    based on 17 ratings
     | 9,286 views

    In the story of the feeding of the 5,000, Jesus is telling us that we all have resources that we don’t yet realize. We tend to forget that, with Jesus, we have divine resources at our disposal.

    Give Them Something to Eat Matthew 14:13-21 August 7, 2005 John the Baptist had become a thorn in the side of the monarchy and an enemy of those who believed that they didn’t have to be accountable for their actions. Out of hatred and jealousy, King Herod’s wife and daughter demanded – and ...read more

    You can be extraordinary. You don’t have to stay ordinary. God has plans to move you from an ordinary live to an extraordinary life. “I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD..."

    Introduction - Is it just me or do you ever feel not good enough? - Do you ever feel like maybe you weren’t brought here to do something extraordinary? - That you were designed to live an ordinary life? - Just an ordinary person living an ordinary life; nothing fancy? - I feel that way ...read more

    Sign, Sign, Everywhere A Sign Series

    Contributed by Matthew Rogers on Feb 20, 2002
    based on 91 ratings
     | 16,963 views

    All churches have signs. Most of these are not literal signs, but rather unwritten messages that are communicated loud and clear - especially to people who don’t go to church.

    The Greatest Place on Earth – Part 4 February 3, 2002 (For this message we had 6 signs made and I unveiled them one at a time. In our foyer we have permanently hung the three that communicate what churhes should. Thanks to Mike Breaux, Lexington, KY for the seed idea.) INTRODUCTION Play the ...read more

    50-DAY SPIRITUAL ADVENTURE A look at the life of Judas to see what happens when dreams die, so we don’t have to miss the resurrection.

    Running after dreams without God is futile. When we achieve our own ambitions apart from God’s dream we come up empty. ▸ Alexander the Great was not satisfied, even when he had subdued the nations of world. He wept because there were no more worlds to conquer; Alexander died at an early ...read more

    The Parable or story of the Rich Man and Lazarus offers us some poignant insights into the realities of hell. Jesus makes it clear that we don’t have to go.

    LET’S TALK ABOUT H-E-DOUBLE-HOCKEY STICKS A husband and wife were riding their motorcycles to Sturgis, South Dakota for the annual motorcycle convention when the accident occurred. A young woman with a car full of friends and talking on the cell phone swerved into the wife’s motorbike causing ...read more

    A Much Needed Source Of Power

    based on 68 ratings
     | 19,991 views

    Too many Christians are working without a Source of power in their lives and they are virtually useless because they don’t have the spiritual power necessary to do the work of God.

    A Much Needed Source of Power John 20:19-31 04/23/06 I bought my vehicle in May of 2002, brand spanking new, and drove it proudly off the lot. As of today, that car has carried me 197,600 miles on the highways and byways of my life. I wonder how many gallons of gas I’ve used and how much money ...read more

    Contributed by Dan Cormie on Sep 13, 2009
     | 3,538 views

    Should we even have pastors and elders? Don’t we all walk in relationship with God and if so why would we need spiritual leadership?

    Dakota Community Church July 12, 2009 The Field & the Force 4 What of Pastors and Elders? So far we have looked at: 1. When the Church is the field When the church is the field it is seen as the place people come to do the work of God. 2. When the Church is the (labor) force When the church ...read more

    based on 24 ratings
     | 11,230 views

    God’s Word outlines for us how we can live in peace. We don’t have to allow circumstances to dictate how we live.

    Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God which transcends all ...read more

     | 7,402 views

    When we do God's work, we can expect opposition. We don't have to be discouraged. God will finish what He has started.

    We started Ezra 1 with the move of God and the edict of King Cyrus, and the start of a long and difficult journey for the exiles returning back to Jerusalem. • In Ezra 2 we have the list of the returning exiles, by families and towns, and the various roles they play. • In Ezra 3 we saw the altar ...read more

    You don’t have to fake your success, be brave to accept your struggles and failures and muster your strength to win! YOUR CHARIOT IS GETTING READY!

    Tailor made CHARIOT Genesis 41:43 “Then he had Joseph ride in the chariot reserved for his second-in-command.

    Living Justly

     | 7,047 views

    Is it possible that we just don’t see the people? Many people hide behind rules and regulations, in order to not have to deal with the messiness that comes with real life.

    I want to talk about living a just life. I thought that our readings for the book of Exodus would be the perfect book to use for this but that passage dealt more with the logistics of the courts system. So, the passage of Scripture that we will use today comes from 1 Peter 3:8-14. It is as ...read more

    The Days Vanish Like Smoke

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 20, 2022
     | 1,234 views

    The young make mistakes, and if they don’t have a strong and self-controlled father figure in their lives, they often make rash decisions and hurt themselves and others in the act.

    Saturday of the 25th Week in Course 2022 When we read this portion of the Wisdom book of Qoheleth/Ecclesiastes, it is always wise itself to remember who is writing it to whom. The “preacher,” Qoheleth in Hebrew, is a wise man of advanced years. The reader or listener is redundantly called, “O ...read more

    Jesus Loves The Church

    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,766 views

    I have met a lot of people who tell me that they believe in God, but they don't believe in organized religion. In other words, they don't care about going to church. Why does Christ love the church, or in our case, why does Christ love Bethel?

    Purpose: To describe Christ's intimate connection with the local church. Aim: I want the listener to have an exalted view of the church.

    Although it may be hard to admit, there are many things that we cannot change.

    Although it may be hard to admit, there are many things that we cannot change.
