“By their fruits you shall know them.” Have we as a church had good fruits? Does the church teach Christian character? How? Is there an authentic devotion to Christ? Does the church teach moral perception and courageous action? Do the members love God with all their heart, soul and mind? The little choices we make every day make a difference in our relationship with God, thus we must be stirred up at church. Do I want to be different than I am? Dart shows how this is all very do-able in a very inspirational message. We each have a role. God will multiply our efforts, but a thousand times zero is zero. |
| 9811 Teach Me To Pray |
Dart goes beyond the Lord’s Prayer and its collective nature and discusses intensely personal prayer with “advanced instruction in prayer.” Includes lessons in prayer from the Psalms - - when you are on top of things, when life’s got you down, when you’ve sinned, when you’re falsely accused, when you’ve been stupid, when you’re in deep trouble, alone, forsaken, devastated. When we ask God concerning our enemies, we ask the same thing for ourselves. Do you want to come out of prayer still feeling defeated, angry, or down? Or do you want to come out feeling that your meditation on God is sweet? Open the prayer looking to God and close it glorifying Him, and being joyous in Him! |
| 9816 The Prosperity of Fools |
We have had and still have today those among us who are in general terms sometimes referred to as sundowners and doomsdayers. The message goes on to point out the dangers in setting dates and times and specific scenarios in world events and even our own personal lives. Even though the message is obviously dated by references to then current economic and political events, the similarities with today are and should be a warning to us all. Are we in real danger today and what is really important in life? The message answers the question of what is real prosperity, where does it really come from and what are we supposed to do and what are our responsibilities as a Christian? |

| 9822 Great Prayers |
Prayer is central to the Christian. Why are we often unskilled or unmotivated? How do we get the faith to know that God is listening when we pray? There is a posture and a place for regular prayer. This sermon is largely about David’s prayers – in the Psalms, concerning the temple, David’s enemies, trials, and joys. It is OK to tell God things – He knows already. It is possible to persuade God. Model prayers are not constraints. God wants prayers from the heart. David’s prayers were direct, focused. How did David get to be a man after God’s own heart? His was a simple faith; one that might even look foolish. Written prayer vs spoken. Quiet time in prayer. The discipline of prayer. Truth in prayer. Meditation. Details in prayer – be specific. Is there anything more important than our time with God? |
| 9825 Dialogue 2 |
|
| 9827 Great Prayers 2 |
A look at King David, his stages in life, his writings, and his relationship with God. David’s Psalms are prayers written during times in his life that we can relate to. Times of innocence, persecution, sinfulness, exaltation, aging, and more. Dart suggests that the 23rd Psalm was written the night before David fought Goliath. |
| 9837 Old Testament Trumpets |
The holy days have a historical Jewish perspective and a prophetic Christian perspective. Dart discusses both, and looks at the silver trumpets and the shofars, why and when were they used. What does the “Great Trumpet” have to do with redemption? Trumpets that assemble; trumpets that warn and scatter. The necessity of blowing the warning trumpet. The Day of the Lord. A time of judgment. While the symbolism of Trumpets is obscure in the Old Testament, all kinds of things start coming clear when Christology overlays the holy days. “These festivals are more significant for Christians than they ever were for Jews, if we just had the eyes to see it.” |
| 9838 To Hold Fast Deceit |
A look at leadership that lies. |
| 9832 All To The Glory of God |
Do we members delegate Christian responsibilites to the ministry? Does every aspect of our lives honor Christ? Or do we separate our secular life from our religious life? Do we neglect Christian service? Is evangelism only about announcing the truth or is practicing Christianity part of it also? Dart relates stories of how important doctrine has been in the Worldwide Church of God and how that has led to many splits today. Thus, we define ourselves by how we’re different rather than what we are and what we do. Our calling is more than our initial entry into the church. Group prayer as a Biblical example. We think of the church as an private institution, but the New Testament church was a public institution. What is the task God has for me? What does God want for me? Danger of large corporate churches getting in the way of local works. |
| 9833 Galatians 2, Acts 15 |
|
| 9841 To Love the Church |
Dart shows how the Bible lambastes the leaders in the church of God who seek to draw a following for themselves; those who say, “In order for me to be the great leader, I must separate those who will follow me from those who won’t.” In the process, they are destroying the Church of God. Dart looks at the church in the broader sense, as the body of Christ, not as the local congregations. Christ loves the church – that is, the instutition, every part. He is sactifying and saving the whole church. “Whenever we denegrate any part of the church, we are running down the body of Christ.” If you estrange yourself from the rest of your brethren, you risk estranging youself from Jesus. It has not been the church that has done harm over the years, but the leaders (Acts 20, Ezekiel 34). The people were scattered because of the corruption of the leadership. Instead of blaming the men who did these things, we mistakenly say, “the church has done a lot of harm to a lot of people,” when in reality, it is the church that has had harm done to it. It it evil men and seducers that have wrought havoc on the church. The church is the whole community of believers and those who segregate us from one another -- these people are the enemy. |
