How to Deal With the Flesh

How to Deal With the Flesh

Pastor Jack draws from the life of Abraham to teach how believers must deal with the flesh when pursuing God's will. Through the account of Hagar and Ishmael, he shows how human effort cannot fulfill divine promise, and explains that the flesh is dealt with through reasserting God's promises, the cutting power of the cross, and the breath of the Holy Spirit. He challenges listeners to stop begging for the flesh to survive and to wait on the Lord for transformation.
Learning to Walk in the Dark

Learning to Walk in the Dark

Pastor Jack draws from the life of Abraham in Genesis 15 to explore what happens when God leads believers into deeper understanding through seasons of darkness and uncertainty. He teaches that God often allows periods where we can't see how His promises will unfold—not to abandon us, but to deepen our trust and reveal more of His character. Through Abraham's experience of sacrifice, spiritual attack, and a "horror of great darkness," Pastor Jack shows that settled faith in God's word—even when nothing seems to be happening—becomes the very power that guarantees transformation.
Led by the Spirit, Pt. 1, Romans #25

Led by the Spirit, Pt. 1, Romans #25

In this message, Pastor Jack draws a powerful parallel between the believer's Spirit-filled walk and Israel's exodus from Egypt. He addresses the common question of how to be led by the Spirit, teaching that God commits to lead all His children—not based on their performance, but on His faithfulness. Using Israel's journey through the wilderness, Pastor Jack shows how the glory cloud never departed despite their murmuring, and how God led them through seemingly impossible circumstances to teach them victory over their adversaries.

Spiritual Life

Spiritual Life

Pastor Jack draws from Ephesians to teach on the reality of the spiritual world, emphasizing that the material world we see is secondary to the spiritual realm that created it. In this Easter message, Pastor Jack explores how the resurrection of Jesus opens the door to fulfilled living when we understand that true life flows from God's Word and Spirit—not from external, physical things. He challenges listeners to draw on God's power from the inside out, living in alignment with the Word that brought all creation into being.
