    Contributed by Dan Cormie on Nov 23, 2014
    based on 2 ratings
     | 13,457 views

    The very people who are called to protect and feed the sheep have instead used their positions of authority to fleece the flock, exploiting them in order to make themselves rich and comfortable.

    Dakota Community Church November 23, 2014 Sheep Without Shepherds The metaphorical connection between shepherds and kings was a common one in the Old Testament. Isaiah 44:24,28 Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, who formed you from the womb: … who says of Cyrus, ‘He is my shepherd, ...read more

    Holiness For The Child Of God

    Contributed by Richard Cook on Aug 25, 2009
    based on 5 ratings
     | 10,785 views

    Understanding the need for Holiness is often difficult for ministers to get across to their flocks; this sermon teaches the need to seperate ourselves from the world, and worldliness.

    1 Peter 1:16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. Some will argue that Holiness is not important, but I submit that if it is in the Bible it is important. Holiness in the life of a child of God is not optional but is a command; we can see that from our scripture reading. ...read more

    Why do we have "Holy Communion?" This is a sermon in the Reformed tradition that answers that in three ways -- Obedience, Remembrance and Enlightenment (or nurture).

    In a little while we will participate in the Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper. Holy Communion. The Eucharist. On one level, this meal might seem like a reminder of some of the snacks we’ve had elsewhere -- like the cookie and juice we were given by our first grade teacher and like the bag of ...read more

    Church leaders are appointed to protect the flock. When the protectors become predators, you may be sure that God will shortly expose the sin and deliver judgement.
