Care and Feeding of a Spiritual Mind, Romans #22

by | Jun 13, 2026

Pastor Jack explores the key to spirit-filled living through Romans 8:5-9, focusing on what it means to be spiritually minded. He explains that spiritual-mindedness is not merely intellectual but a deep "gut-level" orientation of the heart, nourished by reading God's Word, praying in the Spirit, fellowship with believers, and following after the things of the Spirit. Drawing on the law of seedtime and harvest, Pastor Jack teaches that consistently sowing to the Spirit guarantees spiritual growth and abundant life.

Pastor Jack teaches from Romans 8 on the crucial difference between living after the flesh and living after the Spirit. He addresses harmful errors about salvation and Spirit baptism, clarifying that having the Spirit of Christ comes at salvation, yet emphasizes that the Holy Spirit continually calls believers beyond past experiences into present, vital relationship—following after what the Spirit is doing right now, not merely collecting spiritual "hash marks."

Beginning in the Spirit, Romans #20

Pastor Jack teaches on Romans 8:1-4, unpacking the liberating truth that believers are not condemned to be perpetually dragged down by the law of sin and death. Drawing from the contrast between Romans 7's struggle and Romans 8's freedom, he explains how the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus makes it possible for believers to "fly" spiritually rather than remain earthbound by the flesh. Pastor Jack emphasizes that Spirit-filled living begins with three foundational elements modeled by Jesus: new birth, water baptism, and receiving the fullness of the Holy Spirit.
The Final Death of Legalism, Romans #19

The Final Death of Legalism, Romans #19

by | Jun 13, 2026

In this message from 1973, Pastor Jack explores Romans 7:7-25, unpacking the three positive values that God's law serves for believers. Pastor Jack teaches that the final death of legalism occurs when we gain a true perspective on God's law—recognizing it not as a crushing burden meant to earn salvation, but as a revelation of God's design for life, a holy and good standard that points us toward Christ, and ultimately something that drives us to confess our absolute inability to perform it in our own strength, bringing us to dependence on the Holy Spirit.
The Glory of the Kingdom of God

The Glory of the Kingdom of God

by | Jun 13, 2026

Pastor Jack draws from 2 Corinthians to explore how the Holy Spirit reveals and establishes the Lordship of Jesus in believers' lives. He teaches that the kingdom of God will only extend through us to the degree that Jesus' rulership has been ministered to us by the Holy Spirit, who works progressively to transform us "from glory to glory" as we submit to Christ's lordship in every area of life.
