Jacqueline Hamilton, Church Mother
Fulfilling the call of Christ is all of our responsibility. When we do this we are fulfilled because we are in the father’s will.
Hello my name is Jacqueline Hamilton. I am the daughter of Lula Mae Smith-Hamilton. I am the proud mother of four beautiful daughters, grandmother of 10 amazing grandchildren and the great-grandmother of four. I am resident of South Bay, Florida. I have been employed with Okeelanta Florida Crystal Corporation for 35 years.
I entered the doors of True Vine Church in 1997, attempting to find rest for my weary soul. I found so much more. I found the love of Christ and a band of believers who are eager for the things of God. While at True Vine I have served on the Usher Board along with reaching out to the Sick and Shut-In. It has been an amazing journey.
I am truly honored to serve as mother of the True Vine family. I pray that God will continue to strengthen me and use me as he see fit.

Sowing Seed & Keeping a Good Doctrine
God gives seed to the sower: Not a variety of seed
Read Isaiah 55:10
Anybody can sow their own seeds (and of many kinds) such as wild oats, tares, and especially the seed that reaps the whirlwind. When God gives seed to a sower, the finest of wheat can be harvested as long as it falls on good ground. (Galatians 3:16)
John 7:14-18
The doctrine that I preach is not my own:
Doctrine can be defined as teaching that comes from the doctor. Not just anyone can treat a serious wound, but one who specializes in medical science can (ergo a specialized doctor can treat a special wounds). The doctor’s medicine is not his own.
God spoke to Pastor Fred telling him that the word doctrine also relates the word, “staple”. Staple can be defined as the chief commodity or food that is produced in large quantities (the main crop). In other words, it important to keep a good staple diet because it is exactly what the body needs and nothing more; But of course we all sometimes delight in excess foods that are not good for the body.
Relating back to a doctrine
Whenever good doctrine is diluted or tampered with by adding extra nonsense , it then becomes ineffective in nurturing the spirit. A daily dose of good doctrine for our human spirit is like a staple diet for the body. As mentioned before, it is exactly what the body (spirit) needs to be healthy.
