Have Yourself a Maranatha Christmas

Have Yourself a Maranatha Christmas

In this Christmas morning message from 1977, Pastor Jack teaches on what he calls a "Maranatha Christmas"?celebrating not only that Christ came, but that He is coming again. Drawing from the story of Zacharias and Elizabeth in Luke 1, Pastor Jack explores how God chose ordinary people to play extraordinary roles in His redemptive plans, just as He desires to work through us today as we await Christ's return.
How to Live in Abundance Without Guilt

How to Live in Abundance Without Guilt

Pastor Jack teaches on how to live in God's abundance without guilt, drawing from the fall of Lucifer in Ezekiel 28. He explains how Satan perverted God's gifts of beauty, wealth, and power, and how believers often react by either pursuing worldly excess or living in legalistic poverty. Pastor Jack calls the church to reject Satan's tactics, embrace God's generous provision, and become a people of worship who allow abundance to flow through them for His glory.
How to Handle Fear of Violence

How to Handle Fear of Violence

Pastor Jack addresses the growing fear of violence gripping his city in December 1977, prompted by specific incidents affecting members of his own family and congregation. Drawing from Psalm 91, he teaches practical steps for handling fear: confronting it honestly before God, identifying its demonic source, specifying the exact fear, and standing on God's promises. He illustrates these principles through a tender account of reading Psalm 91 with his nine-year-old daughter who was afraid at bedtime, showing how Scripture and worship displace fear with faith.
The Breastplate of Righteousness

The Breastplate of Righteousness

Pastor Jack teaches from Ephesians 6 on the breastplate of righteousness as part of the believer's spiritual armor. He explains that righteousness is not about our own performance or good deeds, but rather Christ's righteousness attributed to us through faith. Drawing on the imagery of Roman armor, Pastor Jack shows how worship and understanding God's love form the foundation for effective spiritual warfare, enabling believers to stand confidently against the enemy's accusations and bring God's rightness into wrong situations through prayer.
Victory Through Singing

Victory Through Singing

Pastor Jack draws from the Song of Moses in Exodus 15 to teach about singing as the pathway to victory and deliverance. Connecting the historical deliverance through the Red Sea to the believer's baptism and triumph over the enemy through Christ's resurrection, he emphasizes that praise and worship break spiritual opposition and release God's power. The congregation learns and practices a new song based on the Song of Moses, celebrating that Jesus conquered through the cross and believers walk in present victory.
