Why do so many voices online attack biblical prosperity, and what does real partnership in ministry actually look like?
Pastor Dale kicks off a five-part November series with an honest answer, and a bold one: partnership is not about making the pastor rich.
Atlin Family Church is marking a little over two years of ministry by dedicating every Sunday in November to its partners. Pastor Dale says this is a subject he had never taught in full until God directed him to it this week.
The month is both a thank-you to the people who give, pray and serve, and an introduction to the ministry for anyone who has just found the channel. There is no pressure to give. He invites you to watch all five videos, pray, and then decide.
You'll discover:
Why partnership is different from membership, and why Pastor Dale says it is not a "hoops to jump through" system
The three marks of biblical partnership: shared vision, mutual responsibility and a reciprocal relationship
What Paul's words in Philippians 1:3-5 reveal about believers who are active co-laborers, not pew warmers
Why partnership goes beyond money to include prayer, gifts, time and connections, and why you can be a partner from anywhere in the world
A fresh look at Deuteronomy 8:18 and 3 John 2, plus a quote from Andrew Wommack: "Money isn't prosperity. Money is the byproduct of prosperity."
Pastor Dale also tackles the question of why some Christians seem blessed while others do not. He warns against judging God's word by looking at other people, and he explains why what you do after you give matters as much as the giving itself.
If you have ever bristled at the phrase "prosperity message," or wondered what it means to be more than a bystander in your church, this opening video sets the foundation for the rest of the series.
Part two covers what Atlin Family Church has accomplished with its partners and where the ministry is headed.
Perfect for current partners, curious newcomers, and anyone ready to examine what the Bible says about finances. Grab your coffee, tea or hot chocolate and settle in for a relaxed, no-pressure conversation.
