Hope In Our Creator And Lord Series

Contributed by Dean Courtier on Jan 25, 2018

In Psalm 8 King David speaks of looking at everything God has created, in the heavens, in the sky and on the Earth. David is amazed that in all of this vast creation of everything we can see, and everything we can’t, God cares about individual people.

Our theme this year is Hope Found Here, and this month we are considering the Hope we have in our Creator, Our Heavenly Father, the one who created everything we see, and everything we can’t see. God, is the Creator, He exists, He is not a product of man’s imagination, He is real, He is the basis ...read more

Man, The Created Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Mar 30, 2014

God said He created man in His image. But what do we do if we've damaged and warped that image? How can we ever repair and regain what was lost?

OPEN: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3IRZPjdpr0 (Video “Imago Dei” on youtube.com - play it through the 1:00 minute mark then fade out) Psalm 8:3-4 asks an intriguing question: “When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set ...read more

Man Has Twisted, Contorted, Inverted, And Opposed All God’s Creation – Part 3 – Genesis Chapter 1 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 4, 2023

We take a serious look at how man using evolution has inverted and twisted God’s creation. Man sets up his own idols and worships them. Man was created in the image of God not the image of an ape or Neanderthal. We follow more of the inversion of Genesis and look at gender distortions.

MAN HAS TWISTED, CONTORTED, INVERTED, AND OPPOSED ALL GOD’S CREATION – PART 3 – GENESIS CHAPTER 1 We have been considering our present time to see that at the end of the Church age, more and more evil is overtaking the world. This growing explosion of wickedness is according to 2Timothy chapter ...read more

Who You Are In God’s Eyes

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on May 7, 2020

God, through the Apostle Peter, gives us several images of what it means to be a Christian rightly connected to Christ and to each other. Holding onto these images can help us weather the storms of life.

1 Peter 2:2-10 Who You Are in God’s Eyes Happy Mother’s Day, church! If you are able to join us for our 11:00 Zoom call today (that is, Sunday), mothers, we’d like you to show us a picture of you and your kids, maybe when they were young, if you have one handy.

Be A Christ Centered Godly Man Series

Contributed by Shaila Touchton on Nov 13, 2021

The Bible is for anyone who desires to be a godly man. God created man and woman after His own image (Genesis 1:27), and part of being in His image is that we are to reflect His character.

Csi Jerusalem - The Motive Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Apr 10, 2006

The "Motive" of Christ’s death on the cross is fairly clear in Scripture... but there are people who are offended by that message.

OPEN: (We started the sermon playing the theme music for "CSI Miami". Then commented:) Some of you may be asking “What in the world was that?” That was the theme music from the hit TV show “CSI Miami”. There’s CSI, CSI Miami, and CSI New York… and for the next few weeks we’re going to be ...read more

Living In Laodicea

Contributed by Dan Cormie on Aug 9, 2008

Are you opting out of Sunday morning because you are a cutting edge postmodern thinker blazing the trail to a new kind of christianity; or are you just sleeping in and living in lukewarm apathy?

Dakota Community Church August 10, 2008 Living in Laodicea Last week in my sermon on baptism I mentioned that for a while I described myself as emergent on my Facebook profile but that I had removed it. I like the idea of having a discussion about how we do things, how we treat sin and sinners, ...read more

It's Really Me, Really

Contributed by Roy Probus on May 17, 2008

We must first love ourselves before we can love others. Looking at our friends should help us define who we are but not at the expense of ourselves.

Nornan, what a mess. Jim burns tells a story of a friend of his named Norman. Some of you know someone like him. Norman was the type of person to change fads and friends very quickly.

The Mirror Series

Contributed by Eric Ferguson on May 21, 2008

Are you willing to look in a full length mirror...where people can see you for who you are? It’s the only way you will get an accurate picture of what you look like and what others see of you. Or will you just take a glance, and turn to forget what you s

What’s the first thing you do when you get up in the morning? Whatever it is, it’s probably the same thing every day. Everybody seems to have their own morning rituals to get them going.

The Sons Of Glory Pt.2 Series

Contributed by Mark Baker on Jan 17, 2010

As I read and meditate on this passage of Scripture, I find myself in awe of the profound truth of Jesus’ prayer. For many Christians it is hard to comprehend, much less receive. Yet, Jesus words are truth...

John 17:20. "I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; 21. "that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. 22. "And the glory which You gave Me I ...read more

Sensing God - See Series

Contributed by Allan Quak on Jan 15, 2018

This message is one part, of a five part series, on sensing God. The question in focus is how do we see God? The most important aspect of the answer to this question is to see God as he has shown himself to us in Christ.

A little boy was drawing a picture on a piece of paper. His mother came up to him and asked him what he was drawing. The little boy responded, "I am drawing a picture of God." The mother said to her boy that no one knows what God looks like. The boy said confidently to his mum, “Well they ...read more

Vc1 - Put On The New Man Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Mar 17, 2020

The slave was not even classified as a human being; he was merely a living tool, with no rights of his own. His master could either beat or brand or maim or even kill him at his whim. There could not be any fellowship in the ancient world between a slave and a free man.
