  1. The Sacrament of Marriage

    5D AGO

    The Sacrament of Marriage

    This final message to the series we learn what transforms a marriage from a mere legal contract into something truly sacred? In a powerful message on holy matrimony, Dr. Dale shares profound insights from his own 58-year marriage journey with Evelyn, revealing that lasting love requires more than romance or a marriage license—it needs God at its center.  Drawing from Isaiah 40:31's imagery of soaring eagles, running without weariness, and walking without fainting, he illustrates how successful marriages evolve through different life phases while maintaining their sacred bond. Pastor Dale emphasizes that couples who actively practice their faith experience dramatically lower divorce rates—just 1 in 52 compared to nearly 50% in the general population.   The sermon concludes with a moving challenge: pursue a holy dream together that's bigger than yourselves, keep that dream alive through every season, and, as Ruth Graham beautifully wrote, walk "into the setting sun, still loving and together." Don't settle for less than holy matrimony—make God the third strand in your marriage cord, for "a threefold cord is not quickly broken" (Ecclesiastes 4:12).

    The Sacrament of Baptism

    Have you ever wondered what makes water baptism more than just a religious ritual? In a powerful exploration of this sacred practice, Dr. Dale unveils how baptism serves as a profound covenant seal between believers and God—much like circumcision was for the Jewish people.  Through engaging biblical insights and personal stories, including his own 58-year marriage journey, he reveals that true baptism isn't about magical formulas or proving worthiness, but about publicly declaring our choice to follow Jesus. Whether you're seeking understanding or considering baptism yourself, this message illuminates the beautiful simplicity of believer's baptism as our testimony of faith in Christ.  Don't miss this transformative teaching that could reshape your view of this holy sacrament.

  4. The Sacrament of Tithing

    The Sacrament of Tithing

    What makes ordinary money transform into something sacred? In a powerful exploration of the Sacrament of Tithing, Dr. Dale unveils the profound connection between the Battle of Jericho and our modern understanding of tithes. Drawing from the ancient Hebrew word "kerem" - meaning untouchable or forbidden - he illuminates how the first fruits of war at Jericho were exclusively dedicated to God's treasury, just as our tithes are set apart today.  Through a compelling parallel to marriage, Dr. Dale Yerton illustrates how tithing represents a sacred covenant of trust and dedication between God and His people. Just as a marriage relationship is exclusive and untouchable by others, our tithes become holy when we recognize them as belonging solely to God. The consequences of violating this sacred trust, as seen in Achan's story, remind us that our faithfulness in managing God's resources directly impacts our ability to receive true riches - those blessings that money cannot buy.  Dr. Dale challenges us to examine our hearts and choose today: Will we honor what God has declared holy by faithfully bringing our tithes into His storehouse?

  5. More Than Enough: Why I Tithe

    More Than Enough: Why I Tithe

    What if the key to financial freedom isn't about getting more, but surrendering what we already have? In a powerful message, Pastor Vince unpacks the transformative practice of tithing, presenting it not as a religious obligation, but as a profound act of trust and alignment with God's principles. Drawing from both Old and New Testament scriptures, including Genesis 28:22 and Matthew 23:23, he presents six compelling reasons why tithing remains relevant for modern Christians - from putting God first to connecting the temporary with the eternal. Pastor Vince's fresh perspective cuts through common misconceptions, emphasizing that tithing isn't about earning God's favor or manipulating divine blessings; rather, it's about breaking the cycle of fear and building authentic faith. He challenges the congregation to move beyond viewing tithing as mere financial management, presenting it as a practical expression of trust that transforms not just our wallets, but our entire relationship with God.  As the church prepares to explore the Sacraments in upcoming services, Pastor Vince leaves his audience with a powerful truth: we don't give to get - we give because God has already given everything. The time has come to stop treating God as an afterthought and start putting Him first in every area of our lives, including our finances.

    More Than Enough: The Heart of Giving

    What happens when a church moves beyond mere obligation to joyful, Spirit-led generosity? Pastor Joe illuminates this transformative shift through his powerful examination of 2 Corinthians 9, where he masterfully weaves together the relationship between law and grace in Christian giving.  Drawing from Paul's letter to the Corinthians, he reveals how true generosity flows not from rigid rules but from a heart transformed by the Holy Spirit. Pastor Joe challenges common misconceptions about tithing, emphasizing that while it serves as a baseline, God calls us to a deeper level of cheerful, "hilarious" giving that springs from gratitude and trust.  Through vivid examples and scriptural insights, he shows how this kind of giving isn't about amounts but attitudes - it's about moving from "have to" to "want to."

    More Than Enough: Love Gives

    What does it truly mean to be wrong about money? In a thought-provoking message, Pastor Vince challenges our conventional wisdom about finances by exploring Jesus's surprising emphasis on money matters—speaking about it more frequently than faith and prayer combined.  Drawing from Matthew 6:21, he reveals that money isn't just about transactions; it's a mirror reflecting our hearts and priorities. Pastor Vince compassionately dismantles the notion that financial teaching is about guilt or pressure, instead presenting God's desire for our freedom and flourishing. Through practical steps like tracking expenses, establishing God-first giving habits, and replacing destructive financial patterns, he illuminates the path from economic bondage to biblical stewardship. The message resonates with a powerful truth: God doesn't want something from us—He wants something for us.  As the church embarks on this "More Than Enough" series, Pastor Vince issues an urgent call to move beyond mere survival to experiencing God's abundance through trust and disciplined stewardship, challenging everyone to take their first step toward financial freedom this week.
