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.

In this introductory lesson, Pastor Dale discusses the importance role of faith in the life of the believer. Biblical faith cannot be overemphasized, as it is forms the foundation of our salvation, creates the framework for our identity in Christ, and empowers us to walk victoriously in the plan and provision of God. Faith is not passive, nor is it positive thinking or simply a feeling. Faith is a lifestyle and a spiritual force that always has manifestation as its goal, and we must be cautious to not allow shortcomings to hinder us from receiving the fullness of our victory. As believers, we are not called to be short distance sprinters or to settle with only a measure. We are called to run with endurance and WIN.

Pastor Dale continues his message from the previous week, ministering on the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. Salvation can be seen as the "foyer" into the household of faith that gives us access to other "rooms" of the Spirit, one of which is the Baptism of the Holy Ghost with the initial physical evidence of speaking with other tongues. Scripture clearly reveals this is an experience available to ALL who are born-again and is separate from and occurs subsequent to the new birth. As such, every believer should desire to move beyond the foyer of faith and into this further room of the Spirit!

In this lesson, Pastor Dale teaches on how the key to experiencing the benefits of any spiritual reset lies in being obedient to the leadings of the Lord during the process. While the Lord is the One who initiate these resets in our lives, the success of those resets is dependent on whether or not we choose to obey and implement the changes that He directs. Obedience is our responsibility - and our choice. To walk the fulness of all God has planned for us, we must be quick to hear His voice and follow His lead. By doing so, we position ourselves to not only receive the benefit of the reset itself, but also the blessing associated with being obedient to the Lord.

On Sunday, Pastor Dale highlighted how Jesus' revelation that He IS "the Resurrection and the Life” brings the reality of heaven into life right now.

In this lesson, Pastor Dale teaches on how the atmosphere around us has a significant influence on our emotional, mental, and spiritual health. That impact can be either positive or negative depending on the atmosphere's pervading tone. As believers, we must accurately discern the atmosphere of the places we frequent and the people with whom we fellowship. We cannot expect to remain unaffected when we choose to stay immersed in environments charged with fear, doubt, strife, anger, or the like or maintain close relationships with those who perpetuate negativity. Where and with whom we spend our time has a direct impact on our ability to walk in victory. Choose wisely and be willing to initiate atmosphere resets when necessary.

Jesus looked at the most religious people in the holiest place in Israel and told them their father was the devil. This was not reckless provocation. It was diagnostic precision. In John 8:42-47, Jesus draws a line that cuts through every form of outward religion and lands on a single, sovereign truth: only those born of God can hear the words of God. In this exposition, Pastor Dale traces the marks of spiritual parentage—love for Christ, submission to truth, and a heart changed by the Word—against the backdrop of a crowd that had all the trappings of worship but none of its substance. Total depravity means no one comes to the truth on their own. But effectual calling means God's Word never returns void. The Spirit convinces, converts, and transforms. For the unconverted, there is an urgent invitation. For the believer, a searching self-examination. For both, the same sovereign grace.

In this message, Pastor Dale explores the deeper spiritual implications of Jesus' statements regarding His going to prepare a place for us as recorded in the Gospel of John. This is not just a heavenly "mansion" where we will spend eternity. The Blood of Jesus gives born-again believers access to rooms in the Spirit that are available to us now, not just after we die. While the new birth brings us into the "foyer" of faith, there are other places in the Father's house for us to explore and utilize, including the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. A foyer is not a place designed to live. It is merely an entry point. Be willing to step into the further rooms.
