The Covenant in His Blood: A Study on Communion and Justification

Join Pastor Mike Jenkins as he unpacks the deep, non-frivolous meaning behind Holy Communion, drawing from both modern and traditional worship to connect us with the intimacy of the Last Supper. This teaching underscores that Communion is a command from the Lord—a proclamation of His death until He returns—and a celebration of the power of His blood that cleanses us from all sin. Discover why the act of remembering is tied to the eternal redemption secured by Christ.

Key Themes and Main Points:

-- Communion is a Precious Remembrance: The act is special and not light, recalling the intimate time Jesus shared it with His disciples. -- The Power is in the Blood: The shed blood of Jesus is the single source of pardon, cleansing, hope, peace, and righteousness, as proclaimed in the hymn "There is Power in the Blood." -- A Once-for-All Sacrifice: Christ is the Passover Lamb who permanently takes away the sin of the world, replacing the annual covering of sins under the Mosaic Law. -- Justification by Blood: To be "justified" means God looks at a believer "just as if I never sin," a gift received not by works, but by grace through faith in the blood of Jesus. -- The Simple Road to Salvation: Salvation is achieved by simply confessing with the mouth that Jesus is Lord and believing in the heart that God raised Him from the dead (The Romans Road). -- Open Communion: All born-again believers in a relationship with Jesus Christ are welcomed to fellowship at the Lord's table, regardless of church membership.

Are you tired of the "seesaw life"—the constant ups and downs that leave you dizzy and discouraged? In this powerful message, Pastor Joseph Davis shows you how to stop running on empty and tap into the power of joy—the spiritual adrenaline that will interrupt your grieving, break weariness, and keep you on track to fulfill your God-given destiny.

Joy is more than fleeting happiness; it's a profound, spiritual connection that is the key to activating your courage to grow.

Main Points of the Message

-- Resilience is Your Response to Tragedy: Growth happens when you choose to leave your comfort zone and show resilience. It's not just the ability to bounce back, but also the capacity to adapt and pivot after hardship. -- Get Off the Seesaw: Adulthood cannot sustain a life of constant ups and downs. To move forward, you must face your fears, hush the noise around you, and get in the race. -- Joy is the Remedy for Weariness: The Bible warns against being "weary in well doing" because weariness can cause you to retreat and settle for going backward. Joy, however, gives you the strength to manage trouble and get to your promise. -- Joy Intervenes in Grief: God's word to Joshua after the death of Moses was, "Get going." This illustrates that joy will interrupt your grieving and give you the courage to move even when you have to "cry and move at the same time." -- Keep Your Eyes on Jesus: Jesus endured the cross "for the joy set before him." Joy gives you the strength to put up with anything ("cross, shame, whatever") because it gives you the foresight of your exhilarating finish. -- Joy Enables Transformation: You can't successfully pursue sanctification, change, or transformation without joy. It gives you the power to "let go" of weights and parasitic sins, allowing you to celebrate your progress. -- Count It All Joy: Joy is activated when you learn how to count your troubles as an indicator that you are alive and, therefore, able to change.

Apostle Otis B. Young brings an apostolic call to action, charging the listener to move beyond lip service and engage in a week of genuine, heart-changing repentance. The teaching begins with a powerful command to "Don't give up," even when circumstances are challenging, establishing a foundation of confident expectation in God's ability to heal and deliver.

The core of the message pivots on the need for spiritual cleansing and true change, especially among leaders and those who have been negatively influenced.

Key takeaways from this teaching include:

-- Confident Expectation: Move beyond mere arrogance or braggadocious talk and maintain a confident expectation that the God you serve is still a healer, a deliverer, and is able to do "exceedingly abundantly above all that you can ask." -- Breaking Bewitchment: Be aware of negative influences and "bad influences" that introduce false doctrines and bewitch the mind, pulling you away from the truth of the Word of God. The enemy wants you to change your mind concerning God's clear word. -- The Definition of Repentance: True repentance is the transformation of the heart and mind that is connected to a change in behavior, guided by a profound understanding of God's will—not simply going through religious formations. -- The Fire of the Holy Ghost: Seek a fresh baptism in the fire of the Holy Ghost to burn out everything that is not like God—every impurity, bad habit, and sin—so that you don't go back to the things you used to walk in. -- The Four Steps of Repentance: Repentance must be active and include four key steps: Acknowledge you were wrong, Accept correction, Make it right (if possible), and Continue in obedience. -- The Ripple Effect of Repentance: The repentance of a leader (like King Manasseh) causes a wave of repentance and cleansing to spread throughout the people and the land. Your decision to repent impacts everyone attached to you. -- Restoration is Attached to Repentance: Following genuine repentance, God restores the altars (prayer life) and enables you to build and do the work that is required.

