The Way to Give Wisely

The Way to Give Wisely

Pastor Jack draws from the visit of the wise men to the Christ child to teach about presenting meaningful spiritual gifts to Jesus at Christmas. He explores how gold represents giving our best in service and finances, frankincense represents worship offered in spirit and truth, and myrrh symbolizes reckoning ourselves dead to sin and alive to God through identification with Christ's death and resurrection. Pastor Jack calls the congregation to intercede for nations, as several members share how God has assigned them specific countries to pray for in spiritual warfare.
Unwrapping Christmas

Unwrapping Christmas

Pastor Jack delivers a heartfelt message about reclaiming the joy of Christmas and breaking free from cynicism, disappointment, and past hurts that can dampen the season. Drawing from the angel's announcement to the shepherds in Luke 2, he encourages the congregation to unwrap Christmas?removing the "grave clothes" of painful memories and embracing the good tidings of great joy God intends. Pastor Jack also teaches on communion, connecting its elements to the incarnation, Christ's sinless life, crucifixion, and resurrection, and inviting believers to receive Christ's nourishing life with thanksgiving and joy.
What Your World Needs Now

What Your World Needs Now

Pastor Jack draws from a powerful personal testimony of a vision God gave him during a prayer drive with his wife Anna. He shares how the Lord revealed to him that each spouse has been given a "world" to subdue?not to dominate, but to cultivate and bring to fruitfulness. Using Genesis 1:26-28 as his foundation, Pastor Jack teaches that marriage is designed to mirror God's creative purposes, and that cultivating our spouse requires love, song, and spiritual sensitivity rather than criticism or trying to remake them in our own image.
Responding to the Ephesian Letter

Responding to the Ephesian Letter

Pastor Jack teaches from Revelation's letter to the church at Ephesus, focusing on three key themes: maintaining first love for Jesus, bearing up faithfully in works and labor, and rejecting Nicolaitanism?anything that lets others be spiritual in our place. He applies these principles practically by leading the congregation in worship, receiving a special offering for a growing church in earthquake-devastated San Francisco, Guatemala, and emphasizing personal ministry development.
Jesus – The Lover Who Hates

Jesus – The Lover Who Hates

Pastor Jack teaches from Revelation 2 on the letter to the church at Ephesus, examining Jesus' commendation of their tenacity and truth-testing while calling them to return to their first love. He explores the meaning of Nicolaitanism?a hierarchical system Jesus hates?and challenges believers to reject spiritual passivity and embrace simplicity in worship and ministry in the body of Christ.
