The gospel is the good news that God treated Jesus the way I deserved and he daily treats me the way Jesus deserves.

Sunday July 24, 2011
Welcome to Dakota Community Church
We have gathered this morning to celebrate Jesus!
This meeting is not about you and I.
It isn’t about a special dream, goal, vision, or destiny.
Christianity is not about something we do - it’s about Someone and what He has DONE!
Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?” - Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”

Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say? I will show you what he is like who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice. He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. (Luke 6:46-48)
Please join me this Sunday morning for the fourth and final week of the “Summer on the High Seas” Sermon series!
We have been looking at various causes for the devastating storms that come and test the foundations that we have built our lives upon. Are we standing on the rock solid foundation of Christ; or are we unwittingly building on shifting sand?
So far we have looked at the self-inflicted storm (As in the case of Jonah); at the storm caused by the actions of another (As with Paul), and at the devastating storms brought by Satan’s deceptive schemes in the life of Hymenaeus.
This week we are going to turn our attention to the dilemma of Jesus’ disciples who find themselves “straining at the oars” and “buffeted” by the waves. Jesus defies the laws of nature in order to rescue them, first walking on water and then commanding the storm to be calm. How did the disciples get into this storm and - why was it necessary?
I hope I will see you Sunday morning!

Good Morning!
For the Lord sees not as man sees: Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart (1 Samuel 16).

And we became His righteousness
Now we stand here justified
Now we live because He died.”

We are looking at various causes for the devastating storms that come and test the very foundations that we have built our lives upon. Is your life standing on the solid rock foundation of Christ, hearing, knowing, and acting upon His word; or are you unwittingly building on something else? (Sand)

This week will look at the devastating effects of Satan's deceptive storm in the life of a man named Hymenaeus. Is it possible for someone who once believed to fall away from faith and be eternally lost? If someone does fall away and deny Christ - does it mean that they were never really reborn?

Welcome to Dakota Community Church
Welcome to Grace
Welcome to Freedom
Welcome to Laughter!
But now a righteousness from God, apart from law, has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. Romans 3:21-24

Last week we looked at the storm Jonah faced and saw that sometimes we wind up suffering terribly because of our own rebellious actions. (Jonah ran from the Lord in defiant disobedience.)
Now we will see from the ministry of the Apostle Paul (See link below) that there are times when our lives are disrupted by horrific storms that happen as a result of living on a fallen planet with other fallen and sinful human beings. What are the unique temptations that come when we suffer because of the actions of another? How do we survive in these cases and what is God’s will for us in the midst of these storms?