Minister Bree Robinson takes a deep dive into the Old Testament book of Judges to analyze the life of Jephthah and the children of Israel’s cyclical nature of sin, rebellion, and deliverance. In this powerful message, she challenges listeners to move beyond a transactional relationship with God—the kind that says, "If you do this for me, I will do that for you."

Discover the profound truth of God’s love under the New Covenant and find freedom from the guilt, resentment, and regret that come from dwelling in the "ifs" of life.

Key Teaching Points:

-- You Cannot Serve Two Masters: The message begins by exploring the Israelites' confession of forsaking God and serving Baal (Judges 10:10). This is quickly tied to the modern danger of serving money, allowing monetary value to dictate our decisions and obedience. -- The Reminder of Deliverance: God's response to their sin—"Did not I deliver you?"—is a call to remember His faithfulness in bringing us out of personal bondage, such as depression and anger, reminding us to give Him glory for where He's brought us from. -- Forgiving the "Going Back": Minister Robinson encourages self-forgiveness and accepting God's forgiveness, acknowledging that like the Israelites, we often return to the very things He delivered us from, but His love prevails under the new covenant. -- The Danger of Bargaining: Jephthah's fateful vow—making a deal with God for victory—serves as a stark warning against trying to obligate or manipulate the Almighty. The lesson: God is worthy of all praise and obedience before and without a promised return. -- Choose Love Over Gloating: When Jephthah’s brethren came back needing his help, his initial reaction was to gloat and remind them of their past wrong. The minister challenges us to emulate Christ's love by pulling closer and elevating those who once did us wrong. -- The Power of Pure Obedience: Jephthah’s daughter demonstrates an ultimate form of honor and pure obedience by accepting her father’s vow, teaching us to embrace the high calling God has placed on our lives and to "stay pure" to our divine purpose.

In this stirring and honest message, Pastor Jerry McCamey asks a challenging question: Is the church fulfilling the Great Commission? By drawing attention to the gap between global births and daily conversions—a shortfall of over 300,000 souls per day—McCamey argues that the church has been gradually diverted from its primary mission.

He unpacks this failure by exploring three key principles necessary to reverse the trend, emphasizing that the solution will not come from "Madison Avenue" techniques or new denominational programs, but from a return to biblical foundations and the power of the Holy Spirit.

Key Points from the Message:

-- The Great Commission is not about having good church services. These activities are beneficial, but they are not the primary, unchanging mandate given to the church. -- The problem is the "deceptiveness of the gradual." The church did not intentionally abandon its mission, but was subtly drawn away by focusing on "church games" and internal activities. -- Size is not everything. McCamey tackles the modern church's obsession with the huge and colossal, quoting Scripture to remind us that "there is no restraint to the Lord to save by many or by few." -- We must have expectancy in our faith and prayer. Like the early church praying for Peter, we often lack the anticipation that God will actually do what we've asked Him to do. -- Soul-winning is the responsibility of every Christian. Pastors are shepherds, not birth-givers. The work belongs to every believer who is in "full-time ministry" regardless of their profession. -- The answer is a Divine Equation based on multiplication, not addition. McCamey illustrates how bringing "one person next week" (Operation Andrew) can double the church, while the Bible promises that one can chase a thousand, and two can put ten thousand to flight.

