The Economics of the Kingdom: The Problem

The Economics of the Kingdom: The Problem

Pastor Jack draws from 2 Corinthians 8 to launch a series on the economics of the kingdom of God. He addresses the difficulty of teaching on giving due to the history of religious abuse and charlatanism, but emphasizes that God's grace enables believers to give joyfully and freely. Pastor Jack grounds all giving in the redemptive work of Christ, who gave Himself so that we might be rich toward God, and calls the congregation to overcome fear and selfishness through the Holy Spirit's work.
Exodus 12 – Dinner That Delivers

Exodus 12 – Dinner That Delivers

Pastor Jack teaches on the institution of the Passover from Exodus 12, exploring how the blood of the lamb provided deliverance for Israel from Egypt's bondage. He draws rich parallels between the Passover lamb and Jesus Christ, showing how the covenant meal established a new beginning for God's people and how communion continues that pattern for believers today. Pastor Jack emphasizes the priesthood of the home and challenges men to take spiritual responsibility for their households under the covering of the Lamb's blood.
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.
Travail and Delivery

Travail and Delivery

Pastor Jack draws from Isaiah 53 to teach on the profound connection between Christ's suffering and our spiritual journey. He explains how Jesus entered into travail on the cross so that believers, though barren, could bring forth spiritual life without having travailed themselves? yet he also teaches that for the promises we conceive to reach full delivery, we too must enter seasons of travail. Using the vivid metaphor of childbirth, Pastor Jack encourages the church to endure the pain and pressure of spiritual labor with joy, knowing that Christ walks with us through every trial and guarantees triumph.
