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.
Holy Fervor
This week, Alan continues to explore the life of Josiah through 2 Chronicles 34. In this passage, we see a prophetic prototype for our time—a generation called to rise with conviction, clarity, and covenant. A generation rising with holy fervor to “burn the bones.” God is raising up reformers in the midst of darkness, those who are willing to tear down idols, purify worship, and prioritize God’s presence over platforms. This is the day of purifying, holiness, and deep devotion—not founded in anger, but in holy anguish and a longing for God’s presence.

Rising Generation
This week, Alan shares a message on the Rising Generation. Drawing from 2 Chronicles 34 and the story of King Josiah, we explore renewal, reverence, and radical devotion. Discover how God is raising up a new generation, driven by conviction and intimate authority, to bring about reformation and transformation in our world today.

Fresh Anointing
Through Numbers 23:19-24, Alan invites us to experience a fresh anointing. We are reminded again that what God’s promise is unfailing. For too long Church has far too tame in the things of the Spirit. Constantly playing it safe, constantly led by the thoughts of Man, by the ways of Man, by the deeds of Man, by the politics of Man, by the fear of man. God is releasing a generation of people who walk in the fear of the Lord and live in the power of the Holy Spirit where the shout of the King is among them and the anointing of the wild ox is upon them.

Raise Your Expectations
Joel shares with us today on how Cornelius’s encounter with God in Acts 10 resulted in the lives of millions being given access to the gospel. What if we had the same kingdom expectation as we approach the living God in our everyday?
10/1/2024 • 40 minutes, 43 seconds
Holiness
This week, Alan shares on the transformative power of the fear of the Lord. True reverence fosters deeper intimacy with God which encourages us to pursue holiness. An invitation to embrace a lifestyle set apart for Him, living in joy and living in awe of His presence.
9/23/2024 • 59 minutes, 46 seconds
Returning to Reverence
This week, Alan shares about the transformative power of the fear of the Lord. A call to return to holiness, reverence, repentance, and divine intimacy. Alan shares on how living in awe of God's majesty unlocks unprecedented fullness, blessing, and renewal in our lives. As we reject both legalism and liberalism, we open ourselves to the wild, vibrant goodness and holiness of God.
9/16/2024 • 1 hour, 1 minute, 35 seconds
Reverence
This week, we explore the powerful changes that happen when God draws near. Drawing from Jeremiah 9:23-24, Psalms 130:4, and Malachi 3:16-17, we see how God’s mercy and righteousness stir reverence in His people. Through forgiveness and refinement, He calls us to honor Him, purifying our hearts and actions. When we live in awe of Him, God responds with blessing, renewal, and restoration.
9/9/2024 • 1 hour, 1 minute, 35 seconds
Righteous
Today, Alan continues our series on “Mercy Triumphs”. When God draws near, darkness collides with righteousness, sparking a movement of worship and reverence. His Word restores, His judgments bring justice, and His mercy triumphs. As we seek Him, He rains righteousness upon us, leading us deeper into worship and transforming our hearts.
9/3/2024 • 1 hour, 37 seconds
Mercy Triumphs | Alan Scott
In our message today, Alan encourages us that God’s mercy always triumphs. Through Psalm 103, we are reminded that “The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love.” In His dealings with us, God always puts His mercy on display and His Divine longing is to display His mercy in and through our lives. We are called to be a people who understand, walk in and worship God for both His kindness and His righteousness.

