The Church that Jesus Builds

The Church that Jesus Builds

by | Jun 6, 2026

Drawing from his very first sermon as pastor at the Church on the Way, Pastor Jack explores the foundational passage where Jesus declares, "I will build my church." Preaching now at the beginning of his fifth year, he unpacks four earmarks of the church Christ builds: a church that knows the whole Christ (not a fragmented view), a church where believers discover their true identity in Him, a church built by Jesus Himself (not human effort), and a church that conquers the gates of hell through kingdom authority.

A Brief Talk on Speaking in Tongues

by | Jun 6, 2026

Pastor Jack teaches on the privilege of speaking in tongues and the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Drawing primarily from 1 Corinthians 14, he addresses common fears and misconceptions, explaining the difference between the gift of tongues and the spiritual language available to all believers. He emphasizes that the spiritual language is not a novelty but a powerful resource for prayer, spiritual warfare, and transformation, encouraging every believer to receive and use this biblical privilege.
Participating in the Body of Christ

Participating in the Body of Christ

by | Jun 6, 2026

Pastor Jack explores the biblical concept of submission within the local church, challenging popular resistance to church membership and institutional connection. Drawing from the account in John 6 where Jesus taught about eating His flesh and drinking His blood, he emphasizes that true identification with Christ's body includes committed relationship to a local expression of that body. Pastor Jack shares candidly about his own journey two years prior when God confronted him about fully embracing his place within the Foursquare movement, resulting in newfound freedom and fruitfulness in ministry.
The Name of Jesus

The Name of Jesus

by | Jun 6, 2026

Pastor Jack draws from the Christmas narrative in Matthew to explore why the name of Jesus is so powerful and significant. He shares a personal story from 1964 when God taught him the importance of using Jesus' actual name rather than just the title "Christ," and explains that Jesus is both the only name God took in the flesh and the name of the man now seated at the right hand of the Father. Pastor Jack teaches that believers can walk in the authority and power of Jesus' name because a victorious man—not just deity—now rules from heaven's throne.
The Responsibility of Sonship

The Responsibility of Sonship

by | May 25, 2026

Pastor Jack teaches on the responsibility of sonship, emphasizing that believers must learn to exercise their authority as sons and daughters of God by asking the Father for their needs. Drawing from Matthew 7 and other passages, he explains that being a son of God involves not just receiving authority, but actively responding to the Father through prayer, asking boldly, and sustaining requests with hopeful praise. Pastor Jack challenges the congregation to move beyond spiritual infancy and embrace the responsibilities that come with their identity as God's children.
