POPULARITY
This Sunday, Pastor Dale explains the invitation Jesus gives us to live a life of simple honesty— where our yes is believable, and our no is accepted.
In this message, Pastor Dale debunks the argument of those who attempt to deconstruct the Church and excuse themselves from being part of a local assembly by saying that, because of mankind's involvement, the modern church is a flawed institution. From the beginning, God built His Church on the foundation of Jesus AND on the revelation He imparted through His Spirit to the Apostles and Prophets - the latter being imperfect human beings. Yes, men (and women) are flawed, and many have veered off course. However, God's intention has always been to use men to build and maintain His Church. He will always have a remnant of uncompromising people willing to align with His will and be used to move Christ's Body forward into greater levels of maturity, spiritual revelation, and power by making Jesus the Chief Cornerstone of their local assemblies and building upward from the foundation previously laid by the Apostles, Prophets, and spiritual fathers.
In this session of Healing School 2025, Pastor Dale discusses several ways to keep our healing, including: standing against the counterattack of the enemy, being fully submitted to God, guarding against the spirit of fear, staying in the "right company" after receiving healing, maintaining a consistent spiritual diet that feeds your faith, protecting your peace, and staying clear of offense. Although healing is a free gift made available to all born-again believers, we must do our part to defend and maintain our health by actively resisting the enemy and his devices.
This Sunday, Pastor Dale encouraged us to confront how our desires can become destructive. He reminded us that Jesus meets us there with grace and redirects our hearts toward what truly satisfies.
In this message, Pastor Dale ministers on the richness of the help made available to us as believers through our participation in and connection with the local church. Jesus never intended for churches to be places where His people only come for assistance in emergency situations or times of crisis. Rather, the local body is to be where believers gather together regularly to receive everything needed for their continued spiritual growth, including instruction, encouragement, revelation, and impartation. The full level of victory available to us in Christ cannot be obtained without being joined to the local body to which we have been called.
In this session of Healing School 2025, Pastor Dale teaches on the importance of always maintaining a well-watered supply of the Word in the ground of our hearts, not just during seasons of need or emergency. Continual watering of the Word creates deep wells of living water within our inner man. Do not try to draw from a shallow well. Take the time and make the effort to dig deep into the Word daily. Doing so will help ensure a perpetual harvest of the seed you have sown.
REVIVAL
This Sunday, Pastor Dale spoke about how we navigate conflict with one another and the importance of forgiveness.
In this introductory message, Pastor Dale ministers on how the Lord intends for us to be an active part of a local church, not just the "universal" Body of Christ. Jesus never intended for His followers to do the work of the Kingdom isolated from one another. As born-again believers, He has called us OUT from the world and INTO local assemblies with others of like faith. While the Lord can release some things to us individually, there are other things that can only be imparted and released to us in the corporate anointing.
In this introductory session of Healing School 2025, Pastor Dale teaches on how the principle of seed time and harvest connects to and impacts our harvest of healing. To reap any type of harvest, seed must first be sown, then watered. For the believer, our harvest begins when we sow the Word of God into the (good) soil of our hearts. Once the seed of the Word is deeply planted beneath our heart's soil, we must then take time to water the seed of the Word WITH the Word. We do this by continuing to look at, meditate in, pray, and speak the Word of God until the fullness of our harvest is made manifest.
This Sunday, Pastor Dale launched the fall series The Second Mile by looking at how to respond when others insult, persecute, or speak falsely against us.
In John 6:1-15, Jesus performs one of His most famous miracles—feeding thousands with five loaves and two fish, but when the grateful crowd tries to crown Him king, He disappears into the mountains. Pastor Dale works through this passage to show how Christ's kingship operates differently than we expect, addressing real struggles like financial pressure, leading our families well, and trusting God's provision in difficult circumstances. This sermon challenges us to embrace Jesus as He reveals Himself in Scripture, rather than reshaping Him to fit our preferences.
