Mister, Meet Your Master

Mister, Meet Your Master

In this message from a Saturday morning Men's Growth Seminar, Pastor Jack explores the first encounters six men had with Jesus in John chapter 1. Pastor Jack draws from these encounters to show how Jesus meets men where they are?whether they have a mission, hunger for reality, heart for others, or willingness to step out in faith?and shapes them into disciples who touch the world. He challenges the men present to pursue deeper relationships and become builders of other men.
How to Tell Christmas Time

How to Tell Christmas Time

Pastor Jack draws from the Christmas narrative and Isaiah 9 to explore the promise that God's jealous commitment ensures our fulfillment. He explains that the Hebrew word for "zeal" carries the meaning of jealousy?not the toxic kind, but God's intolerance of anything that would hinder our mutual fulfillment with Him. Through personal stories of congregants facing discouragement, fear, and loss, Pastor Jack illustrates how we come to know the names of Christ?Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace?only through the very trials that threaten to overwhelm us.
Learning to Think Like Jesus, Pt. 3

Learning to Think Like Jesus, Pt. 3

In this Men's Growth Seminar, Pastor Jack unpacks the profound theological concept of the kenosis?Christ's voluntary emptying of Himself to become fully human. He teaches that Jesus didn't function as Superman in a man's body, but as sinless man who laid aside His divine prerogatives to show what God can accomplish through surrendered humanity. Pastor Jack also defines the unique purpose of Men's Growth Seminars: not mere fellowship or inspiration, but reproducing mature men who minister Christ's life to others.
Learning to Think Like Jesus, Pt. 2

Learning to Think Like Jesus, Pt. 2

Pastor Jack teaches on the pathway to spiritual authority, drawing from Philippians 2 to reveal how Jesus' humility and servanthood model the way believers must think and live. He unpacks the first three of seven steps Christ took?releasing divine privilege, refusing reputation, and embracing servanthood?challenging men to lay aside competitive pride and status-seeking in order to walk in true Kingdom authority and maturity.
The Partnership Redemption Brings

The Partnership Redemption Brings

Pastor Jack explores the biblical foundation for marriage partnership, beginning with God's creation of man and woman as "Adam" ? a single identity. He traces how sin disrupted this unity and how redemption through Christ makes restoration possible, calling couples to pursue mutual partnership rather than dominance or equality. Through practical teaching and personal examples from his 22-year marriage, Pastor Jack guides husbands and wives toward their God-given roles and the recovery of oneness that was lost in the fall.
