Reveal Jackson: Power Evangelism

Steven is the lead pastor of The Foundery Church in Wellsburg, WV. His encounter with Holy Spirit as a teenager pushed him to search for and recognize God's workings in his life and those around him. He believes there is a (w)holistic approach to the ministry we do for the Kingdom of God.

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.

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.

The Lord's Breakfast

Why do we make a big deal about eating together when we gather on Sundays? Why do we incorporate communion into it? Is it just to be cool or is there a Biblical precedent to it? In this message Jamin explains how eating together connects to Jesus’ ministry and the gatherings of the early church and the prophetic and strategic messaging it carries when we still do it today.

Our new church model launches September 11th!

• 9am | The Lord’s Breakfast: Grab a bowl from our cereal bar.

• 10am | Worship Service: Unique music style and deeply researched teaching.

• 11am | Kingdom Ministry: Let us help with your physical and spiritual needs.

The Second Two Rules of Communication

Professor Mark Edwards wraps up his series on the replacement principles, hitting on the final two rules of communication.

A New Model for 1208

The last few years have been a long journey. From the rise of dinner church to the crash of the pandemic, to the attempt to restart dinner church, to the pause to pray all summer. But now our board comes forward with a new direction that we think fits all of the words we’ve been hearing from the Spirit and something that matches our DNA as 1208 and as Church in general.

The First Two Rules of Communication

Professor Mark Edwards continues to help us understand how to replace bad habits. In this episode he gives us the first two rules of communication so that we can have better conversations and better establish what’s going on in our hearts and minds.

A Conversation in Replacing Bad Habits

In this experiment, Professor Mark Edwards takes us deeper into the principles of getting rid of bad habits and replacing them with good ones. He sets us up for a conversation at our tables and then we come back together to talk about what we've learned.

Piecing it Together

In this experiment, Jamin takes a plethora of words, dreams, and visions given to 1208 over the years and tries to piece together the themes in front of everyone as we move into our next season.

The Prophets Call Us to the Poor

There are two major streams of the prophetic in the church today. One form is of a more supernatural perspective, where God speaks to people and they speak out his word. The other form is of a more natural perspective, where the poor are preached about and actions are taken to provide for them. But these two streams shouldn't be separated. If God truly is supernaturally speaking to us, he will at some point speak to us about the poor. The prophetic life is both supernatural and natural—preaching and action.

The New Creation Spirit of Pentecost

As the mighty rushing wind of the Holy Spirit blows through the early church, their lives are empowered and transformed into something different. The new creation to come begins to burst out of these Christians in power, in character, and even sociologically.

Walls and Poison

As Jamin went to pray, a dream he had about 1208 that morning popped into his mind. As he reflected on it, he felt it important to lean into the themes found there. And out of those themes came this message, calling the post-pandemic church out of apathy.

Replacement Principles

In this message, Professor Mark Edwards brings us a great teaching on the importance of replacement. It doesn't work well for us to simply stop doing something—we must replace bad things with good things as the Holy Spirit grows his fruit in us. Mark takes these principles in directions that feed well into our sociology and our personal lives.

The Armor of Spiritual Warfare

While Jamin's been engaging in spiritual warfare over the last few months, he's been reflecting on the importance of wearing the armor of God. In this message, he hones in on a few thoughts from Ephesians 6 that have come up along the way.

Ministry with the Spirit

So often we do ministry without the Holy Spirit, but that was never Jesus's intent. In this message Jamin calls us to be faithful to the giftings the Holy Spirit has given us so that we can do ministry well and so that in our faithfulness, we might receive additional empowerment to do more.

The Intimacy of God's Presence

In this message, Jamin highlights the place to which our time worshipping can lead.

Emotion and Worship Music

In this message, Jamin shares his emotional journey with worship music and then asks a few questions. Is it okay to be emotional in worship music? What's does the Bible say about that? Are people really feeling the Holy Spirit or is it just their own emotion?
