The Spirit of Truth and the Spirit of Error, Pt. 5

The Spirit of Truth and the Spirit of Error, Pt. 5

Pastor Jack draws from Deuteronomy 18 and 1 Samuel 28 to expose the dangers of occult practices and familiar spirits in a generation increasingly drawn to darkness. He unpacks the story of Saul and the witch of Endor, explaining why believers must completely avoid necromancy, divination, witchcraft, and all forms of spiritual dabbling—not out of superstitious fear, but out of obedience to God. Pastor Jack calls the church to walk in the light of the Holy Spirit, stay grounded in Scripture, and recognize that true spiritual contact comes only through Jesus Christ and the Spirit of truth.
The Responsibility of Sonship

The Responsibility of Sonship

Pastor Jack teaches on the responsibility of sonship, emphasizing that believers must learn to exercise their authority as sons and daughters of God by asking the Father for their needs. Drawing from Matthew 7 and other passages, he explains that being a son of God involves not just receiving authority, but actively responding to the Father through prayer, asking boldly, and sustaining requests with hopeful praise. Pastor Jack challenges the congregation to move beyond spiritual infancy and embrace the responsibilities that come with their identity as God's children.
A Letter to a People on the Way, Pt. 1, Romans #1

A Letter to a People on the Way, Pt. 1, Romans #1

Pastor Jack introduces a year-long study through the Book of Romans, inviting the congregation to see it not as a heavy theological burden but as a personal letter from the Holy Spirit to believers on their journey. He emphasizes that the gospel originates entirely from God—its source, authority, and power all flow from Him—and that the epistle aims not only to establish believers in their relationship with God but also to mature them in ministry. Pastor Jack draws parallels between the Roman church and the Church on the Way, encouraging the congregation to be established in both message and ministry through the study ahead.
Body Ministry: A Need to Exercise

Body Ministry: A Need to Exercise

Pastor Jack teaches from 1 Corinthians 12 on the ministry of the body of Christ, emphasizing that every member has a God-given ministry. He explains how the entire Godhead cooperates in equipping believers: the Father gives grace and faith for ministry, Jesus gives leadership gifts to develop the body, and the Holy Spirit gives gifts to empower each person's calling. Pastor Jack warns against the error of the Nicolaitans—creating a hierarchy that divides clergy from laity—and challenges believers to discover and exercise their individual ministries within the local church.
Handling Temptation

Handling Temptation

Pastor Jack explores Jesus' temptation in the wilderness, showing how the Holy Spirit leads believers into seasons of testing not to destroy them but to refine their character. He teaches that God never abandons us in temptation, promising that no trial will exceed what we can bear, and that walking in the fullness of the Holy Spirit and living in the Word of God are essential weapons for overcoming spiritual assault.
