Have you ever wondered if you have been disqualified from reaching your God-given potential because of some kind of personal failure? In this study of John 21 you are going to watch how Jesus relates to a disciple who wonders how God could ever use him again after the mistakes he made. In the process you will hear the voice of Jesus speaking to your heart about your most regrettable moments.The post Life After Failure first appeared on White Pine Community Church.

Have you ever hit the wall in your spiritual life? Wherever you are in your journey, the closer you get to the finish line, the harder it can be to pursue truth and follow Jesus.

In John 20, many different kinds of people hit the wall at the exact same time. In this message we’ll see how God helped them—and can help us—break through the wall and finish well.The post When You Hit the Wall first appeared on White Pine Community Church.

Most of us believe that God is loving, but sometimes it’s hard to believe that He loves us personally. How can we know for sure that He does? How can we know it when we don’t feel it? How can we know it when our circumstances argue against it? John 19 answers that question in a very unusual way: Not by telling us about God’s love, but by showing it to us in a way we will never forget.The post The Proof of God’s Love first appeared on White Pine Community Church.

There has never been, in the history of the world, a more unjustifiable killing than that of Jesus Christ. It was so shocking, in fact, that historians have been speculating about how it happened and who was responsible for the last 2,000 years. But to John, the writer of the fourth Gospel, it was no mystery.The post Who Killed Jesus? first appeared on White Pine Community Church.

There is no question that evil exists in our world, but does it live in you and me? Are we essentially good or sinful as human beings? Your answer to that question has profound implications for your relationship with Jesus, not to mention your eternal destiny.The post Why We Need Jesus first appeared on White Pine Community Church.

If you want to know a person’s heart, listen to them pray—not when they are self-conscious because others are listening, but when they are simply baring their soul to God.

That’s what Jesus did in John 17, and what He prayed for not only revealed His heart; it also taught us how we will pray as our heart becomes more like His.The post What Jesus Prayed For first appeared on White Pine Community Church.

If you could live during any period in history, which one would you choose?

As a Christian you might think that nothing could compare to following Jesus during His earthly ministry, but in John 16 He said that life would be better after His departure. So what is it about living in the 21st century that beats living in the first century?The post It’s a Great Time to Be Alive first appeared on White Pine Community Church.

Before Jesus went back to heaven, He told His disciples how He intended to populate it: by using them (and us) to introduce others to Him! No doubt you feel inadequate to help others live forever—but fortunately, you’re not on your own. In fact, if you will “remain” or “abide” in Him, He promises to produce eternal fruit through you. The critical question is, how do we remain/abide in Christ?The post Be Fruitful and Multiply first appeared on White Pine Community Church.

Everyone knows who the bad guys are in the Gospels: the religious leaders. Jesus spars with them so often that they are easy to despise and hard to relate to. We say, “I’m glad I’m not like them.” But it’s always good to examine ourselves to make sure we are not the kind of people Jesus would denounce. Matthew 21:23-32 helps us to do that.The post Repent?! first appeared on White Pine Community Church.
