• Reveal Jackson: Spirit Infused Music

    Reveal Jackson 2022 was an amazing time with the Holy Spirit. I have been very touched by all the personal stories and testimonies people have shared with me during and since. Can’t wait to hear more! The message I preached there along with some visual deliverance techniques are in the podcast episode below.

  • Tested Like Jesus

    It was the Holy Spirit who drove Jesus into the wilderness to be tested. As we watch Jesus face off against Satan, we come to learn a few things about battling temptation in our own lives.

  • The Homeless King Dream

    I recently had a dream that a crowd was singing Revelation Song. As soon as the chorus hit, the worship leader pulled a blanket off of something, revealing a homeless man sitting on a park bench. The crowd erupted in praise, knowing they were staring at God on his throne as we all sang, “Holy,…

  • Get Registered for Reveal Jackson 2022!

    What is Reveal? A few years back, Pastor Steven Hlatky and I grieved that there wasn’t more in the Free Methodist Church to educate people on spiritual gifts. And then we realized something: we could make our own event! Reveal was born a year later in 2020 before having to go on hiatus due to…

  • Repentance is the Way to Jesus

    As John the Baptist starts his ministry, he calls the remnant of Israel into repentance. This mantle continues to be carried by Jesus after John’s passing, and that message is now passed on to us here at 1208 as the Holy Spirit has called us to “repent to make space for new gifts.”

  • How Many Signs Do You Need?

    As we begin a new series on Luke, we take a look at an incredible sign being given about John the Baptist’s birth and his father’s unbelief. How often have we been told exactly what to do and yet we want more proof and signs to point us toward it?

  • Kingdom Ministry

    Why are we so intent in our new church model on physical and spiritual needs? Jamin explains that even though much of the church has seen good works as something separate or other than church, it’s actually a core part of our identity.

  • The Importance of Church Services

    At 1208 Greenwood we’ve reprogrammed church to work in a lot of unique ways. So why do we still incorporate a fairly standard worship service with music, preaching and more into our gatherings? We dive into 1 Corinthians 14 for more answers on that.

  • A Blind, Power-Hungry Church

    When Hitler rose to power, the German Church went with him. As his anti-semitic laws were put in force, the Church—which was born as an anti-racist movement—joined in on the racism. As their new dictator made his proclamations, the German Church likened him to Christ, seeing him as a political messiah of sorts that was…

  • Body and Soul Die in Hell?

    Much of my preaching over the years has revolved around me selecting a book of the Bible and preaching straight through it. A recent series on Matthew messed me up on the topic of Hell as it didn’t seem to match the traditional view I grew up with. For example, in Matthew, Jesus says, “do…
