The Spirit of Truth and the Spirit of Error, Pt. 5

The Spirit of Truth and the Spirit of Error, Pt. 5

Pastor Jack draws from Deuteronomy 18 and 1 Samuel 28 to expose the dangers of occult practices and familiar spirits in a generation increasingly drawn to darkness. He unpacks the story of Saul and the witch of Endor, explaining why believers must completely avoid necromancy, divination, witchcraft, and all forms of spiritual dabbling—not out of superstitious fear, but out of obedience to God. Pastor Jack calls the church to walk in the light of the Holy Spirit, stay grounded in Scripture, and recognize that true spiritual contact comes only through Jesus Christ and the Spirit of truth.
Daniel Kind of People

Daniel Kind of People

Pastor Jack draws from the book of Daniel to illustrate the life of steadfast faithfulness in tumultuous times. Using the example of Daniel—a man whose character and commitment shaped empires—Pastor Jack introduces the congregation to three couples who embody this same enduring faith: Maurice and Hallie Toll, Vincent and Connie Byrd, and longtime church member Nellie Stark. Through their testimonies and heartfelt interviews, he shows that lasting spiritual influence comes not from gifting or programs, but from humble, Spirit-filled lives that remain unshaken through the decades.
Handling Temptation

Handling Temptation

Pastor Jack explores Jesus' temptation in the wilderness, showing how the Holy Spirit leads believers into seasons of testing not to destroy them but to refine their character. He teaches that God never abandons us in temptation, promising that no trial will exceed what we can bear, and that walking in the fullness of the Holy Spirit and living in the Word of God are essential weapons for overcoming spiritual assault.
The Spirit of Truth and the Spirit of Error, Pt. 4

The Spirit of Truth and the Spirit of Error, Pt. 4

In this message, Pastor Jack explores the sources of truth through which God has revealed Himself to mankind. He teaches that truth is manifested in three ways: through creation, through the person of Jesus Christ, and through Scripture. Pastor Jack contrasts the spirit of truth with the spirit of error, emphasizing that Satan seeks to manifest himself through tangible objects and human lives, while God desires to dwell in His people through the Holy Spirit.
The River of Recovery

The River of Recovery

Pastor Jack teaches from the story of the lost axe head in 2 Kings 6, showing how God restores effectiveness in our lives when we've lost our spiritual cutting edge. Drawing from this vivid account of Elisha and the sons of the prophets, he explains that when we're no longer "cutting it" in ministry or daily life, the Lord will take us back to where we lost what made us effective and work a miracle of recovery—we don't have to start over, just move forward from there.
