This week, Alan shares about the transformative power of the fear of the Lord. A call to return to holiness, reverence, repentance, and divine intimacy. Alan shares on how living in awe of God's majesty unlocks unprecedented fullness, blessing, and renewal in our lives. As we reject both legalism and liberalism, we open ourselves to the wild, vibrant goodness and holiness of God.

This week, we explore the powerful changes that happen when God draws near. Drawing from Jeremiah 9:23-24, Psalms 130:4, and Malachi 3:16-17, we see how God’s mercy and righteousness stir reverence in His people. Through forgiveness and refinement, He calls us to honor Him, purifying our hearts and actions. When we live in awe of Him, God responds with blessing, renewal, and restoration.

Today, Alan continues our series on “Mercy Triumphs”. When God draws near, darkness collides with righteousness, sparking a movement of worship and reverence. His Word restores, His judgments bring justice, and His mercy triumphs. As we seek Him, He rains righteousness upon us, leading us deeper into worship and transforming our hearts.

In our message today, Alan encourages us that God’s mercy always triumphs. Through Psalm 103, we are reminded that “The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love.”  In His dealings with us, God always puts His mercy on display and His Divine longing is to display His mercy in and through our lives. We are called to be a people who understand, walk in and worship God for both His kindness and His righteousness.

This week, Kathryn shares an encouraging message from 2 Kings 3 and Psalm 126.   The Lord is saying, look over the dry places - the places empty but ready - the places pregnant with promise, yet still dry. The voice of the One who called us into the desert, is the same voice speaking now - over the dry valley of the things we’ve been crying out to Him to move in.   And He is saying, “this dry valley will be filled with pools of water. It’s not going to come the way you’ve seen it come before - don’t look to the same old places. Don’t look to the sky, don’t wait for the wind to change, don’t be discouraged by the blue above you, by cloudless, windless skies. This isn’t coming in on the wind, AND this isn’t a downpour borrowed from another place. This is coming - this water, this refreshing, this source of life that we so desperately need is coming by the hand of the Lord Almighty!! And why? Because HE HAS SPOKEN. And when HE speaks, everything changes.   Get ready for the deluge!

In our final part of the ‘Beloved in the midst of battle’ series, Alan encourages us through Psalm 149. We see the ones who remain in his love, rejoice in being honored. There is an invitation to sing for joy from the place of rest. And as we release the sound of joy in His love, it becomes the sound of judgement over His enemies. This can seem a little confusing to us. It can feel like a departure from intimacy. But intimacy is about giving ourselves fully to Him and His ways. There is an intimacy within praise and there is a beauty in the judgements of God.

We are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. We will come through the struggle. But it’s really not a win to come through our personal struggle devoid of tenderness and increased intimacy with the Father.   The good fight is to bring him a loving heart conquered by love. The good fight is for tenderness in the thick of darkness. It is the fight for softness of heart when the love of most grows cold and weariness and numbness threaten to take hold. And to all His conquerors, he invites to become more than conquerors. His beloved lovers resting in Him.

Today, Alan continues our conversation on the “Beloved in the midst of Battle”.  We are beloved. When we live knowing this and no longer as orphans we no longer need to protect ourselves. We no longer need to prove our spirituality, our authority or our identity. We no longer need to promote ourselves. Those wrestles that are so constant in our hearts turn into resting in love and wrestling for the sake of others. We are the beloved and we have learned to rest.

Alan opens up a new conversation today: Beloved in the midst of Battle. We never cease being beloved. We never cease being in battle. Being beloved doesn’t protect us from battle, it prepares us for battle. We are to live as the beloved in the midst of battle. When the battle is raging, we can discover that in ALL these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loves us.

James encourages us today through Acts 18 where Paul discovered that just next door, God was moving. Breakthrough was right next to Paul even though it didn’t feel like it. But to get next door, he had to have next level thinking, he had to take a next step, and he entered what was next. Not so that he could escape what was happening around him but so he could enter into what God was doing around Him.

Joel takes us on a journey through Acts 3 and 4 as the early believers live out the Kingdom in their everyday.  Despite ongoing persecution, the power of God was displayed. God continually showed His goodness in the midst of the darkness and that is available for us today.

Through Isaiah 53:1-4, Alan shares some keys on how do you begin the fight for joy when all you have known is emptiness not fulness? There is a sound of joy rising from your lips and from your life that shatters the works of the enemy and raises people around you into life. It’s the sound of your breakthrough, the sound of your enlargement, the sound of increase.

Today, Kathryn wraps up our series on Joy. How do we take joy and make it the steady song at the top of our hearts, the persistent prayer on the tip of our tongues, the deliberate direction of the steps of our feet? We must choose connection, choose what we consume, choose contentment and choose compassion. As we do, we can put joy on repeat.

Kathryn continues our series this morning by looking at joy for the journey. Stand firm in joy that safeguards you from the things that would rob you of your future. Stand firm in joy that surpasses every other treasure as it sharpens your focus on Jesus. Stand firm in joy that sustains in the middle of the worst suffering and the most difficult circumstances. Stand firm in joy that spurs you on until the glorious day of the Lord’s returning.

