FEED OUR COMMUNITY with HOPE!
Posted by: | CommentsHello DC Friends & Family,
Thank you for being the most generous people on the planet! Seriously, I am in awe of how God continues to use you to love on the hurting, the broken, and hopeless in this community!
I’m calling on you once again to help us show the LOVE OF JESUS to our community! During this Easter season we are partnering with the NH Food Bank to feed families in the Manchester Area and provide the hope we have in Jesus Christ.
Here is what YOU can do:
1. VOLUNTEER FOR 1-2 HOURS ON SATURDAY, MARCH 31ST, 9AM TO HANG DOOR HANGERS.
Meet at thedc Manchester Campus at 9am for instructions, road maps, and a stack of door hangers to put on houses in the Manchester area. We are looking for 20-25 volunteers who can either drive a vehicle or hang the door hangers on foot. You will be grouped into teams; it will be fun & best of all you will be blessing our community with food and an invite to Easter Sunday at The Dialogue Church!
2. VOLUNTEER FOR 1-2 HOURS ON SATURDAY, APRIL 7TH, 9AM TO COLLECT DONATED GOODS.
Meet at thedc Manchester Campus at 9am for instructions. We will then head out in teams to collect all of the donated goods from the neighborhoods we had put door hangers on! Please pray for each family to accept our invite to Easter Sunday! If you haven’t yet, please RSVP to our Easter Event on Facebook!
3. BRING YOUR OWN NON-PERISHABLE GOODS TO THEDC ON EASTER SUNDAY, APRIL 8TH, 10AM.
You can still participate in this wonderful food drive by bringing in your own box of non-perishable goods. We will have a large container in the foyer at the Cinemagic & IMAX Theaters on Easter Sunday, April 8th, 10am. For more info please email Dawn@thedc.tv.
4. GIVE FINANCIALLY TO OUR SPECIAL EASTER OUTREACH OFFERING.
There is one more option for contributing to this amazing outreach project. You can give financially to spreading the gospel and feeding families in our community. You can give online at www.thedc.tv or you can give this Sunday with your Offering Envelope. Be sure to write in the designation “Easter Offering”.
Just $10 will help us send about 100 mailers or print 100 door hangers, or purchase 1 more radio ad. Your contribution will help us impact more people with the Good News of Jesus Christ! My family personally gave $500 above & beyond our regular tithes & offerings to this special Easter Offering! What a joy!
Sincerely,
Pastor Steve Jesmer

Don’t Give Up…
Posted by: | CommentsAs long you as have breath you have breakthroughs coming your way! I am so blown away by all that Jesus is doing in and through The Dialogue Church! Thank you for praying for this ministry and for being so passionate about the Kingdom of God!
If you missed last week’s message on serving in The House, you can still listen online atwww.thedc.tv/listen.
Just this past Sunday 1 man invited Jesus Christ to be His Forgiver & Leader at The Dialogue Church! WOW! We get to see souls saved every single weekend! What an honor! I am so humbled to be your Pastor! In the past 23 months 236 precious souls have invited Jesus Christ to be their Forgiver & Leader at TheDC.tv! That is a miraculous move of God! Thank you for being a part of it!
Let me ask you this, WHO IS THE LAST PERSON YOU HAVE INVITED TO CHURCH AND LED TO FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST? Jesus said, “Follow me and I will make you to become fishers of men.” Are you fishing for men? Are you leading others to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ? How about you start on Easter Sunday? Who will you bring to Church on Easter?
Also on Sunday at our Vision Night we saw 3 more new believers obey Jesus in the step of baptism! Woohoo! I am so proud of each of you who played a part in leading these people to Christ! What a celebration we had! We also shared the next step in our Renovation Plans for our dcManchester Campus! The future is so BRIGHT at The Dialogue Church! Then we went on a PRAYER WALK around our dcManchester Campus! WOW! That was one of the greatest things we’ve ever done corporately as a church family! Thank you for believing in the promise of Jesus in Matthew 16:18, “I will build my church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it.” Be sure to check out the pictures on our Facebook Page!

5 Ways to Prepare for an EPIC EASTER
Posted by: | CommentsI’m so excited for EASTER 2012.
I’m believing God for a miraculous breakthrough in every life that enters His House!
I’m believing God for a record breaking day in church attendance, which is so important because every number represents a soul saved by Jesus and a life changed by the gospel!
I’m believing God for addictions to be broken, marriages to be restored, hurts to be healed, relationships to be reconciled, frustrations to be freed up, worries to be turned into worship, fears to be turned into failure, and sins to be turned into salvation.
BUT…for all these things to happen we must be willing to partner with God.
Without us, He won’t, and without Him, we can’t.
Here are 5 things you can do to partner with God for making Easter a day of resurrection for so many:
1. Honestly confess any junk in the trunk.
Seriously, just bring your sin, shame, guilt, secrets, hurts, offenses to Jesus. Jesus says, If you confess it I can bless it. If you reveal it I can heal it. Because of Easter Jesus makes dead things alive. What in your life is dead? Jesus wants to bring about a resurrection. The same power that raised Jesus from the grave lives inside of you. In Christ, you have comeback power!
2. Bodly ask God for big dreams.
Bold prayers honor God. And God honors bold prayers. Maybe it’s the salvation of a loved one. Maybe its healing for a spouse, a child, or yourself. Maybe its to be financially free, or own your own home, or find a new job. Just make it big, and make sure you are asking for something that requires God to show up and show out. Small dreams insult our big God.
3. Don’t play it safe.
Don’t just sit around and do nothing. Act like those prayers are already being answered. Put some action behind those prayers. Expect God to fulfill the promise he has placed in your heart. Come Easter morning expecting God to supernaturally bless you beyond your wildest dreams. Attempt something great for God. A friend in our church recently told me, “Pastor, my wife and I have set a goal to fill an entire row of seats at church with people who need Jesus.” And now they are acting on it. They have already begun inviting, and two of their relatives came to church and accepted Christ last weekend. Woohoo!
4. Be faithful to the House!
Don’t miss a single week of worship leading up to Easter Sunday, April 8th. The more you participate in the House, the more God participates in your home! It’s time we bring our homes back into His house, and His house back into our homes. Stay planted in the House. If you aren’t serving, now is a great time to start. You are blessed to be a blessing. If you aren’t giving, now is the time to start. You will find healing and hope when you bring your home into His house! Get up early for church, arrive early, get your whole family involved! Lead the way, be the example.
5. Infect others with your passion for The House! Don’t keep it a secret. Share the dream or prayer with others. Pray together, and worship together. Come to church together, and infect one another with an incurable HOPE in the goodness of God upon your lives. Keep believing God for greater, don’t let a single day go by without sharing Gods greatness with somebody else.
Take time today to write down the names of those you are going to invite to Easter Sunday. Now start investing God’s love into them, they will eventually want a whole lot more!
