Identity Thief Series

Contributed by Greg Lindsey on Mar 8, 2020

Jesus came to rescue you, not just forgive you but heal, redeem, and restore you too. It's not just about what you've done, it's also about what's been done to, said to, and said about you.

Now that’s funny I don’t care who you are. Hey, isn’t it great to be able to laugh in church? Yeah. Life is hard and laughter is good. Most of us don’t laugh enough, most church people don’t laugh enough. One of the things that I love the most in this place that we call DCC is the fact that we ...read more

"i Am": Jesus' Greatest Declaration

Contributed by Jack Perkins, D.min., Ladc, Csac, Cclc on Sep 17, 2021

Jesus said, “I am,” he knew what lay ahead for himself and those who would follow him. “I AM!” is a declarative statement that few can make with the kind of authority and confidence that Jesus embodied. One will find seven reference to himself using “I Am”.

Perhaps some had a disappointed look on their face as they peered through the crowd, catching a glimpse of a lone figure coming down the road. Rumors had spread as people calculated his next move. Yet, many were expecting to see him sitting tall and proudly astride a spirited war-horse. Instead ...read more

Does God Hate Homosexuals? Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 12, 2021

Two people of the same sex can try to get that deep kind of completion through a sexual friendship, which is homosexuality. The Bible says you can’t get that kind of completion, the completion we’re talking about in marriage, from somebody of the same sex.

Thank you for joining for this important topic, provocatively titled, “Does God Hate Homosexuals”? Two forces are colliding in the political and cultural landscape of our day: religious liberty and homosexuality ideology. White House press secretary Sean Spicer said on Thursday that freedom of ...read more

Hang On To What You Have

Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 26, 2025

Faith is sustained not by intensity or perfection, but by hanging on to Christ’s grace when pressure, disappointment, and weariness pull at our trust.

He didn’t start out confused. He started out in love. You remember what that feels like—when faith is simple, when obedience feels like joy instead of effort, when the future seems open because God is clearly ahead of you. Prayer is natural. Scripture feels like bread. Service feels like oxygen. ...read more

How Firm A Foundation

Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 10, 2026

The Christian life is not about regaining control, but about learning where to stand when control was never ours to begin with.

There are moments in history when people realize—often quietly rather than dramatically—that something fundamental has shifted. Not because life has ended or collapsed completely, but because assumptions that once felt solid have been exposed. The structures we trusted may still stand, but they ...read more

Impetus PRO Sermon

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 21, 2025

The sermon urges us to end each season and day with intentional prayer, focusing on what truly matters and leaving a legacy of faithfulness to God.

If you’ve ever closed a well-worn journal, you know the gentle weight of a last line. Ink fades, pages wrinkle, and somewhere in the hush after the final sentence, a story settles. There’s a tender finality in that moment—like the soft sigh after “amen.” That’s how Psalm 72 ends: not with a ...read more

Contributed by Maurice Schaus on Dec 27, 2003

Do we get caught up in the festivities of the Christmas season, or do we hear God’s call to discipleship? This Sermon is for the observation of the Holy Innocents, December 28.

Delivered to Deliver Others! Well, here we are, on the other side of Christmas. The gifts are opened, the parties are over, and the meals and cookies are consumed.
