For His Kingdom: Vision 2023, part #2 | Pastor Mac Hammond | October 29, 2022

Recap:
Vision sets the stage for where we will go in life. That’s why it’s important to set a vision for our individual lives and our life as a church family! That’s what Pastor Mac did this past weekend. He set the stage for where Living Word is going to go in 2023. Our outreach expansion will include our global church plants and expansion of The Winner’s Minute. Our in-reach opportunities will include taking care of our volunteers, taking care of those who tithe, a youth ministry remodel, and a revamped internship program. We are looking forward to this next year!

Dive Deeper:
Set a vision for where you want your life to go! It matters. It will take time and resources to accomplish your vision, so work hard and then wait patiently for it to come together. As you wait, expect that the vision God has given you will be accomplished. Keep your expectation connected to the vision and plan God has given you.

Living Word’s vision for 2023 starts with global church plants. We are excited to take the love of God beyond the four walls of the church and spread His love worldwide. We want to go into places that need Jesus, tell them about his great love, and then leave a church there, so the love of God can continue to shine on a daily basis. We want to plant beacons of hope throughout this world!

We also plan to capitalize on the growth of The Winner’s Minute from this past year and expand its reach to go farther. As we do, we want to create a partnership with the audience of The Winner’s Minute, so we can invest more in them spiritually and then provide them with an opportunity to invest in the expansion of God’s kingdom as well.

Lastly, we are going to continue strengthening our in-reach ministry to our church family. We want to remodel our youth ministry, celebrate our volunteers and our tithing family, and then invest in the next generation through a revamped internship program.

We are excited about all God has planned for us in 2023!

Read About It:
Proverbs 29:18 KJV
Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.

Habakkuk 2:2 KJV
And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.

Matthew 28:19–20 NIV
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.

Discussion Questions:
1. Are you a member of our volunteer family?
2. Are you a part of our tithing family?
3. Why does tithing and volunteering matter within a church?
4. How does tithing and volunteering impact individuals?

The Principle of Connection | Mac Hammond

Apr 28, 2024

Pastor Mac taught a message entitled, “The Principle of Connection.” Oftentimes, we struggle with obedience to the Word, where our obedience to the Word is not done in faith but out of legalism. We don’t do it from our heart, but we do it out of obligation. However, as Pastor Mac pointed out, if the Word is going to work for you, it has to come from our heart. There is a remedy that puts an end to legalistic obedience: once you understand the principle behind a particular mandate, obedience to the Word becomes exciting. Pastor Mac goes on to discuss the Principle of Connection.

A Faith-Building Weekend With Nancy Dufresne

Apr 21, 2024

What a weekend we had with guest minister Nancy Dufresne. She shared on the power of faith and reminded us that God and the Holy Spirit should always remain our focus. That means when we face difficulty, listening to the Holy Spirit, our guide on the inside, is the best thing that we can do. You can walk in faith toward your miracle!

GRACE UNVEILED: “All Under Sin,” #7 | Jim Hammond

Apr 14, 2024

Pastor Jim delivered his seventh installment in his series on the book of Romans, entitled, “Grace Unveiled.” The first three chapters of Romans focuses explicitly on the definition of sin. “Because,” as Pastor Jim says, “if you don’t understand what sin is, you will not understand the solution to the sin problem.” Paul wanted them to understand that all of mankind has a sin problem, and no matter who you are, you will never, ever be able to achieve righteousness through your own merit. If doesn’t matter if you’re a secular pagan who worships Zeus or a religious Jew who strictly follows the law, God will never see you as righteous through your own effort. Pastor Jim has much more to say in this message subtitled, “All Under Sin.”

They Brought | Mac Hammond

Apr 7, 2024

Last Sunday, Pastor Mac taught a message entitled, “They Brought.” He said, “If you’re in a relationship with the Lord, you’re in a covenant with Him. And that covenant is one of blessing.” Yet, many covenant believers do not seem to walk in the level of blessing the Bible promises. Why is that? Pastor Mac said walking fully in the provision and purpose of God begins by understanding what the definition of a covenant actually is.

Focus for Effect #4: The Resurrection of Christ | Pastor Mac Hammond

Apr 1, 2024

What a wonderful Easter weekend we had as we celebrated Jesus! His resurrection is the focal point for our faith, for it bridges the gap between the seen realm and the unseen realm. As you go through your day today, remember that the resurrection power of Jesus has the ability to raise your circumstances high above anything you can imagine. The touch of death does not need to destroy your life! God’s resurrection power is at work in you and through you to touch this world for Him.
