Angela Benjafield begins a new series, 'Tables of Transformation,' using the story of David and Mephibosheth to illustrate how the king's table models Jesus' invitation. The sermon highlights three transformations available at the king's table—acceptance, restoration (identity and inheritance), and relationship—and challenges listeners to identify and remove barriers that keep them from regularly feasting with Jesus. Practical encouragement focuses on choosing the table daily, receiving grace in brokenness, and relying on Jesus for fresh spiritual nourishment rather than stale or secondhand devotion.
“Become a new creature; let the old things pass away, behold, let all things be made new.”
A Bible-study style message on faith titled "Manifestation: Maintenance Leads to Manifestation." Speakers teach faith as a heart-and-mouth response to God's promises, using the centurion (Matthew 8) and the parable of the sower (Mark 4) to show how to obtain results by (1) finding a promise, (2) speaking the word, and (3) acting in faith. Practical maintenance—regular spiritual disciplines, removal of 'other things,' stewardship (giving), and taking authority in prayer—is emphasized as necessary for heavenly promises to produce earthly manifestation. The service includes offering exhortation, altar calls for salvation, rededication and church membership, and prayers for healing.
“Be in Christ, behold, he is a new creature. Old things are passed away, and behold, all things have become new.”
Pastor Jason McMullen exhorts the church to pursue holiness by removing even the smallest traces of sin (the "hint"), grounding the call in Ephesians 5 and other Scriptures. He stresses God's seriousness about sin, the higher standard for believers, and offers seven practical steps—prayer, relying on given tools (Word, Spirit, community), identifying habits/hang-ups/hindrances, confession and repentance, embracing grace, accepting consequences/accountability, and embracing freedom—to help Christians remove sinful patterns and host greater presence and breakthrough.
“If any man's in Christ, he's a new creature (Paul's statement about becoming new creatures in Christ).”
Pastor Chas Stephenson taught on the next major end-times event for the church: the rapture (the catching up of believers). He explained the biblical sequence (dead in Christ rise first; living believers are caught up), argued for a pre-tribulation view (the church is exempt from God’s coming wrath), urged urgent evangelism, and encouraged baptism and Spirit-filled living.
