Your Feet Shod With Peace

Your Feet Shod With Peace

Pastor Jack teaches on spiritual warfare and the importance of standing firm in God's peace. Drawing from Ephesians 6:15, he explains that having our feet "shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace" means standing on ground already prepared by God?not something we create through our own effort or bold declarations. Using the dramatic true story of a woman in the 1964 Alaska earthquake, Pastor Jack illustrates how genuine peace comes from turning our hearts to God's promises in the midst of life's cataclysms, reminding us that our strength in spiritual battle flows from knowing we are completely united with Christ.
Blessed Are the Peacemakers

Blessed Are the Peacemakers

Pastor Jack draws from Isaiah's prophecy of the Prince of Peace and Jesus' teaching on peacemakers to reveal that believers are called to be "princes of peace"?offspring of Christ who actively rule and make peace happen. He teaches that peacemaking is not passive but requires spiritual authority to order, establish, and support broken situations through judgment (deliverance) and justice (righteousness), illustrating this with a recent ministry experience of bringing restoration to a marriage devastated by adultery and spiritual blindness.
The Peace Child

The Peace Child

Pastor Jack draws from the true story of Don Richardson's mission to the Sawi tribe in New Guinea to illuminate Ephesians 2:14 ? "For he is our peace." He recounts how this savage, cannibalistic people valued treachery as nobility, making Judas the hero of the gospel until Richardson discovered their cultural concept of the "peace child." This powerful analogy unlocked the gospel message, revealing Jesus as God's eternal peace child who secures lasting peace with God and one another through His death and resurrection.
Gifts of the Godhead, Pt. 2

Gifts of the Godhead, Pt. 2

Pastor Jack teaches on the abundant giving nature of God, drawing from the imagery of the Father of Lights who gives unceasingly to His children. He explores how each member of the Trinity? ?Father, Son, and Holy Spirit? ?pours out distinct gifts to meet man's existence, redemption, and the church's extension. In the second part of the service, Pastor Jack calls the congregation to tiptoe into Christmas with quietness and worship, seeking the peace of God amid the clamor of the season.
Testimony of Triumph (Death of an infant or young child)

Testimony of Triumph (Death of an infant or young child)

In this powerful message, Pastor Jack shares the testimony of Keith and Peggy Stabes, whose infant son Jeffrey passed away after days of fervent prayer by the congregation. Through this heart-wrenching experience, Pastor Jack teaches about maintaining an unwavering faith stance that neither cops out into passivity nor falls into legalistic explanations when outcomes differ from our prayers. He demonstrates how genuine triumph in Christ transcends circumstances, showing that victory isn't always defined by the results we expect, but by the peace and assurance that comes from walking with Jesus through every situation.
