God provides for us! When we minister to God first, cast every care on Him, and humble ourselves, we can receive what we need. Through many scriptures, Pastor Dave encourages the believer to go to God for strength, whether we’re just tired, worried, or under attack. Listen to this sermon and find faith-building scriptures to get a faith-boost.
Don’t Worry About Tomorrow
Our Share In The Resurrection
Starting with Matthew 16:15-18, Pastor Dale preached the Resurrection Day sermon. Although Peter knew Jesus’ divinity, it has hidden from the people, so that He would be crucified and resurrected, providing salvation for all humanity. It offends Jesus when we are not willing to sacrifice for Him. Taking up our cross means our dying on it. Before Jesus’ resurrection, out of man’s heart came evil, but since the resurrection, we’ve been raised from the dead, meaning that now evil comes from the works of the flesh, according to Paul in Galatians 5:19. Our spirits are born again, but we still need to deal with the flesh and our minds.
True Worship
Jon Fike and the worship team led the congregation in praise and worship and teaching on it. Pat Denlinger taught us to be who God us to be as individuals and a congregation in worship, not holding back. Sandy Burkholder shared that she believes that the new song will one that we will hear with our spiritual ears. She said that the Lord has been speaking the word, Open, to her. Then Jon Fike taught about worshiping in spirit and truth. Pushing in means our being willing to sacrifice and to be corrected by His Spirit. Worship is our heart connecting with God’s heart.
Glue, Sticking Power for Lifelong Marriages
Paul and Patti Endrei are ministers on the topic of marriage. Paul taught on the levels of marriage and the triple cord (physical, soul, help mate) and the 5 pillars of marriage sticking points (practically, relationally, emotionally, sexually, and spiritually). Patti spoke on the role of women to encourage and be cheerleaders for their husbands and to marry their husband’s dreams. Paul then continued to teach on how husbands should relate to their wives. Did you know that the #1 enemy of marriage is anger? The final analysis is that our marriage should make us more Christ-like.
Apostolic Ministry Part 3
Pastor Dale teaches on grace for our lives. We will grow naturally, but grace isn’t enough and in order to increase we need discipline and pressure. Once Jesus was subject (continuously obedient and submitted) to His parents, (Luke 2:41-52) He increased in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and men. It’s premature for a person to launch out in ministry with just ability, knowledge of the person’s calling, and age. Increase means to make a road, to clear and cut a path. The pressure of submission helps us get out of ourselves, and then we can minister out of our strength, victory, and deliverance.
Shift of The Spirit and Believer’s Ministry
Pastor Bob delivered a message about the shift in CWI. Some of the shift includes: a firm foundation, restoring and replacing the weak, broken parts in people’s lives, bringing people back, a strong desire and passion in the purpose of ministry, a release of anointings on believers and stronger revelation, and a release of the apostolic anointing. He warns us to check for any cracks in our foundation (beliefs), to make sure our rock is Jesus Christ, to walk in obedience to the word given to us, and to LOOK TO JESUS! The higher the anointing, the more sin will be exposed. Ask yourself what you need to be cleansed from, and lay them down at the altar.
Apostolic Ministry Part 2
Texts: Eph. 2:18-22; Eph. 4:7-13; Romans 15:18-20; Matt. 23:37. Ephesians 4:20 states that we are built on the foundation of the apostles and the prophets, and Jesus Christ is the chief cornerstone. The foundation of the apostles and the prophets must be recognized. The purpose of the five-fold ministry (apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers) is to equip the saints for ministry and to bring the body to unity of faith and the knowledge of Jesus Christ.

Description of Faith
With Hebrews 11:1 as a starting point, Pastor Dale builds on the necessary foundation of faith. First comes hope, and then faith. Using the analogy of concrete being poured into a wooden form, he compared faith to the concrete being shaped by the wooden form (hope). We will have more faith the more we trust God and have a close relationship with Him. We will get tossed about, but we are to stand our ground, not waver, and not doubt in our hearts.
