How to Minister the Love of God to Others

by | Jun 13, 2026

Pastor Jack draws from the account of Jesus washing His disciples' feet in John 13 to teach on how believers can minister God's love to one another. He emphasizes that the power and blessing of a church flows not from particular practices or traditions, but from the authentic flow of God's love among His people. Walking through Jesus' deliberate actions—rising from supper, laying aside His garments, girding Himself as a servant, pouring water in a basin, and washing their feet—Pastor Jack unpacks practical principles for loving ministry that goes beyond superficial interaction to genuine, humble service.

In this message, Pastor Jack draws from the Parable of the Stewards in Luke 12 to explore the practical, down-to-earth aspects of spiritual stewardship. He describes four types of stewards Jesus identifies, emphasizing that believers will be held accountable for what they've been given—and that much is given to those in the church. Pastor Jack challenges the congregation to faithful stewardship in ministry, giving, home meetings, and service, preparing them for a new season of growth and responsibility.

Pastor Jack teaches on the vital importance of practical, everyday ministry in the life of believers. Drawing from Matthew 25 and 1 Corinthians 12-14, he challenges the congregation to move beyond spiritualized concepts of service to tangible acts of love—helping single mothers with childcare, befriending prisoners, spending time with children who lack father figures, and supporting overwhelmed spouses. Pastor Jack emphasizes that true ministry is often inconvenient and costly, but it reflects Christ's own sacrificial love and completes "that which is behind of the sufferings of Christ for His body's sake."

Pastor Jack teaches on preparing for ministry by examining the attitudes and mindset required for effective service in the body of Christ. Drawing from Romans 12:3 and Philippians 2, he emphasizes the importance of sound-minded thinking about one's calling, avoiding both false humility and grasping for position, and following Christ's example of humility and non-grasping surrender to the Father's will.
Body Ministry: A Need to Exercise

Body Ministry: A Need to Exercise

by | May 13, 2026

Pastor Jack teaches from 1 Corinthians 12 on the ministry of the body of Christ, emphasizing that every member has a God-given ministry. He explains how the entire Godhead cooperates in equipping believers: the Father gives grace and faith for ministry, Jesus gives leadership gifts to develop the body, and the Holy Spirit gives gifts to empower each person's calling. Pastor Jack warns against the error of the Nicolaitans—creating a hierarchy that divides clergy from laity—and challenges believers to discover and exercise their individual ministries within the local church.
