Extravagant Love

Contributed by Ryan Ferwerda on Apr 5, 2019

There are some stories that are so wonderful they leave us feeling blessed just by hearing them. The story of God's extravagant love is one such story.

There are certain stories that at the moment you read them or hear them they have the ability to really tug on the strings of the heart. They are so moving, so beautiful that you can’t help but feel blessed just by the mere fact of having heard or read them. This is exactly the way I felt when I ...read more

"finding Our Way Home"

Contributed by David Henderson on Feb 17, 2020

We actually have three stories being told here. Three stories. One parable. One big truth and here it is. Lost things matter to God. As a result, God spends a great deal of time looking for his people.

"Finding Our Way Home" Luke 15:11-20 While living in Kentucky a good friend of mine and I drove all the way to Detroit to see a baseball game. I had never been to the old Tiger’s stadium and they were playing my favorite team so we made the trek. I took my car and getting to Detroit was ...read more

Parable Of The Father And The Two Sons -Luke 15 Series

In this parable we look at it from the loving father’s view and how He extends His grace to the one who didn’t deserved ...read more

Identity Thief Series

Contributed by Greg Lindsey on Mar 8, 2020

Jesus came to rescue you, not just forgive you but heal, redeem, and restore you too. It's not just about what you've done, it's also about what's been done to, said to, and said about you.

Now that’s funny I don’t care who you are. Hey, isn’t it great to be able to laugh in church? Yeah. Life is hard and laughter is good. Most of us don’t laugh enough, most church people don’t laugh enough. One of the things that I love the most in this place that we call DCC is the fact that we ...read more

Welcome Home

Contributed by Joanne Chan on Feb 7, 2018

This sermon looks at the parable of the Prodigal Son, and explores the relationship between the father, the younger son, and the older son. The intertwined relationship of this family shows that love and respect should be the key values of our church.

Lately I have been binge watching this new American TV series called “This is us”. It’s about a family with triplets and their intertwining stories with each other now, when the characters are grown up, but it constantly flashes back to their childhood times. It shows how their loving parents ...read more

The Greatest Rescue Story

Contributed by Bright Adeyeye on May 8, 2020

Despite our natural inclination to sin, God loves us unconditionally. So much so that He sent Jesus to rescue us.

THE GREATEST RESCUE STORY "Also for Adam and his wife the Lord God made tunics of skin, and clothed them." Genesis 3:21. Unbelievable! These guys had just rebelled against God. Instead of leaving them to bear the consequences of their rebellion, He clothed them. God looked down on Adam ...read more

The Journey To Restoration

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Jun 15, 2020

The journey to restoration begins with an acknowledgement of your present situation. Have you come to yourself yet? Then acknowledge your return is based on the goodness and mercy for a loving Father, not a repentant speech of a son.

The Journey to Recovery Lu 15:11-24 And he said, A certain man had two sons: And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living. And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey ...read more

Compassionate Father Series

Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Jun 18, 2020

Why Father was silent when he heard his younger SON demanded dividends? Why Father parted his property with his younger son knowing that he is going to leave him and live according to his plan? These questions are related to the foreknowledge of God.
