Communion and Remembering the Covenant

Pastor Lenny begins in worship, magnifying the Lord’s name, and then turns to the subject of communion. He explains that people have asked why they celebrate communion every Sunday. His response is essentially the opposite question: How could believers not celebrate communion every Sunday? In fact, why not celebrate it every day?

He points back to the early church and recalls how believers went from house to house, broke bread, and celebrated together. Communion, in his understanding, is not merely a religious ritual scheduled occasionally on the church calendar. It is a reminder of what Christ has accomplished.

Pastor Lenny shares a personal example. There were periods in his life when he had medication that had to be taken three times a day. He eventually thought that if he was going to take medication three times every day, he would also take communion three times every day.

His purpose was remembrance. He wanted to be reminded again and again of his covenant—the covenant forged through the blood of Jesus Christ and entered into through faith in Christ.

This emphasis on remembering the covenant becomes important later in the sermon when Pastor Lenny recounts one of the most frightening physical experiences of his life and how communion again became a tangible reminder of that covenant.

The Lord’s Prayer: Our Father in Heaven

Pastor Lenny explains that Pastor Lori had already alluded to the subject earlier. He then shares something that surprises even him: despite preaching for many years, he cannot remember ever preaching specifically on the Lord’s Prayer. Recently, however, he felt the Lord directing him toward it and telling him that it was time to grasp the fullness of this prayer. He therefore planned to spend the next several weeks teaching from it. The message begins in Matthew 6, particularly verses 9 and 10:

Matthew 6:9-10- “After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.”

Jesus begins by directing attention toward the Father: “Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.” Pastor Lenny sees an immediate lesson in Jesus’ words. Worship the heavenly Father. Praise the heavenly Father. Exalt His name. Honor Him. Lift His name.

God is worthy of that praise. Pastor Lenny describes Him as the God of all gods, wonderful and amazing. Yet he asks why Jesus deliberately begins His teaching on prayer this way. There is more involved than the simple fact that God deserves praise.

Keeping Our Focus on the Heavenly Father

Pastor Lenny connects Jesus’ opening words in the Lord’s Prayer with Jesus’ teaching about trouble in this world:

John 16:33- “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.”

Jesus knew that believers would experience tribulation during their earthly walk. Yet He also said to be of good cheer because He had overcome the world. Pastor Lenny says he now understands those words in a way he had not understood them before. He asks: How did Jesus overcome the world? His answer centers on focus. Jesus continually kept His attention upon His omnipotent Father, His Almighty Father, His amazing Father—the God of all gods.

When the Father fills a person’s vision, everything else begins to pale by comparison with His glory, power, and honor. This understanding leads Pastor Lenny into a personal vision that had a profound effect on the way he viewed the mountains in his life.

The Vision of the Mountain Becoming a Speck

Pastor Lenny recalls a vision in which he found himself seated alongside the Lord in the heavenly realm. He was sitting on a throne beside the Lord. His feet seemed to rest on something solid, yet the surface was transparent. He could see directly through it, almost as though it were crystal. When he looked downward, he saw something extraordinarily small. It looked like a speck. In fact, it appeared to be little more than a speck of dust. His attention, however, was not primarily on the speck. His focus was on God, on the heavenly realm, and on God Almighty.

Then Pastor Lenny looked at the Lord and asked whether that speck was his “mountain”—the same mountain that had been giving him so much difficulty, concern, and anxiety. From his earthly perspective, the problem had seemed enormous. But now his mindset and perspective were different. Viewed from the heavenly realm while focused upon God, the mountain looked like nothing more than a speck. The Lord did not verbally answer him. He simply nodded yes.

Pastor Lenny then reached downward. Although the transparent surface beneath him seemed solid, his hand passed through it. He reached toward the speck and simply flicked it away. For Pastor Lenny, the vision illustrated why Jesus begins the prayer by turning attention toward the Father in heaven.

Matthew 6:9- “After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.”

When the believer’s perspective is centered upon the greatness of God and the heavenly reality in which Christ has placed them, what appeared to be an enormous mountain can suddenly be seen from an entirely different perspective.

