The Way to Give Wisely

The Way to Give Wisely

Pastor Jack draws from the visit of the wise men to the Christ child to teach about presenting meaningful spiritual gifts to Jesus at Christmas. He explores how gold represents giving our best in service and finances, frankincense represents worship offered in spirit and truth, and myrrh symbolizes reckoning ourselves dead to sin and alive to God through identification with Christ's death and resurrection. Pastor Jack calls the congregation to intercede for nations, as several members share how God has assigned them specific countries to pray for in spiritual warfare.
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.
Blessed Are the Peacemakers

Blessed Are the Peacemakers

Pastor Jack draws from Isaiah's prophecy of the Prince of Peace and Jesus' teaching on peacemakers to reveal that believers are called to be "princes of peace"?offspring of Christ who actively rule and make peace happen. He teaches that peacemaking is not passive but requires spiritual authority to order, establish, and support broken situations through judgment (deliverance) and justice (righteousness), illustrating this with a recent ministry experience of bringing restoration to a marriage devastated by adultery and spiritual blindness.
The Ghost of Christmas Past

The Ghost of Christmas Past

Pastor Jack explores the theme of hope in the midst of trials, drawing from the Old Testament prophecies of the coming Messiah. He teaches that in seasons of difficulty, God speaks promises that seem impossible?like a virgin conceiving or a branch springing from a stump?to sustain His people through darkness. Pastor Jack emphasizes that just as the Holy Spirit gave Israel hope through prophecies of Emmanuel and the Branch, believers today can stand firm in trials by declaring the name of Jesus.
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.
