- Go Biggerby The River on January 16, 2025 at 3:00 am
In today's message, Pastor Jack shared an inspiring word encouraging us to "go bigger" in our faith and every area of life. He reminded us of God's promise in Ephesians 3:20, that He can do exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or think, according to the power working within us. Pastor Jack emphasized the importance of activating our faith through action, not just hearing or knowing the Word, but living it out boldly. He illustrated this with powerful examples from Scripture, including the woman with the issue of blood and the prophet's persistence in bringing the child back to life, showing that breakthroughs come when we refuse to stop short of God's best. Pastor Jack challenged us to dream bigger, believe for more, and trust God to resurrect what seems dead in our lives, encouraging us to step out in faith, open our mouths wide, and let God fill them with blessings and purpose.

Pastor Jack emphasized the distinction between joy, which comes from faith in Christ, and fleeting happiness tied to circumstances. He encouraged us to nurture joy through praise, faith, and gratitude, pointing out that joy strengthens us for the journey and invites God's presence into our lives. Whether we face trials in relationships, dreams, or daily struggles, Pastor Jack called us to put on the "garment of praise," believe in God's promises, and celebrate His goodness in every season.

He reminded us that God desires for us to be free from ongoing issues, such as financial difficulties, health problems, or emotional battles, by living a life rooted in continuous faith. Pastor Jack emphasized the power of believing in God’s promises and rejecting fear, envy, and legalism that can rob us of our blessings. Using examples from Scripture, he highlighted that faith is not about our works but about trusting in what Jesus has already accomplished for us. Pastor Jack challenged us to claim lasting deliverance, trust God for abundance, and believe that He wants us to thrive and walk in freedom.