Raised and Seated With Christ

At this point, Pastor Lenny acknowledges that his planned message is changing as he preaches. His thoughts turn toward Paul’s teachings in Colossians, Ephesians, and Romans. Particularly in Ephesians, Paul teaches that believers have been raised with Christ and seated with Christ in heavenly places:

Ephesians 2:6- “And hath raised us together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:”

Pastor Lenny emphasizes that this is where believers are seated. Consequently, this is where their minds and thoughts should be fixed. He connects this with Paul’s teaching in Colossians:

Colossians 3:1-2- “If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.”

Pastor Lenny’s point is that believers should become mindful of heavenly realities rather than allowing earthly circumstances to dominate their thinking. He recalls the old hymn “Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus” and its message about looking toward Jesus until earthly things diminish in comparison with His glory and grace. That, Pastor Lenny says, helps explain why Jesus begins His teaching on prayer with the Father in heaven.

Your Kingdom Come: On Earth As It Is in Heaven

Pastor Lenny then arrives at the portion of the prayer that gives the sermon its central message:
Matthew 6:10- “Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.”

He jokingly describes this almost as Jesus “teasing” believers. Why would Jesus tell people to pray for God’s kingdom to come and His will to be done on earth exactly as it is in heaven? Pastor Lenny answers that Jesus said it because it is possible. More strongly, he teaches that the kingdom has come. Therefore, God’s will can be experienced here and now on earth as it is in heaven.

He reads another translation emphasizing the beloved Father dwelling in the heavenly realms. That causes him to make another point: God is not the only one associated with that heavenly realm. Through Christ, believers now belong there as well. He supports this with Colossians:

Colossians 1:13- “Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son.”

Pastor Lenny describes this as part of the power of the new covenant of grace and the gospel. The Father delivers believers from the domain of darkness and transfers them into the kingdom of His beloved Son. The prayer therefore speaks of God’s kingdom realm being manifested and His purposes being fulfilled on earth as they are in heaven. Pastor Lenny reminds the congregation that Jesus originally spoke the Lord’s Prayer before the cross—before His death, burial, and resurrection. From the other side of the resurrection, Pastor Lenny hears Paul describing what believers now possess. In the sermon, he identifies Ephesians chapter 1, verse 4:

Ephesians 1:4- “According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love.”
He then brings Peter into the discussion:|
2 Peter 1:3- “According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue.”

Therefore, Pastor Lenny concludes that Jesus was not teasing believers with an impossible prayer. Because believers have been transferred into the kingdom and belong to the heavenly realm in Christ, they can expect the blessings associated with that realm.

The Kingdom Came

Pastor Lenny introduces his first major point directly: “The kingdom came.” He begins with John the Baptist:

Matthew 3:2-3- “And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.”

John announced that the kingdom of heaven was at hand. Pastor Lenny then moves to Jesus’ own proclamation:
Matthew 4:17- “From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”

Jesus ushered in the kingdom. For Pastor Lenny, the kingdom is therefore not merely something believers are waiting to enter after death. Something decisive happened through Jesus Christ: the kingdom came.

Repent: Think Differently

The word “repent” becomes Pastor Lenny’s next focus. He humorously describes a traditional religious picture of repentance: someone rushing to the front of the church, weeping uncontrollably, mascara running, nose dripping, sobbing, and pleading with God for forgiveness again and again. Then he rejects that as the meaning he wants the congregation to understand.

When Scripture says:
Matthew 4:17- “From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”

Pastor Lenny explains repentance as changing the way one thinks—to think differently and reconsider. He admits that he personally had a great deal of reconsidering to do. He references the message of a song they had just heard: people have been told to be ashamed, told that they are sinners, and told that they are failures. But Pastor Lenny presents Jesus’ announcement of the kingdom as a call to begin thinking differently. The kingdom is here. Therefore, stop identifying yourself as a failure. Recognize that you are important to God. Recognize that God loves you. He urges believers to change the way they think about themselves. That includes refusing to remain controlled by fear, anxiety, and worry.
For Pastor Lenny, kingdom living requires mind renewal. Old religious thinking must give way to what Christ has accomplished and what God says is true.

Humility Is Not Inferiority

Pastor Lenny next challenges an idea he believes religion has wrongly introduced into Christianity: the idea that feeling inferior is somehow evidence of humility. Fear, anxiety, low self-worth, and an inferiority complex should not be confused with biblical humility. He points to Jesus. Paul teaches that because Jesus humbled Himself, God exalted Him:

Philippians 2:9- “Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name.”

