A Symbol and a Source of God’s Blessing | Dennis Burke

This past weekend, Living Word’s Guest Minister Dennis Burke taught a message entitled, “A Symbol and a Source of God’s Blessing.” He shared that it is understood that as members of the body of Christ, we have a clear sense that we are living in the last days. And even if these are not the last of the last days, we understand that these are our personal last days. So we must treat this time with a sense of commitment and a sense of design from the Spirit of God for our lives to make an impact, to make a difference. In fact, that’s what we’ve been designed for!

World Harvest | Pastor Lynne Hammond

This past weekend, Pastor Lynne shared her excitement about church planting and about world harvest. Sadly, most Christians never even think about world harvest. She pointed out that world harvest was the very first prayer assignment Jesus ever gave His people. It says in Matthew chapter 9 that when Jesus saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them. He turned to His disciples and said, “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.” We are to pray that God would send out laborers into His harvest. World harvest… that is the first prayer assignment Jesus gave to the church. Pastor Lynne went on to talk about the 10/40 window, what it is and how we can pray about it.

Welcome, Holy Spirit, Pt. 3 | Jim Hammond

Last weekend, Pastor Jim gave his third installation of his series entitled, “Welcome, Holy Spirit.” He talked about how people say, “Jesus lives in your heart.” But, actually, Jesus presently sits at the right hand of the Father. It is the Holy Spirit that lives and dwells inside us. Pastor Jim brought a greater awareness to the fact that it is the Holy Spirit that daily guides and directs us. The book of Acts describes the acts of the apostles as they went forth into the world preaching salvation through Jesus, His sacrifice and resurrection. But Pastor Jim illuminated how there was an overwhelming number of scriptures in Acts where the Holy Spirit is mentioned, where the Holy Spirit directed and guided the apostles in everything they did. And it is still the Holy Spirit directing and guiding the body of Christ today!

Welcome, Holy Spirit, Pt. 2 | Jim Hammond

On the last Sunday of 2023, Pastor Jim presented his second installment of his series entitled, “Welcome, Holy Spirit.” He again used Acts 2:17–21 as his reference. He spoke about how in the last days, God is going to pour out His Spirit upon all flesh. That means that every man, woman, and child will be touched by the Holy Spirit. That hasn’t happened yet, but we know that it will. And we know that when God pours out His Spirit, not everyone will receive and accept Him. God created people to be free will beings and must make their own choices in life. But Pastor Jim pointed out that everyone that calls on the name of the Lord, will be saved.

Alpha and Omega: The Alpha Man 2 | Mac Hammond

This past weekend, Pastor Mac taught his second installment of his two-Sunday Christmas message entitled, “Alpha and Omega.” He reminded us Christmas messages are for the purpose of elevating our celebration of Christmas to the point where the celebration makes a difference in our lives. The things that you celebrate in your life are really the things that you’re giving permission to impact your life. And so it’s important that we understand what we’re celebrating at Christmas time. Jesus declared He is the Alpha and the Omega, meaning He is the beginning of life and the end of death. In the first message, Pastor Mac talked about how Jesus is our Omega Man, in that He destroyed death in the many forms it may take in our lives. In the second message, he talked about Jesus being our Alpha Man, the beginning of life.

Alpha and Omega: The Omega Man | Mac Hammond

Merry Christmas! Christmas is a celebration of the coming of God’s redemption during the darkest of times. And, of course, the light of His love and salvation is through the person of Jesus Christ. When Jesus came to earth, the whole world was under the heel of Roman oppression. The Lord chose to send our Savior into the world during a very dark time. This truth of the Savior coming in dark times can be applied to each of us individually. It demonstrates the universal truth that God will always penetrate the darkest days in your life… if you understand that’s His purpose and are receptive to Him. Thus began Pastor Mac’s two-part series entitled, “Alpha and Omega.”

The Tangible And Transferable Anointing 1 | Dr. James Tan

This past weekend, we were blessed to have guest minister James Tan for all our weekend services. James continued his teaching on the demonstrative side of the Holy Ghost and power. Those two terms—the Holy Ghost and power—always go together. If power is present, it’s the Holy Ghost. If the Holy Ghost is present, there is power. You will never have one without the other. But James taught us another aspect of the Holy Spirit… that, yes, the Holy Spirit works through us, but He also works in us.

For His Kingdom: Vision 2024, #5 Commitment | Mac Hammond

In Pastor Mac’s fifth installment of his series entitled, “For His Kingdom,” he talked about how commitment is the final step to the outworking of God’s will and blessing in your life. If you’re not committed to your part of the covenant you have with God, then He can’t perform His part of that covenant. It’s a two-way street! Each part makes a commitment to each other. Commitment must be taken seriously. And one of the things that will help you to be committed is passion… which was the subject of his message.

For His Kingdom: Vision 2024, #4  | Mac Hammond

Is there not a cause?

In his fourth installment of his “For His Kingdom” series, Pastor Mac reiterated the Vision goals for 2024. And then he asked those in the congregation and online to consider being involved in accomplishing the vision. He encouraged us to consider investing a portion of our lives either in the form of service or finance or prayer. Before they decided on whether they would be involved, he asked the congregants, “Is there not a cause for you to move outside your small circle of self-concern and begin addressing the needs of the world… people you’ve never met and places you’ve never been to? When you consider the price that our Lord paid on the cross for people to be saved… is there not a cause?”
