Defining the Grace of God

Defining the Grace of God

In this message, Pastor Jack explores the expanded meaning of God's grace?not merely as unmerited favor at salvation, but as the operational power of God that brings His work in us to completion. Drawing from Zechariah's word to Zerubbabel about finishing the temple, Pastor Jack teaches that we are called to speak "grace, grace" over unfinished areas of our lives and insurmountable obstacles, trusting the Holy Spirit to break through where our own strength fails.

Exodus 11

Exodus 11

Pastor Jack teaches from Exodus 11 as the Israelites stand on the brink of their final plague and deliverance from Egypt. He explores the question of why God's process of working freedom in our lives often takes so long, identifying several reasons: God is dealing with others in our relational network, He is accumulating demonstrations of His power over the "gods" of this world, He is weaning us from worldly mentalities, and He is building our identity as His special people. Pastor Jack reassures listeners that God has appointed a day of deliverance for every trial, even when we cannot see it.

How to Pray When You Don? Know How to Pray

Pastor Jack teaches on how to pray effectively when we don't know what or how to pray. Drawing from Romans 8:26-27, he explains that the Holy Spirit helps us through intercession with groanings that cannot be uttered, enabling us to pray with divine wisdom beyond our own understanding. Pastor Jack explores the Hebrew concept of intercession as reaching all the way to God's intended boundaries for people's lives, and encourages the congregation to pray in the Spirit for specific people they care about but don't know how to help.
