    Is the idea that God is working just wishful thinking? What does that look like if he is?

    (Introduction) (Other ideas might be the pains of road construction: and the signs that say, “Completed in 2011 as promised) The grief of my grandfather’s loss was still fresh.

     | 73,608 views

    be informed that you cannot experience much of God’s power until you become spiritually violent. Another important truth is that violence is allowed in the spiritual world. The reason violence is allowed is that the powers that are working against people’

    The Bible tells us in Zechariah 3 that Joshua the priest was standing before God and the devil at the same time was standing at his right hand to resist him. But Zechariah was lucky because the Lord rebuked the devil on his behalf. According to that passage, the problem of Joshua was that he was ...read more

    When we are in the midst of despair take some time to remember those times when God has been faithful, when He has spoken to us and has worked in power.

    The Discipline of Remembering June 5, 2011 Psalm 77 Intro: Remembering is an important spiritual discipline, with one very important caution. 31 years ago, a 9yr old boy sat on the left side of the tiny sanctuary, about two thirds of the way back, listening to a visiting choir from some long ...read more

    Is it not a true testimony that the “word of God is a living powerful”, and that “ all God’s promises are Yes and Amen?” Is not our God an awesome God? Who is like him? Who can guard like him? Who is so loving as he is? The whole bible is full of promises

    High Seas 2 - Paul Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,132 views

    Because we live on a fallen planet with other fallen human beings it is possible to find ourselves in the midst of a life shattering storm through no fault of our own. The effects of the fall visit themselves randomly upon the creation.

    Dakota Community Church July 10, 2011 High Seas 2 - Paul Luke 6:46-49 46 “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say? 47 I will show you what he is like who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice. 48 He is like a man building a house, who dug ...read more

    The crossing of the Jordan River reminded us of the need to have a heart to follow God, a faith to believe Him fully, and the courage to act on His Word. God will do His amazing works, very often, beyond what we can see or imagine.

    [The sermon thoughts here taken and adapted from Edmund Chan’s book Growing Deep in Faith] God has promised to give His people the land of Canaan and to guide them there. • It does not mean, however that the journey will be smooth and easy. In fact, the opposite is true - there are obstacles and ...read more

    As James talks to us in James 1 about not being deceived, he gives us some reasons that we can know that God is good no matter what our circumstances.

    In the mid to late 90’s people in the church began to say God is good--- all the time--- all the time---God is good. It’s easy to proclaim and to shout aloud the goodness of God when things are going great! It’s easy to brag on Jesus when people are coming to know Christ in large ...read more

    If Your Presence Does Not Go With Us, Do Not Bring Us Up From Here

    Contributed by Jose R. Hernandez on Apr 9, 2011
    based on 9 ratings
     | 47,454 views

    We haven’t fully experienced God’s presence in our life because we haven’t been actively seeking it. In other words, we only seek God’s presence when we find ourselves in tight spots, or when we want something. Why do we act this way?

    A great truth about life is that at times things that happen can hold us back. In other words, sometimes we experience situations, or we have to go through circumstances that weaken and/or discourage us. Sometimes we have to go through situations that rob our peace, and attempt to make us lose ...read more
