The Pre-Christmas Carol

The Pre-Christmas Carol

In this message, Pastor Jack explores the song Mary sang after Elizabeth confirmed the miraculous promise God had given her ? a song Pastor Jack calls "The Pre-Christmas Carol." Drawing from the Magnificat in Luke 1, he teaches on the vital principles that sustain believers during the waiting period between receiving God's promise and seeing its fulfillment. Pastor Jack emphasizes how our spirit rejoices when God speaks, but our soul (mind and emotions) often battles doubt and fear, and he shows how Mary's song reveals three anchors for faith: God's holy person, His invincible power, and His faithful promises.
Unlearning the World?  Teaching, Pt. 1

Unlearning the World? Teaching, Pt. 1

Pastor Jack draws from episodes in the Gospels to address how Jesus "unlearned" His disciples? helping them discern between worldly patterns of thought and Kingdom thinking. He walks through several occasions where Jesus corrected the disciples' assumptions, teaching them that righteousness doesn't guarantee being right, that no group has it all, and that maturity never exempts us from accepting the immature. Pastor Jack calls the men to a deeper discipleship, urging them to cultivate attitudes shaped by Jesus rather than conventional wisdom.
Laying On of Hands, Pt. 1

Laying On of Hands, Pt. 1

Pastor Jack explores the biblical doctrine of the laying on of hands, drawing from Hebrews 6:1-3 to show how this practice was considered a foundational teaching in the early church. He traces Jesus' ministry of healing and blessing through touch in the Gospels, demonstrates how the apostles continued this ministry in the book of Acts, and challenges believers to recognize that their hands have been redeemed through Christ's crucifixion to minister His life and power to others. Pastor Jack emphasizes that the laying on of hands is not merely ritual, but a vital means through which God's life, healing, and authority flow to meet human need.
Answering the Attack on Femininity and Womanhood

Answering the Attack on Femininity and Womanhood

Pastor Jack teaches at the Women's Retreat on how to answer the spiritual attack on femininity and womanhood. Drawing from Jesus' temptation in the wilderness, he explores how Satan challenges our God-given identity and how believers must resist the world's disorder by trusting in God's promises of provision, authority through submission, and genuine relationship rather than pursuing pleasure, power, and prestige through worldly means.
Answering the Attack on Femininity and Womanhood

Answering the Attack on Femininity and Womanhood

Pastor Jack explores the concept of Jesus as our kinsman redeemer, drawing from the story of Ruth and Boaz. He emphasizes Christ's total identification with humanity through the incarnation and baptism, and how believers can come under His covering for forgiveness, righteousness, and power. The message includes practical teaching on women's ministries at the church, outlining four ministry phases: teaching, fellowship, service, and special events.
