The Fullness of Christ

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.

The Rock and the Snake

Pastor Gray opens the Summer Kingdom Advance Conference 2026 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?

Listen in for more.

Revelation Knowledge

Pastor preaches on receiving revelation knowledge from God’s Word, based on Eph. 1:18.

When we get sick we sometimes think that’s because we’ve failed or done something wrong. No, that’s not true! The enemy is actively coming against us, and so we must stand on the Word. God is with us in every moment of our lives. He wants us to have revelation of His will through the Word and to have victory.

Are you being enlightened by His Word as Ephesians 1:18 declares?

The Resurrection

Pastor Gray expounds on John 11:25-26, “I am the resurrection, and the life,” and all that means for us who believe.

Resurrection means to be brought up from the dead, but another meaning is “stand on your feet again.” When your memories outweigh your dreams, a resurrection needs to take place.

Jesus is the one who will stand us up on our feet and put us on solid ground. Christ gave us zoe life—redemption, forgiveness of sins, bodily healing, deliverance, and being raised to new life. We will never die. Our mortal body will, but our spirit will live eternally with God in heaven.

But what of those who reject Christ?

Able to Hear

Pastor Gray examines the Parable of the Sower and encourages those who “have ears to hear.”

In this parable, the seed is the Word of God, and we are the ground. But not all heard the Word because hearing means what enters into the heart. Is the Word entering your heart and taking root?

Pastor makes reference to last week’s sermon by Pastor Mark Linder on choosing your hard–marriage is hard, divorce is hard, choose your hard—and how that message entered deep into his heart.

Pastor therefore exhorts us to read, hear, and keep the Word. Let it enter into your heart.

A Choice

On the day that President Trump rededicates the US to God, Pastor Gray preaches on 2 Chronicles 7:14, “if my people…will.”

In this verse, God gives his people—which applies to Old Testament Israel and the New Testament church—a choice. They can humble themselves, pray, seek his face, and turn from their sins; then God will hear their prayer, forgive their sins, and heal their land.

The Virtuous Woman

We’re living in a day of deception like we’ve never seen before. What does this have to do with a virtuous woman? Listen in for more.

In American society today, women are pressured not to have children. How do we recognize deception when it comes in the name of the Lord? The description of a virtuous woman in Proverbs 31 will show us. That woman is not acceptable today, but the woman of Prov. 31 represents the bride of Christ.

Where There Is No Vision

Pastor Gray preaches from Proverbs 29:18, “where there is no vision, the people perish.”

God told the prophet Habakkuk to write down the vision that he who read it could run with it. It is within God’s Word.

Are you reading it?

Are you hearing it?

Are you keeping it?

When the Word is unveiled, we see the beauty of God.

The Importance of Baptism

Pastor Gray teaches from Col. 2:9–15 on water baptism.

Baptism in the Greek means signify through immersion, washing, cleansing, and identification for burial; total lasting change. “For you were buried with Christ when you were baptized. And with him you were raised to new life because you trusted the mighty power of God” (Col 2:12 NLT).

The old man dies as one is fully immersed in the water; he rises up out of the water a new man.

Revival in the Family

Pastor Gray teaches from Eph. 5:22–33 on how marriage should operate and how it models Christ and the Church.

Revival in the church starts with revival in the family.

Marriage between a man and a woman is a kingdom principle, and how it operates is laid out in Ephesians 5:22–33. The marriage models how God intends for the relationship between Christ and His church to operate.

Listen in to learn what God expects from the man, and what He expects from the woman.
