A Heart Like His: Romans 15:8-33

Listen to, "A Heart Like His" by Greg Sidders from Sunday 03-10-13

 If it's true that the mouth speaks out of the overflow of the heart, then what kind of words are spoken by a person who is Christlike at the core?

 Listen to the apostle Paul--especially as he dictates chapter 15 of his letter to the Romans--and you'll find out. In this message we're going to look through the words of Paul right into the heart of Jesus. And as we do that, our hearts will become a little more like His.

It's the next step toward the high-quality life that is ours when we become who God made us to be.

United Church of the Opinionated

Listen to, "United Church of the Opinionated" by Greg Sidders
from Sunday 03-05-13
 
If there's one thing all Christians agree on, it is that we should be unified. Unfortunately, we disagree on just about everything else. 

So how can this collection of diverse, opinionated disciples called The Church ever hope to achieve the vision of Jesus--that all of us may be one? The advice that the apostle Paul gives in Romans 14 is as down-to-earth as it gets, and if we will do the few simple things he urges us to do in that chapter, the harmony that results will open the hearts of people we love to the lyrics of God's truth.

Metamorphosis: Part 3 / Romans 13

Listen to, Metamorphosis: Part 3 by Greg Sidders

 

How do you spot Christians in a crowd? Apart from what they say, I mean. Let's imagine no one said anything about their spiritual beliefs (or wore anything that gave clues). Would it still be possible to identify followers of Jesus?

It should be--because the transformation process we are undergoing, filled as we are with the Spirit of God, makes us look distinctively different than other people. This Sunday at White Pine (weather-permitting), we will learn from Romans 13 three identifying marks of mid-metamorphosis. I hope you become a little more of the person God made you to be as you study the Scriptures with us.

How To Love People You Don't Even Like

 Listen to Greg Sidder's message, "How to Love People You Don't Even Like" Romans 12:9-21

How can we love people we don't even like?

That's not a question that we naturally ask, but when when we are being supernaturally metamorphosed into Christlikeness, it's a question we have to answer--because until we love our enemies, we're not like Jesus.

This Sunday at White Pine, we will study together Romans 12:9-21, and we will learn, among other things, how to treat our least favorite people. It's all part of becoming who God made us to be.

With love,

Metamorphosis: How Can We Ever Thank Him?

Metamorphosis: Part 1, "How Can We Ever Thank Him? // Greg Sidders, 02-03-13

If you have ever stopped to think about ... really think about ... the difference Jesus has made in your life, and your destiny, you can't help but ask the question, "How can I ever thank Him?"

In part 1 of Metamorphosis, we'll be studying Romans 12:1-8, a passage that answers that very question. It will show you how to express appropriate gratitude to the One who has given you mind-boggling mercy.
