Establishing God?  Eternal Councils

Establishing God? Eternal Councils

Pastor Jack explores the power of binding and loosing in prayer, drawing from Matthew 16 and 18. He unpacks the relationship between supplication, the Greek word for "bind," and how believers enforce God's eternal decrees on earth while destroying the works of darkness. Pastor Jack calls the congregation to a new level of prayer ministry, including establishing a 24-hour prayer chain, inhabiting the church prayer room, and boldly speaking the name of Jesus in everyday life.
Complete Teaching Brings Complete Experience

Complete Teaching Brings Complete Experience

Pastor Jack draws from Acts 8 to examine what he calls "complete teaching" in New Testament evangelism. He emphasizes that the early church didn't stop at salvation and water baptism, but always pressed on to the baptism of the Holy Spirit? ?a pattern demonstrated when Peter and John traveled to Samaria to pray for new believers to receive the Spirit. Pastor Jack teaches that partial instruction produces partial experience, and calls the congregation to embrace the fullness of what God offers: salvation, water baptism, and the baptism of the Holy Spirit with spiritual language.
The Message of New Testament Evangelism

The Message of New Testament Evangelism

Pastor Jack explores the story of Philip in Samaria, showing how God uses ordinary believers to advance the gospel. Drawing from Acts 8, he demonstrates that Philip was scattered by persecution, not sent as a famous evangelist? ?yet God confirmed the word with signs, wonders, and deliverance from demonic powers. Pastor Jack emphasizes that the early church preached four key elements: the Word, Christ as the anointed King, the kingdom of God, and the authority of Jesus' name, calling the church to expect God's miracle-working power today.
New Testament Evangelism

New Testament Evangelism

Pastor Jack explores the birth of New Testament evangelism in the early church, drawing from Acts 8 where persecution scatters believers into Samaria. He teaches that true evangelism emerges not from human engineering or programmatic effort, but from God's sovereign work in believers who are grounded in worship, fellowship, and the Word. Rather than anxiously planning witness strategies, Pastor Jack encourages believers to pursue the Acts 2 pattern of devotion to teaching, fellowship, breaking of bread, and prayer? ?from which fruitful witness naturally flows.
