This sermon is one of comending those who take care of their parents or grandparents. God and heaven honors those who makes the sacrifice.

Prodigal Love Series

Contributed by Robert Higgins on Apr 15, 2008

If the devil can convince you that your core identity is a sinner then you will live and act like it for the rest of your life. He knows that your actions arise from your identity, so he will try to convince you that your identity arises from your action

Review We have been examining what it means to “be” the family of God. The past couple of weeks and this week we are looking at what it means to be a child of God. I think that we are all a bit stumped when it comes to recognizing our identity as a child of God. We are used to seeing ourselves ...read more

Love & War

Contributed by Dan Cormie on May 5, 2008

Jesus tells us to turn the other cheek so that we will be "like your Father in heaven" but what about all that Old Testament carnage that He commanded? How does loving our enemies apply to the modern politics of war?

Dakota Community Church May 4, 2008 Love & War Jesus said we are supposed to turn the other cheek when an enemy strikes us, right; but what about all that Old Testament talk about mighty warriors and the armies of God, and how does modern conservative Christian teaching about patriotism and ...read more

True Love

Contributed by Jonathan Campbell on May 6, 2008

This fallen, wicked world has a warped understanding of love. True love is described very clearly in 1 Corinthians 13.

INTRODUCTION 1 Corinthians 13 is a wonderful portrait of Christ. Put Christ in place of charity throughout the chapter and you will have a blessed study. The aim of this sermon is to get Christians to love one another. Love is the life-blood of a church. Many are torn apart because of a lack of ...read more

The Loving Church Series

Contributed by Paul Green on Oct 28, 2009

What is church? If I asked you that question this morning how would you answer? In just one word – what would you say? Boring, irrelevant, out of date, hypocritical – or would you say that it is a place of joy, hope, love, companionship, caring?

On Sunday 31 May – which was Pentecost Sunday, the BBC showed a service from Kingsgate Community Church in Peterborough. It’s quite a large, dynamic, vibrant church and they were holding a baptismal service. The following day, Chris Moyles, who is a Radio 1 DJ who presents the breakfast show ...read more

Love Is Forgetful Series

Contributed by Paul Green on Oct 28, 2009

We often think of forgetfulness as a weakness, as a problem. And more often than not that is true. But there is a time when forgetfulness becomes an absolute necessity. Paul says that ‘Love – keeps no record of wrongs’ He says that love is forgetful.

In the middle of that list of what love is, Paul says that ‘Love – keeps no record of wrongs’ (v5). In other words what he is saying is that, as well as being patient, and kind and a whole host of other things – love is also forgetful! –‘ Love - keeps no record of wrongs’ Love is forgetful! Now ...read more

Here Is Love Series

Contributed by Paul Green on Oct 28, 2009

What does it mean to wash the feet of others? It means humbling yourself - you get down where the need is – and you do something about it. In our culture the need is not to wash feet as it was in Bible times. But there are many, many practical needs all a

Love Is Determined Series

Contributed by Paul Green on Oct 29, 2009

Love does not give up no matter what is faces, no matter the obstacles in its path, no matter what those around you might be saying, love does not give up it is determined.

I came across an article in the paper this week that had the heading ’Mother’s Love and Determination’. And the sub title ’Refusing to give up, Cynthia Teare helped her son to walk again’. It caught my attention because our theme today is ’Love is... determined’. And it’s the story of an 11 year ...read more

Love Is A Command Series

Contributed by Paul Green on Oct 30, 2009

Jesus said, ’this is my command: Love one another.’ How does that work? It is easy to see how you can obey a command not to lie, or steal or commit murder – but how can you command somebody to love somebody. How is that possible?

Verse 12: ‘My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you’. Verse 17: ‘This is my command: Love each other’. One of the funniest comedies ever to find it’s way onto our tv screens, arguably, has to be Fawlty Towers. It starred John Cleese as the Torquay hotel owner Basil Fawlty, and ...read more