Jesus consistently walked in humility. But did Jesus have an inferiority complex?  Pastor Lenny answers emphatically: no. Humility, as he explains it, is not believing that you are inherently better than another person. It means not considering yourself a better child, son, or daughter than another child, son, or daughter. Jesus demonstrated this. He did not walk around considering Himself better than John, Peter, or the other disciples. Yet He was genuinely humble. Therefore, repentance includes reconsidering religious definitions of humility.

Pastor Lenny again calls the congregation to repent—to think differently—if they want to experience the kingdom of God here and now. The kingdom has come. Their thinking must begin to agree with that reality.

Jesus Showed What the Kingdom Looks Like

Pastor Lenny's second major point is that Jesus introduced and demonstrated what the kingdom was. If Jesus brought the kingdom, and believers now live and move within that kingdom, an obvious question follows: What does the kingdom look like? Pastor Lenny answers through Jesus’ words in Luke:

Luke 4:18-19- “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.”

This, Pastor Lenny says, is what the kingdom is about. It involves good news for the poor, healing for broken hearts, liberty for captives, sight for the blind, and freedom for those who have been oppressed. This is not merely what kingdom living meant during Jesus’ earthly ministry. Pastor Lenny teaches that this describes kingdom living now.

The Gospel of the Kingdom Is Good News

Pastor Lenny pauses over the word “gospel.” What does gospel mean? Good news. A good message. Jesus was anointed to deliver a good message. Pastor Lenny then turns to Matthew:

Matthew 4:23- “And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.”

Jesus preached the gospel—the good news—of the kingdom. What accompanied that proclamation? Healing. Jesus healed all kinds of sickness and disease among the people. Pastor Lenny therefore describes the kingdom in practical terms: healing has come, rescue has come, and redemption has come. These are manifestations of the good news of the kingdom.

Freely You Have Received, Freely Give

Pastor Lenny next turns to Jesus commissioning His disciples:

Matthew 10:1- “And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.”

Jesus gave His disciples authority over unclean spirits and authority to heal sickness and disease. Then He told them what to proclaim and what to do:

Matthew 10:7-8- “And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.”

Pastor Lenny emphasizes the final words in particular: “Freely ye have received, freely give.” The disciples were not supposed merely to receive the kingdom for themselves. What had been freely given to them was to flow freely through them toward others.

The Kingdom Is Not Only for the Chosen Few

Pastor Lenny then brings up Luke 10 and says that he and Pastor Lori intend to discuss the subject further on Tuesday. In Luke 10, Jesus does not merely send the twelve.

Luke 10:1- “After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come.”

Pastor Lenny asks where these additional disciples came from. He then turns backward to Luke 9 and discusses John. John is often remembered as the beloved disciple, so people may imagine him as extraordinarily gentle and loving. Yet John saw someone casting out a demon in Jesus’ name who was not traveling as part of their immediate group. Instead of celebrating what the man was doing, John wanted Jesus to stop him. The reason was simple: “he followeth not with us.” The passage says:

Luke 9:49-50- “And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us. And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us.”

Pastor Lenny finds this extremely significant. The man apparently was not one of the twelve. He was not part of the immediate group walking physically with Jesus. Yet he had heard or experienced the message of the kingdom and was acting upon it. Perhaps he had personally been touched. Perhaps he had been healed. Whatever his precise background, he was now freely giving what had been freely received. This challenges the religious idea that supernatural ministry belongs only to a special few.

There Are No Spectators in God’s Kingdom

Pastor Lenny says he is continuing to get religion out of his thinking. Religion, he argues, has convinced much of the body of Christ that healing, miracles, and supernatural manifestations belong only to a select group of special ministers. He rejects that idea. He teaches that kingdom participation belongs to every believer. The people mentioned in Luke 9 apparently were not walking as members of Jesus’ twelve handpicked disciples, yet they had encountered the kingdom and began sharing what they had received.

Pastor Lenny sees significance in Jesus later sending a much larger group. The kingdom is not reserved for “the chosen one,” “the chosen ministry,” or one unusually gifted person. It is for everyone. That means everyone needs to repent—to change their thinking—and begin thinking differently about the kingdom being available here and now. Pastor Lenny then invokes Paul's declaration about God's power:

Ephesians 3:20- “Now unto him that can do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,”

The power works within believers. Pastor Lenny therefore urges believers to receive the manifestation of what God has already placed within them and recognize that they have been commissioned. He returns to Jesus’ words:

Matthew 10:8- “Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.”

