Back to Basics: Living the Vision in 2026
In this transparent and challenging message, Pastor Mike Jenkins calls the congregation of Springs of Hope to return to the fundamental disciplines of the Christian faith. Sharing his own journey toward healing and his vision for the coming year, Pastor Mike emphasizes that spiritual growth isn't about complex theology, but about the simple, daily disciplines of "breathing and eating"—prayer and the Word.
-- We must align our profession with the Word of God, especially when facing physical infirmity or the "regular ongoing crud" of life.
-- Faith isn't just a feeling; it is the evidence of things not seen and the substance that allows us to stand firm during medical trials and personal testing.
-- The "2211 Plan" is a practical tool for 2026: read two Old Testament chapters, two New Testament chapters, one Psalm, and one Proverb daily to stay spiritually fed.
-- Justification means being seen by God "just as if I’d never sinned," a reality made possible only through the blood of Jesus Christ.
-- Our corporate mission is to seek and save the lost, but our individual vision is how we use our unique spiritual gifts to execute that plan.
-- Private devotion is the priority for spiritual victory; what you put into your relationship with God in the secret place determines what you get out in public.
