Blood Covenant Inheritance Notes
Pastor Dr. Holman continues his transformative Blood Covenant series, now in its sixth week, focusing specifically on our inheritance through Christ’s blood. This powerful message begins with an extended time of worship, recognizing that in God’s presence there is fullness of joy and perfect peace. The congregation earnestly seeks God’s glory, crying out for the heavens to open and for His presence to fill every part of their hearts and minds.The core message centers on becoming ‘doers of the word’ rather than mere hearers. Pastor Holman emphasizes that when believers actively live out God’s word, they position themselves to receive His abundant blessings. This isn’t about earning salvation, but about positioning ourselves to receive the covenant benefits that Christ’s blood has already purchased for us. The pastor powerfully declares that God never wants lack in any area of our lives, challenging believers to trust in God’s provision even when circumstances seem impossible.The teaching on tithing reveals deep covenant principles. Pastor Holman explains that giving ten percent of all increase isn’t like leaving a tip at a restaurant based on performance, but rather represents how we honor God and serve Him. This act of faith activates the promise that ‘my God shall supply all of my need according to His riches in glory.’ The blood covenant guarantees God’s provision for those who walk in obedience to His principles.A significant portion of the message addresses the difference between knowing about God and having an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ. Many people in the community call themselves Christian but lack the transformational relationship that Christianity truly represents. Pastor Holman emphasizes that this relationship is so intimate and wonderful that it’s difficult to describe, but it fundamentally changes how believers live and interact with the world around them.The message also highlights the importance of evangelistic outreach, particularly through the upcoming women’s luncheon featuring Dr. Carol Elaine. Pastor Holman challenges the congregation to understand that they are the hands and feet of Jesus, responsible for going into the highways and byways to compel people to come in. This isn’t the pastor’s job alone, but the calling of every believer who has experienced the power of the blood covenant.Throughout the teaching, there’s a strong emphasis on serving others as Jesus served. The pastor reminds the congregation that Jesus didn’t come just to be Lord, but to serve and show believers the way. This principle of service extends to supporting ministry events, caring for one another, and reaching out to the lost in the community.
