Woodside Bible Church White Lake

Have there been moments in your life when you faced tremendous difficulties? Did you feel as though God was far away? It can be tempting to turn your back on Him when we go through these times. Today, we turn to the Daniel 2 to learn how God's wisdom, kingdom, and authority is greater than anything we face in life. Listen as Pastor Rob Bentz shares our latest sermon, A Kingdom Dream, and see how G...

As Christians in a modern world, we can feel like foreigners under pressure to blindly accept values that are in direct opposition with the gospel. Today, we're beginning a new series called Daniel: Clash of Cultures . As we step into the world of Daniel, we find ourselves in a land known for its excess, sin, and violence. This is also true of the current culture we find ourselves in today. The ke...

As we begin a new year, Pastor Rob Bentz offers the White Lake church family a vision for spiritual growth in 2024. But it's not what many might expect; to read more, pray more, or serve more. Instead, we look to the words of Jesus in Matthew 11:25-30 to know and understand the significance of Jesus' gracious invitation to come to him and find rest. 

On Christmas Eve, we conclude our sermon series, Emmanuel: God with Us , looking at the significance of the incarnation of Jesus. Through God sending His Son, who was born of a virgin, in human flesh, Believers are called to embrace redemption through repentance and belief in Jesus. True freedom is found only in Christ—and through the redemption He offers to all believers. Pastor Rob Bentz shares...

In a world that is very self-centered, the body of Christ is called to something completely different—humility. As we strive to deny ourselves and put others before our own desires, we should look to the example of Jesus. To embody humility in our own lives we can consider our position, consider our mindset, and consider our example. Listen as Pastor Kevin Pobursky shares our latest message in our...

We all know that words have power! God gave us a book, the Bible, that is filled with words for His people. Yet, we also know that God speaks to us in many ways. Yet no way is more significant than through the incarnation of Jesus, as He brought the Word to life. Join Pastor Rob Bentz for our latest message, The Incarnation of the Word.

We begin our Christmas sermon series, Emmanuel: God with Us , by looking at the person and the work of of Jesus--the Word who became flesh.

Join Pastor Rob Bentz as he kicks off our series with the sermon, The Incarnat...

Today, we conclude our series, Conflict[ed]: Pursuing Peace in a Cancel Culture , as we look at forgiveness and how vital it is in the body of Christ. Throughout Scripture, Jesus gives us several examples of forgiving those who hurt us. We should forgive because we have been forgiven much and because it is the way of the kingdom. Listen as Pastor Kevin Pobursky shares our latest message, The Absur...

Part four of our sermon series, Conflict[ed]: Pursuing Peace in a Cancel Culture , invites us to learn of the importance of handling bouts of conflict in a God-honoring manner.

Pastor Rob Bentz shares the latest message of the series, Mak...

We continue our series, Conflicted, looking at the body of Christ and how we impact the lives of others. We should have a motive of not hindering others, but rather being a help to our brothers and sisters in faith. We should also look to be vigilant against our own sin, repenting of it and believing the gospel afresh. Listen as Pastor Rob Bentz shares our latest message, Hindrance or Helpful.

Today, we begin a new sermon series, Conflict[ed]: Pursuing Peace in a Cancel Culture, tackling the controversial topic of conflict.

As we conclude our series, Thy Kingdom Come , we'll examine how Jesus reigns over disease and death. Many times, in the New Testament Jesus is seen healing people. Thus, displaying His acts of healing. That same power is alive and active today! Join Pastor Rob Bentz as he teaches from two powerful stories in Mark 5:21-43 in the sermon, Healing for the Hurting. 

Today, we reflect upon one of the more vivid and bizarre stories in Mark's Gospel. It's a story that reminds us that Jesus' reign includes the demonic realm. We see this as He takes an unclean man and restores him to new life. And Jesus is still moving and transforming lives today! Listen as Pastor Rob Bentz shares our latest message, The Expert in Exorcism, as we hear how Jesus removes our unclea...

There are times in our lives when we face all-consuming anxiety, when doubts and what-ifs fill our head. In these times, we can lose sight of God and forget that He is near. He remains calm and at peace in these times, He speaks with authority, and He calls us to step out and live in fearless faith. Allow Him to draw you out of these pits and let His comfort fill you with hope. Listen as Pastor Ke...

We are continuing in our series, Thy Kingdom Come , we see that Jesus’ reign advances through his shared word. In Mark 4, through the parable of the mustard seed, Jesus helps his followers learn how important is is for us to recognize the word's place and impact in our daily life. Listen as Pastor Rob Bentz shares our latest message, The Advance of Jesus’ Reign.

In Mark 4, Jesus tells a familiar story know as the Parable of the Sower. In this story, Jesus describes four different types of soils of the human heart. This should cause all believers to consider the condition of our heart. Jesus teaches about the the importance of having a heart that is open to the word of God and all that it asks of believers. Listen as Pastor Rob Bentz shares our latest mess...

When He calls us, we see that His call can be trusted, His call demands our commitment, and H...
