Good Sense and the Holy Ghost

Good Sense and the Holy Ghost

Pastor Jack draws from Ephesians 5 to challenge believers to walk with good sense in the fullness of the Holy Spirit. He emphasizes that Spirit-filled living is not mystical escapism but sound-minded, practical power for redeeming everyday situations. Throughout the message, Pastor Jack teaches on being filled with the Spirit, speaking and singing in worship, and entering into a dynamic encounter with Jesus that brings divine enablement for daily life.
Unlearning the World?  Teaching, Pt. 1

Unlearning the World? Teaching, Pt. 1

Pastor Jack draws from episodes in the Gospels to address how Jesus "unlearned" His disciples? helping them discern between worldly patterns of thought and Kingdom thinking. He walks through several occasions where Jesus corrected the disciples' assumptions, teaching them that righteousness doesn't guarantee being right, that no group has it all, and that maturity never exempts us from accepting the immature. Pastor Jack calls the men to a deeper discipleship, urging them to cultivate attitudes shaped by Jesus rather than conventional wisdom.
How to Contact the Dead

How to Contact the Dead

Pastor Jack teaches on the dangers of occult practices and the biblical truth about death and the afterlife. Drawing from the story of Saul at Endor and Jesus' account of the rich man and Lazarus, he explains why attempts to contact the dead are spiritually dangerous and forbidden. Pastor Jack emphasizes that spiritual bondage often begins through seemingly innocent dabbling in occult practices, and he calls believers to walk in the light of truth and freedom found in Christ.
Twentieth Century Pharisees

Twentieth Century Pharisees

In this message, Pastor Jack teaches on the danger of religious legalism by examining the characteristics of the Pharisees in Jesus' day. Drawing from Matthew 16 and his recent trip to Israel? especially standing at the ruins of ancient Chorazin where Jesus did his mightiest works but was rejected? Pastor Jack warns that believers today can fall into the same trap: believing the Bible is God's Word, affirming God's miraculous power, and emphasizing holiness, yet missing the present, living work of Christ. He urges the congregation to avoid becoming "20th century Pharisees" and instead remain soft-hearted, forgiving, and open to God's present miracle-working power.
Praying in the Will of God

Praying in the Will of God

Pastor Jack draws from Romans 8 to explore the profound ministry of intercessory prayer available to every Spirit-filled believer. Through detailed word studies in Hebrew and Greek, he demonstrates that intercession involves three dimensions: accidentally "lighting upon" prayer targets the Spirit brings to mind, falling upon spiritual adversaries in warfare, and pressing back boundaries to help people reach their God-ordained inheritance. Pastor Jack emphasizes that intercession isn't reserved for spiritual giants but is accessible to all believers through the Holy Spirit's help.
