2025-02-0238 minWhite Pine ChurchThe Darkness and the DawnNo one wants to wander through life in the dark. We want to know who God is, why He created us, and what happens after we die. But how do we know Jesus was “the light of the world”?

2025-02-0233 minWhite Pine ChurchLed Into TemptationOne thing you have in common with everyone you know is your vulnerability to temptation.

2025-02-0238 minWhite Pine ChurchThe Unavoidable OneJesus entered our world more than 2,000 years ago, but there is also a point in time when He makes His entrance into our personal world.

2025-02-0235 minWhite Pine ChurchWho's Vetting Whom?It’s natural for us to ask, “How do I know if Jesus is worthy of my trust?” But an equally important question is, “How does He know I am worthy of His trust?” This study of Matthew 1:18-25 and 2:13-23 will answer both questions.

White Pine Community Church Audio PodcastInescapable Love
Listen to "Inescapable Love" by Greg Sidders, Sunday, 5-12-19
Try as you might, you will never escape your mother's love. The one in whom your life began, the one whose selfless commitment to your welfare began the moment she became aware of your existence, still nourishes you with an invisible, unseverable umbilical cord of love.
Who could love you more? Psalm 139 answers thatquestion, and we will study it together this Sunday in a very special Mother's Day service.

Worship is a choice.
Sometimes choosing to worship is easy, because God's blessings are so obvious, so overwhelming, so fresh. But there are also times when worship is a tearful act of tenacious faith, a decision to trust God despite the lack of evidence for His compassion and power.
Whether worship is an easy choice or a hard choice for you right now, you will have the opportunity to do it this Sunday with your White Pine family as we use the lyrics of...

We all want to pray in a way that pleases God, but how can we do that when what is in our heart is so messy? Our emotions swing wildly from joy to despair, and sometimes what we think and feel is something we'd never dare say to God.
But in the Psalms we find a prayer companion that gives us permission to let what is in us gush out of us. Yet at the same time it gently teaches us to incorporate into our raw a...

I believe this week will be a historic day in the history of White Pine Community Church! All the learning, dreaming, planning and praying that has been part of the GOD F1RST initiative will culminate in a unified
YES to God as we respond in obedience to His leading.
After watching how others (adults, teens and kids) have chosen to put God first in their lives, and studying more of what the Bible teaches about generosity, we will make commitments that repre...

D.L. Moody said: "A good example is far better than a good precept." For the past four weeks, we have learned some good precepts about generosity.
But this Sunday, we are going to do something even better: We're going to see some great examples. And just by watching them, we are going to be inspired to be more generous than ever before.
Whether you have been coming to this series weekly or occasionally, please make this Sunday's service a priority...

Imagine what the world would look like to you if you lacked depth perception. One man who sees everything in 2-D calls his life "Flatworld."
Spiritually speaking, most people live in Flatworld. It is only when we see this life in the context of eternity that we view it accurately. This Sunday at White Pine, we will have our vision corrected and, hopefully, our priorities rearranged. It's part of the process of learning to put GOD F1RST.

Listen to "GOD F1RST - Purpose" by Greg Sidders, Sunday, 3-17-19
In William Shakespeare's comedy Twelfth Night, a character by the name of Malvalio reads a letter that includes these words: "...Be not afraid of greatness: some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon 'em."
We love stories of unlikely heroes--people who have greatness thrust upon them--but it is hard for us to imagine ever being part of such a story.
And yet we are.
This Sunday at White Pine, in Part 3 of God First, I...

Putting God first sounds good as an abstract idea, but the specifics will blow your mind. This is a truly radical way to live--avoided at all costs by some, unreservedly embraced by others. Brave and blessed are those who dare to go all in!
We are going to discover more of what it means to live a God-first life. I hope you will listen with a heart that is eager to follow where Jesus leads. As all of us do that together, we...

When Saul of Tarsus got grace-bombed by Jesus on the road to Damascus, how could he have known that it would not be the last time?
The grace of God is far too powerful to simply save us from death and judgment. That is just the beginning of its potent work in our lives. This Sunday at White Pine, we will see--in the apostle Paul's life, and in our own lives--what else God's grace is capable of.

What happens to people who get grace-bombed?
The Bible tells us that when God gives us a gift we don't deserve, we are dramatically changed by that gift. But changed how? That's what we'll find out this Sunday at White Pine. I hope you'll join us and learn more about God's amazing grace!

Grace. You may be able to define it, but can you begin to fathom its depth? And are you aware of its many dimensions?
The longer and harder you you look at it--and the Bible gives us plenty of sightings--the more amazing grace becomes. It's not just a religious word; it's a real-life force that forever changes everything it touches.
February 2019 is grace month at White Pine. Join us and get in on it!

If you want to know whether the pursuit of your highest priority leads to fulfillment, just find an elderly person who has been where you are going. Their words, their memories, even their bodies will give you an almost prophetic window into your future.
