In today's message, Pastor Jack reminds us that when we give our lives to Christ, we receive more than enough faith to overcome any challenge. He emphasizes that this God-given faith is powerful enough for miracles, healing, and breakthroughs, but it can shrink if we allow doubt, fear, or offense to take root. Using scriptures from Ephesians, Matthew, and II Corinthians, Pastor Jack teaches us to cast down negative thoughts quickly and not let them imprison us. He encourages us to speak life, walk in love, and avoid wasting time on offense or worry, as these hinder our faith. By staying courageous, trusting God's provision, and keeping our focus on His Word, we can experience the fullness of joy and victory in every area of our lives. Pastor Jack closes by urging us to live worry-free, knowing God has already prepared solutions for every problem we face.Tune in now!Join us for service every Sunday at 9 and 11am (PST) and Wednesday at 7pm (PST)If you received Christ through this message, text JESUS to (253) 859-0832We would love to hear how God is touching your life through this ministry!

In today's message, Pastor Jack emphasizes the importance of maintaining a good conscience to stay sensitive to the Holy Spirit's guidance. He explains that faith operates from the heart, and when we ignore our conscience, it becomes dull, hindering our ability to hear from God. Using Scripture, he highlights how a seared conscience leads to spiritual deafness and deception, urging us to walk in the light of God's Word and repent when we fall short. Pastor Jack reminds us that Jesus' sacrifice cleanses us completely, allowing us to approach God boldly for grace and mercy. He encourages us to guard our hearts, stay aligned with God's truth, and reject cultural lies, ensuring we remain responsive to the Spirit's leading in every area of our lives.

In today's message, Pastor Jack emphasizes the importance of maintaining fellowship with God by walking in love, forgiveness, and obedience. He highlights how bitterness and unforgiveness can break this fellowship, hindering God's blessings in our lives. Using scripture like Ephesians 4:31-32 and the story of Joseph, he illustrates how holding grudges disrupts our relationship with God and others. Pastor Jack reminds us that while we are forgiven through Christ, we must continually align our lives with God's truth to experience His redemptive power. He encourages us to confess our sins, trust in God's grace, and approach Him boldly, not based on our perfection but on Jesus' sacrifice. Ultimately, fellowship with God is about intimacy—desiring to be with Him, just as we cherish relationships with loved ones. Let's strive to walk in the light, free from broken fellowship, so we can fully embrace the life God has for us.Tune in now!Join us for service every Sunday at 9 and 11am (PST) and Wednesday at 7pm (PST)If you received Christ through this message, text JESUS to (253) 859-0832We would love to hear how God is touching your life through this ministry!

This is message 41 in the Isaiah series. Isaiah 43:1-28 God reminds His people that they belong to Him-- not by merit but by His choosing, His power, and His grace. He had called them by name, redeemed them through mighty acts, and formed them for His glory. Yet even after all HIs faithfulness, they had grown cold, offering worship without heart and turning from the relationship they were meant to cherish. Still, God speaks with tenderness, promising protection, restoration, and renewal. He invites them once again to return, not with empty sacrifices, but with sincerity- to know Him as their Redeemer, their King, and their Holy One.

Using biblical examples like the centurion's faith and the prodigal son, he highlights that God's promises are ours to claim, but we must take responsibility for our faith, discipline, and self-control to see them manifest.

This is message 35 in the Isaiah series. Isaiah 36:1-37:38 Jehovah Sabaoth, the Lord of Hosts, stands as the defender of His people when they trust fully in Him. When the enemy mocks God's name and threatens His people with overwhelming strength, He does not remain silent. Hezekiah laid the blasphemous threats before the Lord, not in panic, but in faith, and the Lord answered with power. Without a sword drawn by Judah, the armies of Assyria fell in a single night. God proved Himself to be the living God, unlike the powerless idols of the nations. The Lord of Hosts alone rules over every army in heaven and on earth, and none can stand against Him.

This is message 8 in The Power of God's Name John 14:13-16, 15:16, 16:23-26 To ask in Jesus' name, as taught in John 14-16, is not a formula for getting what one wants, but a call to pray in alignment with Christ's will and authority. Jesus prepared His disciples to approach the Father with confidence, assuring them that their prayers would be heard and answered when offered in His name. Asking in Jesus' name means seeking God's glory, bearing spiritual fruit, and experiencing the joy of a relationship with the Father. It is both a sacred privilege and a serious responsibility, granted to those who belong to Christ and are committed to His purposes.

This is message 28 in the Isaiah series. Isaiah 28:1-29 God's people had grown weary of clear, simple preaching. They mocked Isaiah for repeating God's Word line upon line, but their rejection of plain truth would bring devastating judgment. God would scatter them among foreign nations where they could no longer hear or understand His voice. Yet through it all, God remained faithful—plowing, planting, and threshing with purpose—calling His people back to truth, if only they would humble themselves and listen.

This is message 7 in Gathered in His Name. Matthew 18:15-20 When Jesus said, "Where two or three are gathered together in my name," He was not speaking of a general prayer meeting, but of the church acting under His authority in matters of discipline. Gathered in His name means carrying out His will with the weight of His presence and power behind us. Both Matthew 18 and 1 Corinthians 5 teach that the church is entrusted with Christ's authority to make binding decisions in judgment, always seeking repentance, restoration, and the purity of the body. This is a solemn responsibility that demands prayer, submission, and reverence, knowing Christ Himself stands behind the church when it acts according to His Word.

Yet, in God's purpose, Tyre's wealth was ultimately turned to His glory, and its legacy continued into the New Testament as the gospel reached its people.
