What if interruptions that seem to threaten to ruin your plans have actually been designed by God to bring about something far greater?, This message by Pastor Dennis Beers is a unique look at the Christmas story, picturing it as a series of "glorious interruptions" in the lives of people like Zechariah, Mary, Joseph, and the shepherds, and proving that God's sovereign plan often moves forward by interrupting our personal agendas.   Pastor Dennis encourages us to view unexpected changes in our own lives as opportunities for spiritual growth and new purpose, and he challenges us to remain open to God's divine "interruptions" as we move into a new year.

Our God works through our weaknesses and limitations.

Strangers Become Family At the cradle, strangers become family. The journey of the wise ones reminds us that God's salvation doesn't stay inside our borders—it reaches every nation, every seeker, every outsider. The cradle of Christ welcomes the stranger… and invites us to do the same. ginghamsburg.org

Blind honor protects egos, partners with dysfunction, and stays silent while destruction grows. In the story of Abigail, Nabal, and David (1 Samuel 25), we see what true honor looks like. Nabal's arrogance provokes violence, David's anger threatens his destiny, and Abigail's courage interrupts disaster. She refuses blind loyalty and speaks truth with love, reminding David who God has called him to be. This sermon reveals that honor is not silence or fear—it is courage that protects destiny, confronts sin, and aligns hearts with God's purpose.

Do you have a standard you are looking to for living your life as a disciple of Jesus Christ? In John 14:12, Jesus promises, “Whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these.”  In this message Pastor Dennis gives a clear call to us to make Jesus and His life as described in the gospels the standard for our lives.  Let's not lower the standard to meet our past or present experience, but let's seek to raise our experience to the standard Jesus makes available for us.  Notes to this message are in the comments below.

Could it be that when we think we are waiting on God to move and bring a breakthrough, what is really true is that He is waiting on us? In this message, Pastor Dennis addresses the spiritual passivity that often delays our breakthroughs.  He shows us that Heaven is not holding back; rather, often we as believers are holding back our own breakthroughs through misunderstanding or unbelief.  Your breakthrough is unlocked not by passively waiting for God's timing or approval, but by your active steps of faith, agreement, and alignment with your already established identity and authority in Christ.  This message will encourage and equip you to shift from passivity to actively pursuing the healing, freedom, and blessings that were purchased by our Lord Jesus!

Pastor Dennis exposes how blind honor twists truth, silences questions, and protects harmful leaders. Like the Pharisees or any abusive system, it controls information, creates false enemies, and hides corruption behind performance. Jesus breaks the propaganda machine by confronting lies, exposing hypocrisy, and destroying fear. Real honor doesn't cover sin. Real loyalty doesn't demand silence. And real freedom begins when we stop confusing control with care and let Christ bring everything into the light.

Make Room for the King Advent is not just a celebration of Christ's coming; it's a summons to go. The incarnation is the ultimate mission trip: Jesus, the Son of God, left the glory of heaven to bring light to a dark world. As his followers, we are sent to embody that same love, especially to the poor, the forgotten, and the brokenhearted. Christmas is a border-breaking movement of compassion. Our journey begins with readiness. in Mark 1:1-8, John the Baptist calls us to prepare our hearts, crossing the inner borders of sin and apathy so we can receive the King.

What are you most thankful for this Thanksgiving?In this powerful 2025 Thanksgiving weekend message, Pastor Dennis (70 years old, born 1955) shares his personal story and the 3 things he's most thankful for after 45 years of walking with Jesus.You'll hear:-How he went from being a Wall Street party guy and nominal Catholic to discovering he was actually an enemy of God-The night in 1980 when he finally surrendered 100% to the REAL Jesus of the Bible (not the cultural or “historical” Jesus)-Why true peace with God (Romans 5:1) is the greatest gift any person can receive-How God cares for His children daily in ways we often overlook-The joy of being “in the ditch” working alongside God to reach the lostIf you've ever wondered:• “Do I really have peace with God?”• “Am I following the Jesus of the Bible or a fake version?”• “What does genuine thankfulness look like?”…this message is for you.Romans 5:1 – “Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Pastor Dennis confronts the lie that loyalty requires silence. Blind honor is deadly. When we protect a predator in the name of “forgiveness,” we are not being Christlike—we are enabling evil. The story of Amnon and Tamar proves it: Amnon acted like a predator, Tamar was shattered, and David—her own father—chose silence to protect the family name. God never calls His people to loyalty that covers sin or to honor that ignores danger. Real honor exposes darkness. Real forgiveness doesn't erase accountability. And real discernment refuses to let fear or image stand in the way of truth.

