How to Make Right Decisions

How to Make Right Decisions

Pastor Jack explores the process of making right decisions through integrity, dependence on God, and wise counsel. Drawing from Philippians 1:9-11, he teaches that God desires believers to abound in knowledge and discernment so they can approve what is excellent and bear spiritual fruit. Pastor Jack emphasizes three core principles: seek and believe God fully, fear neither the godly nor the ungodly in seeking counsel or standing firm, and act in complete integrity of heart without making provision for the flesh.
Genesis 34-40

Genesis 34-40

Pastor Jack teaches from Genesis chapters 34 through 40, examining how Jacob's incomplete obedience to God's call to Bethel resulted in tragedy for his family, particularly through Dinah's defilement. He explores the story of Joseph, emphasizing how Joseph serves as a powerful type of Christ?favored by the father, hated by his brethren, sold for a price, and ultimately becoming an instrument of deliverance. Pastor Jack also addresses the seemingly disturbing account in Genesis 38 involving Judah and Tamar, showing how God's redemptive grace works even through human failure to preserve the messianic line.

He carefully maps the geographic journey, chronology, and birth of Jacob's eleven sons during this period, while unpacking puzzling passages involving mandrakes and breeding strategies. Pastor Jack emphasizes that Jacob's prosperity came not from his own manipulations, but from God's sovereign blessing and direct guidance, illustrating how the Lord works through flawed, industrious people who simply respond to His voice.

How to Love Your Child Completely

Pastor Jack stresses the importance of parents establishing clear principles and proverbs to govern their home, explaining that foolishness in children must be addressed through consistent correction, communication, and when necessary, appropriate chastisement according to God's Word.
