The Word and the World by Pastor Jack King on Saturday, Feb. 28, 2026

In "The Word and the World," Pastor Jack King dives deep into John 17 to unpack the "High Priestly Prayer" of Jesus. He addresses the common phrase "in the world but not of it," revealing that while it may not be a literal verse, it is a literal reality for every disciple. This teaching breaks down the "world" not just as a planet, but as an economic and spiritual system designed to enslave the soul through greed, lust, and the pride of life. -- Pastor Jack explores the fascinating missing definition of "world" and creates a biblical framework for understanding our environment. -- The message highlights the historical and spiritual warfare against the Bible, from the days of Martin Luther to the modern dilution of the Gospel. -- Insights are shared on how Jesus utilized the Word as a specific weapon to defeat Satan during His 40 days in the wilderness. -- A sobering look at the "World System" as an economic trap, drawing parallels to the book of Revelation and the system of the Antichrist. -- Encouragement is found in the power of the Word to change lives, citing the miraculous transformations of Mary Magdalene and the man known as Legion. -- The teaching concludes with a call to trust in God's provision—the one who owns the cattle on a thousand hills—rather than being enslaved by a heartless world.
