    A Son Is Given Series

     | 23,905 views

    The prophecy of the virgin in Isaiah 7 has been denied by many religious "experts". But what does their denial say about them... and what does it tell us about what the prophecy actually said?

    OPEN: There’s a story told about a man who was a very militant atheist but he sent his son to Trinity School because, despite its Christian roots, it was a great school. After a month, the boy comes home and says casually, "By the way Dad, do you know what Trinity means? It means the Father, the ...read more

    Incarnation - Advent 5, 2011 Series

    Do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ.

    Dakota Community Church December 25, 2011 Incarnation So far we have looked at the hope (past, present, and future) that Christmas offers to every man; then in week two, Tyson spoke on the peace of knowing God, in week 3 we looked at the joy that is not of human origin and last week we rounded ...read more

     | 7,031 views

    2000 years ago a religious guy met Jesus and was told he was headed down the wrong road and needed to make a u-turn that led to a life where the pressure is off and was never the same again.

    The Pressures Off Never The Same Again (8) I hope you are getting pumped up about taking the One Month To Live Challenge. NEXT WEEK – we will kick off the series with an Easter Message. AND THEN – things will really start to rock and roll the week of March 30th when we launch our One Month ...read more

    Being A Good Samaritan

    Contributed by Anthony Zibolski on Aug 21, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,938 views

    Being a good Samaritan is more than being religious. It is doing something when you don't know what to do. It is giving to those you do not know. It is being Christ-like disciples.

    Being the Good Samaritan Luke 10:25-37 Luke 10:25-37 Introduction- As you are turning to Luke 10, I want to talk to you about being a good Samaritan as well as living a life of a good ...read more

    Party On! Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 2,664 views

    We all know that there were parties last evening, some that lasted well into the morning hours. But I venture to say that these parties were not celebrations of religious faith, such as the ones implied by today’s Scriptures.

    Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God Party On! Today’s Scriptures are so brief that if our minds are not focused, we might not remember any of them. I’ve wondered if that was an act of mercy on the part of those who back in the 1960's put together the three-year cycle of readings, and saw New ...read more

    Never Surrender Your Authenticity

    Contributed by Fr. Rian Adams on Apr 6, 2020
     | 2,112 views

    Jesus says let "yes" be yes and "no" be no. Righteousness must exceed the Pharisees. They surrendered their authenticity to appear more religious. This sermon is an encouragement to live in the opposite manner.

    Never Surrender Your Authenticity Counterfeiters make over a billion dollars a year, making fake designer clothes and handbags. That billion is from the United States, not the rest of the world. These are not cheap knock offs from street vendors; they are well-made fakes. There's an ...read more

    Independence Day: Our country was founded on a value for religious freedom. As biblical morality fades, immorality and moral decay are taking its place; which will eventually lead to the collapse of this nation unless people repent.

    This week we celebrate Independence Day, the day that our nation commemorates the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, declaring independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain.(1) We must not forget that our country’s drive for independence began with a quest for ...read more

    Early in the ministry of John the Baptist he had introduced a new teaching of baptism to the Jewish people. In this message the religious leaders interview John the Baptist on this new doctrine, and aquestion him to see if he is the Christ.

    Dangerous Discipleship

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jul 26, 2018
    based on 1 rating
     | 9,625 views

    To be a follower of Christ is almost certain to be costly. Many turn from following Christ because they fear what it may cost. They are willing to be religious, but hesitate to embrace discipleship. We are called to embrace dangerous discipleship.

    “When the large crowd of the Jews learned that Jesus was there, they came, not only on account of him but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead. So, the chief priests made plans to put Lazarus to death as well, because on account of him many of the Jews were going away and ...read more

    Can You Be Threatened?

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Feb 4, 2018
    based on 2 ratings
     | 10,240 views

    Many in the Body of Christ are living in compromise. They are allowing the world to dictate what they will and will not believe about the Bible. How does this happen? Peter and John's confrontation with the religious leaders in Acts 4 shows us how.

    I was thinking about Bro. Alain’s message this morning and what saddens me so much is how much of the Body of Christ is living in compromise and we don’t even realize it. And I thought about a Republican senator here in Ohio who came out strong and hard against homosexuality. He came out strong and ...read more

     | 13,406 views

    Peter wrote to the strangers scattered abroad because of religious persecution not to think it strange when the fiery trials come as though something strange happened to them. They were rather to rejoice in the trials that come their way.

    The Positive Benefits of Negative Things May 15, 2016, a.m. (1Peter 4:1-19) Command Baptist Church TEXT: Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's ...read more

    Can Music Heal?

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on May 23, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,767 views

    There has been a growing interest in the healing ability of music within the church. That has led some to explore ancient religious music traditions and practices as people seek supernatural encounters and deeper intimacy with God.

    “Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth, burst into jubilant song with music; make music to the LORD with the harp, with the harp and the sound of singing, with trumpets and the blast of the ram's horn — shout for joy before the LORD, the King.” (Ps 98:4-6 NIV) Music has always been an ...read more

    The Concept Of Hell! Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Feb 3, 2022
     | 1,327 views

    Hell, in many religious traditions, refers to the domicile, usually beneath the earth, of the unredeemed deceased or the spirits of the damned. From the underworld come dreams, ghosts, and demons, and in its most terrible areas malefactors (reprobates)

    Tom Lowe 2/3/2012 The Concept of Hell! There is no mention of hell in the Old Testament. The Old Testament talks about Sheol, which is a watery underworld where everyone went, whether they were Jew or Gentile, good or bad. In its archaic sense, the term hell refers to the underworld, a deep pit or ...read more

    The Personification Of Truth Vs. The Pettiness Of Skepticism

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 24, 2022
     | 1,167 views

    The drama of redemption continued as the Lord Jesus, having faced an illegal trial by the religious authorities of Israel, now faced the representative of political authority in Israel, Pontius Pilate, and the conversation he had with the true Authority.

    John 18:28-40 records the probable final conversation that the Lord Jesus has with another person before he was led off to be crucified. He had a dialogue with the Roman governor of the Judean province, Pontius Pilate, and we also see that these two men had opposing agendas. Pilate comes across ...read more