Today, Kathryn continues our summer series on joy. How do we lock in joy so that it becomes established in our lives? If we want to be strengthened by joy in our relationships, we must cut out comparison, control, complaint and cynicism. We must co-labor with those who live beyond themselves.

Kathryn kicks off our new summer series and invites us to be strengthened by joy through the book of Philippians. The keys in being strengthened by joy is to enjoy God’s presence, to expect God’s goodness, to embrace God’s process for our life and to enter God’s purpose for our life.

Alan invites us into a Mature expression of hope. It has to do with fulness and inheritance, not simply freedom and deliverance. Many believers settle for what God has done for them and miss what he wants to do through them for others.   He wants to move you from deliverance to inheritance. Not just freedom from your past, but fulness of His promise.

This Pentecost Sunday, Alan invites us to experience divine favor. Divine favor is unending in your life, unfolding in your situation, unlocking your future, unleashed in His time and leads you to unprecedented opportunity.

Restoration is not about bringing your past back, restoration is about bringing your future home. Alan encourages us today to take hold of the life to which we have been called. We need to take hold of the promises of God for our future and arise and begin to pursue them.

Alan shares with us through a defining moment in David’s life that your darkest day can be the day where restoration begins. For restoration to begin, you have to recognize what you have lost, you have to fight for what is yours and you have to see what’s at stake. If you give up on the small things today you lose out on the great things of tomorrow.

As we step into our Go Pray Week, Alan reminds us that David knew what it was to enter into the presence of God in intimacy and to come out before the Lord with initiative. He understood prayer as beholding God’s beauty but David also understood the power of prevailing prayer. There is a fresh invitation available to know the God of breakthrough.

Our guest speaker, Heidi Baker, who leads Iris Ministries shares with us through the first chapters of Philippians. She reminds us again about Paul’s prayer and how Jesus came into this earth. We are called to choose the brown robe.

Our guest speaker, Katia Adams, lead pastor of the Table Church in Boston, brings a message from the first chapters of Joshua. She shares with us some keys as we understand the anatomy of breakthrough and step forward into promise.

Through 1 John 3, Alan invites us to be immersed in the love of the Father that transforms everything.

By journeying through John’s account of Jesus appearing to His disciples, Joel invites us to enter the reality of the Easter story where Jesus presents His presence, proclaims His peace, presents His suffering and His commission.

Alan reminds us today that Jesus came and broke the curse. The curse upon our land, our workplace and our increase. He didn’t come just to repair but to redeem us from the curse of the law.

Alan shares with us through Matthew 10 about what it means to live with an understanding of ourselves as an apostolic community. We are sent on assignment, with authority, to establish atmospheres, into the territory of the adversary and we will not be afraid or ashamed.

From Psalm 28:7, Alan encourages us that in times of trouble God is either our shield, healing and protecting us, or our strength, giving us power to reign with Him in trials.

Speaking from Luke 10, Joel explores the invitation from Jesus to live present to His voice and feet in the atmosphere of His glory.

Through Psalm 84:11-12, Alan encourages us that God does not withhold no good thing. A good thing is not withheld, but it can be held up. If it’s held up, it’s stored up. If it’s stored up, it’s getting poured out. When it’s poured out, it is an outpouring.

Your operating system opens or closes your world. Alan highlights how there are three operating systems we see in scripture. Immorality, Morality and Glory. The church of the Living God did not begin with rules; it begins with baptism and is sustained through baptism not behaviour, Glory not morality.

Speaking from Isaiah 6, Alan shows us that seeing the Lord turns our existence upside down, transitioning us from a moral people to pursuers of His glory. There is an invitation to discover a new dimension of His glory.

From Exodus 2, Alan shares with us that our cries for help do not fall on deaf ears because God never forgets, nor will he ever break His covenant. As we are in Christ, he promises to not only hear our prayers but to deliver us.

In this message, Alan underscores the vital importance of being a people who don’t just read God’s word, but tremble when they hear it. God is gathering this kind of people for His glory.

Through Zechariah 9:11-12, Alan shares how through covenant, we have been freed as prisoners of the pit to now being prisoners of hope. Restoration and Resurrection is available through Him.

Through Genesis 45, Alan encourages us today that God has the power to revive our dreams that feel lost. It is not the end of the story. It is not over until God says it is over.

We need a fresh revelation of Jesus as we step into the new year. His throne was established long ago and He is clothed in majesty.  Through this reminder. Alan encourages us to “Hold the Door” as we see a generation rise in righteousness.

Alan finishes our incredible year at Dwelling Place Anaheim journeying through Psalm 126. The Lord is doing something with us in song and we believe for songs of joy in 2024.

Through Mary’s song in Luke 1, Joel encourages us that God is stirring a song and a sound, spanning across the generations in our community. A righteous generation that will deliver and display God’s purposes upon the earth. 

When God is birthing something new in us, He often releases a new sound, a new song, a fresh praise in our mouths. Hear Alan share on the importance of song and the celebration of God’s righteousness.

