The Spirit of Truth and the Spirit of Error, Pt. 5

The Spirit of Truth and the Spirit of Error, Pt. 5

Pastor Jack draws from Deuteronomy 18 and 1 Samuel 28 to expose the dangers of occult practices and familiar spirits in a generation increasingly drawn to darkness. He unpacks the story of Saul and the witch of Endor, explaining why believers must completely avoid necromancy, divination, witchcraft, and all forms of spiritual dabbling—not out of superstitious fear, but out of obedience to God. Pastor Jack calls the church to walk in the light of the Holy Spirit, stay grounded in Scripture, and recognize that true spiritual contact comes only through Jesus Christ and the Spirit of truth.
A Letter to a People on the Way, Pt. 1, Romans #1

A Letter to a People on the Way, Pt. 1, Romans #1

Pastor Jack introduces a year-long study through the Book of Romans, inviting the congregation to see it not as a heavy theological burden but as a personal letter from the Holy Spirit to believers on their journey. He emphasizes that the gospel originates entirely from God—its source, authority, and power all flow from Him—and that the epistle aims not only to establish believers in their relationship with God but also to mature them in ministry. Pastor Jack draws parallels between the Roman church and the Church on the Way, encouraging the congregation to be established in both message and ministry through the study ahead.
Body Ministry: A Need to Exercise

Body Ministry: A Need to Exercise

Pastor Jack teaches from 1 Corinthians 12 on the ministry of the body of Christ, emphasizing that every member has a God-given ministry. He explains how the entire Godhead cooperates in equipping believers: the Father gives grace and faith for ministry, Jesus gives leadership gifts to develop the body, and the Holy Spirit gives gifts to empower each person's calling. Pastor Jack warns against the error of the Nicolaitans—creating a hierarchy that divides clergy from laity—and challenges believers to discover and exercise their individual ministries within the local church.
Going Through Trials

Going Through Trials

Pastor Jack draws from the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the fiery furnace to teach about standing firm through life's trials. He emphasizes that while Satan's systems seek to pressure believers into conforming and abandoning their identity in Christ, God promises to walk with us through every test and deliver us unharmed. Pastor Jack challenges the congregation to hold their ground in faith, even when facing intense spiritual warfare, reminding them that the Lord will be present in the flames.
Principles of Faith (1972)

Principles of Faith (1972)

Pastor Jack draws from Hebrews 12 to teach about enduring faith over the long haul, not just immediate answers to prayer. He highlights biblical figures like Noah, Abraham, and Moses who waited decades or even a century for God's promises to be fulfilled. Through this message, Pastor Jack encourages the congregation to lay aside weights and besetting sins, run with patience the race set before them, and keep looking to Jesus—the author and finisher of faith—especially during seasons of sustained spiritual struggle.
