The Night of The Rainbow

The Night of The Rainbow

Pastor Jack shares a deeply personal revelation about God's glory dwelling upon the Church on the Way. Drawing from John 17 and Jesus' high priestly prayer, he recounts the powerful vision from January 1970 when he witnessed the visible manifestation of God's glory filling the sanctuary, and more recently, God's promise that their last Easter in the current building was approaching. On this outdoor communion service, as the congregation gathers flexibly on the church lawn, a rainbow appears overhead?a divine confirmation that God's glory goes before them, covers them, and protects them as they step into new patterns of ministry and home meetings.
Girding in Prayer for Growth

In this message from July 3, 1977, Pastor Jack explores God's call for the Church on the Way to become a house of prayer for all nations. He teaches from 1 Timothy 2 about the priority of intercessory prayer, explaining how the congregation is learning to pray for nations around the world, for the United States, and for government leaders. Pastor Jack also introduces a significant new direction: beginning in August, the church will launch home group meetings throughout the Los Angeles area, extending ministry beyond the building while maintaining spiritual authority and coordination.
“Dispensing” in Dispensation

“Dispensing” in Dispensation

Pastor Jack teaches on the concept of dispensation from Ephesians 1, explaining that God has called the Church to be "dispensers" of His life and love to the world. Drawing from the Greek word "oikonomia" (stewardship), he challenges the congregation to understand that every believer is meant to function as a dispensing machine of God's grace?not just clergy or trained leaders. He unveils a vision for a "ministry revolution" involving home group meetings throughout Southern California, emphasizing that the Church must expand beyond its physical building to reach multitudes hungry for New Testament life.

In this message, he emphasizes that the Father has bequeathed His full resources to us through the death and resurrection of Jesus, who serves as the executor of the will, ensuring His purposes are fulfilled in us through the Holy Spirit. Pastor Jack teaches that God's will, pleasure, and purpose converge to guarantee our place in His sovereign plan, inviting us to receive His creative life and walk in confident expectancy.
