A Wise Father?  Advice

A Wise Father? Advice

Pastor Jack draws from Joshua's charge to the people of Israel, calling fathers? and all believers? to make a decisive commitment: "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." He shares a personal story of how his own father returned to the Lord in 1948 and placed a plaque with this verse in their living room, a commitment that shaped Jack's entire family. Pastor Jack challenges men to write their commitment on paper and raise a physical stone as a monument to their decision, urging the congregation to reject the gods of heredity, captivity, and society, and instead incline their hearts toward the living God.
Arising to Possess the Land

Arising to Possess the Land

Pastor Jack draws from the opening chapter of Joshua to launch a series on possessing the land God has promised. In this foundational message, he teaches that just as Joshua led Israel to conquer and possess their inheritance, Jesus? our true Joshua? leads believers into ongoing victory and conquest in their personal lives and as a congregation. Pastor Jack calls the church to take a stance, to arise from passivity and move forward into all that God has ordained, emphasizing that wherever the sole of our feet tread, God has already given it to us.
Overcoming the Age of the Occult

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.
Can God Put Together What Man Has Split Asunder?

Can God Put Together What Man Has Split Asunder?

Pastor Jack draws from Matthew 19 to address the sensitive and often controversial topic of divorce and remarriage. He teaches that while God's original design was for lifelong marriage and that divorce is never His highest will, there is hope and healing for those whose marriages have failed. Pastor Jack emphasizes that through the power of the Holy Spirit, broken marriages can be restored, and those who have been divorced can experience wholeness and even the possibility of remarriage when properly guided by godly counsel and a local church body.
The Meaning of Intercession

The Meaning of Intercession

Pastor Jack draws from both Old and New Testament Scriptures to unpack the biblical meaning of intercession, revealing it as far more than passive petition. Through careful examination of the Hebrew and Greek terms, he shows how intercessory prayer extends God's intended boundaries in people's lives, executes the King's will against darkness, and responds to the Holy Spirit's promptings when believers come to mind? ?often seemingly by chance but divinely orchestrated to strike the mark with power.
