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 yo…

Listen to "Habitual Worship" by Greg Sidders, Sunday, 5-5-19 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. Whet…

Listen to "Signature Song" by Greg Sidders, Sunday, 4-28-19 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 …

Listen to "Mistaken Identity" by Will Truesdell, Sunday, 4-14-19 The story of Jesus entering Jerusalem on a donkey on Palm Sunday is a familiar story. This Sunday at White Pine Will Truesdell will help us take a closer look at that day, and what the people who were praising Jesus had hoped Jesus would be and would do. Jesus may not have met their e…

Listen to "GOD F1RST - Investments" by Greg Sidders, Sunday, 4-7-19 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…

Listen to "GOD F1RST - Perspective" by Greg Sidders, Sunday, 3-31-19 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 g…

Listen to "GOD F1RST - Perspective" by Greg Sidders, Sunday, 3-23-19 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.…

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--peopl…

Listen to "GOD F1RST - Ownership" by Greg Sidders, Sunday, 3-10-19 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 m…

Listen to "GOD F1RST - Priorities" by Greg Sidders, Sunday, 3-3-19White Pine Community Church, Cumberland, ME

Listen to "GOD IS FOR US... we already won" by Josh Sibert, Sunday, 2-24-19 Quick Quiz: What is the first one-word description of God that comes to your mind? Honestly, now: Is your word positive or negative? Our view of God impacts our attitude and our ability to persevere in following Jesus. That is one reason why God has given us His Spirit--to …

Listen to "The Power of Grace" by Greg Sidders, Sunday, 2-17-19 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 …

Listen to "When You Get Grace-Bombed" by Greg Sidders, Sunday, 2-10-19 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 amazi…

Listen to "Grace Bomb" by Greg Sidders, Sunday, 2-3-19 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…

Listen to "I'd Rather Have Jesus" by Greg Sidders, Sunday, 1-27-19 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. That's why our study of 1 Jo…
