    Gifts Of Service, Teaching & Exhortation Series

    Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Sep 10, 2012
    based on 6 ratings
     | 13,235 views

    Each of us has different giftedness and God has bestowed these gifts so our local body can grow in a balanced and effective way. These gifts are like tools in the box of the Master Carpenter.

    ROMANS 12: 6-8a GIFTS OF SERVICE, TEACHING AND EXHORTATION Here in Romans 12 we encounter a partial treatment of spiritual gifts. Previously we learned that we all have "gifts that differ according to the grace given to us." In verses 6-8 Paul enumerates seven forms of Christian ministry ...read more

    Do you ever get into a situation where you are trying to follow God’s will but things just don’t seem to work out? If so, you are in good company. Find out how the Lord used a pinball to guide Paul, and you!

    We’d love to get an email from God with our day all planned out but it doesn’t work that way. And so we seek God and move forward—only to run into road blocks and rivers and dead ends. So what gives? Does the fact that things don’t work out perfectly mean we don’t hear God or are somehow not ...read more

    You Matter To God (Easter 2014)

     | 5,343 views

    When something lost is found, God celebrates the recovery! Jesus taught in three parables of the importance of finding things that are lost, which is EXACTLY what His death on the cross allowed us to be: We can now be FOUND because we matter to God!

    You Matter to God Easter Sunday 2014, Luke 15:1-32 Introduction - This morning, we are going to push pause on our study in Revelation -- The purpose of this message is to celebrate Easter, and really challenge us - Often we like the same old stories, often we like to tune out ...read more

    If Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins.

    Dakota Community Church April 24, 2011 Hope at Easter 1 Corinthians 15:12-19 But if it is preached that Christ has been raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? 13 If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. 14 And ...read more

    Christ Is Risen!

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Apr 1, 2021
     | 3,445 views

    Why don't people say "Christ is Risen" on Easter anymore? There is more concern about their Easter parties than on Jesus' resurrection. We cannot allow society to steal Easter from the church like it did with Christmas.

    Easter Sunday 2021 Christ is Risen! Rev. Dr. Michael H. Koplitz (Romans 6:4) It was not that long ago. I remember joining my young family for Easter worship, and I heard people greeting each other in an unfamiliar way. I thought that on Easter, you would greet someone by saying "Happy ...read more

    Sadducees Sadly Mistaken (2004)

    based on 1 rating
     | 2,039 views

    The intention of the question of our "case in point" (Luke 20:27-40) was designed by those who composed it to make a fool of Jesus. It backfired. The scripture tells us that when Jesus answered that question, no one dared to ask Him any other questions.

    SADDUCEES SADLY MISTAKEN Text: Luke 20:27-40 Bruce Larson made the comment that the question that the Sadducees posed to Jesus was a test that was designed to determine whether or not He was a conservative or a liberal.

    Intro: Sometimes we face great loses in our lives. Today I want to talk about losing someone we care about. Let’s face it—people die. They die unexpectantly, they die too young. They die needlessly, because of the acts of another. They die naturally. People we always thought would be around…then ...read more

     | 16,620 views

    Often we get discouraged because our labors for Christ seem fruitless or insignificant. We feel that we are too small or lack the resources to accomplish anything. Don't quit or give up. Understand that there is too small or insignificant to God.

    Don't Discount Smallness Zechariah 4:6-10 In the Old Testament book of Ezra, we read that Cyrus king of Persia makes the decree to rebuild the House of the Lord at Jerusalem. Cyrus sends out a call for any of the Jews who had been in exile yet remained faithful to God to go and to be a part of ...read more
