Fulfilling All Righteousness

Fulfilling All Righteousness

Pastor Jack draws from the baptism of Jesus in Matthew 3 to teach on why believers need the baptism of the Holy Spirit. He explains that righteousness encompasses both our standing before God and our empowerment for ministry? ?Jesus said "thus it becomes us to fulfill all righteousness" when being baptized. Pastor Jack emphasizes that the Holy Spirit gives believers not only position and authority as sons of God, but also the power (dunamis) and ability to minister Christ's life and bring "rightness" where wrongness exists.
Men Resisting the World Image

Men Resisting the World Image

Pastor Jack draws from the creation account and the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego to explore God's desire to restore His image in men and resist the world's pressure to conform them to its mold. Speaking at the January 1974 men's retreat, he challenges scores of men to prepare themselves to become elders in the body of Christ, addressing patterns from the past, job, marriage, home, and schedule that need transformation. Pastor Jack emphasizes that true ministry flows not from what we do, but from who we are becoming as the Holy Spirit shapes Christ's image in us.

Yielding to the Right Master, Romans #17

Pastor Jack explores Romans 6:12-23, teaching on the vital place of yielding one's body to the Lord as a definitive act of faith that leads to victory in daily living. He explains how Christ's work on the cross not only dealt with the penalty and future presence of sin, but also provides present deliverance from the power of sin through our identification with His death, burial, and resurrection. Pastor Jack emphasizes that yielding to God is a matter of heart obedience that produces spiritual fruit over time, freeing believers from bondage as they consistently surrender their members to righteousness rather than to sin.
The Power of a New Identity, Romans #16

The Power of a New Identity, Romans #16

He explains that believers are not only freed from the penalty of sin through justification, but also from the power of sin through their complete identification with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection. Pastor Jack emphasizes that understanding this truth—that we were crucified, buried, and raised with Christ—enables the Holy Spirit to liberate us from habitual patterns of sin and empower us to walk in newness of life.