In this session, Pastor Dale teaches on the help provided to born-again believers through the ministry of angels. The work and purpose of angels is often overlooked and / or misunderstood in the modern Church. However, scripture clearly shows that angels are ministering spirits sent by the Father to provide powerful help to those who have received salvation, and examples of angelic assistance are recorded throughout the Old and New Testament. Just as the Word of God and the Holy Spirit are powerful sources of help to the believer today, so too is the ministry of angels, with the three often working hand-in-hand.
In this message, Pastor Dale ministers on the importance of stirring up our desire for the things of God and for what He says is ours. Just as hunger and thirst cause us to seek out food and drink, desire moves us to pursue God's promises. If your spiritual desire is dwindling, whet your appetite by showing up at church, getting into the Word, and prioritizing the things of God -- even when motivation is lacking. Allow these small "bites" to rekindle your hunger to seek out, possess, and occupy all that God has for you.
In this session, Pastor Dale discusses the help the Holy Spirit provides to the born-again believer. The Holy Spirit was sent into the earth to accomplish much more than bringing conviction to the heart of man in order to lead us into salvation and the new birth. He was sent to be a constant helper to the believer, one that comes alongside us to aid us in every area of life. With the Holy Spirit abiding within us, we are never without help!

In this message, Pastor Dale ministers on how we, as New Covenant / New Testament saints, can successfully occupy and maintain control of the spiritual territory we now possess. In Christ, we have been made free to stay free, made righteous to stay righteous, made healed to stay healed, and made victorious to STAY victorious. However, the enemy will always attempt to unseat us from our position of victory. Keeping our seats requires continued meditation on His Word. Hearing with the natural ear is not enough. The Word must also be heard in our hearts and quickened in our spirits in order for us to move forward into all that God has for us.
In this session, Pastor Dale discusses the "help" of the Word of God, the first of three types of divine help to be discussed in this series. God never intended for His children to live defeated lives. He gave us His Word as ourguide, our power, and our victory. The Word offers help to the believer by providing supernatural revelation into the plan, purpose, and nature of God, producing and strengthening faith, acting as a carrier of divine blessings (such as healing and deliverance), and by serving as the spiritual weapon that equips us for victory in every battle.

This Sunday, Pastor Dale spoke about the war going on inside us, and it starts with our words.
In this message, Pastor Dale ministers on how God does not intend for our possession of His promises to be a temporary victory. His will is for us to occupy and dwell long-term in all that He has made available to us. However, we must actively defend against the enemy's attempts to regain control of the spiritual territory we now occupy. Do not be tempted to move out of your position. Establish a strong foundation in the Word, build a wall of faith, and allow yourself to develop deep roots in the things of God. When Satan attempts a come back, put up a permanent "no vacancy" sign by meeting him at the door with the Sword of the Spirit and putting him to flight.
In this powerful message, Pastor Dale Simmons dives into what it truly means to be knowledgeable as a follower of Christ. In a world filled with information overload, how do we cultivate godly wisdom and apply it to our daily lives? Join us as we explore how knowledge rooted in Scripture can transform the way we think, live, and connect faith with everyday life.
In this episode, Pastor Dale shares a powerful and personal message on guarding what matters most. Drawing from the story of David at Ziklag and his own leadership journey, he unpacks how spiritual leaders can protect their families, build lasting marriages, and stay strong in the midst of ministry battles. Learn how awareness, preparation, and honest conversations can keep your "gates" secure—so your ministry flows from a healthy, whole life at home.

In this lesson, Pastor Dale teaches on the importance of our understanding the full scope of the abundant life made available to us through Jesus. As believers, we should expect the flow of abundance to impact all areas of our lives, not just spiritual things. God never intended for His children to scrape by with barely enough spiritually, mentally, physically, or financially. Walking in the fullness of the Father's blessing not only allows us to bless others and expand the Kingdom, it also brings glory to Him as our source and provider.

