The Pre-Christmas Carol

The Pre-Christmas Carol

The Pre-Christmas Carol

by | Jun 26, 2026

In this message, Pastor Jack explores the song Mary sang after Elizabeth confirmed the miraculous promise God had given her ? a song Pastor Jack calls "The Pre-Christmas Carol." Drawing from the Magnificat in Luke 1, he teaches on the vital principles that sustain believers during the waiting period between receiving God's promise and seeing its fulfillment. Pastor Jack emphasizes how our spirit rejoices when God speaks, but our soul (mind and emotions) often battles doubt and fear, and he shows how Mary's song reveals three anchors for faith: God's holy person, His invincible power, and His faithful promises.

Good Sense and the Holy Ghost

Pastor Jack draws from Ephesians 5 to challenge believers to walk with good sense in the fullness of the Holy Spirit. He emphasizes that Spirit-filled living is not mystical escapism but sound-minded, practical power for redeeming everyday situations. Throughout the message, Pastor Jack teaches on being filled with the Spirit, speaking and singing in worship, and entering into a dynamic encounter with Jesus that brings divine enablement for daily life.
Having a Baby Will Stretch You

Having a Baby Will Stretch You

by | Jun 26, 2026

Pastor Jack explores the theme of spiritual growth and transformation using vivid imagery from Luke 5:36-39. He teaches that when God brings new life and fresh workings into our lives, it requires us to be stretched and changed? we cannot simply patch the old with partial measures. Drawing parallels to childbearing, he emphasizes that receiving God's promises demands flexibility, renewal through the Word and Spirit, and willingness to abandon old patterns for complete transformation in Christ.
Seven Men

Seven Men

by | Jun 26, 2026

Pastor Jack draws from the first chapter of James to outline seven types of men that reflect different stages and aspects of spiritual maturity. Speaking at a men's retreat in 1975, he walks through the tried man, the lacking man, the wavering man, the humble man, the tempted man, the new man, and the mature man? inviting listeners to see themselves in each profile and to pursue God's refining work in their lives.
Unlearning the World? Teaching, Pt. 1

Unlearning the World? Teaching, Pt. 1

by | Jun 26, 2026

Pastor Jack draws from episodes in the Gospels to address how Jesus "unlearned" His disciples? helping them discern between worldly patterns of thought and Kingdom thinking. He walks through several occasions where Jesus corrected the disciples' assumptions, teaching them that righteousness doesn't guarantee being right, that no group has it all, and that maturity never exempts us from accepting the immature. Pastor Jack calls the men to a deeper discipleship, urging them to cultivate attitudes shaped by Jesus rather than conventional wisdom.
