The Economics of the Kingdom: The Problem

The Economics of the Kingdom: The Problem

Pastor Jack draws from 2 Corinthians 8 to launch a series on the economics of the kingdom of God. He addresses the difficulty of teaching on giving due to the history of religious abuse and charlatanism, but emphasizes that God's grace enables believers to give joyfully and freely. Pastor Jack grounds all giving in the redemptive work of Christ, who gave Himself so that we might be rich toward God, and calls the congregation to overcome fear and selfishness through the Holy Spirit's work.
Worshipping Him Who Is Worthy

Worshipping Him Who Is Worthy

Pastor Jack teaches from Revelation 5 on the worthiness of the Lamb who was slain, exploring how worship is the atmosphere in which God's kingdom and righteousness are established. He explains that the scroll Jesus takes represents the title deed to earth, and that the breaking of its seven seals will progressively rid the earth of unrighteousness through righteous judgment. Pastor Jack emphasizes that we overcome not by human determination but by the spirit of the Lamb?through worship, submission, and praise?which creates the environment for God's delivering power to expel darkness and establish His rule.
The Spirit of the Lamb

The Spirit of the Lamb

Pastor Jack draws from the Gospel of Luke to explore a vital but often overlooked dimension of kingdom living?the Spirit of the Lamb. Through Jesus' rebuke of James and John for wanting to call down fire on their enemies, Pastor Jack teaches that the greatest victories come not through forceful displays of power, but through meekness, sacrifice, and the willingness to be vulnerable for righteousness' sake. He reminds believers that while we are called to walk in authority, we are also sent forth as sheep among wolves, and that the Lamb who was slain ultimately wins through love and surrender to the Father's will.
Worship Around the Throne

Worship Around the Throne

Pastor Jack draws from Revelation 4 to teach about the centrality of worship around God's throne. He shares a remarkable account of how the Lord revealed to the congregation that as they align themselves with continuous praise?just as the four cherubim ceaselessly worship around heaven's throne?God's glory and power are established in their midst. Pastor Jack emphasizes that much work requires much worship, and that God's ruling presence invades circumstances where His people create a climate of sustained adoration.
Worship: The Foundation of All Power

Worship: The Foundation of All Power

Pastor Jack teaches on the essential role of worship in releasing God's power and authority in the lives of believers and the church. Drawing from Matthew 28 and Psalm 22, he explains how praise serves as the foundation that invites God's throne and rule to descend into earthly circumstances. Pastor Jack emphasizes that while God's throne in heaven needs no support, worship and praise from His people create the pathway for His kingdom power to break into situations dominated by darkness, sin, or human failure.
