    The Land And Death Series

    Contributed by Gary Moore on Feb 6, 2008
     | 2,512 views

    This message deals in part with Paul’s view of law and grace.

    Apart from the law, sin lies dead. I was once alive apart from the law, but when the commandment came, sin came alive and I died. The meaning of this section of Romans is laden with controversy. Is this an autobiographical account of Paul’s futile struggle to do what is right? If so, is Paul ...read more

    When they cried out to the LORD, he raised up for them a deliverer, Othniel son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother, who saved them. The Spirit of the LORD came on him, so that he became Israel’s judge and went to war.

    Dakota Community Church March 4, 2012 Judges – Week Two Othniel Remembering back to October 30 last year when we began our study of the Book of Judges you will recall that there is a repeated cycle throughout the entire book – a cycle of sin, bondage, repentance, and devotion, followed by sin and ...read more

    The Life Of A Wicked King (King Manasseh)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 3, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,383 views

    There are many wicked characters mentioned in the Bible. King Manasseh has to rank as one of the most wicked men who ever lived on this earth.

    He is certainly considered to be the most wicked king of Judah. His grandfather, Ahaz, was a wicked king, but his father, King Hezekiah is considered to be the most godly king of Judah. It's hard to imagine that someone as righteous as Hezekiah could have a son as evil as Manasseh. This ...read more

    Are We Being Obedient?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jul 10, 2023
     | 834 views

    In this passage of Scripture, Paul is writing to the Philippians, instructing them to be humble like Christ. How humble are we?

    These verses are presumably from a psalm sung by the early Christian church. The passage holds many equals to the prediction of the suffering servant in Isaiah 53. As a song, it was not intended to be a finished assertion about the nature and work of Christ. Notwithstanding, a few vital attributes ...read more

    With the announcement of the Vatican that they were adding to the Seven Deadly Sins I thought it would be a good time to look at sin.

    Has anyone been following the series in the Chronicle on the “Seven Deadly Sins?” It started last Saturday along with a report that the Catholic Church had modified the original list and added 7 more. Not sure that I necessarily agree with their selection of new “Sins” or even in their decision ...read more

    The night air was as thick and as silent as velvet. When suddenly the stillness was broken by the soft flapping of leathery wings. Out of the gloom came anger, his already contorted features twisted as he saw the man. Anger’s cohorts were already there, perched on one shoulder was despondency ...read more
