One Baptism

by | Jun 27, 2026

In this message from a Wednesday evening service in December 1977, Pastor Jack explores the concept of "one baptism" from Ephesians 4:5 and how it encompasses three distinct baptisms: baptism into the body of Christ by the Holy Spirit at salvation, water baptism as an act of obedience and public declaration, and baptism in the Holy Spirit for empowerment and witness. Pastor Jack draws from multiple Scriptures to show how these three baptisms form a unified whole, each representing a progressive dimension of entry into the life of Jesus Christ.

The Danger Signs Pointing Back

Pastor Jack teaches on maintaining spiritual readiness for Christ's return, using the parable of the ten virgins and the story of Lot's wife. He emphasizes that spiritual preparedness isn't about keeping rigid lists of do's and don'ts, but about maintaining a current, vital work of the Holy Spirit in one's life through obedience to God's Word and responsive discipleship. Pastor Jack challenges the men to cultivate spiritual sensitivity in their own lives while learning to minister grace?not legalism?to others struggling with questionable practices.
One Faith – The Gift/A Gift

One Faith – The Gift/A Gift

by | Jun 27, 2026

Pastor Jack explores the tension between unity and diversity in the body of Christ, focusing on the phrase "one faith" from Ephesians 4. He distinguishes between "the gift" of faith?the foundational capacity God gives every person to believe, culminating in salvation?and "a gift" of faith?a specific spiritual gift the Holy Spirit distributes for particular situations. Pastor Jack emphasizes that true faith involves both believing in the heart and confessing with the mouth, and warns against mechanical repetition divorced from genuine Spirit-quickened conviction.

Why Some Prayers Don’t Seem to Succeed, Pt. 2

Pastor Jack teaches on barriers to effective prayer, focusing specifically on the critical role of forgiveness and reconciliation in our approach to God. Drawing from Matthew 5, he explains how harboring unforgiveness?even when we are not the offender?blocks our prayers and worship, and how God calls us to be initiators of reconciliation just as Christ was. Pastor Jack emphasizes that God will not allow us to persist in unforgiveness without consequences, and that learning the spirit of forgiveness is essential to maturity and answered prayer.

Why Some Prayers Don’t Seem to Succeed, Pt. 1

Pastor Jack explores the question of why some prayers seem to go unanswered, drawing from the disciples' failure to cast out a demon in Mark 9. He teaches that effectiveness in prayer often depends on three foundational disciplines: laying down a foundation of prayer and fasting, persisting in supplication and fasting (as illustrated by Daniel's 21-day struggle), and maintaining right relationships with others. Pastor Jack emphasizes that unanswered prayer isn't always God saying "no"?sometimes spiritual barriers must be broken through consistent spiritual discipline and reconciliation.
