Praying With Violence

Praying With Violence

Pastor Jack draws from Acts 4 to teach believers how to participate in powerful prayer meetings with spiritual violence. He explains that the kingdom of heaven allows for violence?not physical activism, but a forceful spiritual breaking into the realm of darkness through prayer, following Jesus' example of rending the heavens open at His baptism. The early church prayed with boldness, lifted voices in unity, called for miraculous signs, and experienced a Holy Spirit shake-up that brought fresh filling, open witness, practical love, and divine purity to the body of Christ.
Unlearning the World’s Teaching, Pt. 2

Unlearning the World’s Teaching, Pt. 2

In this teaching from the Men's Leadership Training Seminar, Pastor Jack continues exploring how Jesus discipled unlearned men by teaching them to relate truth to everyday life. He examines how Jesus balanced spiritual intensity with social involvement, taught His disciples about spiritual authority while grounding them in relationship with God, and created in them an identity based not on comparison or competition, but on who God made them to be. Pastor Jack challenges men to grow in discernment, learn balance in ministry, and engage in spiritual warfare through prayer and fasting.
Unlearning the World?  Teaching, Pt. 1

Unlearning the World? Teaching, Pt. 1

Pastor Jack draws from episodes in the Gospels to address how Jesus "unlearned" His disciples? helping them discern between worldly patterns of thought and Kingdom thinking. He walks through several occasions where Jesus corrected the disciples' assumptions, teaching them that righteousness doesn't guarantee being right, that no group has it all, and that maturity never exempts us from accepting the immature. Pastor Jack calls the men to a deeper discipleship, urging them to cultivate attitudes shaped by Jesus rather than conventional wisdom.
Our Hands, His Power Unveiled; Laying On of Hands, Pt. 2

Our Hands, His Power Unveiled; Laying On of Hands, Pt. 2

In this message, Pastor Jack explores the biblical foundation for the laying on of hands, drawing especially from the Old Testament background that the early church would have used. He unpacks a fascinating connection between the Hebrew word for "horns" and the manifestation of God's power through hands, showing how the same word describes rays of light, anointing, worship, warfare, and mercy? all converging in the ministry of Jesus and now flowing through believers' hands.
Laying On of Hands, Pt. 1

Laying On of Hands, Pt. 1

Pastor Jack explores the biblical doctrine of the laying on of hands, drawing from Hebrews 6:1-3 to show how this practice was considered a foundational teaching in the early church. He traces Jesus' ministry of healing and blessing through touch in the Gospels, demonstrates how the apostles continued this ministry in the book of Acts, and challenges believers to recognize that their hands have been redeemed through Christ's crucifixion to minister His life and power to others. Pastor Jack emphasizes that the laying on of hands is not merely ritual, but a vital means through which God's life, healing, and authority flow to meet human need.
