The Husband-Wife Relationship, 1973

by | Jun 13, 2026

Pastor Jack draws from Ephesians 5 to explore the husband-wife relationship as a reflection of Christ's commitment to the church. He emphasizes that husbands bear the full responsibility for the success of their marriage, just as Christ pours Himself out for His bride, and challenges men to learn from Jesus' example of sacrificial love, patience, and understanding. Pastor Jack also addresses the broader issues of marriage, divorce, and God's unchanging commitment to His people.

Learning to Know God the Father

by | Jun 6, 2026

Pastor Jack teaches on understanding the character of God the Father, delivered on Father's Day 1973. He explains that our ability to submit to God and grow spiritually is directly proportional to how well we understand the Father's heart toward us. Pastor Jack addresses how Satan, distorted human relationships, and poor theology have corrupted people's image of God, and shows how Jesus came to restore the true picture of a loving, trustworthy Father.
The Art of Forgiving Yourself

The Art of Forgiving Yourself

by | Jun 6, 2026

Pastor Jack explores the parable of the prodigal son to teach about God's radical acceptance and the importance of learning to forgive and love yourself. Drawing from the father's overwhelming reception of his wayward son—with robe, ring, shoes, and feast—Pastor Jack shows how God wants believers to stop condemning themselves and walk in the confidence and authority that comes from being fully clothed in Christ's righteousness. This message, recorded during a communion service, invites listeners to accept God's declaration of love and to stop living as spiritual slaves when they've been made sons and daughters.
Settling Problems in the Will of God

Settling Problems in the Will of God

by | Jun 6, 2026

Pastor Jack draws from the story of Abraham and Lot in Genesis 13 to explore how walking in God's will involves navigating relationships with grace and humility. He teaches that conflict is inevitable even among believers pursuing God's purposes, but the biblical pattern shows us how to resolve people problems through direct, loving confrontation, acknowledging our brotherhood in Christ, and trusting God's faithfulness rather than grasping at our rights. Pastor Jack emphasizes that we cannot separate loving God from loving people, and that spiritual fruitfulness comes as we learn to handle relationships with gentleness and understanding.
Survey of New Testament Ministries

Survey of New Testament Ministries

by | Jun 6, 2026

Pastor Jack draws from Romans 12 and 1 Corinthians 12 to survey the spiritual gifts and ministries God has given to the church. He carefully distinguishes between the domata (gifts given by Christ to develop the church—apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, teachers) and the charismata (the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed as He wills). Pastor Jack emphasizes that every believer has significance in the body of Christ, and teaches that ministries function in faith, love, and hope, calling the congregation to practical, Spirit-empowered service.
