| 97B12 Count the Cost |
An interactive talk on the cost of being a disciple of Jesus, including a limited invitation –- those who didn’t respond were shut out. Apparently it is better not to start than to start and quit. There is a cost – drifting and coasting is not good enough. Dart gives a very strong Biblical warning against slacking. Jesus expects us to work. Our responsiveness makes a difference. |

| 97SAL Beyond Salvation |
Dart takes an in-depth look at the view that we are saved by grace and rewarded according to works. Does that mean we can be saved but have no reward? Is it possible to be saved, and then have the door slammed in our face? Can we fall away? Sin as shackles and salvation as the rescue from those shackles. Justification, glorification, predestination. Healing is a type of salvation – unearned, by the grace of God. Can Jesus always be taken literally? God is involved in a huge project and wants us to be part of it. That is why He challenges us, sometimes severely. He expects us to overcome; to win. |

| 9700 Bound and Obligated |
Dart: The biggest mistake in the churches in our tradition was that the ministry did the work – rather than train the workers and admonish them as necessary. How much more might we have done if we hadn’t left it all up to the ministry? Dedicated, consecrated, committed, holy. We are all of these. Highly esteem leaders for their work’s sake. Yes, the ministry is bound and obligated, but we are all in the ministry of service and we are all bound and obligated. Why should the church grow? How? How to achieve unity? Each of us has his task. There are tasks that fit one person better than another. If he doesn’t do it, it won’t get done. Also, why so many in the church get deceived. |
| 9704 The Faith Once Delivered |
What is the faith Jude is referring to? Is it an emphasis on immoral men and immoral behavior? Or on the divisions between Sabbath-keeping churches? What is meant by “eternal fire”? “The faith” that Paul as a Jew tried to destroy was not the Sabbath or Holy Days, but Christ. The faith of Christ (belonging to Christ) is much more than faith in Christ. We need to learn to define ourselves according to our conformation to the faith of Jesus Christ, not our differences with other churches. |

| 9739 Atonement and Community |
Dart speaks on separation and how it isn’t always sin. It doesn’t mean you can’t pray. Leviticus study of unclean & reconciliation & separation (uncleanness is not sin, but a cause for separation). Separation from God is community-related, not personal. Atonement is the formal act of the end of separation. |

| 9745 To The Scattered Church |
A very sobering admonition to every member of the Church of God. Dart draws amazing parallels between the scattering of the Church of God and the scatterings of ancient Israel. “Why should we expect God to bring us all back together when we haven’t really learned to quit fighting with one another?” Israel's judges are paralleled to our church leaders and Dart asserts that everyone is (was) to blame, even the righteous ones, like Daniel (Daniel 9). Have we asked God to show us where we have gone wrong? Or are we so sure we aren’t? If we reorganize without repenting, will the results be any different? Why do problems continue to plague every organization in the COGs? “Because the underlying cause of the scattering that God has laid upon us has not been resolved.” It’s not just the leaders, for if no one followed… |
