Planning Your Personal Growth

In this leadership training seminar, Pastor Jack challenges men to examine where they will be six months from now.

Becoming the Man Who Fulfills His Ministry

Pastor Jack teaches on the biblical qualifications for deacons and elders from 1 Timothy 3, encouraging men to grow into established ministry roles in the body of Christ.

Throughout the message, Pastor Jack emphasizes that spiritual maturity is a journey available to every believer regardless of age or background, calling men to set their sights on growing in character and ministry influence.
Men Who Shape History

Men Who Shape History

Pastor Jack teaches on Stephen, the first martyr of the early church, showing how God takes ordinary men and develops them into history-shapers. Drawing from Acts 6:8 through 8:4, Pastor Jack emphasizes that Stephen was not merely a martyr but a man of honest report, full of the Holy Spirit, who faithfully served in practical ministry before miracles began flowing through his life. He challenges the men of the congregation to become "glory men" ? ? born again, Spirit-filled believers who mature in wisdom and love, allowing God to deeply mark them for kingdom purposes.
The Way to Stop Church Growth …Well, Almost

The Way to Stop Church Growth …Well, Almost

Pastor Jack teaches from Acts 4 and 5 about the tension between church growth and spiritual integrity. He explores how the Holy Spirit's demand for purity? ?as seen in the sobering account of Ananias and Sapphira? ?could have stopped the early church's explosive growth, yet instead produced a deeper work of grace. Pastor Jack challenges believers to surrender possessions, embrace radical generosity, and allow the Holy Spirit to work a thoroughgoing transformation in their hearts.
