Defining Prayer Correctly

Defining Prayer Correctly

In this message, Pastor Jack explores the true nature of biblical prayer, distinguishing it from common misconceptions. Drawing from Hebrews 12, he explains that prayer is not wishing, wandering, or wondering, but rather a direct approach to the Father through Jesus Christ. Pastor Jack teaches that we come not to Mount Sinai under law, but to Mount Zion under grace, where we receive a kingdom by pressing into God's presence through effective, faith-filled prayer.
Keeping the Day of Atonement

Keeping the Day of Atonement

In this message, Pastor Jack explores the significance of Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, for believers today. Drawing from Leviticus 23 and Hebrews 10, he explains how the ancient sacrificial system pointed forward to Christ's perfect sacrifice on the cross. Pastor Jack teaches that while the Passover lamb represents deliverance from sin's bondage, the Day of Atonement represents the satisfaction of God's righteousness through Christ's blood, enabling believers to walk in freedom, confidence, and full acceptance before the Father.
An Appointment at Gilgal

An Appointment at Gilgal

Pastor Jack teaches on the distinction between being anointed and keeping your appointment as a king in God's kingdom. Drawing from Saul's early obedience and his directive to meet Samuel at Gilgal, Pastor Jack explores the vital principle of heart circumcision? ?the cutting away of fleshly patterns in how we listen, speak, and set our priorities. He challenges believers to come to their "appointment at Gilgal," where the Holy Spirit sanctifies and prepares us for effective rulership in Christ.
The Meaning of Prayer and Supplication

The Meaning of Prayer and Supplication

Pastor Jack explores the meaning of prayer and supplication, drawing from the early church's practice in Acts 2:42. He explains that prayer is approaching God on the basis of His grace, while supplication involves binding and loosing? ?entering into consultation with God to discover His will in heaven and declare it on earth. Through vivid teaching and congregational interaction, Pastor Jack emphasizes that effective prayer brings the peace of God and positions believers to control through divine power what is uncontrollable in human terms.
Men Who Shape History

Men Who Shape History

In this message, Pastor Jack traces the development of the Church on the Way, drawing powerful parallels to the New Testament church at Antioch. He shares how God has raised up ministries from their congregation? ?like the Come Together musical and Pat Boone's outreach? ?that have become known worldwide, fulfilling God's word that ministries would go out from them better known than the church itself. Pastor Jack also describes a season of personal seeking and testing regarding possible relocation to Reno, and how God used this to free him from dependence on the church's blessing rather than on Christ Himself, leading to new directives for expanding ministry and raising up elders.
