Chad Holland: The Gift of the Community and God’s Blueprint for Life
On this past Sabbath, our congregation was visited by Chad Holland – CEO and Overseer of the King of Kings family of ministries. Chad has extensive experience in leading Messianic congregations and establishing new ministries worldwide, and has been living and serving in Israel since 2014. In his message, he focused on the theme of “The Gift of the Community,” revealing a biblical perspective on why the unity of believers is not merely a tradition, but a strategic divine design.
The core idea of the sermon was that God is a God of order and detail, who woven the principle of partnership into the very foundation of creation. Chad reminded us that just as the Tabernacle in the Old Testament was built according to precise heavenly blueprints, our success in influencing the world today depends on following God’s instructions. He emphasized that a healthy local community and a strong family are the fundamental mechanisms through which the Lord transforms cities and nations, provided we do not attempt to replace His wisdom with our own methods.
Special attention was given to the importance of spiritual power that must accompany our testimony. He noted that the community is the place where believers are equipped with the power of the Holy Spirit for effective service to society. Chad urged everyone not just to attend meetings, but to realize they are part of a living organism called to pass the faith on to the next generation. This word served as a vital reminder that in God’s plan, no one is called to stand alone, and it is through unity within the community that we find the fullness of blessing and victory in our calling.
