Unbuttoning Buttoned-Down Religion, Romans #6

by | May 25, 2026

Pastor Jack teaches on Romans 2, contrasting the "inexcusable heathen" of chapter 1 with the "inexcusable religionist" who is bound up in religious knowledge. Drawing from the text, he challenges believers to avoid judgmentalism and self-righteousness, emphasizing that God's kindness leads to continual repentance—a constant reshaping of the mind and heart. Pastor Jack calls the congregation to maintain humble, teachable spirits, reminding them that spiritual growth is a lifelong journey and there is always "much, much more" to learn from the Lord.
The Plan to Restoring Authority, Nehemiah #4

The Plan to Restoring Authority, Nehemiah #4

by | May 25, 2026

Pastor Jack draws from Nehemiah chapter 3, illustrating how the restoration of Jerusalem's walls represents the rebuilding of our souls through interdependent fellowship. He emphasizes that while individual salvation comes through Christ alone, spiritual wholeness requires believers to work shoulder-to-shoulder in community, accepting and ministering to one another despite differences in maturity, habits, and convictions. Pastor Jack challenges the congregation to open their homes and hearts to fellow believers, even those who may be different or difficult, reminding them that true Christian maturity is measured not by personal liberty but by how we love and build up weaker brothers and sisters.
The Spirit of Truth and the Spirit of Error, Pt. 6

The Spirit of Truth and the Spirit of Error, Pt. 6

by | May 25, 2026

Pastor Jack concludes his series "The Spirit of Truth and the Spirit of Error" by examining what the Bible says about astrology, divination, and other occult practices. Drawing from Romans 6 and multiple Old Testament passages, he warns believers to avoid dabbling in spiritual darkness—not as a legalistic requirement for salvation, but as wisdom for walking in freedom. Pastor Jack emphasizes that both God and Satan seek physical expression through human bodies, and believers must yield themselves to the Spirit of truth rather than error.
Confession of Sin: A Gateway to the Holy Spirit Healing the Personality, Nehemiah #2

Confession of Sin: A Gateway to the Holy Spirit Healing the Personality, Nehemiah #2

by | May 25, 2026

Pastor Jack draws from the book of Nehemiah to teach about the restoration of the human personality after salvation. He explains that while the temple in Jerusalem was restored (representing the restored spirit), the walls remained broken down—a picture of believers whose spirits are alive but whose souls (mind, emotions, will) still bear the rubble of their past. Pastor Jack presents Nehemiah as a picture of the Holy Spirit, the Comforter who comes to lead us in rebuilding the walls of our personality through confession, prayer in the Spirit, and the edifying work of God's presence.
The Spirit of Truth and the Spirit of Error, Pt. 5

The Spirit of Truth and the Spirit of Error, Pt. 5

by | May 25, 2026

Pastor Jack draws from Deuteronomy 18 and 1 Samuel 28 to expose the dangers of occult practices and familiar spirits in a generation increasingly drawn to darkness. He unpacks the story of Saul and the witch of Endor, explaining why believers must completely avoid necromancy, divination, witchcraft, and all forms of spiritual dabbling—not out of superstitious fear, but out of obedience to God. Pastor Jack calls the church to walk in the light of the Holy Spirit, stay grounded in Scripture, and recognize that true spiritual contact comes only through Jesus Christ and the Spirit of truth.
