In this message, Pastor Dale teaches on how the Kingdom of God, just like the societies of the earth, has its own culture. As heavenly citizens, we are to forsake the ways of this world in favor of the ways of God's Kingdom. Rather than blending in with the world, our lives are to stand out in stark contrast to it. We are the unique, covenant people of God who have been called to operate from a higher system—the culture of Heaven. Those who have been seated far above should LIVE as ones far above.

In this message, Pastor Dale teaches on the importance of confessing with our mouths what we are believing for by faith. A declaration of faith is more than the physical act of just saying something out loud for the sake of saying it or simply because we know doing so is "the right thing to do" as a believer. A true declaration of faith is taking God's Word boldly into your mouth so that you become His voice in the earth, speaking His truth and authority against the enemy. By doing so, we give voice to what God has already spoken. Because His Word cannot return void, we can expect victory when we stand in faith and declare His will over our circumstances.

In this lesson, Pastor Dale teaches on how the name of Jesus is a tool to be used by believers, NOT a trophy to be put on a shelf. Many people speak the name of Jesus but do so without an understanding of the authority and covenant rights invested in that name. They do not exercise the authority it represents. Simply saying the name is not enough. It is faith in who Jesus is and an understanding of the authority He has delegated that releases the power of His name into a believer's life.

In this lesson, Pastor Dale teaches on the importance of not only honoring the Bible as God's Word, but also reading and recognizing it as His covenant. When we move beyond seeing the Bible only as divinely-inspired teachings, principles, and historical accounts, and begin to view it as a book filled with God's legally binding, covenant with us, everything changes. As believers, our confidence rests on God's faithfulness and His unchanging promises. Because we are in covenant with Him, we can boldly declare His Word and rest assured that we have His help.

This Sunday, Pastor Dale presented a case study on the wise (and unwise) use of our words as outlined extensively through the book of Proverbs.

In this lesson, Pastor Dale discusses the help provided to the believer through the blood of Jesus. The power of the blood of Christ did not stop at Calvary. The same blood that saved us continues to work on our behalf throughout our earthly lives. When we maintain a constant awareness of the blood, we keep ourselves in position to receive of the help it provides. The blood has never - and will never - lose its power. However, it is up to us to believe in and apply it each and every day.

In this message, Pastor Dale ministers on how we, as born-again believers, are set apart from the world and its systems. We have been made citizens of heaven and, as such, the systems by which we operate originate from that realm. We are to live from a higher place by renewing our minds so that our thoughts and actions come into alignment with heaven's way of operating. We position ourselves to receive the flow of heaven's blessing by honoring God's Word and making room for Him to abide in our lives.

This week, Pastor Dale walked us through 5 steps along the path of Godly wisdom as outlined in Proverbs 3:1-12.

Pastor Dale continues our series "Pilgrims of Promise" with a sermon from Genesis 40:5-23 and 41:1-16.

Pastor Dale has found the book of Esther to be both disturbing and inspiring. Disturbing in the uneasiness of finding dramatic protection from brutal treatment against people, while inspiring in finding God's way of growing in life through in the giving ways of God's grace shared with others.

Have you ever been let down by someone who was supposed to protect you? A leader who disappeared when things got hard, a guide who turned out to be in it for themselves? Jesus speaks directly into that disappointment in John 10:11-13. He describes himself as the Good Shepherd, not a hired hand who cuts and runs when the cost gets too high, but the one who willingly stands between his people and everything that threatens them. And he didn't just stand there. He died. He absorbed the full weight of sin and God's wrath, and he didn't flinch. Pastor Dale draws out a truth that is both humbling and freeing: your walk with God is not held together by how faithful you are to him, but by how faithful he was at the cross. The shepherd who didn't flee then is the same shepherd who will not abandon you now. That's not sentiment: that's the gospel.

This week, Pastor Dale laid the groundwork for our study in the book of Proverbs and our emphasis on seeking Godly wisdom together this summer.

In this lesson, Pastor Dale teaches on the importance of exercising spiritual discernment to determine the source of the words we receive into our lives and the spirits and motives behind them. The motive of the enemy is always to move believers away from the plan and purposes of God. Not only will Satan weaponize the words spoken over us by others, he will also attempt to use against us the words we say to ourselves. Regular fellowship with God and reliance on the unction of the Holy Spirit within us is key to discerning whose voice is speaking to us. Recognizing a counterfeit voice is much easier when we are familiar with the voice - and the Words - of our Heavenly Father.

This week, Pastor Dale used snapshots from Jesus' ministry to demonstrate just how deeply He sees, hears, and values His people— no matter what they walk through.

In this message, Pastor Dale ministers on how heaven notices every spiritual practice we engage in with the right heart. God recognizes every sincere pursuit of Him. Spiritual activities such as prayer, praise, confession, and giving all work for our good when we keep faith over the process and truly believe in the benefits of what we are doing.

In this lesson, Pastor Dale teaches on how living in the fullness of God is made available to every believer. However, the degree to which we experience this is up to us and is directly connected to how we live in two main areas of our lives: the Word and the Spirit. The Word and Spirit work together in the life of the believer - and we must live full of both. Balance in each is crucial, as any attempt to partake of one without the other will result in less than fullness.

In this message, Pastor Dale ministers on the significance of hearing and receiving divine utterance. Like the waters in Ezekiel's vision, there is a progression to divine utterance. This process moves us from the basic level of receiving foundational truth and elementary instruction from God's Word, to the revelation stage where that truth is illuminated by the Spirit and we receive further insight, to the place where the Word is transformed in us from simply logos to life-producing rhema and, finally, to the level where the mysteries and deep spiritual realities hidden in God are revealed. As believers, we must come to a place that, when divine utterance has been spoken to us, no other word can affect us / change us / move us / shake us. Why? Because we have received a word from God, and a word from God takes precedence over every other voice attempting to speak to our lives. We are to live by divine utterance.

If you've ever been put off by religious institutions, their politics, their gatekeeping, their self-assured certainty, you might find an unexpected ally in John 9. In John 9:35-41, the religious establishment had excommunicated a man for telling the truth about his own experience. They had the credentials, the tradition, the community standing. And Jesus tells them directly: your confidence that you can see is precisely what blinds you. The man they threw out, the one with nothing left to lose, ends up worshiping the God they claimed to represent. This text raises a question worth sitting with: is it possible to be deeply religious and entirely wrong about the most important things? And is it possible that the thing you've written off—genuine faith in Jesus—is actually more honest about human nature, guilt, and grace than anything else on offer? Pastor Dale preaches John 9:35–41 without softening the edges. It's worth your time.

This Sunday, Pastor Dale closed out the series by unpacking how the daily decision to live in step with God's Holy Spirit produces real Change That Sticks.

In this message, Pastor Dale ministers on the power of demonstrative, vocalized, passionate praise. Praise unlocks places in the Spirit and achieves breakthroughs that would otherwise be unattainable. Praise takes our focus off the problem and shifts it over to God, magnifying Him over the circumstances. Our praise is a powerful weapon, but it REQUIRES expression. Silence on the sideline does not win battles. Shout, run, sing! When we yield the fruit of our lips to praise, we can expect a harvest of victory.
