Learning to Defend Against the Adversary, Pt. 1

Learning to Defend Against the Adversary, Pt. 1

Pastor Jack continues his series on spiritual warfare, focusing on how believers can defend themselves against Satan's attacks. Drawing from Ephesians 6, he unpacks the armor of God, giving special attention to the girdle of truth and the breastplate of righteousness. He teaches that truthfulness in speech protects our spiritual authority, while understanding our righteous standing before God shields our hearts from condemnation and empowers us to fight confidently.
The Kingdom of God, Pt. 1

The Kingdom of God, Pt. 1

Pastor Jack draws from Matthew 3 and 4 to introduce a systematic study on the Kingdom of God. He clarifies that the Kingdom is not merely heaven or institutional Christianity, but the rulership of God breaking into this present world through anointed, Spirit-filled believers. Pastor Jack teaches that just as Jesus was born of the Spirit, baptized in water, and filled with the Holy Spirit, believers are called to the same three-fold baptism that authorizes them to function as "kingdom people"—bringing God's rule into the darkness, setting captives free, and overcoming the dominion of Satan.
Learning to Respond to God’s Presence

Learning to Respond to God’s Presence

Pastor Jack teaches from Genesis 18 on how to respond to God's manifest presence, using Abraham's encounter with the Lord as a model for worship. He emphasizes that when God appears, the proper response is to bow, invite His presence to stay, and minister to Him through worship and sacrifice. The message culminates in a foundation-raising service for the church building, where Pastor Jack connects the physical construction to God's work of building His spiritual temple—the church—and calls the congregation to praise and faith as they trust God for provision.
How to Minister the Love of God to Others

How to Minister the Love of God to Others

Pastor Jack draws from the account of Jesus washing His disciples' feet in John 13 to teach on how believers can minister God's love to one another. He emphasizes that the power and blessing of a church flows not from particular practices or traditions, but from the authentic flow of God's love among His people. Walking through Jesus' deliberate actions—rising from supper, laying aside His garments, girding Himself as a servant, pouring water in a basin, and washing their feet—Pastor Jack unpacks practical principles for loving ministry that goes beyond superficial interaction to genuine, humble service.
Learning to Walk in the Dark

Learning to Walk in the Dark

Pastor Jack draws from the life of Abraham in Genesis 15 to explore what happens when God leads believers into deeper understanding through seasons of darkness and uncertainty. He teaches that God often allows periods where we can't see how His promises will unfold—not to abandon us, but to deepen our trust and reveal more of His character. Through Abraham's experience of sacrifice, spiritual attack, and a "horror of great darkness," Pastor Jack shows that settled faith in God's word—even when nothing seems to be happening—becomes the very power that guarantees transformation.
