Submission: God’s Pattern for Living

Submission: God’s Pattern for Living

Pastor Jack teaches a foundational message on submission as God's design for living, beginning with Psalm 8 and tracing humanity's original authority through the fall and restoration in Christ. He redefines submission not as servility, but as returning to God's order—illustrated powerfully by Jesus' pattern of humility and the image of meekness as a war horse fully trained and responsive to its master. Pastor Jack calls the congregation to submit in every area of life, pray for national leaders, and minister to one another in the fullness of the Holy Spirit.
The Basic Commitment to God’s Will

The Basic Commitment to God’s Will

Pastor Jack draws from the life of Abraham to teach on pursuing God's will. He emphasizes the need to abandon human-based security found in country, kindred, and family, trusting instead in God's promises. Pastor Jack challenges the congregation to respond to God's call with faith—stepping out like Abraham, not knowing the destination but trusting the One who leads.
The Ministry of Prophecy

The Ministry of Prophecy

In this message, Pastor Jack explores the ministry of prophecy, drawing clear distinctions between the office of the prophet and the believer's exercise of the gift of prophecy. He teaches from 1 Corinthians 14 about the nature and purpose of prophecy—for edification, exhortation, and comfort—and gives practical guidance on how believers can cultivate and appropriately exercise this spiritual gift in the body of Christ.
Survey of New Testament Ministries

Survey of New Testament Ministries

Pastor Jack draws from Romans 12 and 1 Corinthians 12 to survey the spiritual gifts and ministries God has given to the church. He carefully distinguishes between the domata (gifts given by Christ to develop the church—apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, teachers) and the charismata (the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed as He wills). Pastor Jack emphasizes that every believer has significance in the body of Christ, and teaches that ministries function in faith, love, and hope, calling the congregation to practical, Spirit-empowered service.
Spiritual Life

Spiritual Life

Pastor Jack draws from Ephesians to teach on the reality of the spiritual world, emphasizing that the material world we see is secondary to the spiritual realm that created it. In this Easter message, Pastor Jack explores how the resurrection of Jesus opens the door to fulfilled living when we understand that true life flows from God's Word and Spirit—not from external, physical things. He challenges listeners to draw on God's power from the inside out, living in alignment with the Word that brought all creation into being.
