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.

This Sunday, Pastor Dale shared the good news that our purpose is not invented but received through the Spirit of God working within us, and the training of our minds. 

In this special service, Pastor Dale ministers on the authority and dominion we have in Christ As born again believers, we are not meant to be spiritual "firemen" constantly scurrying back and forth to fight the fires Satan attempts to set in our lives. Instead, we are to rise up and walk by faith in the authority entrusted to us by Jesus, crushing the head of our enemies and keeping the kingdom of darkness under our feet where it belongs. Through Christ, victory is now ours for the taking, but it is up to us to do the treading. When the feet of a covenant man or woman step through a door - both spiritually and in the natural - dominion enters the room.

Pastor Dale kicked off the series with the encouragement that transformation does not begin with behavior modification. It begins with intimate relationship our God— who is able to do immeasurably more than we could imagine.

In this message, Pastor Dale ministers on the purpose and benefits of speaking in tongues and discusses the difference in tongues operating within the Church as a Gift of the Spirit versus as a private prayer language. When divided accurately, scripture clearly shows that, in addition to being the initial evidence of being baptized in the Holy Spirit, the ability to speak in tongues is an invaluable help that every born again believer should earnestly seek after and receive.

Have you ever sat in a waiting room, stood at a graveside, or stared at a ceiling at 2am wondering what you did to deserve this? You're not alone, and you're not the first. The disciples asked Jesus the same question when they passed a man who had been blind since birth: who sinned? Jesus's answer is tender and surprising. Nobody sinned to cause this. This man's suffering exists so that the glory of God can be put on display. In John 9:1–5, Pastor Dale brings the weight of that answer to bear on real life: the bad diagnosis, the faltering marriage, the choices that cost you more than you planned. The God who redeemed the darkest Friday in history has not abandoned you in yours. Your suffering is not the end of the story. It may be exactly how the story of your eternal life begins.
