Your Pathway to Ministry as God?  Man

Your Pathway to Ministry as God? Man

Pastor Jack draws from 1 Timothy 3 to teach on the pathway to ministry as God's man, clarifying the biblical roles of elders and deacons. He addresses a mistake he made a year earlier? assuming the requirements for elders and deacons were similar? and explains that deacons are men being proven and developed in ministry, while elders must meet far more stringent character qualifications. Pastor Jack announces a new structure for discipleship seminars and family units in the church, designed to ensure that every member is cared for and no one is neglected in daily ministry.
The Summons to Mature Manhood

The Summons to Mature Manhood

In this message from a men's retreat, Pastor Jack teaches on the summons to mature manhood, drawing from Acts 6 and the early church's response to growth. He explains how the church answered the challenge of multiplication by raising up spirit-filled men as deacons and leaders, and outlines three major steps in spiritual development: from death to life, from sonship to discipleship, and from discipleship to leadership. Pastor Jack emphasizes that God's method is not programs but people, and calls men to understand their identity as children, sons, and saints of God.
The Wholeness of Man, Pt. 2

The Wholeness of Man, Pt. 2

In this message from a 1974 Manpower Seminar, Pastor Jack explores the spiritual warfare that takes place in the soul? the mind, emotions, and will. He teaches on how believers must actively partner with Christ to bring thoughts into captivity, resist the devil's attacks, and overcome bondage through the power of God's Word, the blood of Jesus, and the authority of His name. Pastor Jack vulnerably shares personal struggles to illustrate how past wounds and the fear of man create openings for spiritual bondage, and he calls men to walk in freedom through the Holy Spirit's power.
