  • Tempted

    Contributed by James Jerpseth on Mar 3, 2001
    based on 24 ratings
     | 2,788 views

    Having grown up in hte desert, I know how harsh the place is and how tempting the options presented by hte devil really are. On the surface the temptations seem harmless and perhaps even good in the right hands but they all take our attention off God.

    I grew up going to the desert, and thought that I knew what the desert lands are all about. I’ve been camping many times in the Anza Berrego wilderness and understand that the desert is a harsh and foreboding place. I know to stay on the trails, look for snakes and take lots of extra water. I ...read more

  • The Sanhedrin – The Cruelty Of Injustice (3/12) Series

    Contributed by Eduardo (Eddie) Fernandes on Jun 17, 2020
     | 2,345 views

    Life is harsh, people are often cruel, and accusations leveled at the innocent are crippling and inhumane. What can we learn from the Master when evil surrounds us? How do we handle betrayal and condemnation? We learn from Jesus as He faced opposition.

    Message by: Tom Clark Introduction: Slide 1 (Title of Series) Good morning, Church. I hope you, like I, have been enjoying and gaining some wonderful insights from our current 12-part series derived from the Stations of the Cross. At the first station, the Last Supper, we learned about our need ...read more

  • The Via Dolorosa – The Universality Of Suffering (5/12) Series

    Contributed by Eduardo (Eddie) Fernandes on Jun 17, 2020
     | 3,256 views

    Suffering is universal. Everyone experiences it. None escape it. It is part and parcel of the human condition. Many Evangelicals love to focus on “health/wealth/blessings” forgetting to teach the other “side of the coin”. As such people are ill-equipped to deal with life’s many harsh blows.

    Message by Pr. Eddie Fernandes Introduction Hold On Video (lights off…video begins…video ends…lights on…Eddie & Marta on stage) Hold on! How many of you need to take hold of God’s hand this morning because you are struggling? Life hasn’t been easy. Perhaps you’ve lost your job. Maybe the ...read more

  • Jesus Loves The Little Children Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jan 21, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 4,929 views

    The difference between the world and God is very harsh when it come to children. God considers them precious, while the world often considers them expendable. What is God's attitude toward abortion and what can we do for those who struggle with that decision?

    The passage I read this morning is intriguing. The story is recorded here in Luke as well as in the Gospels of Matthew and Mark. And what I find interesting is that there’s this contrast between the views of the disciples… and Jesus. There’s this group of parents who are bringing “infants” to ...read more

  • Unity Of The Body - 1 Series

    Contributed by Dan Cormie on Oct 15, 2011
     | 3,991 views

    In order to reveal the miracle of unity that exists in Christ, Paul lays down the harsh reality of how divided the fall has left us. He doesn’t want the Ephesians (or us) to miss the weight of this thing. He doesn’t want a “no big deal” attitude to arise

    Dakota Community Church October 16, 2011 Unity of the Body - 1 Ephesians 2:11-22 Therefore, remember that formerly you who are Gentiles by birth and called “uncircumcised” by those who call themselves “the circumcision” (that done in the body by the hands of men) — 12 remember that at that time ...read more

  • Belonging At The King's Table Series

    Contributed by Paul Robinson on Sep 14, 2022
     | 2,737 views

    I love this story! It’s a story of incredible, undeserved kindness. We live in a harsh world, and while there are stories of kindness out there, it’s far too uncommon. The world will show kindness to its own, but we are called to show kindness to anyone and everyone, even our enemies. But why?

    1. Mephibosheth Who was Mephiboshet? —Background: II Sam. 4:4 —He was a cripple. Our culture has changed certain words, such as “lame” or “dumb.” Mephibosheth was a cripple, that is, he was lame. —He was Jonathan’s son. As you’ll recall, Jonathan was David’s best friend. He deserved death, ...read more

  • Don't Act Like A Christian Just Be One! Series

    based on 19 ratings
     | 35,255 views

    Being a Christian isn’t like wearing a winter coat, one minute we put it on because we’re cold, and then the next minute we take it off and store it away until harsh weather rolls in. Yet that’s how many of us act. We pull out our church clothes, our chur

    Do you ever feel like you are just going through the motions of being a Christian? Being a Christian isn’t like wearing a winter coat, one minute we put it on because we’re cold, and then the next minute we take it off and store it away until harsh weather rolls in. Yet that’s how many of us act. ...read more

  • Kindness

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Aug 22, 2021
     | 9,830 views

    The message encourages Christians to cooperate with the Holy Spirit in the development of kindness in their character. Evidence of biblical kindness in our lives is explored as well as Issues that undermine kindness.

    Today’s message is very simply entitled “Kindness.” Are you a kind person? The Pharisees of Jesus day were very religious, but they were not kind. Their attitude toward other people was condescending, arrogant, and condemning. This attitude came out in John 7. Jesus was at the temple teaching ...read more

    Life isn't fair. Life isn't just. How can I avoid being defeated by the truth that "in this world I will experience trouble?"

    OPEN: Tom had never gone deep-sea fishing before, and once he was out at sea he began to think it was the stupidest thing he'd ever done in his life. Who would ever have believed that seasickness could be this awful? With every pitch and roll, Tom wondered how he was going to survive the remaining ...read more

    based on 23 ratings
     | 31,884 views

    Almost everybody can quote Jesus' statement: "Judge not". But are they quoting Him properly? Is there something in His words that say more than most people think?

    OPEN: Little Tommy was out on the playground during recess and was picking on the other children on the playground. One of his favorite ways of taunting the other kids was make ugly faces at them. Mrs. Smith was the teacher in charge of supervising recess and she saw Tommy doing this. She took ...read more

  • Truth Be Told

    Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Oct 23, 2023
     | 710 views

    You can speak the truth without love and it is still truth though offensive, but love without truth is deceit, not love.

    Ephesians 4:15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: Truth must be spoken and it must be in love though at times delivering loving truth may be harsh or seem harsh to the hearer. Paul wrote this passage by inspiration of the Holy ...read more

    Jesus consistently and continually preached that we need to be ready. Over and over again we hear him say, “So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.”
