Mark Hankins | October 17, 2021

Recap:
What a weekend we had with guest minister Mark Hankins! We sang, we listened, and we learned about the power of the blood of Jesus. The precious blood of Jesus protects, redeems, and heals us in our body, soul, and spirit. We are redeemed through the blood—and we can take that truth by faith! We are restored unto fellowship with God. So never give up on yourself. God is on your side and in covenant with you. Plead the blood of Jesus over your family and know the power available through Jesus’ blood.

Dive Deeper:
We have been redeemed to a new way of living because of the precious blood of Jesus. The more we remember this truth, the more it will become a reality in our hearts, and the more we will proclaim in our lives.

There is power in our blood covenant with God Almighty. In fact, instead of saying that we are praying, guest minister Mark Hankins reminded us that we can say, “I am meeting with God. He is extremely powerful, knows everything, and really likes me a lot!” We can pray and meet with God because of the blood of Jesus.

Our job is to apply the blood. We can take the covenant that God has given us and apply the blood of Jesus over our life and our family’s lives. In the Old Testament, the blood of Jesus was applied to the mercy seat. Today, the mercy seat is anywhere the blood of Jesus is applied! God communes with us at the mercy seat.

Remember, God lives in constant view of the blood of Jesus. Have faith in the fact that the blood of Jesus protects, delivers, heals, and restores us to our Heavenly Father. Rest your case on the powerful, wonderful, precious blood of Jesus.

Hebrews 13:20-21 KJV
Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Hebrews 10:22 KJV
Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.

1 Peter 1:2 KJV
Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.

Psalm 89:28-36 KJV
My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him. His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven. If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments; if they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments; then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes. Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail. My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips. Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David. His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me.

Romans 3:25 KJV
Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

Romans 3:25 Amp.
Whom God put forward [before the eyes of all] as a mercy seat and propitiation by His blood [the cleansing and life-giving sacrifice of atonement and reconciliation, to be received] through faith. This was to show God’s righteousness, because in His divine forbearance He had passed over and ignored former sins without punishment.

Discussion Questions:
1. How does the sacrifice of Jesus pave the way for us to meet with God?
2. Why is Jesus’ blood so powerful?
3. How does speaking about Jesus’ blood remind us of its power?
4. What does pleading the blood of Jesus do to the works of the enemy?

The Impossible Dream, #2: Fasting and Prayer | Mac Hammond

Jan 19, 2025

Pastor Mac gave the second installment of his series entitled, “The Impossible Dream.” He said, “Even though I say about every new series I teach that it is the most important message I’ve ever preached, when it comes to this message—for this day, at this time, and where we are right now—I truly believe that about this message. God has a dream for your life. And it’s not possible for you to achieve that dream without His partnership in your life.” That being said, what is God’s “Impossible Dream” for your life?

The Impossible Dream | Mac Hammond

Jan 12, 2025

Pastor Mac taught the first message in his new series entitled, “The Impossible Dream.” He said “the impossible dream” is a good message for the outset of a new year. However, it’s a good message for all to hear at any time during the year. He began the message by asking a rhetorical question: “Do your dreams fall only within the realm of logical possibility. Or do your dreams require the element of the miraculous in order to be realized?” He went on to explain how God-given dreams will always necessitate the supernatural power of God in order for them to be fulfilled.

GRACE UNVEILED, “Dominion of Grace” #25 | Jim Hammond

Jan 5, 2025

This past Sunday, Pastor Jim gave the 25th installment to his teaching series entitled, “Grace Unveiled.” In the past messages, we’ve been studying Romans 3, 4, 5, and 6. Before teaching on chapter 7, Pastor Jim wanted to break down these chapters again in a way we have not heard them before. He said, “You’re going to hear these chapters taught in a different way.” So far, we focused on the gift of righteousness. And we focused on justification. But there is a third subject that Pastor Jim wanted to focus on before we moved on to the next chapter.   

GRACE UNVEILED, #24, “The Dominion of Grace” | Jim Hammond

Dec 17, 2024

Pastor Jim was back and gave his 24th installment of his study on the book of Romans called “Unveiled Grace: The Dominion of Grace.” By now, the congregants that have been following Pastor Jim’s teaching on Romans should have a clear understanding of what justification is and what it means to the believer. There are many benefits to this justification. It’s a gift of New Testament righteousness. But this righteousness is something you must be established in. And fortunately, by the time this study on Romans has been completed, you absolutely will have been established in it. Because, as Pastor Jim said, “I’ve been hammering it and hammering it and hammering it!” 

How to Finish the Year Strong 1 | Mac Hammond

Dec 10, 2024

Pastor Mac gave a message entitled, “How to Finish the Year Strong.” We’re at the end of the year and many use this time as an occasion to pray about what the Lord would have them do in the coming year…to set their sail in Christ, so to speak. They want the Lord to help them identify the marks they are to press toward in order to finish their race. To that end, Pastor Mac spoke to us about “finishing strong.”
