The channel that broadcasts Pastor Hammond's services notes that Pastor Hammond spent most of his sermon addressing the IRS complaint filed by CREW: 

Mac Hammond spent nearly his entire hour-long sermon, which is broadcast on KARE 11, refuting allegations made by a Washington watchdog group.

That group, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics, claims the Living Word Christian Center broke federal tax laws by arranging certain lucrative financial deals for Hammond.

"I can understand why a lot of people would look at us with skepticism," Hammond said.
