How to Handle Fear of Violence

How to Handle Fear of Violence

How to Handle Fear of Violence

by | Jun 27, 2026

Pastor Jack addresses the growing fear of violence gripping his city in December 1977, prompted by specific incidents affecting members of his own family and congregation. Drawing from Psalm 91, he teaches practical steps for handling fear: confronting it honestly before God, identifying its demonic source, specifying the exact fear, and standing on God's promises. He illustrates these principles through a tender account of reading Psalm 91 with his nine-year-old daughter who was afraid at bedtime, showing how Scripture and worship displace fear with faith.
Freedom From Fear

Freedom From Fear

by | Jun 27, 2026

Pastor Jack draws from the list of common bondage points he introduced in a previous session and reveals how nearly all of them trace back to a single root: fear. Using Proverbs 29:25 as his foundation, he teaches that the fear of man brings a snare, but those who trust in the Lord will be safe. He explores the nature of fear, its many expressions?from defensiveness to withdrawal?and shows how imperfect authority figures in our past create patterns of fear. Pastor Jack emphasizes that God is our "boethos," the One who comes running when we cry for help, and that perfect love expressed through praying in the Spirit will erode the roots of fear and bring freedom.
The Hope of His Calling

The Hope of His Calling

by | Jun 27, 2026

Pastor Jack draws from Ephesians 1:15-23 to explore God's high hopes for the church?not our ambitions for ourselves, but the Father's expectations for us. He teaches that the same resurrection power that raised Jesus from the dead is available to break the shackles of our helplessness and fear, and that the church is called to be the fullness of Christ, manifesting His life to the world.

1976 Winner Takes All

by | Jun 27, 2026

Pastor Jack teaches from John 20, exploring how the resurrected Jesus meets five different individuals?Mary Magdalene, Peter, John, the disciples in the upper room, and Thomas?each in their unique circumstances and personalities. He emphasizes that Jesus is truly a personal Savior who meets people where they are, whether in brokenheartedness, skepticism, fear, or simple faith, and draws them into His triumph. The message highlights God's pattern of dealing from weakness to build relationship, as seen in Christ's humiliation and exaltation.
Becoming a Deliverer Means Accepting Responsibility: An Intimidated Man (Moses)

Becoming a Deliverer Means Accepting Responsibility: An Intimidated Man (Moses)

by | Jun 27, 2026

Pastor Jack draws from the life of Moses to examine what it means to take responsibility as a deliverer. Confronting the dramatic moment when God meets Moses at an inn and seeks to kill him for failing to circumcise his sons, Pastor Jack unpacks how Moses had neglected his spiritual responsibilities at home?the very place God requires order before he can use us powerfully. This message challenges believers to face their fears, come to terms with areas of disobedience, and accept the refining work God requires before fruitfulness can follow.
