Using the story of Uriah the Hittite and other biblical examples, Pastor Jack teaches that the warrior's rations sometimes mean no rations at all, and that learning to humble ourselves through fasting releases kingdom authority.

The Night of The Rainbow

by | Jun 27, 2026

Pastor Jack shares a deeply personal revelation about God's glory dwelling upon the Church on the Way. Drawing from John 17 and Jesus' high priestly prayer, he recounts the powerful vision from January 1970 when he witnessed the visible manifestation of God's glory filling the sanctuary, and more recently, God's promise that their last Easter in the current building was approaching. On this outdoor communion service, as the congregation gathers flexibly on the church lawn, a rainbow appears overhead?a divine confirmation that God's glory goes before them, covers them, and protects them as they step into new patterns of ministry and home meetings.
