How to Handle Fear of Violence

by | Jun 27, 2026

Pastor Jack addresses the growing fear of violence gripping his city in December 1977, prompted by specific incidents affecting members of his own family and congregation. Drawing from Psalm 91, he teaches practical steps for handling fear: confronting it honestly before God, identifying its demonic source, specifying the exact fear, and standing on God's promises. He illustrates these principles through a tender account of reading Psalm 91 with his nine-year-old daughter who was afraid at bedtime, showing how Scripture and worship displace fear with faith.
One Spirit ? One Hope

One Spirit ? One Hope

by | Jun 27, 2026

Pastor Jack draws from Ephesians 4 to explore the foundational elements of Christian unity. Continuing a detailed study of the chapter, he focuses on three key phrases: "one Spirit," "one hope of your calling," and "one Lord." Pastor Jack teaches that true unity in the body of Christ requires embracing both the gifts and fruit of the Spirit, balancing triumph in Christ's authority with expectation of His return, and recognizing that God's hope for us is as certain as the blessed hope of the rapture.
Releasing Women for Ministry

Releasing Women for Ministry

by | Jun 27, 2026

In this Tuesday morning women's seminar from November 1977, Pastor Jack draws from 1 Corinthians 11 and 1 Timothy 2 to address what the Bible teaches about women's place in ministry. He carefully examines passages often used to restrict women, explaining the original Greek meanings and cultural context to show that God's design for headship and order is meant for protection and release, not domination or limitation. Pastor Jack encourages the women to understand that biblical submission doesn't place a lid on their spiritual potential?God wants every woman to become the full flower of what she was created to be in His kingdom.
Freedom From Fear

Freedom From Fear

by | Jun 27, 2026

Pastor Jack draws from the list of common bondage points he introduced in a previous session and reveals how nearly all of them trace back to a single root: fear. Using Proverbs 29:25 as his foundation, he teaches that the fear of man brings a snare, but those who trust in the Lord will be safe. He explores the nature of fear, its many expressions?from defensiveness to withdrawal?and shows how imperfect authority figures in our past create patterns of fear. Pastor Jack emphasizes that God is our "boethos," the One who comes running when we cry for help, and that perfect love expressed through praying in the Spirit will erode the roots of fear and bring freedom.
On Women Keeping Silent in the Churches

On Women Keeping Silent in the Churches

by | Jun 27, 2026

Pastor Jack teaches on one of the most misunderstood passages in Scripture?women keeping silence in the church. He carefully expounds 1 Corinthians 14 and 1 Timothy 2, demonstrating through contextual and scriptural comparison that Paul is not muzzling women but calling for orderly worship and encouraging men to take spiritual initiative. Pastor Jack affirms the vital contribution of women throughout Scripture and church history, and concludes that God's liberating Word frees both men and women to flourish in redemptive partnership.
