The purpose of this special Sunday was to encourage members to bring others to church to share with them the rich experience that church attendance has had on their lives. Pastor Mac started the service by sharing how he and his wife, Lynne, started Living Word some 42 years ago. He identified what kind of church Living Word is, a full Gospel, Charismatic Word of Faith Church. He then shared fascinating details about the decline of church attendance and how it can be correlated to the repeal of “blue laws.”

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.

This past weekend, Pastor Hammond taught on a subject that should interest every believer: setting your own personal vision. He talked about how to set vision as an individual and then how to set a vision for your family.

Pastor Jim first gave a review of what he taught in last week’s message which was the first four riders in Revelation chapter six. These riders have become known as the “four horses of the apocalypse.” The rider on the white horse being the figure of Antichrist coming forth. The rider on the red horse had the power to take peace from the earth. The rider on the black horse brought worldwide famine. The fourth rider on the pale horse comes forth and the rider is death and hell followed after him.

Pastor Jim focused on the first few verses of Revelation chapter 6. These verses tell of the beginning of the first seal judgments. He provided context for what the world could look like in this day, and more than anything, how reading of these judgments should make us more and more active in bringing other people into a relationship with Jesus.

Mary is a prototype of how God’s promise starts in our hearts and is birthed into this natural realm. The first step she took was saying, “Be it unto me according to Your will.” That’s a great place to start! That’s when we welcome God’s lordship into our lives.

Mary was expectant with the Son of God physically, but she also was a representation of how we can become expectant with the seed of God’s Word and bring forth God’s promises into this world.

Some of the demonic forces from the Old Testament have been allowed back into our society. What does this mean and what can we do about it? These were some of the questions that Pastor Jim answered this past Sunday.
