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.

Worth Waking Up For

Watch, "Worth Waking Up For" by Doug Erdmann / White Pine Community Church, 05-24-15

"There is nothing quite as exhilarating as getting out of bed in the morning, going back into the world, and knowing why."

So said author Bill Hull, whose God-given passion overlaps with our speaker at White Pine this Sunday, Doug Erdmann. Doug and Joyce are White Pine partners who live in Singapore, where they equip disciples to reach Asia for Christ. In this message Doug will explain three things that are worth waking up for every morning.

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.
