Dwelling Place Anaheim

What happens when God's people begin to tell the stories of what He has done? In this special message, Proclaim His Excellencies, James invites us to see how every life transformed by His presence becomes a testimony of His goodness and glory. Through powerful stories from across our church family, we are reminded that our testimonies reveal His glory, strengthen His people, overcome the enemy, and awaken faith in others. His house is built to say something about Him, and every story has a part to play. This is an invitation to remember what God has done, celebrate what He is doing, and boldly proclaim His excellencies. My story, His glory.

What might change when we entrust our families to Jesus? In this message, Alan invites us to step back from trying to hold everything together and surrender our families to the One from whom every family derives its name. From our relationships with parents and siblings to our partners, children and wider family, we are invited to yield control and trust Him with those we love. Jesus is strong enough to hold our families and bring healing. This is an invitation to place them in His hands and say, "God, I know I can trust You."

What might God do through a life that keeps saying yes? In this message, Alan explores the vision of enduring obedience — the daily response of a heart that hears the voice of God and continues to follow. Our obedience puts His worth on display and carries divine significance beyond what we can see, reaching others and shaping an inheritance for generations to come. From the decisions that carry His vision to the consecration that connects others to His purposes, this is an invitation to lift our eyes beyond ourselves — a people whose love listens, responds and keeps saying yes.

What does it look like to love God with more than our songs?

In this message, Alan explores the aroma of obedience — the quiet, often unseen response of a life that hears the voice of God and says yes.

Jesus makes His home where He is welcomed, honored and obeyed, and the faithful house He is building is marked by a people whose love listens and responds.

From the pain of unsupported obedience to the promise that faithfulness never goes unrewarded, this is an invitation to become a house consumed with His honor — a people whose surrendered lives make sense of the songs that we sing.

What happens when we see Jesus for who He truly is? Reverence rises. Our own platforms and ambitions lose their hold, and we begin to stand in awe of Him.

Continuing our His House, His Presence series, Alan Scott calls us to recover a vision of God that stirs wonder, humility, and holy fear. Reverence is more than a feeling in a moment of worship. It shapes what we treasure, how we live, and the kind of house we are becoming together.

God is forming a people who value His honor above all else: a house attentive to His heart and ready to welcome His glory. As we behold Jesus, may the fear of the Lord return to His church, become our joy, and resound beyond our gatherings into our cities and the nations.

Mark and his wife, Amanda, are Lead Pastors of Experience Church, church planters, passionate people of prayer, and pioneers of Pray the Bay.

This week, Alan continues our His House, His Presence series with a call to take our place in the house God is building and behold the great King. We were never created to stand at a distance or simply observe what God is doing—we are living stones, invited to find our place, bring our praise, and become a people marked by His presence.

When we truly see the King for who He is, worship becomes our natural response. Our hearts awaken, our voices rise, and our whole lives begin to answer His greatness. This message invites us to let our sound rise, to move beyond passive or partial worship, and to give the King the response He is worthy of.

As we behold Him, may wonder rise again in His house. Take your place, lift your voice, and give the King your whole response.

This week, Sam explores a kingdom vision for work, calling, and vocation, reminding us that the work of our hands matters deeply to God. From the opening pages of Genesis to Bezalel, the hidden years of Jesus, and Paul's teaching in Colossians and Romans, Scripture reveals that work is not simply something we endure or a platform for ministry—it can become an offering of worship. Our primary calling is first to know and enjoy God, and from that place to faithfully steward what He has entrusted to us. Whether our work feels significant or ordinary, permanent or seasonal, God invites us to cultivate, create, serve, and bring flourishing wherever He has placed us. As we offer our everyday lives back to Jesus, work becomes avodah—work and worship intertwined. This message invites us to stop measuring calling by titles or status and instead ask, "What does faithfulness look like right here, right now?" trusting that our labor in the Lord is never in vain.

This week, Alan continues in Isaiah 35 and Isaiah 62 with a reminder for every anxious, weary, or waiting heart: "Behold, your Savior comes." God has not forgotten or forsaken His people; He comes as our restorer, deliverer, redeemer, and great rewarder, turning places of abandonment into amazement, grief into gladness, and wilderness into wonder. The wilderness may whisper that we are unseen and that the best days are behind us, but God declares that the dry land will rejoice and the desert will bloom. As we turn our eyes upon Jesus and behold His faithfulness, anxiety loses its hold and joy begins to overtake us. This message invites us to stop interpreting the wilderness as evidence of God's absence, to trust the hidden work He is establishing in us, and to believe that He is bringing redemption to our dry places, planting us in faithfulness, and releasing a fresh oil of gladness and joy.

This week, Alan shares from Isaiah 35 the promise spoken to anxious and fearful hearts: "Your God will come." In seasons of waiting, wilderness, uncertainty, and weariness, we are reminded that God comes as our restorer, mighty defender, faithful deliverer, healer, and redeemer. He brings beauty to barren places, strengthens weak hands, opens blind eyes, and overturns what the enemy has set against us. This message invites us to take courage, trust the faithfulness of Jesus rather than rise in our own defense, and believe that joy is stronger than fear—that the final mark over our lives will not be what we have come through, but who God has been to us.
