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.
New Testament Giving

New Testament Giving

In this message, Pastor Jack explores the biblical principles of New Testament giving, demonstrating that tithing remains foundational—not as legalistic obligation, but as a platform for entering the measureless freedom and joy of giving out of God's abundant provision. He teaches from Acts 2 and Luke 12, showing how God invites believers to move beyond the basic tithe into generous offerings that flow from hearts transformed by grace. Pastor Jack emphasizes that we cannot out-give God, and that learning to give liberally opens the floodgates of His bounty toward us.
Problems in the Exercise of Spiritual Language, Pt. 1

Problems in the Exercise of Spiritual Language, Pt. 1

In this message, Pastor Jack explores the practical dimensions of Spirit-filled life, focusing on problems that can arise with the spiritual language. He draws from Peter's walking on water in Matthew 14 to illustrate both entering into the baptism of the Holy Spirit and learning to walk in it. Pastor Jack addresses common misconceptions about speaking in tongues, emphasizing that it's a volitional act involving the believer's mind and vocal equipment—not an ecstatic trance—and encourages believers to develop this gift as part of their devotional life.
Taking Inventory on His Name

Taking Inventory on His Name

Pastor Jack draws from the closing chapters of Malachi to encourage a spirit of gratitude rooted not in circumstances, but in who God is. He highlights a remnant who "thought upon His name"—taking inventory of God's redemptive character revealed through names like Jehovah Jireh, Jehovah Rapha, and Jehovah Shalom—and shows how each finds its fulfillment in Jesus. In a season marked by thanksgiving, Pastor Jack calls believers to count their blessings in Christ and speak often to one another about His faithfulness.
