    A short message for any time of the year (but would be useful as a new year message) that draws the attention of believers to their responsibility to demonstrate the message of Christ in their local church.

    Unity and Purpose. I feel drawn this morning to give a short message on Unity and Purpose in the Church of Jesus Christ. When thinking about this topic it prompted me to think about the word “Unity” and ask myself what it means. The dictionary defines unity as Concord; harmony; ...read more

    The condition of our hearts is of utmost importance for what we think will erupt in actions.

    The Importance of a Pure Heart Matthew 5:8 All of us are familiar with the purpose of a greenhouse.

    Are you opting out of Sunday morning because you are a cutting edge postmodern thinker blazing the trail to a new kind of christianity; or are you just sleeping in and living in lukewarm apathy?

    Dakota Community Church August 10, 2008 Living in Laodicea Last week in my sermon on baptism I mentioned that for a while I described myself as emergent on my Facebook profile but that I had removed it. I like the idea of having a discussion about how we do things, how we treat sin and sinners, ...read more

    This morning is the Sunday before Memorial Day. Do you know how Memorial Day started? Memorial day has its origins in a Decoration Day, which began during the civil war among Freedmen (freed slaves) and other Black American families, as a celebration of both black and white Union soldiers who ...read more

    We as Christians know that all people are responsible to God for their actions. God is the final King over this earth, and he holds all of us accountable for our actions.

    The story in 1 Kings 21:17-29 is the aftermath of King Ahab’ theft of Naboth’s vineyard by murder. It is a story of prophecy and grace. Ahab died in battle shortly after the events in this story, and dogs licked his blood at the pool in Samaria. Believers have the courage not to take ...read more

    Many people get the first thing first...accepting Christ. Many miss putting the second thing second, giving themselves to the local church.
