Rethinking History

 
If the question nagged at you before, it may be haunting you now. Is there any hope for those I love who have rejected Christ?
 
Admittedly, a lot of what we have been learning in Romans 9-10 can be discouraging. The truth that God softens some hearts and hardens others (chapter 9), and that many moral people will not make it into heaven because they don't see their need for a Savior (chapter 10) can make us wonder if our loved ones are destined to be casualties in God's cosmic plan.
 
But this Sunday at White Pine, we are not only going to learn more about what God has in mind; we are also going to going to get a glimpse into His heart--and I think it will give you stubborn hope for those who salvation you pray for most passionately.

Rethinking Righteousness: Notes and Discussion Questions

Rethinking Righteousness: Notes and Discussion Questions // Sunday 01-13-13

Rethinking Righteousness

 Listen to, "Rethinking Righteousness" by Greg Sidders 01-13-13

"There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death." Solomon said that, not once but twice, in the Book of Proverbs to warn us not to trust our instincts without double-checking the facts.
There are many areas of life in which we can whistle our way to destruction, but one mistake is more costly than all others combined: assuming we know how to get to heaven.
The path of salvation is counter-intuitive, which is why the apostle Paul devotes so much ink to clarifying the gospel in the Book of Romans. In this message we will take one more look at the most dangerous misconception about life after death that good people have. It's a great message to share friends who don't think they need Jesus to get to God.

The Kind of People God Uses

What would you say if I told you that 2013 can be a year in which God will use you like never before?
 
Maybe you've never thought of yourself as being usable by God--but the fact is, there are things that He wants to do, right here in Southern Maine, through you. And there is nothing about you that disqualifies you from being a conduit of His love and power.
 
But there is one thing you can do to make yourself available to the God who wants to use you in 2013, and you'll find out what it is if you join us this Sunday at White Pine.