Get Ready For The Deluge
This week, Kathryn shares an encouraging message from 2 Kings 3 and Psalm 126. The Lord is saying, look over the dry places - the places empty but ready - the places pregnant with promise, yet still dry. The voice of the One who called us into the desert, is the same voice speaking now - over the dry valley of the things we’ve been crying out to Him to move in. And He is saying, “this dry valley will be filled with pools of water. It’s not going to come the way you’ve seen it come before - don’t look to the same old places. Don’t look to the sky, don’t wait for the wind to change, don’t be discouraged by the blue above you, by cloudless, windless skies. This isn’t coming in on the wind, AND this isn’t a downpour borrowed from another place. This is coming - this water, this refreshing, this source of life that we so desperately need is coming by the hand of the Lord Almighty!! And why? Because HE HAS SPOKEN. And when HE speaks, everything changes. Get ready for the deluge!
8/19/2024 • 37 minutes, 52 seconds
Hallelujah
In our final part of the ‘Beloved in the midst of battle’ series, Alan encourages us through Psalm 149. We see the ones who remain in his love, rejoice in being honored. There is an invitation to sing for joy from the place of rest. And as we release the sound of joy in His love, it becomes the sound of judgement over His enemies. This can seem a little confusing to us. It can feel like a departure from intimacy. But intimacy is about giving ourselves fully to Him and His ways. There is an intimacy within praise and there is a beauty in the judgements of God.
8/12/2024 • 39 minutes, 38 seconds
Beloved in the Heat of Battle
We are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. We will come through the struggle. But it’s really not a win to come through our personal struggle devoid of tenderness and increased intimacy with the Father. The good fight is to bring him a loving heart conquered by love. The good fight is for tenderness in the thick of darkness. It is the fight for softness of heart when the love of most grows cold and weariness and numbness threaten to take hold. And to all His conquerors, he invites to become more than conquerors. His beloved lovers resting in Him.
8/5/2024 • 43 minutes, 15 seconds
Anchored as the Beloved
Today, Alan continues our conversation on the “Beloved in the midst of Battle”. We are beloved. When we live knowing this and no longer as orphans we no longer need to protect ourselves. We no longer need to prove our spirituality, our authority or our identity. We no longer need to promote ourselves. Those wrestles that are so constant in our hearts turn into resting in love and wrestling for the sake of others. We are the beloved and we have learned to rest.
7/29/2024 • 42 minutes, 16 seconds
Beloved in the midst of Battle.
Alan opens up a new conversation today: Beloved in the midst of Battle. We never cease being beloved. We never cease being in battle. Being beloved doesn’t protect us from battle, it prepares us for battle. We are to live as the beloved in the midst of battle. When the battle is raging, we can discover that in ALL these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loves us.
7/22/2024 • 40 minutes, 11 seconds
Step Into What Is Next
James encourages us today through Acts 18 where Paul discovered that just next door, God was moving. Breakthrough was right next to Paul even though it didn’t feel like it. But to get next door, he had to have next level thinking, he had to take a next step, and he entered what was next. Not so that he could escape what was happening around him but so he could enter into what God was doing around Him.
7/15/2024 • 39 minutes, 15 seconds
Power and Persecution
Joel takes us on a journey through Acts 3 and 4 as the early believers live out the Kingdom in their everyday. Despite ongoing persecution, the power of God was displayed. God continually showed His goodness in the midst of the darkness and that is available for us today.
7/8/2024 • 48 minutes, 15 seconds
The Fight for Joy
Through Isaiah 53:1-4, Alan shares some keys on how do you begin the fight for joy when all you have known is emptiness not fulness? There is a sound of joy rising from your lips and from your life that shatters the works of the enemy and raises people around you into life. It’s the sound of your breakthrough, the sound of your enlargement, the sound of increase.
7/1/2024 • 29 minutes, 56 seconds
Joy On Repeat
Today, Kathryn wraps up our series on Joy. How do we take joy and make it the steady song at the top of our hearts, the persistent prayer on the tip of our tongues, the deliberate direction of the steps of our feet? We must choose connection, choose what we consume, choose contentment and choose compassion. As we do, we can put joy on repeat.
6/24/2024 • 33 minutes, 22 seconds
Joy For The Journey
Kathryn continues our series this morning by looking at joy for the journey. Stand firm in joy that safeguards you from the things that would rob you of your future. Stand firm in joy that surpasses every other treasure as it sharpens your focus on Jesus. Stand firm in joy that sustains in the middle of the worst suffering and the most difficult circumstances. Stand firm in joy that spurs you on until the glorious day of the Lord’s returning.
6/17/2024 • 33 minutes, 53 seconds
Establishing a Stronghold of Joy
Today, Kathryn continues our summer series on joy. How do we lock in joy so that it becomes established in our lives? If we want to be strengthened by joy in our relationships, we must cut out comparison, control, complaint and cynicism. We must co-labor with those who live beyond themselves.
6/10/2024 • 35 minutes, 24 seconds
Strengthened by Joy
Kathryn kicks off our new summer series and invites us to be strengthened by joy through the book of Philippians. The keys in being strengthened by joy is to enjoy God’s presence, to expect God’s goodness, to embrace God’s process for our life and to enter God’s purpose for our life.
6/3/2024 • 53 minutes, 48 seconds
Mature Expression of Hope
Alan invites us into a Mature expression of hope. It has to do with fulness and inheritance, not simply freedom and deliverance. Many believers settle for what God has done for them and miss what he wants to do through them for others. He wants to move you from deliverance to inheritance. Not just freedom from your past, but fulness of His promise.
5/27/2024 • 59 minutes, 15 seconds
Experiencing God‘s Favor
This Pentecost Sunday, Alan invites us to experience divine favor. Divine favor is unending in your life, unfolding in your situation, unlocking your future, unleashed in His time and leads you to unprecedented opportunity.
5/20/2024 • 44 minutes, 10 seconds
Bringing your Future Home
Restoration is not about bringing your past back, restoration is about bringing your future home. Alan encourages us today to take hold of the life to which we have been called. We need to take hold of the promises of God for our future and arise and begin to pursue them.
5/13/2024 • 47 minutes, 6 seconds
Your Restoration Starts Now
Alan shares with us through a defining moment in David’s life that your darkest day can be the day where restoration begins. For restoration to begin, you have to recognize what you have lost, you have to fight for what is yours and you have to see what’s at stake. If you give up on the small things today you lose out on the great things of tomorrow.
5/6/2024 • 52 minutes, 23 seconds
Knowing the God of Breakthrough
As we step into our Go Pray Week, Alan reminds us that David knew what it was to enter into the presence of God in intimacy and to come out before the Lord with initiative. He understood prayer as beholding God’s beauty but David also understood the power of prevailing prayer. There is a fresh invitation available to know the God of breakthrough.

