The Ministry of Prophecy

The Ministry of Prophecy

The Ministry of Prophecy

by | Jun 6, 2026

In this message, Pastor Jack explores the ministry of prophecy, drawing clear distinctions between the office of the prophet and the believer's exercise of the gift of prophecy. He teaches from 1 Corinthians 14 about the nature and purpose of prophecy—for edification, exhortation, and comfort—and gives practical guidance on how believers can cultivate and appropriately exercise this spiritual gift in the body of Christ.
Survey of New Testament Ministries

Survey of New Testament Ministries

by | Jun 6, 2026

Pastor Jack draws from Romans 12 and 1 Corinthians 12 to survey the spiritual gifts and ministries God has given to the church. He carefully distinguishes between the domata (gifts given by Christ to develop the church—apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, teachers) and the charismata (the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed as He wills). Pastor Jack emphasizes that every believer has significance in the body of Christ, and teaches that ministries function in faith, love, and hope, calling the congregation to practical, Spirit-empowered service.
Spiritual Stewardship, Pt 1

Spiritual Stewardship, Pt 1

by | Jun 6, 2026

Pastor Jack teaches on the true meaning of spiritual stewardship, moving beyond traditional notions of giving to reveal it as our responsibility to share the riches of Christ. Drawing from Ephesians 3, he explores how God has made us stewards—like Joseph and Eliezer in the Old Testament—entrusted with the unsearchable riches of the kingdom to invest in others. Pastor Jack explains that the gospel is not merely forgiveness, but the restoration of man's lost authority and dominion, bringing freedom from Satan's rule through the anointing of the Holy Spirit.
Practical Ministry for the Believer

Practical Ministry for the Believer

by | Jun 6, 2026

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."
Preparing for Your Ministry

Preparing for Your Ministry

by | Jun 6, 2026

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.
