For His Kingdom, #2: Vision 2024 | Mac Hammond
 
Recap
 
Pastor Mac laid out the vision for this coming year, to reach the exciting goals God has set before us. Goals were set for our three entities: LWCC, the church; LWA, Living Word Academics; and LWI, Living Word International. Highlighted was our emphasis on the Lord’s command to “go into all the world and make disciples of all the nations,” which will be accomplished through global church planting.

2.    To create a “Connection Center” where people can connect over coffee and treats
3.    To rejuvenate the Discipleship Intern Program with a redesigned curriculum
4.    To continue the Winner’s Minute to compel people to check out Living Word
 
The vision for Living Word International (LWI) for 2024:
1.    To plant ten churches this coming year
2.    To raise up partners to generate a yearly budget to cover all of the infrastructure costs:

b.    To create a call center to respond to callers
3.    To purchase another plane, a Falcon 900
 
The vision for Living Word Academics (LWA): a five-year building program:
1.    To build a wing on the east end of our building to accommodate a second gymnasium and additional classroom spaces
2.    To create a ballfield on the west end, i.e. a stadium with a field that will accommodate our own football facilities, which can also be used for baseball and soccer
 
Read About It
 
Matthew 28:19–20, “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you.”
 
Mark 16:15–16, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.”
 
Discussion Questions
 
To accomplish all of our goals, we all need to roll up our sleeves and get busy. What area do you feel drawn toward?
 
Do you see yourself helping with overseas missions? If yes, in what way?

Praying Down the Rain, 2 | Jim Hammond

Sep 2, 2025

Pastor Jim gave some startling details, like how approximately 70% of the body of Christ—people who believe in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ—do not believe in a literal Rapture of the church! They believe in something far different than what the Bible actually says. Will these people make it to heaven?

Praying the Rain Down | Jim Hammond

Aug 26, 2025

Pastor Jim’s new teaching series began this past weekend, entitled, “Praying Down the Rain.” It was powerful! He delved into past revivals to examine whether there were certain things that triggered the move of God in the land. And he found them! Plus, you’ll get to hear a prophetic word about our very own state—Minnesota! If there is anyone out there that feels “ho-hum” on the subject of end time revival, this series will bring an end to that. Apathy will disappear!

Pastor Mac taught the wrap-up to his series entitled, “Strategies of Deceit,” with the subtitle being “Reprobate Faith.” A deadly strategy of deception, reprobate faith is something the enemy will use to bring the greatest possible deception to bear in your life. “What is the greatest deception?” you ask. It is believing you are in faith when, in fact, you are not!
