The Problem of the Sabbath

The Problem of the Sabbath

Pastor Jack draws from Isaiah and Genesis to explore the often-misunderstood principle of the Sabbath. After a seven-week season away from ministry, he shares how God redefined the concept of Sabbath in his own life?not as a legalistic day of religious observance, but as a spiritual principle of resting from our own labors so the Lord can work in us what He desires. Pastor Jack teaches that Sabbath is God's gift to free us from the bondage of busyness and to remind us that we can never accomplish everything by our own hands.
How to Praise in a Crisis

How to Praise in a Crisis

In this message, Pastor Jack teaches from 2 Chronicles 20, exploring the story of King Jehoshaphat and Israel's miraculous victory over invading armies through praise and worship. Pastor Jack emphasizes that this triumph was not simply about praising God, but about a people grounded in God's Word who obeyed His prophetic direction, fasted and prayed, and responded in faith to what the Lord promised to do. He applies these principles both personally and corporately, calling the church to spiritual preparedness during a pivotal season.

God’s People Invading Satan’s America

In this powerful message from the 1976 Foursquare International Convention, Pastor Jack challenges the church to embrace its primary calling to intercessory prayer for the nation. Drawing from 2 Chronicles 7:14 and 1 Timothy 2:1-4, he unpacks the church's responsibility to pray for those in authority and to function as salt and light through Holy Spirit-empowered intercession. Pastor Jack shares prophetic words given to the Foursquare movement about being an instrument to shake America with righteousness, and calls believers to take their authority as priests and kings to bind evil and release God's purposes through sustained, strategic prayer.
The Quest for Monument Builders

The Quest for Monument Builders

Pastor Jack teaches on Joshua chapter 4, exploring God's command to build memorials from stones taken from the Jordan River. He draws from this Old Testament account to show how God desires to work tangible, physical miracles in our lives that serve as lasting testimonies to His power? whether in marriage, sexual purity, deliverance from bondage, or other areas. Pastor Jack emphasizes that true spirituality manifests in concrete, visible transformation, not just ethereal religious experience.
The Gift of Song

The Gift of Song

Pastor Jack teaches on the gift of song and its vital role in the believer's life and spiritual warfare. Drawing from 1 Chronicles 25 and numerous Psalms, he emphasizes that worship through song is central to the Christian life and that every believer? ?regardless of vocal ability? ?should engage boldly in singing praises, both with understanding and in the Spirit. Pastor Jack concludes with a powerful call to intercessory prayer against occult influences in education and the Equal Rights Amendment, demonstrating how spiritual song becomes a weapon against darkness.
