Your Pathway to Ministry as God? Man

Pastor Jack draws from 1 Timothy 3 to teach on the pathway to ministry as God's man, clarifying the biblical roles of elders and deacons. He addresses a mistake he made a year earlier? assuming the requirements for elders and deacons were similar? and explains that deacons are men being proven and developed in ministry, while elders must meet far more stringent character qualifications. Pastor Jack announces a new structure for discipleship seminars and family units in the church, designed to ensure that every member is cared for and no one is neglected in daily ministry.

Pastor Jack emphasizes that God's method is not programs but people, and calls men to understand their identity as children, sons, and saints of God.

Men Who Shape History

Men Who Shape History

by | Jun 20, 2026

In this message, Pastor Jack traces the development of the Church on the Way, drawing powerful parallels to the New Testament church at Antioch. He shares how God has raised up ministries from their congregation? ?like the Come Together musical and Pat Boone's outreach? ?that have become known worldwide, fulfilling God's word that ministries would go out from them better known than the church itself. Pastor Jack also describes a season of personal seeking and testing regarding possible relocation to Reno, and how God used this to free him from dependence on the church's blessing rather than on Christ Himself, leading to new directives for expanding ministry and raising up elders.