Today, Alan continues our journey through the Gospel of Mark. In Mark 14:17-26, we discover that we are not only tested by betrayal, we are tenderized by it and  transformed by it. It reveals what God has placed in us by His Spirit.

This week, Alan shares from Mark 14:1-9 on extravagant worship that marks the heart of God and accelerates God’s purposes in the Earth.

This week, Alan continues to explore Mark 10:17-27 and the process of removing the idol of wealth from our hearts. Discover how a compassionate life can bring heavenly treasures into our lives.

This week, Alan explores Mark 10:17-27 and the process of removing the idol of wealth from our hearts. Discover how a compassionate life can bring heavenly treasures into our lives.

This week is about adding feet to our prayers and connecting with God in our own neighborhoods, homes, and workplaces. 

Today James shares from Galatians the message of our God who comes with lasting freedom - freedom found not in a course or in anything else, but in a Person.  

We've been in a conversation for a number of weeks about God's faithfulness. This week we explore how, when we know we're in a covenant relationship, we realize that the only thing we bring to it is rest. 

This week we turn to Mark 9, and pick up the story as Jesus begins to speak to the covenant He makes with us.

This week we explore what God does with our shame, and how we grow as a community of those unashamed before our Lord.

This week Daniel talks from the scriptures about how we order our homes and lay down our rights together before the Lord.

This week we're joined by Joel, who shares from 1 Chronicles 29 on a righteous revolution brewing among the people of God. 

We explore in Mark 8 how God's righteousness begins to rest and settle on us.

This week James takes us through what it looks like when God's great power goes beyond our borders.

This week we talk about how Jesus met people who were bewildered at their lack of power to resist the evil around them - and we see how those who hunger for God through fasting can begin to see the light of the world increase around them.

This week, we continue to look through stories of deliverance in the gospels, and that a word spoken with the authority of Jesus can set people free. 

This week we step into the joy of new faith and new life, as we celebrate baptisms in the community! 

This week, we continue looking at Jesus' work of delivering people and setting them free from oppression, in the gospel of Mark.

This week we look at Jesus' work of freeing others and delivering them from oppression in the gospel of Mark. 

As we continue into the gospel of Mark, we hear how God is making everything new and inviting us beyond our traditions.

As we continue through the stories in the gospel of Mark, we discover that God is not trying to build His kingdom - it is already established, and it cannot be moved.

This week we dive into Jesus' invitation into more, as we journey further through Mark 6.

This week we delve into the invitation of Jesus into the impossible across all our lives and in our workplaces.

When we embrace old attitudes we breathe life into them, and those things, which Christ has put to death, have power in our lives. That is why we must fix our eyes on Christ. 

When we go through hard times, we want to be closer to Jesus, rather than closed to Jesus. 

By refusing the well-worn pathway of offense, by following the way of Jesus, something is formed in us that lasts and lives. Something that is not from this world and goes beyond this world. This is an everlasting way of righteousness shaping us.

The place of outpouring and the place of offense contend for the same place in our hearts. 

Today we explore the question, do we want to live as someone who is right, or as someone who is rewarded? We want to be a people who don't miss the reward of satisfying God's heart.

If Jesus, the Son of God, was such a man of prayer, how can we live a victorious life or even get by without being a people of prayer?

In the kingdom, an enemy is always the sign of new territory - and uncommon warfare is the sign of a new mind.

As Alan leads us into week two on our series Preparing For Increase, we learn that if we keep thinking what we've been thinking, we won't be able to perceive who God is calling us to be.

When God is introducing us to a new dimension of purpose, He tells us to prepare. He does not tell us this in vain.

This week we are joined by Banning Liebscher, who shares on what it looks like to live a life of preparing for what God will pour out. Many times the level of outpouring in our lives is determined by our level of preparation.

This week we gather and read from Ezekiel, and hear stories of how God has been moving in and through our missions this year!

This year, we gather to encounter the risen King, but we also long to bring the pain and rejection of our lives to meet with His overcoming, overflowing hope. 

Praise is the sound of weakness becoming strength. When God is renewing a peoples' strength, He renews their praise.

This week, Jeremy brings a message on the invitation and urgency to us to become people of praise in our individual lives of worship.

Today Alan continues exploring what it means to have an expanding faith, and the truth that God's presence remains where people respond.

Jesus is inviting us today to protect the seed of faith until it comes into fulness. There is an atmosphere where faith grows and is cultivated, strengthened, and grown, and it is our responsibility to position our hearts in faith.

We are excited to dive back into God's Word together this week! This week we are stretching our thinking and understanding, to discover how our faith can go beyond imagination into exploration.

When hope is being established in a region, hopelessness must be uprooted first. It only takes one person filled with hope to signal the change. That's why our dwelling place cannot only be a sheltered place, it must also be a sending place.

We continue to dive into stories of how God has moved in communities in the past, changing them for generations to come. James shares this week from the Hebrides revival, as we ask God to do it again, that we would walk into the rising waters of His movements on the earth today.

We continue our journey through the book of Joshua, as Alan shares on becoming people of unshakeable conviction in a world that is shaking.

Women who enter their full inheritance have courageous faith. Your life was made to be a sign of God’s Kingdom breaking in.