Obedience is partnership with God. In this powerful fourth message of the "Immeasurably More" vision series, Pastor Ryan reveals why God sometimes asks us to move before He shows us how and reminds us that what feels like silence might actually be God waiting for your yes. From the Red Sea moment to a compelling testimony about overcoming church hurt and financial mistrust, this teaching will challenge you to stop waiting for perfect clarity and start walking in faith. Whether you've been stuck asking God to move while He's been waiting for you to move, or you're wrestling with taking the first step without seeing the whole path—this message is packed with biblical truth, honest conviction, and the power of obedience. The miracle in your life doesn't meet you where you sit. It meets you where you step.

Scripture Reference: Exodus 14:15-19

Big Idea: God's ability to do immeasurably more has never been the issue—our availability to partner with Him is. Move before you see, and God will move in power.

Key Quote: "Obedience doesn't just activate God's power in our life. It also activates his protection and his provision. When we'll have the courage to move in obedience, he moves into position."

(1) (i) Jesus claimed to be God in John 10:30. That claim is confirmed by 3 evidences: His sinless life, the fulfillment of OT prophecies about the Messiah, and the crowning evidence of His physical resurrection from the dead found in Rom. 1:4. (ii) Therefore, we must conclude that Jesus is, in fact, God. (iii) Thus, we know that what God teaches is true. (iv) Jesus, as God, taught the OT is the Word of God (John 17:17). What Jesus meant was the OT. (v) Therefore, the OT is the Word of God. (vi) Certainly, then, the OT is reliable and trustworthy.

(2) Allow me to give a very brief but interesting way John Wesley proved the Bible to be from God and thus trustworthy.

Premise 1: There are 3 ALTERNATIVES: the Bible must be the invention either of good men or angels; or of bad men or devils; or from God.

Premise (2): It could not be the invention of good men or angels; for they neither would nor could make a book that tells lies all the time they were writing it, saying “Thus says the Lord,” if it was, in fact, their own invention.

Premise (3): It could not be the invention of bad men or devils; for they would not make a book which commands duty, forbids sin, and condemns their souls to hell for all eternity.

Conclusion (4): Therefore, the Bible must be given by divine inspiration.

(3) In a world filled with skepticism, understanding the trustworthiness of the Bible is crucial for the Christian faith. Let’s explore other reasons why we can confidently rely on Scripture.

Almost everyone will accept that Jesus was a very rare individual who could be trusted to speak the truth. Since Jesus said the OT was reliable and truthful, we can believe that. Moreover, His disciples wrote the NT. The authors of the gospels were either eyewitnesses themselves or they were reporting what eyewitnesses told them. Matthew and John were apostles chosen by Christ Himself (Matt. 10:1-3). John Mark is the author of the Gospel of Mark and was once a missionary companion of Paul and Barnabas [Acts 13:5]. We are told by the early church fathers that Mark recorded the words and experiences of the apostle Simon Peter.

Luke, the physician for Paul, emphasizes his careful investigation and reliance on eyewitness accounts (Luke 1:1-4). Paul who met the resurrected Jesus on the road to Damascus wrote 13 epistles in the NT. James and Jude were brothers of Jesus.

Only in the book of Hebrews do we not know clearly the author’s connection to Jesus.

(4) What do we know about the author of Hebrews?

(i) The author of Hebrews says that salvation was confirmed to the readers of Hebrews by those who heard the Lord (Heb. 2:3). The apostles are those who heard Him. So the author of Hebrews is not one of the 12 apostles. (ii) He wrote before the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD (Chapters 7 and 8 of Hebrews). Thus, the author lived around the time of the 12 apostles. (iii) He was well-versed in the OT. (There were 98 citations in the book of Hebrews). (iv) He wrote in a more polished Greek rather than the other NT writers who wrote in the common Koine Greek. (v) He calls Timothy “our brother” (13:23). We see then that Timothy is not the author. (vi) He was in Italy when he wrote (13:24). (vii) Even though the author is doubtful among the scholars of our time, he was not unknown to the people to whom the letter was sent. The readers knew him well enough to accept this letter without him mentioning his name. There are at least 3 passages that show that the readers and the author are mutual acquaintances (10:34; 13:18; and 13:23). The passage 13:23 suggests they knew the author well but also that they knew his relationship with Timothy.

Luke, Barnabas, and Apollos all fit these characteristics, and some bibles assert that Paul is the author of Hebrews, but that designation is not scripture itself but an indication of a scribal insertion.
