Have Yourself a Maranatha Christmas

by | Jun 27, 2026

In this Christmas morning message from 1977, Pastor Jack teaches on what he calls a "Maranatha Christmas"?celebrating not only that Christ came, but that He is coming again. Drawing from the story of Zacharias and Elizabeth in Luke 1, Pastor Jack explores how God chose ordinary people to play extraordinary roles in His redemptive plans, just as He desires to work through us today as we await Christ's return.
One Faith – The Gift/A Gift

One Faith – The Gift/A Gift

by | Jun 27, 2026

Pastor Jack explores the tension between unity and diversity in the body of Christ, focusing on the phrase "one faith" from Ephesians 4. He distinguishes between "the gift" of faith?the foundational capacity God gives every person to believe, culminating in salvation?and "a gift" of faith?a specific spiritual gift the Holy Spirit distributes for particular situations. Pastor Jack emphasizes that true faith involves both believing in the heart and confessing with the mouth, and warns against mechanical repetition divorced from genuine Spirit-quickened conviction.
Your Feet Shod With Peace

Your Feet Shod With Peace

by | Jun 27, 2026

Pastor Jack teaches on spiritual warfare and the importance of standing firm in God's peace. Drawing from Ephesians 6:15, he explains that having our feet "shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace" means standing on ground already prepared by God?not something we create through our own effort or bold declarations. Using the dramatic true story of a woman in the 1964 Alaska earthquake, Pastor Jack illustrates how genuine peace comes from turning our hearts to God's promises in the midst of life's cataclysms, reminding us that our strength in spiritual battle flows from knowing we are completely united with Christ.

Praying With an Understanding Heart ? 1977

by | Jun 27, 2026

Pastor Jack teaches on praying with understanding, particularly focusing on understanding God the Father's heart. He addresses three common misunderstandings that hinder prayer: misunderstanding praise (not everything that happens is God's will), misunderstanding presumption (we can boldly ask according to His will), and misunderstanding persistence (God is ready to answer quickly, not reluctantly). Drawing from 1 Corinthians 14, Luke 11 and 18, and other passages, Pastor Jack emphasizes that God is not a capricious deity but a loving Father who desires to bless His children.
The Holy Spirit and You

The Holy Spirit and You

by | Jun 27, 2026

Pastor Jack teaches on the operation of spiritual gifts in the life of believers, particularly in home and small group settings. Drawing from 1 Corinthians, he explains that spiritual gifts function in the same way as the baptism of the Holy Spirit?through believing God's Word, stepping out in faith, and resisting doubt. Pastor Jack emphasizes that God desires to distribute His gifts profusely through every believer, challenging the church to move from neglect to active participation in delivering these divine presents to a world in need.
