Pathway to Leadership

Pathway to Leadership

In this Men's Growth Seminar session, Pastor Jack teaches on the pathway to leadership, emphasizing that true leadership is a descending path toward servanthood. Drawing from John 1:12 and other passages, he outlines three major corners of spiritual development: moving from death to life, from sonship to discipleship, and from discipleship to leadership. Pastor Jack stresses the importance of learning fatherhood by being a child of the Father, cultivating consistent Bible study and prayer, and ultimately becoming servants who wash feet rather than seeking status. He challenges men to embrace their significance in God while remaining humble and available to serve others at every level of spiritual maturity.
Freedom From Fear

Freedom From Fear

Pastor Jack draws from the list of common bondage points he introduced in a previous session and reveals how nearly all of them trace back to a single root: fear. Using Proverbs 29:25 as his foundation, he teaches that the fear of man brings a snare, but those who trust in the Lord will be safe. He explores the nature of fear, its many expressions?from defensiveness to withdrawal?and shows how imperfect authority figures in our past create patterns of fear. Pastor Jack emphasizes that God is our "boethos," the One who comes running when we cry for help, and that perfect love expressed through praying in the Spirit will erode the roots of fear and bring freedom.
Today’s Passover Celebration

Today’s Passover Celebration

Pastor Jack teaches on the Passover from Exodus 12, drawing powerful connections to communion and Christ's sacrifice. He explores how the historic Passover in Egypt was also prophetic, pointing to Jesus as the Lamb of God whose blood provides saving provision, progressive purification, and continual protection. Pastor Jack invites believers to move beyond merely observing historic rituals to experiencing contemporary, prophetic fulfillment as they partake of communion and receive the life of Christ.
On Women Keeping Silent in the Churches

On Women Keeping Silent in the Churches

Pastor Jack teaches on one of the most misunderstood passages in Scripture?women keeping silence in the church. He carefully expounds 1 Corinthians 14 and 1 Timothy 2, demonstrating through contextual and scriptural comparison that Paul is not muzzling women but calling for orderly worship and encouraging men to take spiritual initiative. Pastor Jack affirms the vital contribution of women throughout Scripture and church history, and concludes that God's liberating Word frees both men and women to flourish in redemptive partnership.
God’s Hand in Natural Calamities

God’s Hand in Natural Calamities

Pastor Jack teaches from the book of Joel, showing how God uses natural calamities to awaken nations to their need for Him. Drawing parallels between ancient Israel's locust plague and contemporary events like the New York blackout and unusual weather patterns, he calls the church to fasting and intercessory prayer as God's means of breaking spiritual bondage. Pastor Jack proclaims that God not only removes the enemy but abundantly blesses, restores lost years, and pours out His Spirit on those who turn to Him.
