HOG MOB
Founded in 1999 by Sevin in Sacramento, CA
HOG MOB is an acronym that stands for: “HOOK’D ON GOD – MINISTRY OVA BIZNESS”
What this means is, we addictively desire and actively pursue a relationship with the one true and living God. We also choose to live a life that serves his purpose not our own. We will never put a price tag on a soul.
HogMob is a collective group of Christian artists who work together to disciple one another as well as create and distribute Gospel-focused music for the purpose of impacting the culture with the truth of God’s Word. HMM also sponsors tours for these artists which allows them to take their music and testimonies on the road and be of greater impact in various cities all over the nation.
FOUNDATIONAL SCRIPTURE: 1 PETER 5:6-11
“(6) Humble yourselves under Gods mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. (7) Cast all your cares on him because he cares for you. (8) Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. (9) Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings. (10) And the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself make you strong, firm, and steadfast. (11) To Him be the power forever and ever. Amen.”
WHO ARE WE?
HOG MOB is a communal fellowship family governed by God’s Word under the supreme authority and Lordship of Jesus Christ. We believe God is Holy and man is wicked at heart due to his sin nature. We also believe that the only hope man has to be reconciled to God, as well as overcome his sin-nature is found in a relationship with Jesus. Our highest priority is delivering this message to a lost and dying world by engaging our cultures and communities with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We believe this must be done not just with mere words, but through a life lived in dedication to Christ by the power of His Spirit.
THE GOSPEL
In short, the Gospel is the good news of God’s love and grace towards mankind despite our rebellion against him. The Gospel states that all humanity has broken God’s LAW. The result of this is that mankind is currently under the curse of sin. This has left him morally fallen, spiritually dead and by nature he is an enemy of God. Left to his own devices mankind is doomed to be held accountable by God’s standard of justice and cast from God’s HOLY presence for eternity into the torment of God’s wrath, which is called Hell. But God, Who is both loving and just, came to Earth in the form of man, in the person of Jesus Christ, and fulfilled God’s Law by living the sinless life we are supposed to live, as well as dying a sacrificial death on our behalf. Because he is devine as well as without sin, Death could not keep him and Jesus was raised from death by the Holy Spirit 3 days after his crucifixion. Jesus also appeared to his followers and gave them authority and power over sin and darkness, as well as commanded them to share the truth about Him with the entire World.
It is because of the righteous blood that Jesus has shed on our behalf that those who put their faith in Christ and repent of their sins can be reconciled to God and are promised eternal life. Jesus has also tasked all those who believe in him with bringing heaven to earth by spreading the good news of the Gospel and living according to the spirit. This enables and equips God’s children to be able to conquer any opposition that may raise up against the Kingdom of God. It is our job to take dominion over all we see for the Glory of God and to spread the Gospel as much as we can.
