The Spirit of the Lamb

The Spirit of the Lamb

Pastor Jack draws from the Gospel of Luke to explore a vital but often overlooked dimension of kingdom living?the Spirit of the Lamb. Through Jesus' rebuke of James and John for wanting to call down fire on their enemies, Pastor Jack teaches that the greatest victories come not through forceful displays of power, but through meekness, sacrifice, and the willingness to be vulnerable for righteousness' sake. He reminds believers that while we are called to walk in authority, we are also sent forth as sheep among wolves, and that the Lamb who was slain ultimately wins through love and surrender to the Father's will.
Learning to Lead by Learning to Trust

Learning to Lead by Learning to Trust

In this message, Pastor Jack explores the foundations of spiritual authority through the account of Moses approaching his father-in-law Jethro after encountering God at the burning bush. Drawing from Exodus 4:18, Pastor Jack teaches that learning to lead effectively requires first learning to trust and submit to God's order of authority?particularly those God has placed over us. He emphasizes that right relationships are essential to becoming "dynamic deliverers," and that true authority flows not from experience or position, but from humbly being what God created us to be in His power.
Seven Men

Seven Men

Pastor Jack draws from the first chapter of James to outline seven types of men that reflect different stages and aspects of spiritual maturity. Speaking at a men's retreat in 1975, he walks through the tried man, the lacking man, the wavering man, the humble man, the tempted man, the new man, and the mature man? inviting listeners to see themselves in each profile and to pursue God's refining work in their lives.
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.
The Three-Dimensional Woman

The Three-Dimensional Woman

In this message from a 1975 Women's Retreat, Pastor Jack teaches on becoming a "three-dimensioned woman" grounded in biblical identity. He addresses both the objectives and obstacles of women's ministry, helping listeners understand how to integrate their many roles and responsibilities. Pastor Jack emphasizes that established believers must first know who they are in Christ? as children of the Father, daughters of the Almighty, and saints of the Most High? before they can grow into spiritual maturity and sensitive service.