Freely receive. Then freely give. Pastor Lenny declares that there are no spectators in God’s kingdom. God does not want or expect spectators. He expects His children to participate. Pastor Lenny even jokes that perhaps he will no longer need to preach when all of God’s children rise, understand what they have freely received, freely give it to others, understand the message of the kingdom, and begin living the kingdom as they were intended to live it.

No More Waiting: You Have Been Established in the Kingdom

Pastor Lenny introduces his third major point: No more waiting. Believers have already been established in the kingdom.

He returns to Colossians:
Colossians 1:13- “Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son.”

Pastor Lenny describes this deliverance expansively. God has delivered believers from the power of darkness. He describes this as deliverance from the enemy's kingdom and from the realm associated with sickness, death, dying, and disease. Most importantly, God has not simply taken believers out of something. He has brought them into something.

Colossians 1:13- “Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:”

Believers have been transferred into the kingdom of the Son of His love. For Pastor Lenny, this changes kingdom living from something believers endlessly wait for into something they should recognize as their present reality.

Delivered and Transferred Immediately

Pastor Lenny concentrates on the language of being delivered and conveyed or transferred. He describes the deliverance as something done rapidly—not an endless religious journey toward eventually becoming qualified for God's kingdom. He says God “rushed us into it.” His point is that entrance into the kingdom is not a slow process in which believers spend years attempting to earn their way closer to what God has promised.

If God has already brought believers into His kingdom, Pastor Lenny reasons that He expects them to experience the realm into which He has brought them. He pushes against what he describes as the religious obsession with everything becoming a “journey.” Religion can infiltrate a believer's thinking until the kingdom itself becomes something that always seems to be farther down the road. Pastor Lenny instead returns to the completed action described by Paul:

Colossians 1:13- “Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:”

He describes “conveyed” or “translated” as being transferred or completely carried away. The exchange has taken place. For Pastor Lenny, the central idea is immediacy. Something has already happened to the believer because of Christ.

Removing Religion From Our Thinking

Pastor Lenny says that if believers begin believing correctly—believing according to the kingdom—they must get rid of religious ideas that have accumulated in their minds. He openly acknowledges that he himself has had things in his thinking that the Lord is still removing. At one point he starts to mention a dream, but Pastor Lori tells him not to share it, and he respects her request. He notes that he had told her about it and that she was amazed by it, but he does not disclose the dream itself. He returns instead to the religious messages that occupy people's minds:

“You have to do.”
“You must do.”
“It’s a journey.”
Pastor Lenny contrasts that mentality with his understanding of what Paul teaches about being transferred into God's kingdom.

Colossians 1:13- “Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son.”

For Pastor Lenny, it is time to begin believing what God has already accomplished. It is time to purge the mind of religiosity that contradicts the finished work and present reality of God's kingdom.

Pastor Lenny’s COVID-19 Healing Testimony

Pastor Lenny then gives one of the sermon’s most personal examples. He says that according to some religious ways of thinking, he “should not have been healed.” Why? Because he doubted. He remembers lying in bed one night, extremely frightened. He genuinely believed he was going to die. COVID-19 had struck him severely. His body was in intense pain, particularly his chest and lungs.

Pastor Lenny compares the experience with the significant physical pain he had endured previously. He had undergone ankle reconstruction, knee surgery, rotator cuff surgery, cervical neck surgery, and two back surgeries. All of those surgeries, he notes, occurred before he understood grace. Yet despite that history with pain, he says he had never experienced pain like what he experienced that night with COVID. Normal breathing became almost impossible. Instead, he could take only short sips of air because every breath hurt.

He describes the sensation as though an elephant were sitting on his chest. He was terrified. His mind was not filled with confident declarations about healing. He was not lying there triumphantly confessing healing Scriptures. Instead, he believed death might be imminent. His prayer was essentially about what would happen to Pastor Lori after he died. He asked the Lord to take care of his wife when he was gone. Then, in the middle of that fear, Pastor Lenny says the voice of the Lord came to him.

The Lord told him that getting up would hurt, but instructed him to go into the kitchen, take communion, and remember the covenant. Remember the covenant. That connected directly with the emphasis at the beginning of the sermon: communion as remembrance of the covenant established through Jesus Christ. Pastor Lenny obeyed.

