Learning to Know God the Father

Learning to Know God the Father

by | Jun 6, 2026

Pastor Jack teaches on understanding the character of God the Father, delivered on Father's Day 1973. He explains that our ability to submit to God and grow spiritually is directly proportional to how well we understand the Father's heart toward us. Pastor Jack addresses how Satan, distorted human relationships, and poor theology have corrupted people's image of God, and shows how Jesus came to restore the true picture of a loving, trustworthy Father.
The Art of Forgiving Yourself

The Art of Forgiving Yourself

by | Jun 6, 2026

Pastor Jack explores the parable of the prodigal son to teach about God's radical acceptance and the importance of learning to forgive and love yourself. Drawing from the father's overwhelming reception of his wayward son—with robe, ring, shoes, and feast—Pastor Jack shows how God wants believers to stop condemning themselves and walk in the confidence and authority that comes from being fully clothed in Christ's righteousness. This message, recorded during a communion service, invites listeners to accept God's declaration of love and to stop living as spiritual slaves when they've been made sons and daughters.
A Brief Study in the Book of Ruth

A Brief Study in the Book of Ruth

by | Jun 6, 2026

Pastor Jack teaches on the Book of Ruth, unveiling the powerful theme of covering and redemption. He explains how Boaz, as kinsman-redeemer, foreshadows Jesus Christ who became our kinsman through the Incarnation to redeem us and bring us under His covering—His blood, His name, and His glory. The sermon concludes with an altar call and a beautiful song, "Cover Me," inviting believers to submit fully to Christ's authority and provision.
The Church that Jesus Builds

The Church that Jesus Builds

by | Jun 6, 2026

Drawing from his very first sermon as pastor at the Church on the Way, Pastor Jack explores the foundational passage where Jesus declares, "I will build my church." Preaching now at the beginning of his fifth year, he unpacks four earmarks of the church Christ builds: a church that knows the whole Christ (not a fragmented view), a church where believers discover their true identity in Him, a church built by Jesus Himself (not human effort), and a church that conquers the gates of hell through kingdom authority.
Spiritual Worship

Spiritual Worship

by | Jun 6, 2026

Pastor Jack teaches on the priority and pattern of spiritual worship, anchoring his message in Romans 12:1-2. He emphasizes that true worship involves the whole person—spirit, mind, and body—and that presenting our bodies to God is not merely rational service but spiritual worship. Drawing from both Old and New Testament practices, Pastor Jack challenges cultural and aesthetic reservations about physical expressions of worship, urging believers to embrace wholehearted worship as their primary calling and the key to fulfillment in God.
