In this message, Pastor Jack explores the theme of spiritual breakthrough, drawing on the biblical concept of “rending” or tearing open-both in the heavens and in human hearts. He traces this motif from Leviticus through Isaiah’s cry for God to rend the heavens, to the baptism of Jesus where the heavens were torn open, and ultimately to Pentecost where God’s Spirit broke through powerfully. Pastor Jack challenges the congregation to surrender to God’s disruptive work, risking comfort and style in order to experience divine transformation, healing, and the release of kingdom power.