Pastor Dale concludes our "Summer in the Psalms" series for 2025 with a sermon from Psalms 73.
In this message, Pastor Dale discusses the importance of addressing any “giants” that oppose or hinder our spiritual progress. Just as the children of Israel were required to drive out the giants who inhabited the Promised Land, born-again believers must also drive out any giants and tear down any enemy strongholds attached to their old lives. No matter how loud or how longstanding, these hindrances must go if we are to move into and fully occupy all God has promised us as His children.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale continues his teaching from last week on the "Law of Increase". Increase in any area of our lives begins at the seed level, and how we treat the seed determines the level of increase we will receive. God sees and honors those who are faithful with "the little". If we desire to receive more from Him, we must increase our interest level in spiritual things, being careful not to neglect or lightly esteem His leadings, no matter how small or insignificant they might appear to us at the time.
In this message, Pastor Dale ministers on how God's will is for us to move in and “make ourselves at home” in all that He has promised. However, to accomplish this we must first dispossess the enemy from any areas he is attempting to occupy in our lives. By actively resisting, we are able to drive the enemy out of what is rightfully ours. It does not matter how strong, how longstanding, or how numerous his strongholds might appear. Satan is merely a squatter. In Christ, we hold the title deed, and through Him we have the power to dispossess the enemy. Now is the time to serve Satan an eviction notice and take possession of ALL the territory to which God has given you the keys.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale teaches on the Law of Increase, one of the spiritual laws that govern how the Kingdom of God works. Increase is a Kingdom blessing. However, the level of increase we receive in our lives is directly controlled by the level of interest and attention we give to spiritual things, in particular the revelation Word we hear, receive, and act upon. Honoring the Word God has already given us sets us up for further advancement and blessing.
In this message, Pastor Dale ministers on the importance of exercising active faith in order to take possession of all that God has promised us in His Word. Passively "waiting on the Lord" is not enough. We must actively engage in possessing / taking what God has provided to us. In Christ, we have been given dominion. However, it is still our responsibility to take initiative and go after all that is ours by "treading out the territory" and resisting the enemy by knowing, cooperating with, and declaring God's Word.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale teaches on how to position ourselves to receive the Spirit of Increase in our lives. This includes keeping covenant with God, walking in obedience, giving God's Word first place in our lives, having a strong work ethic, and honoring God with our finances through tithes and offerings. Although God's will is for all His children to increase, prosperity does not simply manifest without our first being appropriately positioned to receive it. Even if manna falls from heaven, we are still required to put forth the effort to go gather it up.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale teaches on how God is NOT in the business of subtracting blessings from the lives of His children. His will and His ways are all about increase and multiplication. We see example upon example of this throughout scripture, from Genesis to the New Testament. While tradition and religion have done much to negate the message of prosperity, God's will in this matter has not changed. He still desires to increase His people in all areas of their lives. Our responsibility is to renew our minds to what His Word says on this subject in order that we may walk in the full measure of blessing that He intends for us to enjoy.
Guest Speaker | Pastor Dale Zick by East Bay Calvary Church
In the sermon "Peace Even in the Midst of the Storm," Pastor Dale explores the profound and enduring peace promised by Jesus, even amidst life's greatest challenges. Reflecting on John 14:25-27, the sermon emphasizes that true peace is not merely the absence of conflict but a divine gift that transcends human understanding, remaining steadfast through life's storms. The message invites us to embrace Jesus's unconditional love and grace, reminding us that His love and peace are eternal. By trusting in Jesus, we can find strength, healing, and hope, much like the story of the thief on the cross who discovered peace in his darkest moment. Join us as we reflect on the promises of Christ and the transformative power of His love.
This week Pastor Dale wrapped up the series answering the question: What does a resurrection culture look like? Ultimately, because of the resurrection and Spirit living inside us, a resurrected culture is a community of Kingdom carriers.
