Grace Unveiled, #22: Resurrection Magnification | Jim Hammond
 
Recap
 
Pastor Jim continued his series Grace Unveiled this past weekend. He continued in Romans chapter 6 and talked about what baptism is and the importance of recognizing that there is power available to us through Jesus’ resurrection. We are new creatures in Christ who can identify with the resurrection of Jesus. We don’t need to live by our old ways. We can magnify Jesus and all He is done for us. His grace makes us everything we can become today!
 
 
Dive Deeper
 
Who is the master in your life? Is it your sinful ways or is it Jesus?
 
A lot of people live condemned and stay focused on the old path they chose before Jesus. They don’t realize that when they chose to believe in Jesus, their old way of living immediately identifies with Jesus on the cross. They can put to death those defeating ways of life.
 
In order to reach a point in your life where your actions glorify God, it is important to consider all that Jesus has done for you, in particular, Jesus’ resurrection. Think about the mercy and grace exemplified in the crucifixion. Think about the power displayed in the resurrection. Think about the covenant that we entered into because of what Jesus did.
           
This is the basis of grace working in your life. Know that Jesus’ resurrection is a part of your life. As your thoughts go, so go you. Make Jesus big in your thought life and you’ll see Jesus become bigger in your life.
 
 
Read About It
 
Romans 6:1–7 KJV
 
1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
 
2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
 
3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
 
4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
 
5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
 
6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
 
7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.
 
 
 
 
Discussion Questions
 
Who do you identify more with: your life before Christ or your life after Christ?
How does God’s grace enable us to stop sinning?
What is one practical way we can look at and focus on Jesus’ resurrection in our lives?

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!

It is believing you are in faith when, in fact, you are not!
