Armada guest speaker, Lavere Soper, clarifies who we are as born-again believers. We have the genetics and DNA of God and are a new species. Our old self dies, and we are baptized into death. We don’t try to change the “old man”, because he is dead. When our identity is mistaken, our mission is aborted. Focus on Jesus Christ.
The Reality of The New Creation

The Word and the Spirit Agree
Sunday May 18, 2008
Listen
Our bodies are a temple to house God’s Spirit in us. Since we walk by faith, it’s as if we’re with the Lord. We can walk and reap in a glorified body here, now. The Spirit and the Word agree. Pastor Dale cautions us to not be deceived by people who may start out with the Holy Spirit, but who get away from the Word and end in deception. (Col. 2:8, 15; Gal. 1:6-9; Eph. 4:14)

Apostolic Ministry Part 9
Sunday May 11, 2008
Listen
Churches aren’t necessarily started by pastors. Jesus was the only pastor in the Bible who started a church. God uses prophets, evangelists, teachers, and apostles. All believers need to stay in their anointing and their calling. We’re responsible for the apostolic anointing to other nations, which we carry in us.
Apostolic Ministry Part 8
Sunday May 11, 2008
Listen
We are accepted and loved by God, and we should accept one another. We need to let the anointing and love flow and use the gift that is in each person. We are apostolic people in an apostolic church.
Religious Spirits and Religious Moves
Sunday May 4, 2008
Listen
Pastor Dale shares his strong focus of tearing down religious spirits in Lancaster and the church body and getting the focus back on worshiping the living Christ. Even a move of God can be worshiped, instead of the Lord Jesus Christ. Dale uses Moses and the brass serpent scriptures to illustrate how something “good” can be worshiped.
Based On The Word
Sunday May 4, 2008
Listen
“Based on the Word” Our thoughts and ways are not always God’s thoughts and ways. Using Isaiah 55:8-11 and Luke 16:22-31 (the rich man and Lazarus), Pastor Dale encourages the listener to build on the Word of God and not on manifestations, experiences, and emotions. The Word is eternal. He addresses condemnation versus conviction.
The Faith That Makes Jesus Marvel
Sunday April 27, 2008
Listen
Listen to international Spanish healing evangelist, Epi, minister on the faith that liberates. God is always wanting to do miracles.
Deception Unveiled Part 3
Sunday April 20, 2008
Listen
How do we open the door to the devil? Should we talk to demonic spirits? Is it okay to add to what God has said? It didn’t work for Adam and Eve, and we shouldn’t be doing it, either. Don’t be deceived from the simplicity of the Gospel. Be single-minded. II Cor. 11:3.
Deception Unveiled Part 2
Sunday April 20, 2008
Listen
Pastor Bob defines deception and asks us to examine the deception in our lives. Listening to what Jesus said and says will help keep us out of deception.
Apostolic Ministry Part 7
Sunday April 13, 2008
Listen
We are to be witnesses (not to be confused with witnessing). That means we must have seen and experienced the power of God. In Acts 8:1-8 churches were planted because the believers scattered because of persecution. The believers were witnesses wherever they went. Mark 16 notes that signs would follow the believers, not the apostolic. You have to go out to the harvest field. “You don’t kill the enemy at the headquarters.” The second way churches are planted is by believers being sent out. The Church will grow if each believer reproduces himself or herself. We need to walk in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit.
Apostolic Ministry Part 6
Sunday April 13, 2008
Listen
The Church is the greatest tool of evangelism. Just like the man who leaves the ninety-nine sheep to find the lost one, the Church needs to be strong, so that the believers don’t fall away when the pastor goes after the lost one. The Church should keep strengthening the strong areas and give honor to the weak areas. The Church needs to build a good scriptural foundation, not a cultural one. What is the purpose of the ministry gifts? It is to equip the saints for the work of the ministry. (Ephesians 4:12)
Apostolic Ministry Part 5
Sunday April 6, 2008
Listen
Church’s foundation is the apostolic and prophetic ministries linked to Jesus Christ Himself (not His principles) as the Chief Cornerstone. Apostle Paul wouldn’t build on someone else’s ministry. We’re not called to do everything, and Satan can devalue a ministry by overloading it with needs. We’re not to tear up previous foundations, but we are to build on them. Elisha dropped the baton of anointing and took it to the grave. YOUR ANOINTING CAN TAKE YOU PLACES YOUR CHARACTER CAN’T K

Church’s foundation is the apostolic and prophetic ministries linked to Jesus Christ Himself (not His principles) as the Chief Cornerstone. Apostle Paul wouldn’t build on someone else’s ministry. We’re not called to do everything, and Satan can devalue a ministry by overloading it with needs. We’re not to tear up previous foundations, but we are to build on them. Elisha dropped the baton of anointing and took it to the grave. YOUR ANOINTING CAN TAKE YOU PLACES YOUR CHARACTER CAN’T KEEP YOU. Eph. 4:11-13 There are apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers today because we have not all come to the unity of the faith. Jesus is active in the Church now and so the apostolic and prophetic ministries need to be active, too. Jesus is the author, the continuous Church builder, Messiah, high priest, intercessor.
Deception Unveiled Part 1
Sunday March 30, 2008
Listen
Are you passionate for our Lord? Ephesians 6:10 tells us to be strong in His might and to stand against the wiles of the devil. God’s people can be deceived as shown in many scriptures in which we are told not to be deceived. Our purpose is to understand God’s way and to not be ambushed, deluded, snared, or seduced by Satan and his plans and schemes. Deuteronomy 11:16 exhorts us to take heed to ourselves, lest our hearts be deceived, turning to serve other gods. How can we not be deceived? Look unto Jesus, and remember you have the mind of Christ.
Don’t Worry About Tomorrow
Sunday March 30, 2008
Listen
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.
Our Share In The Resurrection
Sunday March 23, 2008
Listen
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
Sunday March 16, 2008
Listen
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
Sunday March 16, 2008
Listen
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
Sunday March 9, 2008
Listen
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.
