Revelation Revealed | The Throne Room of God and the Trumpet Judgments, #14 | Pastor Jim Hammond

When the apostle John was taken up into the throne room of God, he had a glorious view of what the throne room looked like. This past weekend, Pastor Jim expounded on the various elements of the throne room when he taught the 14th installment of his series, “Revelation Revealed.” Not only did we learn about the throne room, but we also learned about the seven trumpet judgments during tribulation. To learn more about Pastor Jim’s teaching, visit the web page linked below.

Dive Deeper

Revelation chapter eight begins with finishing the opening of the seventh seal, which was silence in heaven for one-half hour… the elders aren’t talking… the angels aren’t singing. Complete silence for 30 minutes.

After the 30-minute silence, seven angels step before God. Pastor Jim talked about the various opinions there are about the identity of the seven angels.

Another angel came forward, who was not one of the seven trumpet angels, who had a golden censor filled with incense and the prayers of the saints. He offered it on the golden altar in heaven.

Pastor Jim talked about how the throne room in heaven was replicated in the temple on earth. There were two altars in the temple on earth: the brazen altar and the golden altar. Each altar had a different purpose. The prayers of the saints were offered on the golden altar. He went over how all the elements in the throne room were a type and shadow of the sacrifice of Jesus.

Some estimate the trumpet judgments take place 2 to 2 ½ years into the tribulation. Pastor Jim then expounded on the first four trumpet judgments, followed by the three “woe” judgments.

He finished his message with an article by the American Medical Association which talked about the death of Jesus Christ on the cross, with the purpose of emphasizing the suffering Jesus endured while obtaining salvation for us. He said, “This is about… where will you go for eternity?”

The Gift of Righteousness or System of Truth | Mark Hankins

Oct 15, 2024

Mark Hankins, delivered a message entitled, “The Gift of Righteousness or System of Truth.” He explained that everywhere the Apostle Paul preached and in all of his letters to the churches, Paul consistently taught a “form of doctrine.” The Weymouth translation called it a “system of truth.” This system of truth was designed to create champions, those who would reign in life like a king! 

Bringing Your Flow to the Corporate Anointing | James Tan

Oct 6, 2024

we were blessed to have as our special guest minister, Dr. James Tan. He used Hebrews 5:14 as his text: “But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.” He cautioned that there were far too many believers who have never grown up and are still drinking milk when they should be eating solid food. A mature believer is someone who is able to discern the manifestations of Holy Spirit and the anointing. Dr. James went on to teach that there are primarily three manifestations of the anointing. 

Thy Kingdom Come, #4 | Mac Hammond

Oct 1, 2024

Pastor Mac was back this past weekend! He continued his series, “Thy Kingdom Come.” His text was out of Hebrews 12:26, “Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.” He reminded us that things are going to get shaken… not only on earth but in the unseen realm in the heavenlies! How you respond to the shaking will determine your quality of life. You’ll either be removed or transformed. Which one will be your future?

GRACE UNVEILED, #23: “Depriving the Power of Sin” Jim Hammond

Sep 22, 2024

Pastor Jim taught the 23rd installment of his teaching series on the book of Romans entitled, “Grace Unveiled.” In this message, he taught how, through the salvation process, the spirit of a person comes alive, or is “born again.” The Bible says he becomes a “new creature in Christ.” And because he is a new creature, Paul teaches us in Romans chapter six, that he now has the ability to deprive sin of its power over him. He has the power to resist sin. And that’s good news!

Covenant and Chesed | Billye Brim

Sep 15, 2024

we had our long-time friend of the ministry, Dr. Billye Brim, as our guest minister. She taught us about covenant and a very special word tied to it—chesed! God is a covenant-keeping God and He wants to enter covenant with us. She reminded us that He has a glorious plan for all His children. Because He is a covenant-keeping God, He will honor His plan for our lives as long as we honor and live under His demands for our lives.
