Principles of Faith (1972)

Principles of Faith (1972)

Pastor Jack draws from Hebrews 12 to teach about enduring faith over the long haul, not just immediate answers to prayer. He highlights biblical figures like Noah, Abraham, and Moses who waited decades or even a century for God's promises to be fulfilled. Through this message, Pastor Jack encourages the congregation to lay aside weights and besetting sins, run with patience the race set before them, and keep looking to Jesus—the author and finisher of faith—especially during seasons of sustained spiritual struggle.
The Spirit of Truth and the Spirit of Error, Pt. 4

The Spirit of Truth and the Spirit of Error, Pt. 4

In this message, Pastor Jack explores the sources of truth through which God has revealed Himself to mankind. He teaches that truth is manifested in three ways: through creation, through the person of Jesus Christ, and through Scripture. Pastor Jack contrasts the spirit of truth with the spirit of error, emphasizing that Satan seeks to manifest himself through tangible objects and human lives, while God desires to dwell in His people through the Holy Spirit.
The Spirit of Truth and the Spirit of Error, Pt. 3

The Spirit of Truth and the Spirit of Error, Pt. 3

Pastor Jack explores the biblical view of man's high destiny and God's purpose for humanity. Drawing from Hebrews 2, Psalm 8, and other passages, he teaches that man was created to rule with God and judge angels, made lower than angels only for a little while. Pastor Jack contrasts this truth with the spirit of error, which seeks to diminish man's view of himself through humanism, evolutionary theory, and reincarnation—all designed to avoid the need for repentance and keep humanity under demonic dominion.
The Authority of the Believer, Pt. 3

The Authority of the Believer, Pt. 3

In this message, Pastor Jack wraps up a four-part series on the authority of the believer. He teaches that every member of the body of Christ, regardless of prominence, holds significance and authority through the name of Jesus. Pastor Jack emphasizes three foundational principles for walking in spiritual authority: maturity, liberty, and purity, showing from Ephesians how believers have been raised and seated with Christ above all demonic powers and how this resurrection life frees us from both the fear of death and the limitations of our fleshly nature.
The Authority of the Believer, Pt. 2

The Authority of the Believer, Pt. 2

Pastor Jack teaches on the believer's authority, focusing on the necessity of liberation from bondage to self for effective ministry. Drawing from Ephesians 1:19-23 and Romans 6-7, he explains how believers can exercise spiritual authority only when they understand both their freedom from death's eternal penalty and from the power of sin working in their present flesh. He emphasizes that Jesus' resurrection power now works within believers to free them from fear, self-bondage, and limitations that would hinder their ministry to others.
