Men Who Shape History

Men Who Shape History

Pastor Jack teaches on Stephen, the first martyr of the early church, showing how God takes ordinary men and develops them into history-shapers. Drawing from Acts 6:8 through 8:4, Pastor Jack emphasizes that Stephen was not merely a martyr but a man of honest report, full of the Holy Spirit, who faithfully served in practical ministry before miracles began flowing through his life. He challenges the men of the congregation to become "glory men" ? ? born again, Spirit-filled believers who mature in wisdom and love, allowing God to deeply mark them for kingdom purposes.

The Force and the Fury: Demonic Presence and Power

Pastor Jack emphasizes that believers need not fear, but should understand spiritual warfare and minister truth to those in bondage.

The Unquenchable Force of the Real

Pastor Jack teaches from Acts 4:5-31 on how Satan systematically tries to intimidate and stifle the miraculous work God begins in believers' lives.

The message concludes with a powerful call to pursue fullness of the Spirit and depth in Scripture.
