What Makes You So Certain You’ll Escape God’s Wrath On Judgment Day?

Contributed by Daniel Habben on Nov 6, 2011

What Makes You So Certain You’ll Escape God’s Wrath On Judgment Day? 1) Justice? No! 2) Jesus? Yes!

After the Vancouver Canucks lost the Stanley Cup last June, hundreds of people rioted in the streets smashing cars, looting stores, and assaulting those who got in their way. It was the largest crime spree in the history of British Columbia. But it wasn’t until last week, five months after ...read more

What Does God Require Of Me Series

Contributed by Steve Smith on Jan 19, 2010

Some have gotten so wrapped up in religion that they have forgotten what is important (even having the right intent). Paul said it best in challenging us to be a “living sacrifice” to God. It’s a matter of the heart – WHY DO YOU DO WHAT YOU DO?

INTRODUCTION 1. CHURCH PLAN For the last 4 weeks, we have been looking at many of the different parts of church ministry and relating it to the necessary ingredients of becoming not only successful in church but prepared and equipped to live a life outside the church that is available and prepared ...read more

"How Will We Serve God In 2016?"

Contributed by Ken Sauer on Dec 23, 2015

A sermon for the New Year.

"How Will We Serve Christ in 2016?" Matthew 25:31-45 I think this is a very appropriate passage of Scripture to look at as we come to the end of a year, and prepare for a new one. The reason I say this is that Jesus is filling in the metaphors of the parables that come before it. "This is ...read more

God's Condemnation Of All Men

Contributed by Paul Apple on Oct 18, 2000

GOD'S CONDEMNATION OF ALL MEN (EVEN THE MOST RELIGIOUS) DOES NOT CONTRADICT THE VALUE OF SPIRITUAL PRIVILEGES OR THE CONSISTENCY OF GOD'S OWN CHARACTER (HIS FAITHFULNESS AND JUSTICE) 1.

The Lord Our God Is Just Series

Contributed by William Baeta on Nov 4, 2019

“And will not God give justice to His elect, who cry to Him day and night? Will He delay long over them?” (Luke 18:7 ESV)

Introduction: The theme for today’s sermon is “the Lord our God is just”. Every person expects justice and in today’s world lawyers represent clients before judges and both are entrusted with the duty to ensure justice.

The Siege Of Jerusalem

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Feb 1, 2022

We probably don't like to think about God's justice. The siege of Jerusalem by the Romans, in A.D. 70, forces us to. In this event we see God's justice but we also see that God protected his people in a time of wrath.

Note: this was a talk I gave to a small afternoon congregation. I wouldn’t give it in our main morning service. INTRODUCTION We’re presently following the theme of discipleship, picking up some of the big things that are part of being a follower of Jesus. But it’s good to have some variety so ...read more

Apostles' Creed: Comfort In God's Judgment Series

Contributed by Vic Folkert on Aug 14, 2019

Jesus will return to Judge. Because Jesus is the Judge, there is 1) justice, 2) accountability, and 3) grace.

APOSTLES’ CREED: Comfort in God’s Judgment In last week’s message on the Apostles’ Creed, we looked at how Jesus ascended into heaven, where he has all authority and power, advocates for us, and is holding a place for us. The next sentence of the creed looks to the future: “From there he will come ...read more

Worship The Lord

Contributed by Wayne Solomon on Apr 12, 2021

"Justice is turned back, And righteousness stands afar off; … truth is fallen in the street, …” (Isaiah 59:14).

Worship the Lord I wish to give credit to Dr. S. M Lockridge for the rhetorical and literary devices as well as some ideas and structure of content that I employ in this message.

Amos - 2 Series

Contributed by Dan Cormie on Aug 4, 2010

Although the surrounding nations do not worship God or claim Him as any authority over them, He still sends a messenger to inform them that they will be held accountable to Him as their judge.

Dakota Community Church March 21, 2010 Amos 2 There is often a vast difference between what we want to hear and what we need to hear; this is why it is important to preach the Bible exegetically rather than continually focusing of topics that we “feel” are relevant. The entire Bible reveals Gods ...read more

And Now, The Weather Series

Contributed by James Jackson on Jun 22, 2020

The Big Idea: We don’t always like the warnings Scripture gives us. In the parable of the wicked tenants, Jesus warns the religious leaders of of the consequences of not bearing the fruit God is looking for.

Since we’ve titled this series “Good News,” a lot of the sermon titles have related to the news—“The most trusted name in News,” “A Slow News Day,” “The Rest of the Story—” stuff like that. So that’s where this title comes from, and I’ll talk more about this later. An interesting thing about ...read more

Kingdom Greatness

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Jul 18, 2024

“Whoever humbles themselves like this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven”. It is giving up claims to power and status and knowing one’s total dependence on God that counts as greatness in the kingdom of heaven.

Sermon: The Path to Kingdom Greatness Scripture: Matthew 18:1-11 “About that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?” Jesus called a little child to him and put the child among them. Then he said, “I tell you the truth, unless you turn from your sins ...read more
