    “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” “In spite of the universal prevalence of … pantheistic evolutionary cosmogonies among the nations of antiquity, the inspired account in Genesis does not attempt to refute them or to prove the existence of the true God. The reason for ...read more

    So often we say that we have a great work to do, but yet are unsure of what we as the church are supposed to be doing... Jesus would never send us forth before giving us a job description to center our efforts around...

    E-Mail support@churchletters.net for the Powerpoint to go with this message. Fred Somebody, Thomas Everybody, Peter Anybody, and Joe Nobody were neighbors, but they were not like you and me. They were odd people and most difficult to understand. The way they lived was a shame. All four ...read more

    A tendency to rebel against authority, an exaggerated desire to win the approval of others, and a skewed definition of what it means to be successful; these deadly ingredients combined to create the misadventures of my life and ministry so far.

    Dakota Community Church November 16, 2008 (pm) Confessions of a Misguided Innovator Begin by reading Ephesians 4:1-16 Ephesians 4:14 Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men ...read more

    Learning how to find your purpose in Life through God.

    Knowing Your Purpose in Life I received a letter a while back from a guy I know. From all appearances he’s got his act together. He is a good Christian, attends church regularly and he’s financially successful. He’s a nice guy too; he doesn’t seem to have any hidden agendas or ulterior motives. As ...read more

    In this sermon, we look more closely at what it means to consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.

    Scripture In his commentary on Romans, James Montgomery Boice, from whom I am drawing today’s material, spends an entire sermon on one verse. Today, I also want to look at Romans 6:11 in a more focused way because it is so important. Let me begin with a question. How many times up until Romans ...read more

    Today, we’re looking at the ministry of John the Baptist. You may think of his ministry as being a long time ago and happening in a place far away… but the fact is, Jesus has called you to the same kind of ministry today.

    Just a few days after Christmas 2002, a man walked into a Baptist mission hospital in the Middle Eastern country of Yemen. He calmly sat in the waiting room with his pink slip that told security he was a returning patient. He sat patiently and quietly waited there with the other patients. Then ...read more

    People are different in so many ways, but in many ways, they are also the same. But no matter how similar or different people are, they all share the same core problem with the need for the same solution.

    http://brushforkbanner.blogspot.com The fourth chapter of John is a very familiar event to us. Most of us are very familiar with the woman at the well. So we should just be able to fly right past it, right? Wrong—because, like every other event in this book, this one is rich. It is full of ...read more

    This message looks at eight characteristics we often find in holiness culture and then contrasts them with the characteristics of an authentic holy life.

    Holiness: A Culture or a Lifestyle? Christianity has an image problem in America today. Many, who are outside the church, are convinced that lifestyle does not line up with beliefs for the average churchgoer. As a result, Christians have acquired a hypocritical image. The perception of those ...read more

    Why is worship supposed to be an encounter with God and not just going through the motions? How can you better encounter God each time you gather corporately as a church? The answer is in your appetite!

    ENCOUNTERING GOD – Part One - Hunger Listen to this story, “I had my first experience with the presence of God when I was 5 years old.

    Job teaches us that through loss, God responds to us as a father shaping, molding and blessing even in the pain.

    We are here tonight once again following the theme, Hanging in There. I want us to look at the subject, Hanging in There Through Loss. The loss of something special is always grievous.
