    Why should Christians remember Lot’s wife? Just like Sodom and Gomorrah, before Christ’s return, the world will be saturated with evil. Christians are warned to come out of the world and not be a part of it.

    Opening illustration: If a person sees a house on fire and does everything he can to rescue the occupants, he is heralded as a hero. And that’s the way it should be. Why is it, then, that a Christian who accepts what God says in the Bible about hell and tries to warn people is ridiculed as an ...read more

    Setting a purpose for Christian living.

    Christians without goals are a little like Alice in the fairy tale ‘Alice in Wonderland’. In a conversation between her and the Cheshire Cat, Alice asked, ‘Would you tell me please, which way I ought to go from here’? ‘That depends a good deal on where you want to get to’, said the cat. ‘I don’t ...read more

    This sermon focuses on the concept of pleasure and the reality that lasting pleasure cannot be found in earthly pursuits but only in the pursuit of God as our greatest good.

    Good morning. I trust you all had a pleasurable 4th of July. Speaking of the word pleasure, I need somebody to define pleasure for me. What does the word pleasure mean? Enjoyment. Satisfaction. Would you be satisfied with this definition? Pleasure is the enjoyment or satisfaction derived ...read more

    Was Jesus culturally relevant? Should we try to be or is it a better "witness" if we distance ourselves from "worldliness"?

    Dakota Community Church June 1, 2008 Culture Shock I don’t know if I am just too easily amused or what; but I find the study of people, relationships, and group dynamics to be simply fascinating.

     | 4,911 views

    Lack of zeal for the Gospel and Christian faith is a danger for those who are possessed of wealth and feel self-sufficient. Christ calls us from the cares of the world and deceitfulness of riches to restored spiritual vision, real safety and true wealth.

    Revelation 3__4-22 the Lukewarm Church "Blessed are the Lukewarm." Christians profess to follow religiously Jesus Christ. If that is so, then surely "Blessed are the Lukewarm" must have been one of his sayings for there are so many, many professing Christians who show no enthusiasm or service. ...read more

     | 52,331 views

    Sin is a fact of life and is the most horrible thing in the universe. In fact, if it was not for the issue of sin, Jesus had no business dying. Sin is so terrible that God had to surrender his own Son as a scapegoat so that He could be dealt with to elimi

    This week, we are looking at the message entitled, “The tragedy of covered sin.” One of the most serious verses in the Bible is found in Proverbs chapter 28 verse 13: “He that covereth his sins shall not prosper but he that confesseth and forsaketh them shall have ...read more

    We know as Christians that we have a friend, his name is Jesus. And we know as Christians that we have an enemy, and his name is Satan.

    Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you. For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, ...read more

    Often our spiritual battles are fought behind bars made of human reasoning. This sermon discusses breaking through that stronghold and destroying the debates of Satan.
