Practical Ministry for the Believer

Practical Ministry for the Believer

Practical Ministry for the Believer

by | Jun 6, 2026

Pastor Jack teaches on the vital importance of practical, everyday ministry in the life of believers. Drawing from Matthew 25 and 1 Corinthians 12-14, he challenges the congregation to move beyond spiritualized concepts of service to tangible acts of love—helping single mothers with childcare, befriending prisoners, spending time with children who lack father figures, and supporting overwhelmed spouses. Pastor Jack emphasizes that true ministry is often inconvenient and costly, but it reflects Christ's own sacrificial love and completes "that which is behind of the sufferings of Christ for His body's sake."
Preparing for Your Ministry

Preparing for Your Ministry

by | Jun 6, 2026

Pastor Jack teaches on preparing for ministry by examining the attitudes and mindset required for effective service in the body of Christ. Drawing from Romans 12:3 and Philippians 2, he emphasizes the importance of sound-minded thinking about one's calling, avoiding both false humility and grasping for position, and following Christ's example of humility and non-grasping surrender to the Father's will.
Anatomy of the Body of Christ

Anatomy of the Body of Christ

Pastor Jack teaches on the God-given structure of the church and the ministries Christ has established to build up His body. Drawing from Ephesians 4, he explains how apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers exist not to do all the ministry themselves, but to equip the saints for the work of ministry. Pastor Jack emphasizes that God has no "laymen"—every believer is called to ministry within the body of Christ, and submission to a local assembly is essential for spiritual growth and fruitfulness.
Ruined, Reconciled, and Reigning

Ruined, Reconciled, and Reigning

by | Jun 6, 2026

Pastor Jack walks through the full scope of salvation in Romans 5:6-21, showing how humanity moved from ruin under Adam's sin and death, to reconciliation through Christ's love demonstrated at the cross, and finally to reigning in life through the Holy Spirit. He emphasizes that believers are not only forgiven but anointed to rule in righteousness, bringing God's kingdom power wherever they go. The sermon concludes with extended ministry time focused on strengthening the weary through the Holy Spirit's outpouring.
The Church that Jesus Builds

The Church that Jesus Builds

by | Jun 6, 2026

Drawing from his very first sermon as pastor at the Church on the Way, Pastor Jack explores the foundational passage where Jesus declares, "I will build my church." Preaching now at the beginning of his fifth year, he unpacks four earmarks of the church Christ builds: a church that knows the whole Christ (not a fragmented view), a church where believers discover their true identity in Him, a church built by Jesus Himself (not human effort), and a church that conquers the gates of hell through kingdom authority.
