Have Yourself a Maranatha Christmas

In this Christmas morning message from 1977, Pastor Jack teaches on what he calls a "Maranatha Christmas"?celebrating not only that Christ came, but that He is coming again.

The Danger Signs Pointing Back

Pastor Jack teaches on maintaining spiritual readiness for Christ's return, using the parable of the ten virgins and the story of Lot's wife. He emphasizes that spiritual preparedness isn't about keeping rigid lists of do's and don'ts, but about maintaining a current, vital work of the Holy Spirit in one's life through obedience to God's Word and responsive discipleship. Pastor Jack challenges the men to cultivate spiritual sensitivity in their own lives while learning to minister grace?not legalism?to others struggling with questionable practices.
One Spirit ? One Hope

One Spirit ? One Hope

Pastor Jack draws from Ephesians 4 to explore the foundational elements of Christian unity. Continuing a detailed study of the chapter, he focuses on three key phrases: "one Spirit," "one hope of your calling," and "one Lord." Pastor Jack teaches that true unity in the body of Christ requires embracing both the gifts and fruit of the Spirit, balancing triumph in Christ's authority with expectation of His return, and recognizing that God's hope for us is as certain as the blessed hope of the rapture.

Abraham’s Kids and God’s Brats

In this message, Pastor Jack explores the biblical distinction between spiritual and national Israel, teaching from Romans 9 on who is truly a Jew in God's eyes. Drawing from Revelation 7 and 14, he examines the role of the 144,000 sealed Jews who will survive the tribulation and become messengers of the gospel in the millennial age, ultimately fulfilling God's original covenant that Israel would be a "kingdom of priests" to the world.
Beginning to Reign

Beginning to Reign

Pastor Jack teaches on the millennium, challenging common evangelical assumptions about the end times and emphasizing the church's present role in spiritual warfare and intercession. Drawing from Revelation 20, he explores three major millennial views?premillennial, postmillennial, and amillennial?finding value and weakness in each, while calling believers to occupy positions of spiritual authority now through prayer and intercession. Pastor Jack suggests that the church's ministry of casting down principalities and powers in prayer may be essential preparation for reigning with Christ in the millennium.
