    Without follow-through many atheletes would not hit the mark. The same is applicable in every area of our life. How’s your follow-through?

    How’s Your Follow-Through? Luke 9:62 (NKJV) – 57) Now it happened as they journeyed on the road, that someone said to Him, “Lord, I will follow You wherever you go.” 58) And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.” ...read more

    God has always wanted us to worship Him, but without us listening to Him we have a problem understanding what He has to say.

    Can You Hear Me Now” John 10:25-27 Most of us have seen the commercial on TV done by Verizon Wireless. It’s the one where the guy walks around to various places where a phone normally would not work. He goes out further and further away from the main connection and asks the question, “Can you hear ...read more

    A Change Will Do You Good

     | 7,510 views

    This talks about the need for change in the church. Jesus saves, but the church sure doesn’t. Can we change our lives without embracing heresy?

    Ecclesiastes 10:10 – A Change Will Do You Good (NOTE: Most of my thinking for this flows from Brian MacLaren’s book "A New Kind of Christian". Some of this was really quite hard to say. Use with caution.) Pastor Rodney Buchanan shares a thought with us: We used to sing a song entitled, “Give ...read more

    Most people live and die without discovering their purpose for being on earth. This message will help believers easily identify their gifting by asking a few simple qiestons.

    Living With Definite Aim 1Cor.9:26 Therefore I do not run uncertainly without definite aim. (AMP) Acts 26:16-18 I have appeared unto you for this purpose: • (V-16) to make you a minister • (V-17) sending you to the gentiles • (V-18) to open their eyes to truth 2Tim.4:7 I have fought a good ...read more

    based on 44 ratings
     | 20,125 views

    We have to (1) "see" with our heart and have faith in God, and (2) ask with all our heart, because without prayer nothing will be accomplished.

    Hardships and sufferings are a real fact in life. We see one today in our passage – a blind man. In those times, blindness was far worse that it is today. The blind man was reduced to begging because there was no help or work for such people. You can imagine how difficult it must be for them, ...read more

    Without a doubt this was and is the most difficult message which I have ever had to prepare and deliver. It’s speaks of change, confrontation, call, an challenge.

    State of the Church 2008 Hebrews 12:1-2 Turn with me to Hebrews 12. Before we read the first two verses of Hebrews 12, we need to be reminded that Hebrews 11 gives us what has been referred to as “Faith’s Hall of Fame.” Here are some great men and women of faith listed with the 2 words “by faith” ...read more

    Is life simply a matter of taking what comes and learning to live with it? Although there is some of that in the human experience; God has not left us without options.

    Dakota Community Church February 03, 2008 Grace Or… There are many things over which we have no control what-so-ever in this life. Most things in fact I would say. We have no control over when, where, or to whom we are born. We have no control over the other people in our lives, though many of us ...read more

    God has called placed us in a particular work and place with a purpose. How do we use the workplace to evangelise, without offeding the fellow workers?

    In the past few years it seems that men are doing what is right in their own sight without any restraints. It’s time that we understand lawlessness!

    Lawlessness Text: Matthew 7: 21-23 Lawlessness is a trap; it’s a trap because lawlessness can start just with a bad attitude toward someone in authority. Lawlessness always becomes more progressive and usually thinks there the only one who is right. In Webster’s ...read more

    An Endangered Species

    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,084 views

    It is futile to have faith without deeds. In simple language, it is hypocrisy and such a faith can never save anybody. One’s faith is dead if it is not accompanied by action.

    An Endangered Species What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to him, “Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about his physical ...read more
