    Contributed by Dan Cormie on Nov 17, 2008
    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,333 views

    A tendency to rebel against authority, an exaggerated desire to win the approval of others, and a skewed definition of what it means to be successful; these deadly ingredients combined to create the misadventures of my life and ministry so far.

    Dakota Community Church November 16, 2008 (pm) Confessions of a Misguided Innovator Begin by reading Ephesians 4:1-16 Ephesians 4:14 Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men ...read more

    Paul writes to reveal to the believers in Rome the wrath of God, and to show us that all around we have evidence of God’s authority, if only we would look at creation and behold the Creator.

    If take warning signs posted by local authorities about thin ice, it’s even more important for us to take God seriously when he warns about the coming judgment.

    Every year people require rescuing after falling through thin ice. Some don’t make it. They drown before help can arrive. That’s why provinces spend tens of thousands of dollars warning people to stay off thin ice. People could avoid a lot of trouble for themselves and others if they just took ...read more

    Jesus is so much more. He is not a “copy” of God, and he is not a facsimile of God, Jesus is the exact visible image of the invisible God. And as such, He is the author of our family...the family of God.

    Today, we celebrate Easter, the incredible event in which Jesus Christ, who died on our behalf, rose again from the dead. But we really aren’t celebrating an event, but rather a Person. We aren’t worshipping an event, but a Person. For us to grasp the significance of Easter, we really need to ...read more

    In this lesson we look at the way God reacted when Israel rebelled against Moses on two occasions. God wants us to submit to and cooperate with the authorities he has placed in our lives.

    Introduction: A. One of my embarrassing ministry mistakes came early on, while I was still in school at Harding. 1. I was working part-time as a minister for a congregation outside of town named the Highway Church of Christ. (Yes, it was right next to the highway.) 2. Anyhow, I was teaching a ...read more

    The world we live in has undergone drastic social change. Authority has become a dirty word. We find it difficult to give our total support and loyalty to our parents or teachers.

    Address Series

     | 4,592 views

    Paul's call to the office of an Apostle had nothing to do with personal merit; he says instead that he is "an apostle by the will of God," and this is what constitutes the ground of the authority he claims in the Corinthian Church.

    Lesson 1.1: Address Scripture 1 Corinthians 1.1-1.3 1 Cor 1:1-3 (KJV) 1 Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother, 2 Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all ...read more

    The Lord gives wisdom and he is the author of wisdom. Wisdom was with God even before creation of the world. Wisdom is not easy to find. It remains a divine mystery in spite of its presence in all parts of the universe.

    Wisdom from God Proverbs 2:6-15 An angel appears at a meeting of religious leaders and tells their leader that in return for his unselfish and excellent behavior, God will reward him with his choice of infinite wealth, wisdom, or beauty. Without hesitating, the leader selects infinite wisdom. ...read more

    All Christian agree that Christ is their king, but king of what? To many, humility and servitude smack of weakness, yet it is the true source of power, strength and authority, and this message today is not radiating from our churches.

    "The Intersection Of Faith And Doubt"

    Contributed by David Henderson on Dec 29, 2016
     | 7,881 views

    We know from previous passages of scripture that Jesus had given them the authority to heal and they had been successful many times. But this time they seem to be in over their heads. They pray and nothing happens.

    "The Intersection of Faith and Doubt" Mark 9:14-24 We find in the scripture that nearly 40 times Jesus performed an act of healing. Water to wine. Fed 5000 without very little food. He healed the blind, the deaf; the lame. And the reason was simple: it was never just about the healing…it was ...read more

    Freedom is not found in discarding the yoke of Christ; it's found in losing our own burden. It's not found in discarding his authority; it's an amazing truth that freedom is found under the yoke of Christ.

    Do Not Fear (Sermon 1) Series

    "Do not fear" is one of the most common commands in the Bible. Why? Because it's the greatest tool of the enemy to steal you from your identity and your authority.