Apostolic Anointing
Pastor Bob exhorted the congregation to allow God’s power to break the strings of the past, religion, abuses, and experiences that have entangled us like the ball of string inside a baseball. He called upon Pastor and Apostle Dale to impart to those wanting to receive an apostolic anointing. It is harvest time, and time for the perfecting of the saints.
We Are Called To Be Kings
God has made us kings and priests, and we are to bring His kingdom to the territory He has given us. We are to influence our territory and the next generation with the Word. We are to train sons and daughters so they can inherit new lands. Karen (Pastor Dale’s interpreter from Ukraine) urges you to step into your destiny and go past your comfort zone. Discover and fulfill your calling.
Overcoming The World
The circumstances you’re dealing with are temporal, meaning they are subject to change. Find out how looking to Jesus and at the eternal can bring God’s promises to fruition in your life. You are made in God’s image, so call those things that be not as though they are.
Journey of Love-Valentines Day
Using his personal testimony of God’s grace in his life, Art shares on the unity of male and female and also the unity of the Body of Christ. God ministered to him when his first wife left him and gave him a second wife. His second wife died due to cancer, and again God restored joy by giving him a third wife to bring him unto unity with. His wife also shares how tragedy took her first husband and two children, but God brought her together with Art, the same man who had dedicated the only survivor, her third child, as a baby years before. Listen to this powerful testimony of God’s grace and desire for unity.
Confidence and Alignment
Tim completes “Confidence” and begins teaching on wealth. He encourages us to replace our limitations with possibilities and to build a “positive file”. Whenever a lie comes up in our thinking, we need to ask questions, such as “Does this line up with the Word?”, and ridicule the lies. Don’t act as if the lie has a lot of power and don’t fear failure. Confess and declare the Word of God and encourage others. Wealth is your response to challenges in your life. When we create rather than responding negatively, we can get to where God wants us. Serving others creates value and helps us get to our wealthy place. Seeking the kingdom of heaven is a place of abundance, so we can serve. Our purpose is to create wealth and to respond creatively. Just for thought: Money doesn’t ruin. It reveals what’s in a person’s heart.
Confidence
The world desperately needs us to be confident, so that we can take the Word to others in a way that they will want to receive from us. Tim Redmond expounds on how we can build our confidence (faith) through the Word and through teaching us about our subconscious mind, which needs to be renewed. He gives us three assignments: writing down 20 compliments we have received, 20 of our achievements, and our most deeply-heartfelt verses from the Bible and words spoken over us. Listen to get more details and inspiration.
Leadership Defined
Find out the role of relationships and creativity in developing you into the leader God means for you to be. Others are waiting for what you have to give and for you to release the greatness of God. As a leader you bring order to chaos, strength to weakness, and healing to brokenness.
The Grace of God
Are you caught in the web of works? Have you forgotten it’s by grace you have been saved? Pastor Dale uses his and Pastor Bob’s jackets to demonstrate that the sin, sickness, and lack are and were exchanged for God’s righteousness, healing, and riches. Jesus took what we had and gave what God has to give us, because Jesus Christ paid for them.
Don’t Give Up, Be Strong and Courageous
Using Joshua as the Biblical example, Christopher encourages us to never give up, but be strong and of good courage. We need to believe God and get out of the wilderness and possess what God has for us. Fulfill the Great Commission!
Now Faith
Pastor Bob moved throughout the service in the prophetic flow of the Holy Spirit, sharing words for different people. He continued to preach on “now faith”. He encourages us to get into the Word if we are experiencing unbelief in an area.
Enemy Called Average
We need to make sure we aren’t settling for average and normal, when God has so much more for us. Find out what straps us into “average” and limits us. What is keeping you down? After the message, Dominic moved in the Spirit in personal prophecy for everyone who came for ministry.
