Answering the Attack on Femininity and Womanhood

Answering the Attack on Femininity and Womanhood

Pastor Jack explores the concept of Jesus as our kinsman redeemer, drawing from the story of Ruth and Boaz. He emphasizes Christ's total identification with humanity through the incarnation and baptism, and how believers can come under His covering for forgiveness, righteousness, and power. The message includes practical teaching on women's ministries at the church, outlining four ministry phases: teaching, fellowship, service, and special events.
On The Washing of Feet

On The Washing of Feet

Pastor Jack draws from the account of Jesus washing His disciples' feet to reveal the demanding call to love and serve one another. He explains that Jesus loved His disciples "unto the end"? ?meaning unto the objective or purpose of His love? ?which was to teach them radical humility, vulnerability, and submission to one another. Through this powerful example, Pastor Jack challenges believers to strip away self-protection and pride, to help one another walk in cleanness, and to understand that true discipleship means getting low enough to wash each other's feet.
The Biblical Basis for Men? ?s Ministries

The Biblical Basis for Men? ?s Ministries

Pastor Jack draws from Ephesians 4 to teach on the structure and development of New Testament ministries, with particular focus on the roles of elders, deacons, and pastor-teachers. Recorded at a Men's Ministries Breakfast in 1974, he announces a significant transition in the church's ministry approach, unveiling a new plan for Elder's Discipleship Seminars designed to raise up mature men for ministry. Pastor Jack emphasizes that every believer is called to be a minister? ?not a "layman"? ?and explains how God develops saints through the five-fold ministry gifts to build up the body of Christ.
Having Problems Doesn? ?t Mean You? ?re Unspiritual

Having Problems Doesn? ?t Mean You? ?re Unspiritual

In this message, Pastor Jack explores Acts 6:1-7, where the early church faced its first internal problem? ?the neglect of Grecian widows in daily ministry. Pastor Jack teaches that having problems doesn't mean you're unspiritual; rather, it's how you handle them that matters. He shows how the apostles responded by establishing God-ordained leadership and raising up deacons, demonstrating that growing churches require growing people who learn to minister in the power of the Holy Spirit.
How to Minister the Love of God to Others

How to Minister the Love of God to Others

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.
