In this message, Pastor Dale continues to minister on the love of God, focusing on how His love has been poured into the hearts of born-again believers by the Holy Spirit. The supernatural love of God residing within enables believers to fulfill the command of Jesus to love others like He loves us. This means we can choose to love regardless of feelings, circumstances, or how we have been treated. Walking in the love of God does not mean becoming passive toward or enabling harmful behavior, but it does allow us to forgive, show kindness, and refuse retaliation, while walking in wisdom and establishing boundaries. We do not love because everyone deserves it. We love because Jesus first loved us, and His love within us gives us the capacity to respond like Him.

In this message, Pastor Dale teaches on the importance of believers keeping their focus on Jesus on a daily basis. Considering Jesus is to be a lifestyle, not an occasional practice or afterthought. We must intentionally choose to focus on the example, death, resurrection, intercession, and return of Jesus, rather than circumstances and the distractions of this world. By putting our attention in the right place and on the right things, we are able to persevere. No matter how strong the winds, how high the waves, or how hot the fire, when we choose to fix our gaze on Jesus and all that He is we become unshakable, unsinkable, and undevourable.

In this message Pastor Dale ministers on how Heaven's love looks completely different than the love of this world. God does not just love us when we “get it right”. His love is not based on our performance, circumstances, or even our response. God IS love, and His love toward us is settled. As believers, we must become rooted, grounded, and secure in the love of God. Truly knowing and believing the love the Father has for us changes everything, including how we love and respond to others. When His love gets established IN us, His love begins flowing THROUGH us.

In this midweek message, Pastor Dale teaches on the importance of making use of what has been deposited into our spirit through such means as corporate discipleship, personal study of the Word, the laying on of hands, impartation, and sound words of wisdom and prophecy. Hearing the Word alone is not enough. We must also give action to - "stir up" - the things that we have received by putting them into practice in our daily lives. A seed that lies dormant and unplanted will never produce a harvest. Make FULL use of what you have received.

Words have more power than we often realize.In the first episode of Let's Talk, Pastors Billy, Dale, and Dawson continue the conversation from James 3 and explore how the words we speak, and the words we receive, can shape the direction of our lives.Pastor Dale shares how unexpected conversations helped confirm God's call to Fresno, Dawson reflects on a simple conversation that changed the direction of his college experience, and the conversation turns to gossip, negative reports, daily decisions, and the importance of allowing the Holy Spirit to guide our words.The takeaway is simple: small things are big things.Our words can bring life, shape culture, and influence people in ways we may never fully see.Scripture: James 3:1-12Series: Small Things Make a Big Difference

In this message, Pastor Dale ministers on the importance of understanding that we, as born again believers, fight our battles from our heavenly position in Christ, not from the realm of the flesh. Satan is a thief and a deceiver with an agenda to steal and confuse. While Jesus utterly defeated the devil at the cross, believers - as an occupying force here in the earth - still have the responsibility of resisting him. We do this by getting to know more about the armor of God - salvation, righteousness, truth, peace, faith, and the Word - and by intentionally putting it on each and every day. With greater spiritual knowledge and skill comes greater success. Do not be ignorant of Satan's devices OR of your position in Christ. Eventually, you can know too much for some battles to work.

In this lesson, Pastor Dale teaches on how our declarations of faith are to originate from the realm of faith rather than from the realm of the mind. Simply speaking scripture or making statements of faith mechanically will not produce results. Such declarations have no root in faith and are easily shaken - or even shut down entirely - by reasoning and emotion. Faith is not a feeling in your head based on how you feel at the moment. Faith is a knowing in your spirit based on the eternal Word of God. One real test of faith is what we say when no positive emotions are present. Always declare the Word from the realm of faith regardless of whether you "feel" it or not.

In this lesson, Pastor Dale discusses how declarations of faith not only release our faith into the circumstances we face, but also keep us continually mindful of God's promises by reminding us of what He has already done and strengthening our expectation of what He will do on our behalf.

In this message, Pastor Dale ministers on the importance of born-again believers becoming "culturalized" by the Kingdom rather than remaining under the influence of the world. We do this by spending time hearing, speaking, and meditating on the Word of God. The Word is the cleansing agent that works to renew our minds and washes out the culture of the world. Living from above requires us to renew our minds to the things above on an ongoing, daily basis. Aligning our thoughts with God's allows the blessing to flow more easily into our lives and elevates us to a higher place of living.

In this lesson, Pastor Dale discusses how declarations of faith are to be a consistent part of the believer's daily life, not just one-time events like when we confess salvation. Walking in victory requires talking in faith. If we are to receive anything by faith, our mouths MUST be involved and aligned with the Word of God. Declarations of faith are not limited to quoting scripture. Praise, prayer, and even making melody in our hearts to the Lord can be a way to maintain a continual dialog of faith and fellowship with the Father throughout the day. What we say - both outwardly and inwardly - matters. Keep the declaration of victory proceeding from your mouth!

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.

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.
