New Testament Circumcision

New Testament Circumcision

Pastor Jack draws from the life of Abraham to teach on the New Testament understanding of circumcision. He explains that just as God gave Abraham the sign of circumcision as a seal of faith and promise that life would flow from him to bless all nations, God has given the church the gift of spiritual language as a sign and seal that life-giving power will flow from our lips. Pastor Jack emphasizes that this spiritual mark, like Abraham's physical one, is not about establishing righteousness but about confirming God's promise to work through us? not by the energy of the flesh, but by His power alone.
The Price of a Priestly Ministry

The Price of a Priestly Ministry

Pastor Jack teaches through Hebrews chapter 5, exploring Jesus' priestly ministry and comparing it to the Old Testament priesthood of Aaron and the mysterious order of Melchizedek. He draws powerful parallels between Christ's suffering in Gethsemane and the refining work God does in believers, showing that Jesus became "the author of eternal salvation" through his obedient suffering. Pastor Jack explains that Christians are called to a priestly ministry? not as religious professionals, but as "on-ramps" that help bring people to Jesus? and that this ministry comes at a price: the refining fire of obedience through suffering.
When the Holy Honeymoon is Over

When the Holy Honeymoon is Over

Pastor Jack teaches from Hebrews chapter 3, addressing what happens when the initial enthusiasm of faith fades and believers face long-term tests. He explores how the Israelites failed to enter the Promised Land because they refused to move forward in faith, and urges the congregation not to revert to old patterns but to confess God's promises and trust Him to perform them, even in weakness and trial.

Bear Hard to Your Right, or You? ?ll Miss Seeing It

In this message, Pastor Jack explores Hebrews chapter 2, teaching on the greatness of salvation and the need to hold firmly to what we've heard lest we drift away. He emphasizes that Jesus not only conquered death and the devil through His incarnation and resurrection, but also fully identifies with our weaknesses and temptations, enabling us to overcome every circumstance by looking to Him rather than our failures.
Beginning With Spiritual Gifts

Beginning With Spiritual Gifts

Pastor Jack teaches on spiritual gifts, beginning with 1 Corinthians 12. He emphasizes that all spiritual gifts involve utterance and that God has "unplugged" our mouths from sin's silence to speak life, wisdom, and healing. Pastor Jack explains that the baptism with the Holy Spirit is the gateway to exercising spiritual gifts, and he calls the congregation to move from merely talking about being a "ministering church" to actually functioning in the Spirit's power through words of wisdom, knowledge, prophecy, and healing.