3/4/2024 • 35 minutes, 18 seconds
No good thing does He withhold
Through Psalm 84:11-12, Alan encourages us that God does not withhold no good thing. A good thing is not withheld, but it can be held up. If it’s held up, it’s stored up. If it’s stored up, it’s getting poured out. When it’s poured out, it is an outpouring.
2/26/2024 • 39 minutes, 31 seconds
Operating System of Glory
Your operating system opens or closes your world. Alan highlights how there are three operating systems we see in scripture. Immorality, Morality and Glory. The church of the Living God did not begin with rules; it begins with baptism and is sustained through baptism not behaviour, Glory not morality.
2/19/2024 • 54 minutes, 54 seconds
New dimension of His glory
Speaking from Isaiah 6, Alan shows us that seeing the Lord turns our existence upside down, transitioning us from a moral people to pursuers of His glory. There is an invitation to discover a new dimension of His glory.
2/12/2024 • 28 minutes, 26 seconds
He Remembers His Covenant

2/5/2024 • 34 minutes, 10 seconds
Tremble at His Word
In this message, Alan underscores the vital importance of being a people who don’t just read God’s word, but tremble when they hear it. God is gathering this kind of people for His glory.
1/29/2024 • 46 minutes, 15 seconds
Prisoners of Hope
Through Zechariah 9:11-12, Alan shares how through covenant, we have been freed as prisoners of the pit to now being prisoners of hope. Restoration and Resurrection is available through Him.
1/22/2024 • 35 minutes, 32 seconds
A Revived Spirit
