Contributed by Alvan Lewis on Jan 7, 2019

A fresh look at an old story Jesus told in Matthew 20 to see how Amazing Grace really is

There’s a Mexican market in our city. My wife and I have shopped there. Not only is it a place to shop for food; it is also a meeting place for Mexican workers. So very early one morning about this time of the year the owner of the Grey Monk Winery sent his foreman to the Mexican market to pick up ...read more

The Good News Of The Gospel-Pt.2-"saved By What?"

Contributed by Robert Walderman on Feb 16, 2021

Today, I want to explore the salvation that is ours by answering the question, “Saved by what?” As we consider the work of Christ, we need to consider not only His death but also His life. Both are needed for our redemption.

Last week’s sermon, Pt.1, “Saved from what?” was hard to listen to. It was a 100% true, but it was a difficult topic to explore. There is nothing easy or attractive about hell and the doctrine of conscious, eternal punishment. But hopefully, the desperateness of the situation, the hopelessness and ...read more

Testimony From Prison Series

Contributed by Derek Geldart on Mar 18, 2023

While the Philippians wanted to know how Paul was doing so that they might further provide aid to help reduce his suffering, Paul wanted his “partner” to know that while he was in chains, the word of God certainly was not being restricted!

Amos - 2 Series

Contributed by Dan Cormie on Aug 4, 2010

Although the surrounding nations do not worship God or claim Him as any authority over them, He still sends a messenger to inform them that they will be held accountable to Him as their judge.

Dakota Community Church March 21, 2010 Amos 2 There is often a vast difference between what we want to hear and what we need to hear; this is why it is important to preach the Bible exegetically rather than continually focusing of topics that we “feel” are relevant. The entire Bible reveals Gods ...read more

The Obedience Of Faith

Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Mar 27, 2017

Obedience and faith appear together in the Gospel and can make us uncomforatable,

The Obedience of Faith Romans 1:5 I have especially called out this verse by itself in our study of Romans, as it is as important a theme in the book of Romans as Romans 1:17 which is justification by faith. This phrase is repeated in the doxology of chapter 16 at the end of Romans where the ...read more

Content And Container Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 26, 2022

This message looks at the cup (container) and the wine (content). The wine is still wine, no matter what container it’s in. Today's culture has a new cup; yet the content (gospel message) in the container can still be the same.

How many of you have a favorite glass that you prefer to drink out of? I do. For example, when I drink coffee I like to have a really big cup. My wife, on the other hand, likes to have a little dainty china cup, with a handle just big enough to fit her finger through. Ask either one of us to ...read more

Sell It All?

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 18, 2009

The command to become poor for the Gospel’s sake is really a liberation to preach the Gospel.

Tuesday of Second Week in Easter John 3 Today’s reading from Acts is a little scary. We always worry about the preaching of the Gospel, lest it impact on our lifestyle. It looks today as if Luke is telling us to sell our property and give it to the poor or to the community for the poor. A ...read more