Getting to the kitchen was extraordinarily difficult. He used the furniture and structures around him to support himself—the dresser beside the bed, the doorframe, and the hallway. He stumbled and took tiny steps, doing whatever he could to keep himself from falling. He jokes that fortunately they lived in a small condominium. Eventually, he reached the kitchen cabinet and celebrated communion. He had listened to the Lord. Then he made the painful trip back to the bedroom. Even climbing back into bed hurt. Yet after taking communion, Pastor Lenny admits that his thoughts did not suddenly become perfect. He still believed Pastor Lori might wake up as a widow.

He continued praying that God would take care of her. He hoped Brandon, Steven, Ally, and the rest of the family would care for her after he was gone. In other words, Pastor Lenny says plainly that he still doubted. He still had unbelief. Yet he closed his eyes. When he awakened the following morning, he says he was completely healed. This becomes a powerful illustration of his central argument against religious thinking.

His healing was not presented as a reward for achieving perfect mental performance, eliminating every doubt, or successfully generating enough faith through his own effort. He had been frightened. He had doubted. He thought he was dying. Yet he remembered the covenant and experienced healing. Pastor Lenny uses the testimony to urge believers to stop allowing religion to dominate their thinking.

Know, Believe, Expect, and Live the Truth

Pastor Lenny concludes the teaching with four emphatic statements.

-First, believers must know the truth.
-Second, they must believe the truth.
-Third, they must expect the truth.
-Fourth, they must live in the truth through the power of God that resides within them.

This conclusion brings together the sermon’s major themes. Jesus taught His followers to pray:

Matthew 6:10- “Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.”

Pastor Lenny teaches that believers should not treat this merely as a distant hope. The kingdom came. Jesus demonstrated what the kingdom looks like. Believers have been transferred into that kingdom:

Colossians 1:13:- “Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son.”
They have been raised and seated with Christ:

Ephesians 2:6- “And hath raised us together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:”
Their thinking therefore should become aligned with that reality:

Colossians 3:1-2- “If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.”

They are not spectators. They have freely received and are called to freely give:

Matthew 10:8- “Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.”

And the power necessary for kingdom living is not presented as something completely external or impossibly distant:

Ephesians 3:20- “Now unto him that can do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,”

Pastor Lenny therefore closes the teaching by calling believers away from religious thinking and toward truth—truth that is known, believed, expected, and lived.

Closing Prayer: Mind Renewal Brings Transformation

Pastor Lenny closes in prayer. He worships the Father, praises Him, and gives Him honor and glory. He thanks God not only for everything He has already done but also for what He continues to do and what He will continue doing. The prayer then returns to one of the sermon’s central themes: mind renewal.

Pastor Lenny thanks God for renewing the mind because renewed thinking brings transformation. That conclusion fits the message he has repeatedly emphasized throughout the sermon. The kingdom has come. Therefore, believers are called to repent—to think differently. They are called to stop interpreting themselves and their circumstances exclusively through earthly appearances and religious traditions.

Instead, they are to recognize where Christ has placed them, recognize what God has accomplished, remember the covenant, and allow their thinking to become consistent with kingdom reality. The mountain that appears overwhelming from an earthly perspective can look like a speck when seen from the perspective of God's greatness. The believer who thinks he must spend a lifetime attempting to reach the kingdom can discover that God has already transferred him into the kingdom of His Son. The believer who thinks supernatural ministry belongs only to special people can hear Jesus say:

Matthew 10:8- “Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.”

The believer who believes doubt has automatically disqualified him can remember Pastor Lenny’s testimony of being frightened, expecting to die, remembering the covenant through communion, and awakening the next morning healed. And the believer who sees only what is happening on earth can return to Jesus’ extraordinary prayer:

Matthew 6:9-10- “After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.”

Pastor Lenny ends by giving God praise, honor, and glory in Jesus’ name. Amen.

We hope this article blessed you and helped you see more clearly the reality of God’s kingdom and what Jesus meant when He taught His followers to pray for God’s will to be done on earth as it is in heaven. Share this teaching with others who need encouragement to renew their minds, remember the covenant, recognize what Christ has already accomplished, and live confidently in the truth of God’s grace and kingdom.
