Developing Dimensions of Spirit-Filled Living

Developing Dimensions of Spirit-Filled Living

Developing Dimensions of Spirit-Filled Living

by | Jun 27, 2026

Pastor Jack explores the third chapter of Ephesians, focusing on developing dimensions of true Spirit-filled living. Using vivid illustrations of palm trees, the Empire State Building, and reservoirs, he emphasizes that being filled with the Holy Spirit isn't merely a one-time experience but should lead to ongoing stability and spiritual growth. Pastor Jack teaches that God desires believers to be rooted and grounded, strengthened with might by His Spirit in the inner man, so they can become resources of God's love and power to others.
Freedom From Fear

Freedom From Fear

by | Jun 27, 2026

Pastor Jack draws from the list of common bondage points he introduced in a previous session and reveals how nearly all of them trace back to a single root: fear. Using Proverbs 29:25 as his foundation, he teaches that the fear of man brings a snare, but those who trust in the Lord will be safe. He explores the nature of fear, its many expressions?from defensiveness to withdrawal?and shows how imperfect authority figures in our past create patterns of fear. Pastor Jack emphasizes that God is our "boethos," the One who comes running when we cry for help, and that perfect love expressed through praying in the Spirit will erode the roots of fear and bring freedom.
Ezekiel’s Lesson in Intercession

Ezekiel’s Lesson in Intercession

by | Jun 27, 2026

Pastor Jack draws from the book of Ezekiel to unpack powerful lessons on intercession. He explains that an intercessor stands in the gap between God and man, both praying for people before God and speaking God's love to people. Through Ezekiel's example, Pastor Jack teaches that true intercession flows from a personal encounter with God's glory, compassion for the lost, obedience to speak God's word, and a willingness to embrace inconvenience for the sake of others.
Why Some Prayers Don’t Seem to Succeed, Pt. 2

Why Some Prayers Don’t Seem to Succeed, Pt. 2

by | Jun 27, 2026

Pastor Jack teaches on barriers to effective prayer, focusing specifically on the critical role of forgiveness and reconciliation in our approach to God. Drawing from Matthew 5, he explains how harboring unforgiveness?even when we are not the offender?blocks our prayers and worship, and how God calls us to be initiators of reconciliation just as Christ was. Pastor Jack emphasizes that God will not allow us to persist in unforgiveness without consequences, and that learning the spirit of forgiveness is essential to maturity and answered prayer.
Why Some Prayers Don’t Seem to Succeed, Pt. 1

Why Some Prayers Don’t Seem to Succeed, Pt. 1

by | Jun 27, 2026

Pastor Jack explores the question of why some prayers seem to go unanswered, drawing from the disciples' failure to cast out a demon in Mark 9. He teaches that effectiveness in prayer often depends on three foundational disciplines: laying down a foundation of prayer and fasting, persisting in supplication and fasting (as illustrated by Daniel's 21-day struggle), and maintaining right relationships with others. Pastor Jack emphasizes that unanswered prayer isn't always God saying "no"?sometimes spiritual barriers must be broken through consistent spiritual discipline and reconciliation.
