Having Problems Doesn? ?t Mean You? ?re Unspiritual

Having Problems Doesn? ?t Mean You? ?re Unspiritual

In this message, Pastor Jack explores Acts 6:1-7, where the early church faced its first internal problem? ?the neglect of Grecian widows in daily ministry. Pastor Jack teaches that having problems doesn't mean you're unspiritual; rather, it's how you handle them that matters. He shows how the apostles responded by establishing God-ordained leadership and raising up deacons, demonstrating that growing churches require growing people who learn to minister in the power of the Holy Spirit.
My Mind? ?s Made Up: Don? ?t Confuse Me With the Facts

My Mind? ?s Made Up: Don? ?t Confuse Me With the Facts

In this message, Pastor Jack explores the confrontation between belief and unbelief found in Acts chapter 5, where the apostles face imprisonment and persecution for preaching in Jesus' name. Drawing from the title "My Mind's Made Up, Don't Confuse Me with the Facts," he contrasts those who tenaciously cling to disbelief despite overwhelming evidence of God's power with believers who must develop an equally tenacious faith commitment. Pastor Jack challenges both unbelievers to repent and turn their minds to God, and believers to trust God wholly without being confused by circumstances, opposition, or physical assault.
The Way to Stop Church Growth …Well, Almost

The Way to Stop Church Growth …Well, Almost

Pastor Jack teaches from Acts 4 and 5 about the tension between church growth and spiritual integrity. He explores how the Holy Spirit's demand for purity? ?as seen in the sobering account of Ananias and Sapphira? ?could have stopped the early church's explosive growth, yet instead produced a deeper work of grace. Pastor Jack challenges believers to surrender possessions, embrace radical generosity, and allow the Holy Spirit to work a thoroughgoing transformation in their hearts.
The Unquenchable Force of the Real

The Unquenchable Force of the Real

Pastor Jack teaches from Acts 4:5-31 on how Satan systematically tries to intimidate and stifle the miraculous work God begins in believers' lives. Drawing from the early church's confrontation with religious authorities after healing the lame man, Pastor Jack shows how intimidation rises against God's work, yet believers can stand firm through being filled with the Holy Spirit, grounded in God's Word, and united in prayer. The message concludes with a powerful call to pursue fullness of the Spirit and depth in Scripture.
The Kind of People Miracles Happen To

The Kind of People Miracles Happen To

Pastor Jack teaches on the miracle flow that should characterize the life of believers, using the healing of the lame beggar in Acts 3 as a model. He challenges the congregation not to settle for a Christianity devoid of supernatural manifestations, arguing that while miracles don't prove Jesus' presence, their absence suggests His absence. Drawing from Peter and John's encounter at the temple gate, Pastor Jack outlines what kind of people experience miracles? ?steadfast believers grounded in Scripture and prayer, hopeful "cripples" who refuse to be bound by their limitations, and amazed sinners who respond to God's power with faith.
