In this message, Pastor Dale ministers on how God does not view “coming to church” in the same way as many believers do. Church attendance is not merely gathering corporately to sing songs or hear a message. Rather, God calls us to come together as the assembled Body of Christ, with each believer taking their rightful place, bringing their unique supply, and performing their ordained function within His Body for the benefit of all. In the natural, a limb cut off from the body cannot work correctly and will eventually shrivel away and die. Likewise, as the hands and feet of Jesus, we must be attached to His Body to function effectively and partake of the life that flows to us when we are assembled together as one.

In this message, Pastor Dale ministers on the necessity of believers not only KNOWING they are seated with Christ far above the powers of darkness, but of their STAYING seated. Jesus prepared a spiritual place for us in the heavenlies — a seat of authority. This seat is the only truly safe place for the believers, as it is the one position which the enemy cannot touch. However, in order for believers — and the Church as a whole — to stay seated in victory, we must resist Satan's attempts to draw our attention down toward earthly / fleshy concerns and circumstances. Stay mindful of your heavenly place in Christ and never leave your seat!

In this message, Dr. Grant Allbritten ministers on the significance of how and where we position ourselves in faith, in particular the importance of our being planted in the local church. In order for faith to be effective, it must be active. When we act in faith, God empowers our action. The local church serves as a gateway through which we receive all that God has for us as believers. Thus, by actively taking our place in the local church and positioning ourselves in faith, we can expect God to meet us there with His power and  provision.

In this message, Pastor Dale continues the emphasis of last week's sermon by delving deeper into the importance of born-again believers understanding, occupying, and maintaining their seat of spiritual authority - both individually and corporately. Christ did not build His Church merely as an institution for survival or as place for God's children to hunker down and wait passively for His return. No, the intention, purpose, and plan for Christ's Body (the Church) is to openly demonstrate His victory over ALL the powers of darkness by occupying, reigning, and ruling in this world now and in the ages to come.

In this message, Pastor Dale ministers on the importance of the Church receiving and cultivating the correct self-image of who and what she truly is. The Church is not a weak, fearful, or struggling people. We are the victorious, Blood-bought Body of Christ, raised and seated with Him in heavenly places to reign in life, enforce His triumph, and advance His kingdom on earth. In these last days, God is raising up local churches who will operate in the fullness and power of this revelation by occupying in the earth until Christ returns and keeping the kingdom of darkness in its place ...under our feet.

Session 2 of Word and Spirit Sunday with guest minister, Dr. Chris Cody.

9 AM session 1 of Word and Spirit Sunday with guest minister, Dr. Chris Cody.

In this message, Pastor Dale discusses the supernatural protection provided to believers who are connected to the local church to which they have been called and, in particular, the protection God provides to us through the office and jurisdiction of the pastor. God never called for us to be alone. Our connection to the local body acts as a safety net against doctrinal error, gives us the opportunity to partner in prayer with other like-minded believers, and provides an avenue through which God is able to release impartations into our lives through the laying on of hands by our shepherds. In order for believers to walk in the fullness of God's plan, the covering of the local church is essential, not optional.
