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.

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?”

Finding Your Voice in Prayer | Ken Olson

Jul 6, 2025

Pastor Ken Olson shared with us a message on “Finding Your Voice in Prayer.” Noting that our nation’s Declaration of Independence declares that we, as citizens, have the right to pursue life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. He further added, “There’s nothing more empowering, more enabling to pursue life, liberty, and happiness and so many other things that God has planned for our lives than a pursuit of a lifelong relationship through prayer with our Heavenly Father.” Heaven isn’t just a place. Heaven is a divine flow!

Dr. James Tan | Power and Fire, Part 3

Jul 1, 2025

Dr. James Tan was our special guest speaker. He spoke about the supernatural power people receive when they experience the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Entitled, “Power and Fire,” Dr. James taught all three weekend services on the basic fundamental truths concerning a believer’s encounter with Holy Ghost power! He stressed how important it is for all believers to have their own personal encounters with God the Holy Ghost for themselves. “You can’t live off someone else’s testimony,” he said. “You have to get your own experiences about encountering the power of the Holy Spirit for yourself.”

GRACE UNVEILED, #37: Tongues: The Fire Is Still Burning | Jim Hammond

Jun 22, 2025

Have you ever been in a place in your life where you don’t know how to pray or what to pray… where you don’t have the words to express to God what you need from Him? It’s a place in which all born again believers have found themselves. This is the subject matter Pastor Jim taught us in his 37th installment of his ongoing series on the book of Romans—“Grace Unveiled.” It is the Holy Spirit that makes intercession for us with groanings that cannot be uttered in articulate language. About tongues, Pastor Jim said, “I do this for myself. You should pray in tongues for yourself. It’s a mistake not to!”

When Grace Sprinted | Jim Hammond

Jun 15, 2025

When Jesus walked the earth, one of His missions was to reveal the Father God’s love for us. And one of the ways He did that was through the telling of the Parable of the Prodigal Son. When teaching on this parable, most preachers focus all their attention on the Prodigal Son, and how he repented. However, the whole point of this parable is to reveal the Father’s love. Pastor Jim said, “This may be one of the most-preached messages in history. And I know you think you know what this parable is all about… Well, we shall see.”

Did you know, there are three “groans” in this chapter? In this message, we looked at the groan that all creation gives right before the end of the dispensation of grace. Folks, that’s right now!
