| 9905 The Sifting |
An in-depth look the book of Amos. There are 2 sides to God - - goodness and severity. Dart describes the horrors of the Israelites being taking captive and its parallel to the WWII Jew’s captivity and the future end-time fulfillment according to Amos. Some Israelites remained, were sifted. There was corruption in the Israel courts and there is in ours today. Dart says we should serve on a jury as a small means to stem that corruption. In Amos, God despised their holy days and their wealth, because their behavior and attitude was terrible. Dart discusses “the famine of the word” and “I won’t do anything unless I tell my servants the prophets.” Future parallels. |

| 9915 Choose Liberty |
Are you free to speak in your church? Or are you intimidated? The New Testament Jewish synagogues restricted and controlled people. Does your church? Dart discusses Old Testament laws regarding liberty and notes that the Jubilee release was about more than land restoration. Freedom is precious and often people lay it down far too easily and there are men who are ready to take it. This very much applies to churches. Liberty vs license and the burdens of freedom. The real struggle for us is in balancing liberty and responsibility. God will rarely constrain us and wants us to have the freedom to choose; choosing the law of God will keep us free. Galatians 2 talks of bondage to a religious organization; the law of God is never bondage – it gives liberty. Only free men and women can grow. |

| 9922 A Widow's Plea |
A good look at the Christian's obligation to the poor and the widow, whom God specifically promises to defend. Pleading for the widows is part of the process of our sins being cleansed. God demands fairness in every business deal. It seems God is more concerned with how we treat others than how we treat Him! Evidence His rejection of sacrifices from those who mistreat others. Dart goes over a large number of scriptures inspiring proper behavior toward widows and the poor. Are we so wrapped up in religious rituals that we neglect the needy? |

| 9935 The Second Stage of Laodicea |
A powerful sermon that will shake any Church of God member to his/her core. Dart proposes that God has spewed out the entire church, as was prophesied for the church at Laodicea. He looks at the history of the Worldwide Church of God, zealousness, Laodicean traits, and suggests that this spewing out culminated in 1995. This being the case, Dart gives sound Biblical advice as to what we can and should do about it. |
| 9937 Feast of Trumpets |
Trumpets is a memorial of what? There is little historical symbolism; likely the symbolism is future. With that, Dart takes a long, fascinating look at all the trumpets and seals in the book of Revelation. The times of plenty will not last. We do not know when tough times will come, but are told to be ready now, never let down, so that when the Lord knocks, you can open the door. That preparation is not physical, but spiritual. “If your hope is in this world, your hope is on very shaky ground and you need to be planting it on higher ground, on the Rock.” |
| 9941 Understanding Evil 1 |
|
| 9947 In The Freedom of Space |
Thanksgiving sermon. Viktor Frankl’s “Man’s Search For Meaning” is compared to Israel’s exodus. As Frankl had to re-learn liberty and how to experience pleasure, the Israelites had to learn how to rest; how God’s chastisement led them to learn self-discipline which was necessary to live free, which is what God wants. Dart explains how the law of God (even tithing) is liberating, and does not result in bondage. |
| 9951 Ephesian Unity |
The unity Paul speaks of is inclusive (“How do we include everybody?”), not exclusive (“What people do we need to kick out?”). In Ephesians 2, what was the “law of commandment”, “wall of separation”, their Biblical origin, and what was abolished by Jesus? How to work toward unity today. Roles of the leaders toward unity. Unity by coercion will not last; authoritarianism divides and is contrary to the Ephesian instruction. Every joint has its role – no exclusiveness. Growth of the body is achieved by including others! |
