Different Responses Towards The Filling Of The Holy Spirit Series

Contributed by Vincent Harry Anobling on Sep 5, 2011

The miracle happened during the Pentecost resulted to different responses. How was it? I believe it is because that human as we are we tend to believe and doubt of thing supernaturally done in our sight. That's the outcome of the fallen nature.

ACTS 2: 5 – 13 THE DIFFERENT RESPONSES OF THE SPIRIT’S FILLING A. Towards the unbeliever: 1. They were alarmed and were confounded. v. 6 Bec. They heard them speak their language. 2. They were amazed and marvelled. v. 7 Bec. The speakers were Galileans. 3. Others were amazed and in ...read more

Do We Want To See What Jesus Saw?

Contributed by Emil Boniog on May 19, 2011

High Seas 2 - Paul Series

Contributed by Dan Cormie on Jul 11, 2011

Because we live on a fallen planet with other fallen human beings it is possible to find ourselves in the midst of a life shattering storm through no fault of our own. The effects of the fall visit themselves randomly upon the creation.

Dakota Community Church July 10, 2011 High Seas 2 - Paul Luke 6:46-49 46 “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say? 47 I will show you what he is like who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice. 48 He is like a man building a house, who dug ...read more

Even In The Beginning God Attracts

Contributed by Efren V. Narido on Nov 27, 2008

Our physical eyes and other human faculties tend to perceive only the wonder of the physical creation; but, even from the beginning, if we have the spiritual eyes to see, we can already admire the Splendour of God!

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. Then God said, ‘Let there be light’; and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good; ...read more

The Long Reach Of God's Grace Series

Contributed by Dennis Davidson on May 7, 2009

The Gospel Paul preached was not of human conception but it came to him directly from God. Now that’s an astounding claim to make, a claim which demanded some kind of proof. Paul provides this proof by pointing to himself.

GALATIANS 1:11-17 THE LONG REACH OF GOD’S GRACE Paul’s theme is that the Gospel he preached to man was not of human conception, nor was it a second-hand tale; no it came to him directly from God. Now that’s an astounding claim to make, a claim which demanded some kind of proof. Paul ...read more

Grow To Care, Care To Grow

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Aug 11, 2010

A church that wishes to grow must "get over" negatives about evangelism and must tell the truth about the human spiritual condition; must present a full diet of worship and study and preparation; and must be a source of radical community.

We have a garden at our house. Or should I say, we had a garden. It was carefully planted, lovingly tended for a time, it was nurtured through the searing heat of July and watched over during the thundershowers of mid-August. But something happened to that garden, something awful and terrible, ...read more

God's Indescribable Abundance Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Nov 23, 2008

How can one describe what God has given in this church, with the successes of the past year? How describe human needs, especially for the Gospel? And how describe the opportunities for inclusive worship, honest learning, and artistic expression?

Once upon a time a certain church was in an uproar. Some said that the pastor was not performing according to expectations. And so complaints were brought to the deacons, who met to consider the issue, and asked those who were grumbling, “What is the problem with the pastor?” One disaffected ...read more

Who's In Control Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Oct 25, 2009

We as humans have a hard time giving up control of anything, but in order to find the abundant life Jesus offers, we must cede authority of our lives to Him, even if that means going into choppy waters.

We began last time by looking at Jesus as He came down from giving the Sermon on the Mount. He begins to demonstrate that it isn’t all talk—that He really is the coming King and controls His creation, both the visible and invisible. We see Him first approached by two people who really have no ...read more

Peter Falls On His Face

Contributed by Jon Mackinney on Aug 17, 2010

Right after an astounding and historical confession of faith, here we find Peter arguing with Jesus. And the source of the problem was predictable, since Peter was a human being stuck in the physical and being led into the spiritual realm. Self-interests
