts answers that question clearly. Yes.
But how do we know when that time has come? We'll find out this Sunday at White Pine, so that we'll be prepared for that moment when obedience to God calls for holy rebellion.
