What in Heaven?  Name Can a Woman Do?

What in Heaven? Name Can a Woman Do?

In this message, Pastor Jack explores controversial passages about women in the church, particularly 1 Corinthians 14:34-35 and 1 Timothy 2:11-12. Through careful examination of the original Greek text and biblical context, Pastor Jack teaches that women have full access to all ministry offices except apostle, challenging common misconceptions while emphasizing God's order of authority. He demonstrates that the "silence" commanded refers to appropriate speech timing rather than absolute prohibition, and shows biblical evidence for women serving as pastors, teachers, evangelists, and prophets.
The Trouble With Women

The Trouble With Women

Pastor Jack explores the role of women in the church and family, beginning a series on women's ministries. Drawing from Genesis, he examines how the fall affected the man-woman relationship, addresses distorted teachings on submission and authority, and clarifies that redemption in Christ restores both men and women to equal partnership and full ministry potential. He emphasizes that biblical headship is not about suppression but protection, leadership, and release.

Overcoming the Age of the Occult

Pastor Jack draws from Isaiah 8 to address the growing influence of occult practices in 1970s culture. He traces how entertainment, education, and even financial institutions have gradually normalized astrology, witchcraft, Eastern mysticism, and other occult practices, dulling believers' spiritual discernment. Pastor Jack calls Christians to reject superstition while cultivating genuine spiritual discernment through the Holy Spirit, emphasizing that believers must learn to recognize Satan's subtle workings and ask Jesus for guidance in every area of life.

Your Pathway to Ministry as God? Man

Pastor Jack draws from 1 Timothy 3 to teach on the pathway to ministry as God's man, clarifying the biblical roles of elders and deacons. He addresses a mistake he made a year earlier? assuming the requirements for elders and deacons were similar? and explains that deacons are men being proven and developed in ministry, while elders must meet far more stringent character qualifications. Pastor Jack announces a new structure for discipleship seminars and family units in the church, designed to ensure that every member is cared for and no one is neglected in daily ministry.
Intoduction to Ministry Development

Intoduction to Ministry Development

Pastor Jack introduces a new series of elders discipleship seminars, teaching on the progression from follower to disciple to minister of Jesus. He explains that leadership in the church begins with learning to rule in four areas: yourself, your home, the church, and ultimately with Christ in His millennial kingdom. Pastor Chuck Shoemake joins him to emphasize that spiritual leadership is measured by the quality and "weightedness" of a man's character? particularly faithfulness as a "one woman man" not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually.
