The Wisdom of Giving Thanks ? 1977

The Wisdom of Giving Thanks ? 1977

Pastor Jack draws from Psalm 122 and current events in the Middle East to explore the wisdom of giving thanks and intercessory prayer. In this Thanksgiving Eve service from 1977, he examines the prophetic significance of Egyptian President Anwar Sadat's historic visit to Jerusalem, calling believers to pray strategically for peace in the region, for the United States to stand firm with Israel, and for discernment as prophetic events unfold. The message culminates in worship and prayer ministry, emphasizing that thanksgiving keeps people spiritually "straight" and aligned with God's purposes.
Taking Inventory on His Name

Taking Inventory on His Name

Pastor Jack draws from the closing chapters of Malachi to encourage a spirit of gratitude rooted not in circumstances, but in who God is. He highlights a remnant who "thought upon His name"—taking inventory of God's redemptive character revealed through names like Jehovah Jireh, Jehovah Rapha, and Jehovah Shalom—and shows how each finds its fulfillment in Jesus. In a season marked by thanksgiving, Pastor Jack calls believers to count their blessings in Christ and speak often to one another about His faithfulness.
