Outward Religion Is Not Acceptable To God

Contributed by David Mcnally on Jan 25, 2014

God demands true faith, true repentance, true worship, not the outward show of 'religiosity'

2 Timothy 3: 1-9 Outward religion Christmas has long gone and 2014 is no longer the 'New' year. Paul wrote his 2nd 'Pastoral' Letter to Timothy around AD66/67. The church was fairly 'new' as it was only 30 years or so after Pentecost, but it was not so 'new' that it was 'Pristine' or ...read more

"Who Is God?"

Contributed by Clark Tanner on May 16, 2003

A systematic devotional study

When I was a boy I remember my father describing the God he grew up with.

The Heroine Of God Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Nov 30, 2014

Deborah was one of the great "she-roes" of God. What was it about her that made her a heroine in the book of Judges and what is it about her faith that got God's attention?

Someone once said that “It is important for us to recognize and celebrate our heroes and she-roes!" - Maya Angelou To that person's mind the term “she-roes” was a unique and eye-catching way to talk about heroines. And I like that word. In the Bible there are many heroes, but ...read more

God Is In Control Series

Contributed by David Owens on Sep 24, 2018

In this sermon on Acts 12 and Peter's miraculous escape from prison, we wrestle with the truth that God is in control. This leads to a lot of assurance, but it also leads to trust.

Introduction: A. You have probably heard the glib saying, “Every cloud has a silver lining.” 1. Although it is true that suffering can lead to blessing, it is easier to say it than experience it. B. One day a young man who sold magazine subscriptions door to door, came home with $25 which he ...read more

Hopefully, that will make a lot more sense by the time we walk out of here today. Before we get to that good to see you and welcome to this place that we call DCC.

Intimacy With God

Contributed by Ian Johnson on Dec 15, 2006

We are called to dwell in the secret place of the most high! To gaze upon his beauty! To nestle into his heart. For our hearts home is in the midst of His heart! In that place of intimacy.

The soul of man longs for fulfilment. Many, even in the Church try to fill this longing with activities and meetings, with seminars and with works. But the truth is, our soul will not be satisfied until it has come into intimacy with the Living God! This is what our re-born Spirit already knows; ...read more
