A re-storied life is what happens after the Holy Spirit enters and redeems your past, gives you victory for today, and hope for tomorrow. As a result, your life tells a different story and you live a different story. So, how does that happen? In this series, Pastor Jack will explore ways God intersects your story, and how we live differently as a result.
Contrary to its rather bland reputation, kindness is one of the most powerful weapons we have. In this moving message, Pastor Jack explains why.
Here’s a powerful key to living a re-storied life: gentleness! Huh? What has gentleness ever produced? Well, Jesus used it to describe His own heart. And besides being one of the fruit of the Spirit, Proverbs says gentleness is powerful enough to turn away anger! Hmmm. Let’s get curious…
Wait for it…
Yeah, right! That’s not always so easy to do! And most of us can use a bit more practice (good thing we have so many opportunities!) But can the very act of patience be a blessing in and of itself? Can patience bring a unique kind of fulfillment? Well, the waiting is over. Time for Pastor Jack to explain!
Justice. It means different things to different people, and has been politicized this way and that. But what does the Bible say about justice? And what if we are not meant the Good Samaritan? Wait! What? Pastor Jack has a lot to explain in this one!
If you ever wanted to pray like David prayed — real, raw, vulnerable, full of doubt, yet full of faith — this message will help get you there! You will not see prayer and relationship with God in quite the same way at the end of this one! Prepare to be encouraged and emboldened. And if you have a panic attack in the middle, be comforted. So did David!
Oh, everyone is so excited about this one! (Not!) But what if it’s not about what you need to do to be better? What if it’s about what God does to help you? What if we take the pressure off of ourselves and put it on the Holy Spirit? Pastor Jack is here to explain.
Many sociologists agree that Americans are becoming more and more lonely. Our desire for independence and individualism comes with a cost: an epidemic of loneliness in our culture. And with fewer people attending church than before COVID, what are we to do? This week Pastor Jack looks what real community looks like, and how the church may need to look different in the future.
Truly, deeply loved by God. That can be a tough concept for many, especially for those dealing with guilt or shame. So how can we really break though into understand the depth of God’s love and compassion for us? That’s where understanding adoption comes in! This is an important message for those needing to understand God’s love, and those wanting to explain it to others.
While our enemy is defeated, he has not yet surrendered. He is still going about stealing, killing, and destroying. Some choose to ignore the warfare, thinking God’s got it all worked out with or without our involvement. Others live in a constant battle going from war to war rather than from glory to glory. So, where do we land on all of this? Pastor Jack explains!
