On Lifting Up of Hands to the Lord

On Lifting Up of Hands to the Lord

Pastor Jack explores the biblical practice of lifting hands in worship, addressing common resistance and misconceptions. Drawing from both Old and New Testament passages, he establishes that raised hands are a scriptural expression of surrender, hunger, blessing, and spiritual openness before God. Pastor Jack shares his own journey from resistance to embracing this practice, encouraging believers to understand its power and biblical foundation.
The Rising Intensity of Evil

The Rising Intensity of Evil

Pastor Jack delivers the second message in his series "Who's Afraid of the Exorcist?" examining the film's cultural impact within a prophetic framework. He teaches that we are witnessing an unprecedented intensification of evil as Satan's kingdom matures and manifests more openly, preparing the world to worship the Antichrist. Drawing from Revelation 12 and Matthew 24, Pastor Jack equips believers to stand firm through the blood of the Lamb, the Word, and the fullness of the Holy Spirit.
The Force and the Fury: Demonic Presence and Power

The Force and the Fury: Demonic Presence and Power

In this message, Pastor Jack explores the reality of demonic presence and power in response to widespread fear and confusion surrounding the book and film "The Exorcist." Drawing from Mark 5 and other passages, he teaches on the nature and origin of demons, how people become demon-possessed versus demonically bound, and how deliverance comes through Jesus Christ. Pastor Jack emphasizes that believers need not fear, but should understand spiritual warfare and minister truth to those in bondage.
Men Resisting the World Image

Men Resisting the World Image

Pastor Jack draws from the creation account and the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego to explore God's desire to restore His image in men and resist the world's pressure to conform them to its mold. Speaking at the January 1974 men's retreat, he challenges scores of men to prepare themselves to become elders in the body of Christ, addressing patterns from the past, job, marriage, home, and schedule that need transformation. Pastor Jack emphasizes that true ministry flows not from what we do, but from who we are becoming as the Holy Spirit shapes Christ's image in us.
The Kingdom of God, Pt. 1

The Kingdom of God, Pt. 1

Pastor Jack draws from Matthew 3 and 4 to introduce a systematic study on the Kingdom of God. He clarifies that the Kingdom is not merely heaven or institutional Christianity, but the rulership of God breaking into this present world through anointed, Spirit-filled believers. Pastor Jack teaches that just as Jesus was born of the Spirit, baptized in water, and filled with the Holy Spirit, believers are called to the same three-fold baptism that authorizes them to function as "kingdom people"—bringing God's rule into the darkness, setting captives free, and overcoming the dominion of Satan.
