Spirit, Soul, and Body

Spirit, Soul, and Body

Pastor Jack draws from 1 Thessalonians to teach on the threefold nature of the human person—spirit, soul, and body. He explains how the spirit is our God-consciousness, the soul comprises our intellect, emotions, and will, and the body is our world-consciousness. Pastor Jack emphasizes that wholeness and healing flow from the inside out when Christ brings light and life to the darkened human spirit, and that true deliverance and transformation require understanding how we are put together and how the life of God penetrates every dimension of our personality.
The Purpose of Fasting

The Purpose of Fasting

Pastor Jack draws from Isaiah 58 to teach on the spiritual discipline of fasting, calling the congregation to a week-long corporate fast beginning the next day. He outlines four biblical purposes for fasting: receiving divine direction, preparing for spiritual battle, enabling deliverance and miracles, and breaking regional spiritual bondage. Pastor Jack emphasizes that fasting is not earning God's favor, but humbling oneself to seek His face and prepare for greater spiritual authority and ministry expansion.
Recovery of the Believer’s Authority, Nehemiah #9

Recovery of the Believer’s Authority, Nehemiah #9

Pastor Jack teaches from Nehemiah 4, focusing on the spiritual warfare believers face as the Holy Spirit rebuilds broken areas of their lives. Using the imagery of builders with swords, he explores how God provides both angelic protection and the Word of God as weapons against the enemy's attempts to stop the restoration work in our personalities, emphasizing the importance of Scripture, fellowship, and dwelling in God's presence rather than living constantly exposed to the world's attacks.
Restoring Wholeness to the Personality, Nehemiah #6

Restoring Wholeness to the Personality, Nehemiah #6

Pastor Jack explores the Book of Nehemiah, showing how the Holy Spirit positions Himself at the weakest points of our lives to defend us against the enemy. Drawing from Nehemiah chapter 4, he teaches that where restoration is complete in our lives we must stand guard, and where brokenness still exists, the Holy Spirit takes up defense, assisted by angelic ministers who both build with us and guard us.
The Spirit of Truth and the Spirit of Error, Pt. 6

The Spirit of Truth and the Spirit of Error, Pt. 6

Pastor Jack concludes his series "The Spirit of Truth and the Spirit of Error" by examining what the Bible says about astrology, divination, and other occult practices. Drawing from Romans 6 and multiple Old Testament passages, he warns believers to avoid dabbling in spiritual darkness—not as a legalistic requirement for salvation, but as wisdom for walking in freedom. Pastor Jack emphasizes that both God and Satan seek physical expression through human bodies, and believers must yield themselves to the Spirit of truth rather than error.
