    Sermon # 11 - What's In Your Hand? Series

    Every small and insignificant thing that is in our hands can become a mighty tool in the hands of our glorious and mighty God. So, what is it that we must do to accomplish extraordinary things for the Lord? Read on to know how this could become a possibility in your life.

    In Exodus 15:6, we read “Your right hand, O LORD, glorious in power.”(NRSV) 1. The Hand of God God’s hand is not only ‘glorious in power’ but as we read in another version His hand is also ‘Majestic in power’. The question that may arise in one’s mind as we read this verse is that, ‘If the hand ...read more

    Discovering Your "Why” In Life Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 24, 2024
     | 1,234 views

    The will of the Father wasn’t an optional thing for Jesus; it was an essential thing. It wasn’t a cul-de-sac, but it was His main thoroughfare. Just as you were to finish a big porterhouse steak, Jesus is satisfied by doing the Father’s will. It was His source of life.

    Have you discovered your purpose? Do you know your “why”? Many American Christians fall into the trap that exists only to make money or to be happy. Do you know why God has placed you here on earth? Do you know your “why”? Invitation At the conclusion of today’s message, you will be invited to ...read more

    Go ahead and trust him with the needs of your life - I didn’t say wants, the things that we think we need - but what do we really need. God will provide the right thing, at just the right place, at just the right time.

    God will provide for all our needs. Sometimes we may question whether God truly cares for us, especially when we face difficult circumstances. But rest assured, God is our provider. He sees and cares for our needs. In Genesis 22, we read about Abraham being tested by God. He was asked to sacrifice ...read more

    Paul, in 2 Timothy 4:7, shares three things he did to maintain his passion for Christ and the Church. These three things can help us develop a sustainable cadence in our lives: Fight the Good Fight, Finish the Race, and Keep the Faith.

    Today, we're chatting about the rhythms in our lives - the good, the bad, and the ugly. We're gonna talk about how to keep our fire for Jesus and the Church burning bright, no matter what. Imagine a candle. When you first light it, the flame is strong and bright. But if you don't take care of it, ...read more

    There was one phrase that Jesus never used of Himself... but when others used it, dramatic things would happen. What was that phrase?

    OPEN: A Jewish father was concerned about his son. He had not truly raised him to be grounded in the faith of Judaism… So, hoping to remedy this he sent his son to Israel so the boy could experience his heritage. A year later the young man returned home. He said, "Father, thank you for sending ...read more

    Why doesn’t the church look anything like the Kingdom Jesus spoke about? Here are a few things that need to change.

    Dakota Community Church July 1, 2007 Kingdom of God IV In A Kingdom Church This morning I want to continue our series of messages about the differences between the “Kingdom of God” and its citizens and the “Kingdoms of this world” and their citizens.

    The proper response to mourning over the reality of suffering and evil in the world, and the key to meekness, is not conquering desire, but learning to desire the right things.

    Are you one of the people who have been following the state of the Bronco cornerbacks’ hamstrings? Both Bailey and Alexander suffered injuries that kept them out of the Jacksonville game and snapped Bailey’s 99 consecutive-game streak, which is the longest in the NFL for a cornerback. However, ...read more

    What does it mean to return thanks? The could be the one thing that God uses to help us recognize that He is the source of it all!

    Returning THANKS Luke 17:11-19 When I was little, we didn’t go to church much. I don’t remember anyone ever “asking the blessing” around our table. I guess we just ate like hogs, with no thought of thanking God for his provision. The only times I recall “grace” being said before a meal was when ...read more

    #2 in series. Knowing what has already happened to us helps us realize that Christianity is not the same thing as self-improvement.

    Colossians 1:9-14 – If You Only Knew Today we are continuing in our series started last week on the book of Colossians. Over the next few months, we’ll be learning from the words of Paul to the church in Colosse, about how to put Christ first in our lives. Today we are in 1:9-14. ...read more

    A Loaf Of Bread, A Jug Of Wine, And Laughter

    Dated 1989. Our faith is not joyless. God uses the simplest of things to bring us support and gladness in the midst of difficult times.

    Says the poet, "A loaf of bread, a jug of wine, and Thou beside me singing in the wilderness … Wilderness were paradise enow" The very picture of romantic fulfillment. All I need is a chunk of good fragrant bread, a flask full of the vintner’s art, and you whom I love, and I will be fulfilled. ...read more

    The very first thing that I noticed about our text is the doubling of Simon’s name in Jesus’ statement, “Simon, Simon”.

    The doubling of words almost sounds like people when they stutter. Often people who stutter repeat their words. I love to hear people who stutter. I do not mean that in a derogatory way, I REALLY ENJOY HEARING PEOPLE TALK WHO STUTTER. Illus: A really huge muscular guy with a bad stutter goes ...read more

    Justice isn’t necessarily a desirable thing. Better to receive God’s grace than to have justice applied to our lives.
