Pastor Jack draws from Ephesians 4 to teach on the structure and development of New Testament ministries, with particular focus on the roles of elders, deacons, and pastor-teachers.

Pastor Jack emphasizes that every believer is called to be a minister? ?not a "layman"? ?and explains how God develops saints through the five-fold ministry gifts to build up the body of Christ.

In this message, Pastor Jack explores Acts 6:1-7, where the early church faced its first internal problem? ?the neglect of Grecian widows in daily ministry. Pastor Jack teaches that having problems doesn't mean you're unspiritual; rather, it's how you handle them that matters. He shows how the apostles responded by establishing God-ordained leadership and raising up deacons, demonstrating that growing churches require growing people who learn to minister in the power of the Holy Spirit.

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.

Testimony of Learning Obedience (Pastor Jack Hayford’s personal testimony)

by | Jun 13, 2026

On the occasion of his 39th birthday, Pastor Jack shares his personal testimony for the first time in 18 years of ministry, tracing God's faithfulness from childhood miracles through to the founding of The Church on the Way. He recounts how the Lord healed him as an infant from a birth injury and from polio at age two, called him to ministry at age eight, and taught him through years of learning obedience to surrender position and trust God's vision. Pastor Jack concludes by encouraging the congregation that the same principles of obedience, brokenness, and faith that shaped his life can work in theirs as they embrace God's vision for the church as a ministering body.
