Problems in the Exercise of Spiritual Language, Pt. 1

In this message, Pastor Jack explores the practical dimensions of Spirit-filled life, focusing on problems that can arise with the spiritual language. He draws from Peter's walking on water in Matthew 14 to illustrate both entering into the baptism of the Holy Spirit and learning to walk in it. Pastor Jack addresses common misconceptions about speaking in tongues, emphasizing that it's a volitional act involving the believer's mind and vocal equipment—not an ecstatic trance—and encourages believers to develop this gift as part of their devotional life.

Our Responsibility for America’s Survival

Pastor Jack speaks directly to the congregation about America's spiritual crisis during the Watergate era, calling them to intercessory prayer for the nation. In this unplanned message, prompted by the Holy Spirit's leading, Pastor Jack urges believers to take spiritual responsibility for the country's survival, warning against both apathy and blind patriotism while teaching the power of prayer for national leadership. Drawing from Nehemiah's restoration of Jerusalem's walls and linking it to the contemporary "Watergate," he commissions the congregation to stand in the gap through prayer during the final weeks of 1973.

Learning How to Speak in English

Pastor Jack teaches on the profound responsibility that comes with Spirit-filled living, focusing on how believers must learn to speak wisely in their native language before addressing spiritual languages like tongues. Drawing from Romans 10 and Acts 2, he explains that as sons and daughters of a God who spoke all things into existence, our words carry creative power and must be disciplined. He provides nine practical principles for when to keep silent, emphasizing that learning when not to speak is foundational to speaking prophetically as oracles of God.
Taking Inventory on His Name

Taking Inventory on His Name

Pastor Jack draws from the closing chapters of Malachi to encourage a spirit of gratitude rooted not in circumstances, but in who God is. He highlights a remnant who "thought upon His name"—taking inventory of God's redemptive character revealed through names like Jehovah Jireh, Jehovah Rapha, and Jehovah Shalom—and shows how each finds its fulfillment in Jesus. In a season marked by thanksgiving, Pastor Jack calls believers to count their blessings in Christ and speak often to one another about His faithfulness.
