How to Establish the Kingdom

How to Establish the Kingdom

Pastor Jack teaches from Acts 1:1-9 on the practical ways believers can move into situations and establish the ruling authority of Jesus Christ. Using the disciples' question about when the kingdom would be restored, he explains seven principles for kingdom establishment, emphasizing listening to the Holy Spirit, using spiritual weapons (the blood of Jesus, His name, God's word, and the Holy Spirit), and taking bold action in faith—even when it seems unconventional by worldly standards.
Care and Feeding of a Spiritual Mind, Romans #22

Care and Feeding of a Spiritual Mind, Romans #22

Pastor Jack explores the key to spirit-filled living through Romans 8:5-9, focusing on what it means to be spiritually minded. He explains that spiritual-mindedness is not merely intellectual but a deep "gut-level" orientation of the heart, nourished by reading God's Word, praying in the Spirit, fellowship with believers, and following after the things of the Spirit. Drawing on the law of seedtime and harvest, Pastor Jack teaches that consistently sowing to the Spirit guarantees spiritual growth and abundant life.
Beginning in the Spirit, Romans #20

Beginning in the Spirit, Romans #20

Pastor Jack teaches on Romans 8:1-4, unpacking the liberating truth that believers are not condemned to be perpetually dragged down by the law of sin and death. Drawing from the contrast between Romans 7's struggle and Romans 8's freedom, he explains how the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus makes it possible for believers to "fly" spiritually rather than remain earthbound by the flesh. Pastor Jack emphasizes that Spirit-filled living begins with three foundational elements modeled by Jesus: new birth, water baptism, and receiving the fullness of the Holy Spirit.
Confession of Sin: A Gateway to the Holy Spirit Healing the Personality, Nehemiah #2

Confession of Sin: A Gateway to the Holy Spirit Healing the Personality, Nehemiah #2

Pastor Jack draws from the book of Nehemiah to teach about the restoration of the human personality after salvation. He explains that while the temple in Jerusalem was restored (representing the restored spirit), the walls remained broken down—a picture of believers whose spirits are alive but whose souls (mind, emotions, will) still bear the rubble of their past. Pastor Jack presents Nehemiah as a picture of the Holy Spirit, the Comforter who comes to lead us in rebuilding the walls of our personality through confession, prayer in the Spirit, and the edifying work of God's presence.
A Letter to a People on the Way, Pt. 2, Romans #2

A Letter to a People on the Way, Pt. 2, Romans #2

Pastor Jack teaches from Romans chapter 1 in this second message from his series on Romans. He explains that Paul's objective in writing Romans was not merely to present doctrine, but to help believers enter into the ministry God has for them as saints. Drawing from Paul's stated purpose of imparting spiritual gifts and establishing the Roman church in ministry, Pastor Jack unpacks how every believer is called to function as a ministering member of the body of Christ, with unique abilities genetically inherited in the spiritual realm through new birth.
