The story of Dwelling Place Anaheim has always been one of joining with the story of God, following where He leads and pursuing His presence. We are a community with a rich history in renewal and with a destiny to bring life to the city. Listen to our Sunday sermons here.
A New Obedience
Neil and Janet Young invite us into A New Obedience—a fresh responsiveness to the voice of God that prepares us to step into new territory. Through the story of Peter and Cornelius in Acts 10, they remind us that new territory often requires new instruction. Obedience is not simply repeating what God asked us to do before; it is listening for what the Master is saying today, even when it challenges what feels familiar, comfortable, or previously successful. This message calls us beyond an obedience built around rules, outcomes, or recognition and into a life of relational surrender. Whether God asks us to do something significant or seemingly small, obedience is not measured by our deliverables but by our devotion. As we learn to listen, trust, and follow again—even when we are misunderstood—we position ourselves to participate in the new things God desires to do in our lives, our church, and our city.

Sons and Daughters in Cambodia
This morning we hear from a Rising Generations high school team who have just returned from Cambodia. Sons and daughters being sent on mission—seeing salvation, seeing healing, seeing freedom, and watching people who have never heard the gospel encounter Jesus for the very first time. Their stories remind us of Acts 10, where God breaks down barriers, crosses cultures, and reveals that His heart is for every nation, every people, and every person. What we celebrate this morning is the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit—God opening doors, preparing hearts, and sending ordinary people to carry extraordinary news. The same God who moved in the house of Cornelius is still moving today, drawing the nations to Himself and inviting His sons and daughters to take part in His story.

Guest Speaker: Chris Abington
Chris Abington invites us into the simple, life-changing practice of hearing God's voice and responding with obedience. Through stories from family, business, city transformation, and everyday moments, Chris reminds us that God knows how to speak to each one of us because He made us. At the heart of the message are two simple questions: "Lord, what do You want me to know?" and "Lord, what do You want me to do?" As we learn to receive the Father's love, we begin to see Him rightly, ourselves rightly, and others rightly. This message is an invitation to reject comparison, embrace our God-given identity, and live with the confidence that we are His sheep who hear His voice. As we listen and obey, we discover that following Jesus is not complicated—it is a daily journey of receiving His love, walking in who He created us to be, and giving that love away to the world around us.

Days Of The Fathers
In Days of the Fathers, Alan follows Elijah's journey from the mountain of victory, to the tree of exhaustion, to the cave of encounter. Speaking on Father's Day, he names both the pain of fatherlessness and the loneliness carried by many fathers, inviting us to receive the restoring blessing of the Father. This message calls Dwelling Place to become a mature, fathering house: a people no longer driven by proving, striving, or chasing signs, but formed by God to raise sons and daughters. As the Spirit of Elijah turns hearts again, we are invited to come out of weariness and confusion into fresh anointing, fresh assignment, and a generational vision for what God is building.

Before The Sending
As we step into the summer season at Dwelling Place, we're looking to Acts 13 and the pattern of God's kingdom: before there is a sending, there is a forming. This month, a team of our high school students is preparing to head to Cambodia. Before they go, we take time to hear from four of them—Sam, Quentin, Jacob, and Caleb—as they share their hopes, prayers, and expectations for the journey ahead. More than that, each of them opens the Scriptures and shares what God has been speaking to them throughout this year. Their words remind us that God is not only moving in the next generation—He is speaking to them, shaping them, and speaking through them right now. Join us as we celebrate a rising generation, explore Acts 13 together, and hear stories of faith, growth, and surrender before the sending. Be encouraged by what God is doing in and through these young ones.

Summer In The Spirit
What if this summer became a season of making space for the Holy Spirit again?   In this message from Acts 2, James invites us to create fresh space in our schedules, homes, hearts, and ordinary rhythms. As the disciples waited and made room, heaven filled the house—and suddenly, everything changed.   This message explores the invitation of Pentecost: making space for His presence, becoming expectant for "and suddenly" moments, receiving a fresh sound as the Spirit restores our voice and song, and asking God for fresh sight to see what He is doing in us and around us.   A summer marked by His presence. A summer marked by connection. A summer marked by unexpected moments of encounter.

Get Ready For The Outpouring
What if the outpouring of God is not just something we wait for, but something we get ready to receive? This week in God Might, Kathryn speaks on Pentecost Sunday about Get Ready for the Outpouring — the promise of the Holy Spirit, the restoration of dreams, and the joy that comes when God fills His people again. Through Acts 2 and Psalm 126, we are reminded that when the Spirit is poured out, ordinary people are filled with power, barren places become fruitful, and the sound of joy becomes a sign to the nations. The disciples waited in obedience until the promise came. Then suddenly, heaven filled the room with wind and fire, and the world began to hear the wonders of God in their own language. Pentecost reminds us that God still pours out His Spirit, still awakens His people, and still turns waiting into witness. Psalm 126 declares that those who sow with tears will reap with songs of joy. The dry places are not the end of the story. God restores fortunes like streams in the Negev, turning desert ground into places of harvest, hope, and overflowing joy. Get Ready for the Outpouring is an invitation to dream again, seek the Lord, sow in faith, and position our hearts for the fresh rain of the Holy Spirit.
