Pastor Gray continues his examination of Hebrews 9:27, that it isn't about dying but about living. 

God has given gifts to all of us. He wants us to use those gifts, as the parable of the talents illustrates. God was angry with the servant who buried his talent. 

What giftings has God given you? What are you doing with it? When you stand before the judgment seat of Christ what will the fire reveal about how you used your giftings?

Pastor Gray examines the topic of judgment and looks at Hebrews 9:27, "it is appointed unto men once to die." 

The unbeliever (spiritually dead) will face the great white throne of God's judgment. The authentic believer will stand before the judgment (bema) seat of Christ. 

In ancient times, the bema seat was a raised platform where judges evaluated contestants of athletic games and distributed rewards. This is what Christ does for us when we stand before His judgment seat. It is not about determining our salvation, but examining how we've used our God-given gifts and rewarding us accordingly.

Pastor Gray preaches from Isaiah 1 on the rebelliousness of God's people and what He planned to do about their lack of faith. 

God got their attention and  told them how he planned to deal with them. We talk a good story, but do we have the faith to live the Scriptures God has given us? God has done for us exactly what He said he would do for the Israelites--He brought us a Savior.

Pastors Larry Gray Sr.,  Mark Linder, and Larry Gray Jr. finish out the Summer Kingdom Advance Conference with a sermon on our title deed and active faith. 

Hebrews 11:1 AMP says, "Now faith is the assurance (title deed, confirmation) of things hoped for (divinely guaranteed)." And God is pleased when we enter His throne room to use our title deed.

Friday morning Summer Kingdom Advance Conference teaching from Pastor Jeff Pickerel.  

God doesn't do anything without first telling His prophets what He will do. And the Word must be coupled with the move of the Spirit. You cannot have one without the other.

Thursday night, Summer Kingdom Advance Conference 2026. 

Pastor Gray and Pastor Jeff Pickerel of Heritage Church, St. Joseph, MO, preach on the full work that Jesus accomplished with His resurrection that we call salvation, but is so much more.

Pastor Gray opens the Summer Kingdom Advance Conference with a story about two boys, a rock, and a snake. 

Those boys loved playing on that rock, until one day, the discovered a snake lying there. How did they react? 

How do we react when we see a snake in our lives?

Pastor Bill Grace preaches on how God took the formless, that which was in confusion and chaos, and brought form to it. 

The Holy Spirit is always hovering over our lives as He hovered over the formless and empty earth in the beginning of time. God wants to bring form to our lives but we must first open ourselves to Him.
