How to Live in Abundance Without Guilt

How to Live in Abundance Without Guilt

Pastor Jack teaches on how to live in God's abundance without guilt, drawing from the fall of Lucifer in Ezekiel 28. He explains how Satan perverted God's gifts of beauty, wealth, and power, and how believers often react by either pursuing worldly excess or living in legalistic poverty. Pastor Jack calls the church to reject Satan's tactics, embrace God's generous provision, and become a people of worship who allow abundance to flow through them for His glory.
How to Handle Fear of Violence

How to Handle Fear of Violence

Pastor Jack addresses the growing fear of violence gripping his city in December 1977, prompted by specific incidents affecting members of his own family and congregation. Drawing from Psalm 91, he teaches practical steps for handling fear: confronting it honestly before God, identifying its demonic source, specifying the exact fear, and standing on God's promises. He illustrates these principles through a tender account of reading Psalm 91 with his nine-year-old daughter who was afraid at bedtime, showing how Scripture and worship displace fear with faith.
The Wisdom of Giving Thanks ? 1977

The Wisdom of Giving Thanks ? 1977

Pastor Jack draws from Psalm 122 and current events in the Middle East to explore the wisdom of giving thanks and intercessory prayer. In this Thanksgiving Eve service from 1977, he examines the prophetic significance of Egyptian President Anwar Sadat's historic visit to Jerusalem, calling believers to pray strategically for peace in the region, for the United States to stand firm with Israel, and for discernment as prophetic events unfold. The message culminates in worship and prayer ministry, emphasizing that thanksgiving keeps people spiritually "straight" and aligned with God's purposes.
The Breastplate of Righteousness

The Breastplate of Righteousness

Pastor Jack teaches from Ephesians 6 on the breastplate of righteousness as part of the believer's spiritual armor. He explains that righteousness is not about our own performance or good deeds, but rather Christ's righteousness attributed to us through faith. Drawing on the imagery of Roman armor, Pastor Jack shows how worship and understanding God's love form the foundation for effective spiritual warfare, enabling believers to stand confidently against the enemy's accusations and bring God's rightness into wrong situations through prayer.
Developing Dimensions of Spirit-Filled Living

Developing Dimensions of Spirit-Filled Living

Pastor Jack explores the third chapter of Ephesians, focusing on developing dimensions of true Spirit-filled living. Using vivid illustrations of palm trees, the Empire State Building, and reservoirs, he emphasizes that being filled with the Holy Spirit isn't merely a one-time experience but should lead to ongoing stability and spiritual growth. Pastor Jack teaches that God desires believers to be rooted and grounded, strengthened with might by His Spirit in the inner man, so they can become resources of God's love and power to others.
