How to Handle Fear of Violence

by | Jun 27, 2026

Pastor Jack addresses the growing fear of violence gripping his city in December 1977, prompted by specific incidents affecting members of his own family and congregation. Drawing from Psalm 91, he teaches practical steps for handling fear: confronting it honestly before God, identifying its demonic source, specifying the exact fear, and standing on God's promises. He illustrates these principles through a tender account of reading Psalm 91 with his nine-year-old daughter who was afraid at bedtime, showing how Scripture and worship displace fear with faith.

One Faith – The Gift/A Gift

by | Jun 27, 2026

Pastor Jack explores the tension between unity and diversity in the body of Christ, focusing on the phrase "one faith" from Ephesians 4. He distinguishes between "the gift" of faith?the foundational capacity God gives every person to believe, culminating in salvation?and "a gift" of faith?a specific spiritual gift the Holy Spirit distributes for particular situations. Pastor Jack emphasizes that true faith involves both believing in the heart and confessing with the mouth, and warns against mechanical repetition divorced from genuine Spirit-quickened conviction.
Your Feet Shod With Peace

Your Feet Shod With Peace

by | Jun 27, 2026

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.

Pastor Jack draws from Psalm 122 and current events in the Middle East to explore the wisdom of giving thanks and intercessory prayer. In this Thanksgiving Eve service from 1977, he examines the prophetic significance of Egyptian President Anwar Sadat's historic visit to Jerusalem, calling believers to pray strategically for peace in the region, for the United States to stand firm with Israel, and for discernment as prophetic events unfold. The message culminates in worship and prayer ministry, emphasizing that thanksgiving keeps people spiritually "straight" and aligned with God's purposes.
The Breastplate of Righteousness

The Breastplate of Righteousness

by | Jun 27, 2026

Pastor Jack teaches from Ephesians 6 on the breastplate of righteousness as part of the believer's spiritual armor. He explains that righteousness is not about our own performance or good deeds, but rather Christ's righteousness attributed to us through faith. Drawing on the imagery of Roman armor, Pastor Jack shows how worship and understanding God's love form the foundation for effective spiritual warfare, enabling believers to stand confidently against the enemy's accusations and bring God's rightness into wrong situations through prayer.
