How to Minister the Love of God to Others

How to Minister the Love of God to Others

Pastor Jack draws from the account of Jesus washing His disciples' feet in John 13 to teach on how believers can minister God's love to one another. He emphasizes that the power and blessing of a church flows not from particular practices or traditions, but from the authentic flow of God's love among His people. Walking through Jesus' deliberate actions—rising from supper, laying aside His garments, girding Himself as a servant, pouring water in a basin, and washing their feet—Pastor Jack unpacks practical principles for loving ministry that goes beyond superficial interaction to genuine, humble service.
Submission: God’s Pattern for Living

Submission: God’s Pattern for Living

Pastor Jack teaches a foundational message on submission as God's design for living, beginning with Psalm 8 and tracing humanity's original authority through the fall and restoration in Christ. He redefines submission not as servility, but as returning to God's order—illustrated powerfully by Jesus' pattern of humility and the image of meekness as a war horse fully trained and responsive to its master. Pastor Jack calls the congregation to submit in every area of life, pray for national leaders, and minister to one another in the fullness of the Holy Spirit.
Preparing for Your Ministry

Preparing for Your Ministry

Pastor Jack teaches on preparing for ministry by examining the attitudes and mindset required for effective service in the body of Christ. Drawing from Romans 12:3 and Philippians 2, he emphasizes the importance of sound-minded thinking about one's calling, avoiding both false humility and grasping for position, and following Christ's example of humility and non-grasping surrender to the Father's will.

Unbuttoning Buttoned-Down Religion, Romans #6

Pastor Jack teaches on Romans 2, contrasting the "inexcusable heathen" of chapter 1 with the "inexcusable religionist" who is bound up in religious knowledge. Drawing from the text, he challenges believers to avoid judgmentalism and self-righteousness, emphasizing that God's kindness leads to continual repentance—a constant reshaping of the mind and heart. Pastor Jack calls the congregation to maintain humble, teachable spirits, reminding them that spiritual growth is a lifelong journey and there is always "much, much more" to learn from the Lord.
A Letter to a People on the Way, Pt. 2, Romans #2

A Letter to a People on the Way, Pt. 2, Romans #2

Pastor Jack teaches from Romans chapter 1 in this second message from his series on Romans. He explains that Paul's objective in writing Romans was not merely to present doctrine, but to help believers enter into the ministry God has for them as saints. Drawing from Paul's stated purpose of imparting spiritual gifts and establishing the Roman church in ministry, Pastor Jack unpacks how every believer is called to function as a ministering member of the body of Christ, with unique abilities genetically inherited in the spiritual realm through new birth.