Gratitude at the Banquet God's Kingdom is one of invitation. There's a feast prepared and everyone is welcome to the party. That's how God designed it. God's kingdom is for everyone, and often we have the opportunity to invite someone to the table. Once we realize that we're welcome at God's table and we open the invitation to others around us, we'll discover our gratitude will never stop growing. ginghamsburg.org

Pastor Dennis challenges us to stop letting manipulation disguise itself as loyalty. When honor ignores red flags, it becomes bondage. But when honor is rooted in truth, it brings freedom. God is raising believers who can recognize unhealthy influence, reject emotional traps, and stand firm in the clarity of His Word.God never asks His people to silence their discernment. Scripture calls us to test every spirit, weigh every word, and guard our hearts with wisdom. Samson was blinded by Delilah's charm, the Galatians were swayed by false teachers, and even Paul warned the church about those who “masquerade as angels of light.” Discernment isn't suspicion—it's spiritual protection.

Let's be people who not only read God's Word but wield it—with faith, precision, and authority.

Blind honor isn't loyalty—it's bondage.Pastor Dennis warns that when our honor is rooted in family expectations, cultural traditions, or unexamined customs, it can lead us away from God's will. Jesus Himself showed us that true honor is never blind—it's anchored in obedience to the Father above all else. Blind honor demands silence and compliance. But God calls us to courageous clarity. Families can mislead, cultures can drift, and traditions can bind—but the Word of God never shifts. Abraham had to leave his father's house; Gideon had to tear down his father's altar. Destiny often requires us to break from what's familiar in order to follow what's holy.

Gratitude in the Fire We all face challenges and difficulties each day. Often those feel so overwhelming that we want to give up. This week as we look at the writings of Paul, we'll be reminded that our struggles are only temporary. There is more for us in the future, especially as we keep our attention focused on Jesus. When we live with gratitude, it gives us the strength to keep singing, even in the fires of life. ginghamsburg.org

Let us show our faith by obeying God in our everyday life.

Recorded October 16, 2024 - Wednesday Evening Service The Pastor went straight into preaching about what the Lord laid on his heart, about Respecting the Church & Keeping the Sanctuary Holy. This is a day and age where we have an expectation for God to show up in his house, and especially in the most Holy place in his house, the Sanctuary, but we bring the world in with us.  We bring our cell phones, drinks, candy, and every possible distraction the world has to offer, into God's HOLY SANCTUARY, and then when the service is over, we wonder, "Why didn't God show up today?"  God was there, you weren't. God commanded Moses to remove his shoes for he was stepping on Holy ground. The Sanctuary of a church is intended to be a Sanctuary FROM the World, not OF the world.  If any place in a building used for church is to be Holy, It is the Sanctuary, and we must treat it as such.

True Beauty is not about the mirror—it's about the soul.In a world that screams that your outward appearance is your ultimate value, God is calling His daughters to a radically different standard. Pastor Dennis references the story of Queen Esther, a woman who rose above her peers not because of a flawless exterior, but because of a fierce and distinguished inward beauty—the beauty of character, courage, and a surrendered spirit.The world's definition of beauty is a cruel, ticking clock. It demands perfection, promises satisfaction, and then inevitably fades, leaving behind insecurity and disappointment. We all know that no amount of external glamour can stop the relentless march of time, but the world continues to chase a temporary illusion.This message challenges every woman to shift her focus from the fleeting to the forever. Esther's true crown wasn't the one placed on her head, but the one forged in her heart. She was prepared, not just with royal treatments, but with a deep, inner work that would equip her to save a nation.
