The Purpose of the Promise, Pt. 2

Pastor Jack teaches on the purpose of the Holy Spirit's promise in believers' lives, drawing from Ephesians 1:13-14. In this message, Pastor Jack explores how being sealed with the Holy Spirit equips believers not only for personal blessing but for distributing spiritual gifts and engaging in powerful, persistent prayer that shapes history. He challenges the congregation to move beyond viewing Spirit-baptism as merely a personal experience and to embrace their calling to intercessory supplication and the operation of spiritual gifts.

Anointed? Who Is Your Teacher?

Pastor Jack draws from 1 John 2 to teach on a vital dimension of the anointing often overlooked: being anointed to be taught. He explains that the Holy Spirit doesn't merely anoint us to teach or minister, but anoints believers to receive truth from God's Word with increasing depth and discernment. Pastor Jack outlines four facets of the hour of anointing?ruling the nations, declaring the gospel, rejoicing with the oil of gladness, and being taught?emphasizing that Spirit-filled believers must be both grounded in Scripture and led by the Spirit to walk in wisdom, avoid error, and manifest Christ's victory over darkness.
