One Baptism

One Baptism

One Baptism

by | Jun 27, 2026

In this message from a Wednesday evening service in December 1977, Pastor Jack explores the concept of "one baptism" from Ephesians 4:5 and how it encompasses three distinct baptisms: baptism into the body of Christ by the Holy Spirit at salvation, water baptism as an act of obedience and public declaration, and baptism in the Holy Spirit for empowerment and witness. Pastor Jack draws from multiple Scriptures to show how these three baptisms form a unified whole, each representing a progressive dimension of entry into the life of Jesus Christ.
How to Handle Fear of Violence

How to Handle Fear of Violence

by | Jun 27, 2026

Pastor Jack addresses the growing fear of violence gripping his city in December 1977, prompted by specific incidents affecting members of his own family and congregation. Drawing from Psalm 91, he teaches practical steps for handling fear: confronting it honestly before God, identifying its demonic source, specifying the exact fear, and standing on God's promises. He illustrates these principles through a tender account of reading Psalm 91 with his nine-year-old daughter who was afraid at bedtime, showing how Scripture and worship displace fear with faith.
One Faith – The Gift/A Gift

One Faith – The Gift/A Gift

by | Jun 27, 2026

Pastor Jack explores the tension between unity and diversity in the body of Christ, focusing on the phrase "one faith" from Ephesians 4. He distinguishes between "the gift" of faith?the foundational capacity God gives every person to believe, culminating in salvation?and "a gift" of faith?a specific spiritual gift the Holy Spirit distributes for particular situations. Pastor Jack emphasizes that true faith involves both believing in the heart and confessing with the mouth, and warns against mechanical repetition divorced from genuine Spirit-quickened conviction.
There Is One Lord

There Is One Lord

by | Jun 27, 2026

Pastor Jack draws from Ephesians 4 to explore the meaning of "one Lord" in the life of the believer. He teaches that Jesus is both our Commander?calling us to obedience and accountability?and our Lover, who kneels to wash our feet and deliver us from bondage. Through personal testimony and clear biblical teaching, Pastor Jack challenges the church to embrace the balanced lordship of Christ: neither legalistic condemnation nor sloppy grace, but a dynamic union of authority and love that leads to freedom.
Your Feet Shod With Peace

Your Feet Shod With Peace

by | Jun 27, 2026

Pastor Jack teaches on spiritual warfare and the importance of standing firm in God's peace. Drawing from Ephesians 6:15, he explains that having our feet "shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace" means standing on ground already prepared by God?not something we create through our own effort or bold declarations. Using the dramatic true story of a woman in the 1964 Alaska earthquake, Pastor Jack illustrates how genuine peace comes from turning our hearts to God's promises in the midst of life's cataclysms, reminding us that our strength in spiritual battle flows from knowing we are completely united with Christ.
