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.

We often see our bodies as temporary shells or liabilities we must tolerate until we reach heaven, but what if your physical frame was actually sacred space, chosen by God to be the meeting point where heaven and earth meet? In this message Pastor Dennis explores the profound spiritual reality that the believer's body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and therefore consecrated ground.  Your physical body, as a redeemed child of God, is now chosen by God as His dwelling place on earth, carrying His presence, purpose, and protection.  Because the enemy knows this is true, he makes your physical body a primary target which he attempts to defile with sickness and weakness. Pastor Dennis teaches that as believers we must refuse the enemy's strategy and instead enforce our covenant authority in Christ, speaking truth over our bodies, and actively resisting the enemy's physical attacks as unlawful invaders on what Christ has claimed as His redeemed territory. This message will encourage and challenge you to receive God's word that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, to be cleansed and freed from whatever is attacking and trying to defile your body, and to maintain your physical health and strength so that the resurrection life of Christ may be openly manifested through you!

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

Can knowing your ultimate purpose lead to a truly satisfying life? Yes, it can!  In this foundational message, Pastor Dennis explains three essential and tightly connected elements of our purpose in life: to know God, to be known by God, and to make God known.  He gives us many Scriptures that teach this threefold purpose for our lives, as well as the example of Brother Lawrence who "practiced the presence of God" and enjoyed everyday life, shining Christ's presence in every activity no matter how small.  Listen to this message and be strengthened & motivated to live a purpose-filled life!

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

Did you know you have been designated as Jesus's Power of Attorney here on Earth? In this message, Pastor Dennis teaches us how as believers we are designated as Jesus's Power of Attorney (POA) on earth.  He explains that just as a POA acts in the interest and with the authority of another, Jesus has invited us to act "in His name."   But Dennis cautions that a POA must act within certain prescribed limitations, and shows us that our authority as Jesus's POA must be exercised according to His values and will, not for our personal agendas. This message concludes with Dennis handing out & reading a special rewritten "Durable Power of Attorney" template from Jesus's perspective that summarizes the scope of authority granted to His followers as His POA's, including healing, casting out demons, and proclaiming the gospel.  A very inspiring message!

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.

Yours is the Kingdom Each one of us has a kingdom problem. We want to build and rule our own kingdom. We want the attention, the platform, the success, the authority, and most of all the adoration that comes with those things. But as we've seen in the life of Jesus, we're not supposed to long for this kind of kingdom. Our minds and hearts are to be focused on an eternal one - the Kingdom of God. This is why we pray "Yours is the Kingdom, power, and glory forever." It's never been about our glory. It has always been about the glory of God. ginghamsburg.org
