Sunday Morning Preview - September 29, 2013


This Sunday at Dakota Community Church (and this week I mean it!) the plan is to complete our Summer 2013 series, “Building Community” (based on a portion of “Gospel in Life” by Tim Keller). The eleventh and final sermon is entitled - “Serving One Another’s Interests Rather Than Our Own - Part Two” 

Part One may be heard here: http://decormie2551.sermon.tv/9350813

Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. - Philippians 2:3-4

Eliminating selfish ambition and conceit as motivating factors is certainly no easy task; and I can’t help but wonder if it is even possible to truly consider others more significant than ourselves?

I hope you will join me this Sunday as we wrap up our Summer/Fall 2013 series!

Sunday Morning September 22, 2013 at Dakota


This Sunday at Dakota Community Church the plan is to complete our Summer 2013 series, “Building Community” (based on a portion of “Gospel in Life” by Tim Keller) with the tenth and final sermon, entitled - “Serving One Another’s Interests Rather Than Our Own.” 

How bent in on ourselves do we have to be that we approach even community with purely selfish motives - and yet somehow that is the condition in which we often find ourselves. We agree that Jesus was humble and that we should be as well; but then we swell up with pride in defense of our selfish motives and actions.
Have you ever been guilty of saying, or at least of thinking, any of the following:
“Well turn the other cheek doesn’t mean we should just TURN THE OTHER CHEEK!”
“You can’t expect me to prefer my brother every time - I”ll never get anything done my way.”
“What about everyone else preferring me - for a change?” 

I hope you will join me this Sunday as we deal with these issues and wrap up our Summer 2013 series!

This Sunday at DCC - Welcome Pastor Paul Winter


I hope many of you will join me this Sunday morning at Dakota Community Church for what is sure to be a very special service in the life of our community.

Believe me - “Back to Church Sunday” is always an important date on the calendar in Winnipeg. Summer vacation is over for another year, the kids are back to school, and life begins to take on a more consistent routine. Please remember that church attendance is an important part of that routine for members of the Body of Christ.

Besides the usual joy of this season, this year we have the added pleasure of welcoming Pastor Paul Winter to the DCC pulpit for the first time! 

I look forward to seeing you this Sunday!

Sunday Morning Preview - September 8, 2013


This Sunday at Dakota Community Church the plan is to continue our Summer 2013 series, “Building Community” (based on a portion of “Gospel in Life” by Tim Keller) with the ninth of ten sermons, entitled - “Serving One Another Through Forgiveness & Reconciliation.” 

Forgiveness and Reconciliation. The fact that they exist as categories in need of addressing in a series on building community is a reminder to us that when sinful humans congregate, bad things sometimes happen. Sooner or later you and I are either going to get hurt, or we are going to be the cause of someone else’s hurt. The temptation in the face of this dangerous reality is to act like modern day playground designers and simply eliminate any possibility of pain.
That, however, would require the complete breaking of fellowship, something that the Bible is pretty clear about us NOT doing.

I hope you will read this week’s key scripture verses in advance and come to service ready to rejoice in the Lord and to receive His word thankfully.
