Positioned To Posses Your Inheritance
Dwelling Place Anaheim
As we start the new year, Alan speaks into a defining moment of realignment and preparation — a season where God is not calling us to strive harder, but to be repositioned under what He is already pouring out. Drawing from Obadiah 1:19 and the Psalms, this message reframes inheritance not as something we chase, but something we are positioned to receive. This teaching explores how every promise from God carries a repositioning — shifting us from survival into stewardship, from comparison into calling, and from old boundaries into new territories of responsibility and influence. As...

Governing Peace
Dwelling Place Anaheim
In Governing Peace, James reflects on the promise of peace at the heart of the Christmas story — not a shallow calm or seasonal feeling, but a peace that rules in the middle of disruption. Through the nativity, the words of Isaiah, and the life of Jesus, we are invited to see peace not as something we achieve, but as Someone we receive. This message reframes peace as the loving government of Christ over our hearts, minds, and lives. From personal testimony to moments of Scripture where storms rage and fear rises, we discover that peace does not wait for circumstances to improve — it enters...

Faithful In The Valley
Dwelling Place Anaheim
In this Rising Generations Family Service, Daniel speaks to the beauty and complexity of family life — reminding us that God doesn’t wait for perfection before He moves. Through stories of children leading with faith, families stepping into obedience, and lives being formed in the midst of tension and challenge, we see how God meets us right where we are. Drawing from Psalm 84 and the image of the Valley of Baca, this message reframes the valleys we walk through — not as places to avoid, but as places where God forms resilience, faith, and courage. From moments of honest struggle to a...

The Gift of Peace
Dwelling Place Anaheim
As Advent begins, we remember the stunning arrival of Jesus. In this week’s message, Joel invites us to unwrap a gift often overlooked yet desperately needed: the gift of peace. Peace was not a last-minute addition to Christmas. The prophets promised it, heaven proclaimed it, and Jesus Himself embodied it. But this peace is not the absence of problems—it’s the presence of a Person. It’s a peace that doesn’t crumble when life is confusing, painful, or uncertain. It’s a peace not as the world gives, but as Jesus gives—indestructible, unending, and anchored in Him. Joel leads us...

Blessed are those who are Persecuted.
Dwelling Place Anaheim
What do you do when you’re misrepresented, insulted, or spoken about unfairly? Jesus calls moments like these blessed—not because they feel good, but because they form us. Persecution isn’t a sign that something has gone wrong; it’s often proof that God is doing something right. In this final week of our Good News for Broken Hearts series, Alan helps us see that every assignment attracts adversaries as we sit under the text. Bitterness shrinks the heart. Love enlarges it. When we pray instead of react, when we stay patient instead of demanding, God uses what hurts to shape what lasts....

Transforming The Future
Dwelling Place Anaheim
This week on The Way of Compassion—our final week in this series—we step into a bigger vision of what God is building among us: a future where mercy doesn’t stay momentary, but becomes multiplied. Isaiah 32 reminds us that “generous people plan to do what is generous — and they stand firm in their generosity.” That’s the posture of this House: standing firm as compassion rises. For years we’ve met the need. But now God is inviting us deeper — from meeting needs to hosting His Presence, from seeing the poor as projects to walking with them as partners, from mercy in emergency...

Building a House of Compassion
Dwelling Place Anaheim
This week we continue our journey along The Way of Compassion — stepping deeper into what it means not just to feel compassion, but to build a House of Compassion. Compassion is more than a moment; it’s a home. More than a theory; it’s our daily story. It’s written in every pantry line, every prayer, every volunteer who shows up before dawn and stays long after the last guest leaves. Last week we said compassion begins with people, not programs. This week, we step into what that means: We build together. Because compassion without structure burns out. Structure...

An invitation for anyone feeling weary, anxious, or overwhelmed, Governing Peace reminds us that true peace is found not in control, escape, or resolution, but in surrendering to the Prince of Peace and allowing His reign to grow within us.
