    In this message, we look at the role HOPE plays in the manifestation of FAITH in our lives.

    The title of the message this morning is “Repainting Your Canvas.” How many of you have seen “The Mona Lisa”? I don’t remember the painter’s name, but whoever he was, “The Mona Lisa” was in his mind long before it hit the canvas. Every stroke of “The Mona Lisa” was already up here (pointed to my ...read more

Easter was not just that day that Christ became alive, but the beginning of new life for His disciples and the promise and seal for new life for all who ...read more

    . As we look together at the life of Daniel, a Hebrew in exile in Babylon, we can see the exact debacle taking place there. But, the outcomes might be different for Daniel?

    When our faith is properly anchored in Christ it makes a noticable difference in our lives, qualifies us to be God’s ministers, and brings us God’s salvation.

    Americans have a love/hate relationship with faith. One the one hand people in our culture admire people who have a strong faith. Success literature tells us, "If you believe it, you can achieve it." The Robin Williams movie "Jacob the Liar" captures our culture’s fascination with faith. In the ...read more

    Part one of a series detailing the differences between the Kingdom of God and the kingdoms of this world. How does it look when the Kingdom of God infiltrates a family, a society, and a local church.

    Dakota Community Church May 20, 2007 Kingdom of God - I This morning I want to begin what I believe will be a four week series of messages about the differences between the “Kingdom of God” and its citizens and the “Kingdoms of this world” and their citizens.

    With this message I want to contrast the difference between living a life away from the presence of the Lord, and living a life in the abiding presence of the Lord as illustrated in the lives of Enoch and Eve.

    Title: “Enoch and Eve” Can you imagine the dinner conversation that Adam and Eve must have had the day that she taken of the forbidden. Adam must have asked Eve about the Devil. What is he like? What Eve might have said to her husband? Satan is So Wonderful? (Gen 3:6 KJV) And when ...read more

    Ther will always be mystery when it comes to suffering. We would certainly desgin the Christian life to have less suffering and more fun. But God has a different plan.

    Re-Discovering The Resurrection

     | 2,767 views

    Emotions ran high for those who witnessed the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. How those emotions changed and what changed them made the difference between faith and disbelief.

    For many of us, when I say the word "Easter" or "Resurrection Sunday" or even "Third Day" it brings things to mind. If you are a Christian you may think of the empty tomb, or of the angels and Jesus’ visit to the disciples. If you are not a Christian you might think of the Easter Bunny or "maybe I ...read more

    John is often called the beloved or is referred to in the Scripture as "that disciple whom Jesus loved." What was it that made him different from the rest? Can we be like him?

    The Disciple Whom Jesus Loved John 13:21-28 (Note verse 23 “Whom Jesus Loved”) Intro: The Bible calls John in four places not by his name, but it calls him the disciple whom Jesus loved.

     | 4,198 views

    How is your life wired? Jesus paints a picture of God\’s character to show us how differently we are wired and how much we are in need of a Savior.

    A few years ago I thought I was pretty smart. We were putting in a hot tub and some people said - you should have it installed by a professional. "I don’t need no professional!" I responded. Well, we got the thing in okay- after hefting it sideways and rolling it on some very flimsy hand trucks or ...read more

    Of Superstars And Starlight Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 4, 2009
     | 3,749 views

    We have not yet learned the difference between superficial superstars and the starlight wisdom of Jesus. He transforms gold into Kingdom power, frankincense into respect, and myrrh into the preface for resurrection.

    In 1970 Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber brought out a rock opera with the provocative title, Jesus Christ Superstar. Predictably, not everyone was amused. Some condemned it as sacrilegious. But if you listened carefully and let your defenses down a notch or two, their work communicated the ...read more
