Body Ministry: A Need to Exercise

by | May 13, 2026

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.

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.

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.
Two Messages on Forgiveness

Two Messages on Forgiveness

by | May 13, 2026

Pastor Jack teaches on the foundational grounds of forgiveness, exploring how God's redemptive plan through Christ makes it possible for sinful humanity to be reconciled to a holy God. Drawing primarily from Romans 3:23-26, he unpacks three crucial aspects of forgiveness: redemption (the price paid through Christ's blood), justification (the position believers receive—declared righteous as if they'd never sinned), and deliverance (the application and enjoyment of that freedom). Pastor Jack emphasizes that forgiveness wasn't cheap or casual—it required a divine masterplan that preserved God's holiness while offering mercy to rebellious humanity.
