    Palm Sunday - King Of Mercy

    Contributed by Dan Cormie on Mar 31, 2012
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,836 views

    Palm Sunday is a day of stark contrast. An all powerful King enters on a colt, is rebuked by sinners who think themselves saints, and weeps over the city that is about to join in his execution.

    Dakota Community Church April 1, 2012 Palm Sunday King of Mercy Today is Palm Sunday the day on the church calendar when we traditionally mark Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem beginning the final week of His life and leading up to the crucifixion on Good Friday followed by the glorious ...read more

    This message is about the birth of the church on the day of Pentecost. And we will look at - the mission, the message, the means and the movement.

    The Movement Begins! In the beginning God (the One who is, and was and is to come) created EVERYTHING… HE created; • Galaxies – millions of them • Stars – trillions • HE created our planet and He filled it with breath-taking beauty… sunrises, sunsets, oceans, mountains, rivers, streams, forests… ...read more

    Christmas Is For Purity Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 15, 2021
     | 2,127 views

    Purity is to be prized by categorically every one of God’s children. The last text I read puts it in stark terms: If you don’t prize purity, then you’re not a child of God.

    In a California neighborhood in 2009 one resident decorated his lawn with a depiction of Jesus shooting Santa Claus with a double-barrel shotgun. Fox News had reported that Jesus points the weapon at Santa’s dead body while Rudolph lays sprawled across the hood of a pick-up truck. The creator, Ron ...read more

    Noah’s Generation And The Last Days Series

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Apr 3, 2025
     | 346 views

    The generation of Noah serves as a stark warning to our present world. Just as people ignored God's call to repentance then, many today continue in spiritual blindness, living as if there will be no accountability.

    NOAH’S GENERATION AND THE LAST DAYS By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Matthew 24:37-39 Supporting Texts: Genesis 6:5-8, 2 Peter 3:3-7, Hebrews 11:7, Luke 17:26-30 INTRODUCTION In Matthew 24:37-39, Jesus draws a parallel between Noah's generation and the last days, indicating that just as ...read more

    Disgusted Or Delighted? Series

    Contributed by David Dykes on Jan 28, 2018
     | 12,531 views

    A stark contrast between religious hypocrites and a faithful woman. The religious show-offs were mostly interested in what they could GET out of life. And the poor widow as interested in all she could GIVE.

    INTRODUCTION My younger brother, Dan, and I are a lot alike. He serves as a Minister of Education and Senior Adults at a church in Conway, Arkansas. One thing we have in common is that we both have a sense of humor leaning toward puns and groaners. You’ve endured plenty of my groaners through the ...read more

    Murder Mystery Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Nov 24, 2022
     | 1,284 views

    Anger is the impulse to strike out - either with words or with actions - at whatever threatens us, or threatens something we value. Anger is an impulse to destruction. Anger is in stark contrast to the commandment to love, which brings life.

    Have you ever caught yourself looking at your reflection in a shop window? I have to confess that I sometimes do. I'll wager there's not one person in this room who doesn't take at least one good look at him or herself in the mirror every day. Maybe you don't care much. But you ...read more

     | 5,040 views

    This world is constantly seeking and searching for PEACE, but the cold stark reality is that until they submit to REAL TRUTH, there cannot be any TRUE PEACE. Paul understood this and laid out a template for discovering and experiencing the TRUE PEACE God

    The Hidden World Of Service

    Contributed by Michael Trask on Sep 25, 2006
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,323 views

    The contrast couldn’t be more stark. Jesus describes his ultimate act of service while the disciples argue over which of them will be the greatest! This sermon stealthily plunges the listener into this contrast; then pulls them out on the right side.

    My dear friends in Christ, I want to tell you about something that I didn’t really begin to figure out until I was about 24. Many of you figured it out long before you reached that age; some of you have not figured it out yet. But when someone finally does learn it, and it begins to sink ...read more

    The Walk Of The Believer In Jesus (Part 1) Series

    Contributed by Dr. Bradford Reaves on May 20, 2022
     | 1,784 views

    There is a stark difference between the Kingdom of Heaven and the Kingdom of this world. It can be difficult to understand the distinctions for someone new to the faith. We must remember that this world is not our home and the Kingdom of our Lord Jesus is substantially different from the world.

    Lessons From The Herods In The Bible

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Apr 21, 2025
     | 281 views

    The Herods of the Bible provide us with powerful lessons on the dangers of pride, selfish ambition, and rejecting God’s will. Their lives serve as stark warnings about the cost of rebellion against God and the importance of humility, integrity, and obedience in leadership.

    LESSONS FROM THE HERODS IN THE BIBLE By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Matthew 2:1-18, Mark 6:14-29, Acts 12:1-23 Supporting Texts: Luke 23:1-25, Acts 12:20-23, Revelation 19:11-21 INTRODUCTION: The Herods in the Bible represent a family line known for their tyrannical rule and opposition to ...read more
