The Triumph of the Cross

The Triumph of the Cross

Pastor Jack teaches on the power of confession?not as merely acknowledging guilt, but as declaring what is true according to God's Word. Drawing from Colossians 2:13-15, he explores how the cross of Christ triumphs over three forces that would limit our victory: the record of our past, the fact of our sinful nature, and the real power of darkness. Pastor Jack invites the congregation to partake of communion as a tangible way to receive and apply Christ's specific triumph to the areas of bondage, temptation, and struggle in their lives.
How to Tell Christmas Time

How to Tell Christmas Time

Pastor Jack draws from the Christmas narrative and Isaiah 9 to explore the promise that God's jealous commitment ensures our fulfillment. He explains that the Hebrew word for "zeal" carries the meaning of jealousy?not the toxic kind, but God's intolerance of anything that would hinder our mutual fulfillment with Him. Through personal stories of congregants facing discouragement, fear, and loss, Pastor Jack illustrates how we come to know the names of Christ?Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace?only through the very trials that threaten to overwhelm us.
Learning to Think Like Jesus, Pt. 3

Learning to Think Like Jesus, Pt. 3

In this Men's Growth Seminar, Pastor Jack unpacks the profound theological concept of the kenosis?Christ's voluntary emptying of Himself to become fully human. He teaches that Jesus didn't function as Superman in a man's body, but as sinless man who laid aside His divine prerogatives to show what God can accomplish through surrendered humanity. Pastor Jack also defines the unique purpose of Men's Growth Seminars: not mere fellowship or inspiration, but reproducing mature men who minister Christ's life to others.
The Letter on “Going Through”

The Letter on “Going Through”

In this message, Pastor Jack draws from observations of autumn's beauty in New England and his own backyard to explore a profound spiritual truth: the necessity of dying to self in order to experience resurrection life. Using the letter to the church at Smyrna, Pastor Jack teaches that some trials have no way out except through, and that faithful endurance?a willingness to die gracefully to our own will?brings forth the crown of life. He shares a powerful personal testimony of a seven-month spiritual battle to illustrate how God's purpose in long-term trials produces weight and force of Christ's life in believers.
Genesis 20-25

Genesis 20-25

Pastor Jack teaches on Genesis chapters 20 through 25, continuing his series on the book of Genesis with a focus on the concluding portions of Abraham's life. He draws out how God was instructing Israel through their forefather Abraham, showing them they were a chosen people with roots in the promised land. Pastor Jack emphasizes the profound prophetic picture of Abraham offering Isaac on Mount Moriah, revealing God's heart in providing salvation through His only begotten Son.
