Super Heroes / Part 1

Listen to "Super Heroes" part 1 / Greg Sidders, White Pine Community Church


Do you think your best days of serving God are a) behind you or b) ahead of you?

The older we get, the more likely we are to circle "a"--because with age comes the residue of past mistakes and the obstacle of deep ruts, both of which make many people stop dreaming and start settling.

In Part 1 of our summer series Superheroes, you will meet a man who thought he was past his prime right before God handpicked him to change the world.  If you've been wondering whether God can use someone with wrinkles and a regrettable track record, you're going to get a second wind in this message.

In God We Trust






It's stamped into every coin and printed on every dollar bill, but for how many of us is it really true?

"In God we trust."

There are vast differences in the extent to which we trust God, and the reason is simple: We all observe and experience a lot of things that make trusting Him hard. Why should we trust Him? What rational basis is there for believing that, when we draw near to God, He won't let us down.

In this message Greg uses three strands of biblical truth to braid a rope that we can use to strangle whatever doubts we may have about God's trustworthiness. If you have trust issues, this is one message you need to hear. Trust me :-)

Thank God for Dads // Father's Day 2011



Listen to Greg Sidders as he shares his message, "Thank God for Dads" // Father's Day 2011 at White Pine  Community Church // Why is it that Mother's Day services are more well-attended than Father's Day services? One theory is that, when you ask your mom, "What would you like for Mother's Day?", she says, "I'd like for the whole family to come to church with me"--but when you ask your dad the same question, he says, "I'd like to sleep in." // But I think there may be more to it than that. I think the tone of the church's message to moms and dads tends to be different. On Mother's Day, we say to moms, "You're doing great!" But on Father's Day, we say to dads, "You need to do better!" Who wouldn't want to sleep through a spanking? // Dads need encouragement as much as moms do, and so this Sunday at White Pine we are going to honor our fathers by focusing on the unique and powerful ways they reveal God to us. So wake dad up, bring him to church, and promise him an afternoon nap this Sunday!
