Podcast appearances and mentions of greg sidders

What does it look like to do the will of God on earth as it is done in heaven? No one has ever made it more clear than Jesus did in the Sermon on the Mount. In this conversation with Joe Campbell, Greg Sidders talks about how to build our lives on the solid foundation of Christ's teaching.  The post Manifesto first appeared on White Pine Community Church.

In this message, Greg Sidders discusses the biggest threat that we face in our efforts to find or follow Jesus. But, ironically, you may not be sure this threat exists—which puts you in even greater danger. The post This Means War first appeared on White Pine Community Church.

In this message, filmed at our our new church property, Greg Sidders and others share the story of what God has done to make it possible for us to establish an epicenter of ministry to the 50,000 people who live in the communities northeast of Portland, Maine. The post Live From Our Future Home first appeared on White Pine Community Church.

What toll has a lack of fellowship taken on you over the past three months? More importantly, what toll will it take if your isolation continues for the next three months? In this message, Greg Sidders talks about how to stay connected, or get connected, with other Christians during the surreal summer of 2020.

Listen to "Inescapable Love" by Greg Sidders, Sunday, 5-12-19Try 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.

Notes and Discussion Questions, "Habitual Worship" by Greg Sidders

Listen to "Habitual Worship" by Greg Sidders, Sunday, 5-5-19Worship 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 Psalm 145--words that Jesus Himself sang--to fuel our praise and lift our spirit.

Listen to "Signature Song" by Greg Sidders, Sunday, 4-28-19We 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 and honest prayers what we know to be true about God.This Sunday at White Pine, we are beginning a series on the Psalms. We're calling it The Songs of Jesus, because the words that we find there are the very words that our Lord Himself prayed.

Listen to "GOD F1RST - Investments" by Greg Sidders, Sunday, 4-7-19I 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 represent our faith in God and our love for those who do not yet know Him. The result will be a big step forward in our goal of building a permanent facility in a strategic location, so that more of the 50,000 people who live in our region can find and follow Jesus.I hope that you will listen, prayed up and ready to take a joyful new step of faith and commitment in your relationship with God!

Listen to "GOD F1RST - Perspective" by Greg Sidders, Sunday, 3-31-19D.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. The people you will meet are just too Christlike to miss.

Listen to "GOD F1RST - Perspective" by Greg Sidders, Sunday, 3-23-19Imagine 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, 3-17-19In 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 will tell you the story. And together we will decide how to respond to the greatness that has been thrust upon us.

Listen to "GOD F1RST - Ownership" by Greg Sidders, Sunday, 3-10-19Putting 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 are going to see God magnified in our community like never before. I can hardly wait!

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

Notes and Discussion Questions, "When You Get Grace-Bombed" by Greg Sidders

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

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

Listen to "I'd Rather Have Jesus" by Greg Sidders, Sunday, 1-27-19If 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 John has been so encouraging to me.  For the past few months, we have been studying, not just this book, but also its octogenerian author. And he has taught us a lot about how life unfolds for those who follow Jesus.This Sunday at White Pine, we will finish up our study of 1 John by taking one more good long look at the apostle John, a man whose life ought to inspire our own.
