ReStart: Some Restrictions Apply
Some think that phrase is in the Bible, but it's not. Best we can tell, it was first penned sometime between the end of the Old Testament and the beginning of the New. And while moderation might be best in some things, it's no way to follow Jesus. Moderate devotion to Him is a recipe for misery.
But what does extreme discipleship look like for those of us who are otherwise moderate? Find out this Sunday at White Pine!

ReStart: Take A Load Off
Of all the viruses that can infect our mental hard drive, the one we're going to scan for this Sunday is the most insidious. Is it corrupting your relationship with God? Maybe. Is it keeping those you love from having a relationship with God? Definitely.
That's why I want to encourage you to invite friends and family to listen to this week's service--especially those who base their hope of going to heaven on their track record. The new operating system God offers us is so much better, we just have to get the word out.

ReStart: Tomorrowland
What does
the phrase emotional roller
coaster make you think of?
If your answer is, "My life," join the club. We all go
up and down like a car on a track. It's as if our feelings are inseparable from
our circumstances.
But is that the way it has to be? No! God has made available to us a new operating system that enables us to experience trans-circumstantial joy. If you would like to download it onto the hard drive of your heart, listen to this Sunday's sermon at White Pine.

ReStart: Greed To Contentment
We live in a land of opportunity. If we simply focus, work hard and fight for it we have the ability to gain great riches for ourselves.
But what if this pursuit is the very thing that fills our lives
with grief? Could this "good" mindset that our culture strives
for be the very thing that is weakening our faith? How can we find
happiness in a way that doesn't hurt us?
This week we take a look at God's advice to pursue
contentment. If we can learn to be content and find happiness wherever we
are in life, we have the ability to have a peace of mind that is overwhelming.
Listen to this Sunday's sermon as we learn the disciplines to obtaining contentment.
