Dix Hills Evangelical Free Church

We hope that you had a joyful Christmas celebration last week.  Our desire today is to continue that celebration as a church family.  Over the month we have been reminded of our need for Jesus, in our suffering, through injustice, and when we are fearful.  Today let us celebrate our God of hope with this [...]

“Life isn’t fair!”  You’ve heard it and even said it and felt it.  One of the longings of our hearts is that God would show up in the midst of injustices and vindicate us.  Today’s service is a call to pray for those suffering injustice in the world, and reminder of hope that is ours [...]

Chief among questions for God is why certain suffering takes place.  From our point of view as a person in pain, or as one who watches others suffer, we wonder why God doesn’t act to alleviate the pain.  Jesus entered the world, in to a poor family, among an oppressed people.  He came to demonstrate [...]

In a world of manufactured appearances and fleeting moral values, each of us longs for something to stand on and stand for.  We respect people of conviction, who have the strength to endure hardship and struggle for a cause greater than themselves.  Perhaps you are struggling to  believe in God, or believe in His goodness, [...]

You can learn a lot about someone by simply listening to what they’re thankful for.  In this week’s reading, the Apostle Paul expresses thanks and comfort to a local church.  By listening to what he said, we can learn a lot about how to live while waiting for Christ to bring peace and justice.

What do we do when a covenant is broken?  How do we respond to unfaithfulness, to a breach of contract, to a falling short of expectations?  God reveals to the nation of Israel His plan for unfaithful people in Ezekiel 16 and 17.  The prophet lays out, without mincing words, the depth of the idolatry [...]

Today we look at Galatians 3 and the promise of God to Abraham.  Much of our understanding of God’s character comes from our biblical understanding of the relationship between God’s promises and His laws.  Examine your heart today to see if you operate your life based on the faithfulness of a God who makes promises, [...]

When God’s people are in exile, they might question the power or love of God, thinking him unable or unwilling to take care of them.  The prophet Jeremiah speaks words of hope and promise to the nation, and these words are at the core of Jesus’ teaching about his work.  We will look at chapter [...]

Today we celebrate victory over death because we have a Servant who came from God to suffer for our sin.  In baptism, we are reminded of the death of Jesus, but also of His resurrection.  Today’s sermon comes from Isaiah 53.

The book of Isaiah is a call to the nation of Israel to be a city on a hill that brings light to the world.  The Book of Acts is the record of the expansion of the church to fulfill that vision of Isaiah.  Over the next few weeks we will connect the dots between [...]
