Praying With an Understanding Heart ? 1977

by | Jun 27, 2026

Pastor Jack teaches on praying with understanding, particularly focusing on understanding God the Father's heart. He addresses three common misunderstandings that hinder prayer: misunderstanding praise (not everything that happens is God's will), misunderstanding presumption (we can boldly ask according to His will), and misunderstanding persistence (God is ready to answer quickly, not reluctantly). Drawing from 1 Corinthians 14, Luke 11 and 18, and other passages, Pastor Jack emphasizes that God is not a capricious deity but a loving Father who desires to bless His children.

Pastor Jack draws from the story of Abraham's testing on Mount Moriah to explore what it means to move from knowing God's hand of provision to understanding His heart. Using Genesis 22, he teaches that God sometimes removes what He has given?not to destroy, but to draw us closer and reveal His unchanging nature. Pastor Jack explains that Abraham's willingness to sacrifice Isaac foreshadowed God's own sacrifice of His Son, and that our trials are opportunities to discover God's deeper ways and character.

Genesis 25-30

by | Jun 27, 2026

Pastor Jack teaches through Genesis chapters 25-30, exploring the lives of Isaac, Jacob, and Esau. He examines how God's covenant promises require faith and prayer to possess, the sovereignty of God in human affairs, and how God works through imperfect people who trust Him. Pastor Jack emphasizes that while these patriarchs had flawed character and operated in a time of limited revelation, God honored their heart attitude toward Him and faithfulness to His invisible promises.

Pastor Jack teaches through the opening chapters of Genesis, exploring the biblical account of creation and the nature of man's original design. He examines different views on the creation days, the gap theory between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2, and God's purposes in creating humanity?including man's destiny, dominion, duty, and diet. Pastor Jack concludes by highlighting the creation ordinances established in Genesis 2, including purpose, development, balance, order, and companionship, emphasizing how redemption through Christ restores what was lost in the fall.
Quick and Certain Justice Through Prayer

Quick and Certain Justice Through Prayer

by | Jun 27, 2026

Pastor Jack draws from Luke 18 to teach on the nature of persistent, faith-filled prayer and the promise of quick and certain justice from God. Through the parable of the unjust judge and the widow, he contrasts the sluggish, selfish judge with the righteous, responsive Heavenly Father who speedily avenges His people. Pastor Jack challenges believers to lift their faces toward God in prayer whenever injustice arises, trusting that He?unlike the unjust judge?is fully committed to His elect and will bring about righteousness through their intercession.
