How to Handle Fear of Violence

by | Jun 27, 2026

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 Woman’s Place in Ministry

by | Jun 27, 2026

Pastor Jack addresses practical questions about a woman's place and role in the church and home, focusing on commonly misunderstood passages about women keeping silence. He carefully expounds 1 Corinthians 14:34 and 1 Timothy 2:8-12, explaining that these verses address a woman's relationship with her husband rather than prohibiting all women from teaching or speaking. The majority of the session consists of Pastor Jack fielding questions from women about submission, correcting husbands, handling difficult domestic situations, and navigating complex marital dynamics with grace and wisdom.
Releasing Women for Ministry

Releasing Women for Ministry

by | Jun 27, 2026

In this Tuesday morning women's seminar from November 1977, Pastor Jack draws from 1 Corinthians 11 and 1 Timothy 2 to address what the Bible teaches about women's place in ministry. He carefully examines passages often used to restrict women, explaining the original Greek meanings and cultural context to show that God's design for headship and order is meant for protection and release, not domination or limitation. Pastor Jack encourages the women to understand that biblical submission doesn't place a lid on their spiritual potential?God wants every woman to become the full flower of what she was created to be in His kingdom.
Walking Worthily

Walking Worthily

by | Jun 27, 2026

Pastor Jack draws from Ephesians 4 to explore the call to "walk worthy" of our calling in Christ. He unpacks the true meaning of worthiness?not as something we earn, but as recognizing what God has already declared about us and learning to let that flow through our daily lives. Pastor Jack examines three essential character traits for this walk: lowliness (humility of mind), meekness, and long-suffering, showing how genuine humility involves accepting who God made us to be and trusting His timing rather than striving in our own strength.
Victory Through Singing

Victory Through Singing

by | Jun 27, 2026

Pastor Jack draws from the Song of Moses in Exodus 15 to teach about singing as the pathway to victory and deliverance. Connecting the historical deliverance through the Red Sea to the believer's baptism and triumph over the enemy through Christ's resurrection, he emphasizes that praise and worship break spiritual opposition and release God's power. The congregation learns and practices a new song based on the Song of Moses, celebrating that Jesus conquered through the cross and believers walk in present victory.
