Year: 1980
Verses: Ephesians 4:30; Ephesians 4:17-32; Matthew 5:43-48; Matthew 27:66; Revelation 5:1

Pastor Jack teaches on the importance of not grieving the Holy Spirit, drawing from Ephesians 4:30 and the concept of being sealed by the Spirit until the day of redemption. He explores what it means to be “sealed” – closed up from sin, marked for ownership, and authenticated by God – and challenges believers to live in forgiveness, love, and kingdom values. In a powerful moment, Pastor Jack applies these principles to the Iranian hostage crisis, calling the congregation to forgive and pray for Ayatollah Khomeini as an act of intercessory breakthrough.
