Preparing for the Kingdom

Preparing for the Kingdom

Pastor Jack introduces a new series on the Kingdom of God, teaching that it's not merely a distant heaven but a present rulership available to believers today. Drawing from John the Baptist's message in Matthew 3, he explains that Jesus came to announce an option to living under Satan's current administration of this world? ?offering instead to establish God's loving rule in our lives here and now. Pastor Jack challenges religious bigotry and superficiality, calling believers to prepare their hearts through repentance so the kingdom can burst forth in them and flow through them to others.
A Father? ?s Forgiveness

A Father? ?s Forgiveness

In this Father's Day message, Pastor Jack explores the heart of God the Father through the parable of the prodigal son. Drawing from Luke 15, he addresses how our distorted views of fatherhood? ?shaped by earthly failures and broken relationships? ?often prevent us from truly understanding God's compassionate, welcoming posture toward us. Pastor Jack emphasizes five aspects of the father's response in verse 20: he saw, had compassion, ran, embraced, and kissed his returning son, revealing a God who eagerly anticipates our return and runs to receive us in grace.
My Mind? ?s Made Up: Don? ?t Confuse Me With the Facts

My Mind? ?s Made Up: Don? ?t Confuse Me With the Facts

In this message, Pastor Jack explores the confrontation between belief and unbelief found in Acts chapter 5, where the apostles face imprisonment and persecution for preaching in Jesus' name. Drawing from the title "My Mind's Made Up, Don't Confuse Me with the Facts," he contrasts those who tenaciously cling to disbelief despite overwhelming evidence of God's power with believers who must develop an equally tenacious faith commitment. Pastor Jack challenges both unbelievers to repent and turn their minds to God, and believers to trust God wholly without being confused by circumstances, opposition, or physical assault.
The Kingdom of God, Pt. 1

The Kingdom of God, Pt. 1

Pastor Jack draws from Matthew 3 and 4 to introduce a systematic study on the Kingdom of God. He clarifies that the Kingdom is not merely heaven or institutional Christianity, but the rulership of God breaking into this present world through anointed, Spirit-filled believers. Pastor Jack teaches that just as Jesus was born of the Spirit, baptized in water, and filled with the Holy Spirit, believers are called to the same three-fold baptism that authorizes them to function as "kingdom people"—bringing God's rule into the darkness, setting captives free, and overcoming the dominion of Satan.
