What does it mean to be spiritually blind? What causes it? How can we fix it? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the importance of seeing the world through God’s perspective. Most of us spend our time fully invested in the present world order and its priorities—but it will all pass away. When we intentionally turn our attention to Jesus and His purposes for our lives, we gain an eternal perspective, as well as wisdom and insight to help us navigate our current circumstances. It’s time to focus on eternity and lead with our faith!

We need God’s Truth to help us navigate this season of deception. God is ushering in something new, and Pastor Allen Jackson offers Scriptures that can help us understand what we’re living through, and what’s ahead. He discusses the importance of having the eyes of a prophet—developing the ability to see the world through God’s perspective. When we become Christians, we are entirely new creations, with a new heart, a new name, and a new purpose. As we mature spiritually, we are responsible for leading with our faith, sharing God’s Truth, and impacting our culture—just as the prophets did.

Can we trust God? Do we really think He will keep His Word? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the importance of remembering history—our nation’s and our own. As we begin to review our stories, in case after case, we see the fingerprints of God's faithfulness all over our lives. Remembering what God has done gives us strength and courage to continue to trust Him with our struggles today. God is our Provider, our Healer, our Banner, and our Deliverer, and taking our thoughts and emotions captive to His Truth leads us to His peace.

From Genesis 12 through the book of Revelation, we find the story of God developing a people for Himself. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the people of God, who they are, and how and why we want to be counted amongst them. In Genesis 17:7, God established His covenant with Abraham, telling him, "I will always be your God and the God of your descendants after you." That covenant applies to the Jewish people—and its promises extend to us, through our faith in Jesus.

God chose to make us a part of His Kingdom, but we also have a choice to make—follow Him, or decide to go our own way. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the people of God—a group God created and set apart for Himself. We become a part of God’s people through our faith in Jesus, and we have unique assignments in His Kingdom. Choosing to pursue godliness, holiness, and obedience will help prepare us for those roles—and our diligence will strengthen the entire Body of Christ.

How do we move our faith from being theoretical—like something learned in a classroom—to an active part of our daily lives? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the difference between accumulating knowledge about the Bible and walking by faith, intending to honor and abide in the Lord in all we do. Salvation is free and available to every person who declares Jesus is Lord. But once you have received that free gift, it takes time and effort to grow your faith so you can experience God’s best for your life.

Nobody makes it through life without the struggle of rejection. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson addresses the spiritual impact rejection has on our lives, and the behaviors people tend to respond with, including anger, aggression, bitterness, and stubbornness. Ignoring rejection is not sufficient—we need a plan for overcoming it, so it does not diminish our lives. Through the cross, we can be free from the sting of rejection and the wounds it creates, and Pastor Allen offers steps we can take to embrace that freedom.

Guilt can help protect us, serving as a warning sign from the Spirit of God—but it can also be a tremendously destructive force in our lives. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson explains the difference between good and bad guilt, and the feelings of shame and rejection that often accompany it. He helps us recognize the impact those feelings have on our lives, the spiritual roots behind them, and the actions we can take to be free from them.

Spiritual forces impact our lives all of the time, and in this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses how to align ourselves with the purposes of God. When Jesus rose from the dead, He fully and completely conquered evil—but Satan will continue to rule on the earth until Jesus returns. That's where we engage in the conflict—by serving as ambassadors on assignment for the Kingdom of God. To be effective, we need to be able to recognize and engage with the Holy Spirit and grow our faith and trust in God in new ways. Pastor Allen offers insight on how to begin.

Do you imagine God would ask you to take a stand against the devil’s schemes? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the war in Heaven and on Earth. We see evidence of this battle in our physical world through turmoil, chaos, and deception—but the underlying cause of all of it is spiritual, and the Church has a key role to play. As a part of the discussion, Pastor Allen talks about the dangers of pride and the destruction it brings, and the importance of aligning our thoughts with God’s.

What does it mean to be a person of belief in a season when skepticism is more popular? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the middle ground of being “almost persuaded” to believe in Jesus. He presents a series of statements, such as “I am persuaded; Jesus of Nazareth is the Way, the Truth, and the Life,” and discusses why each proclamation is true. Belief is not static but is something that is constantly growing or diminishing. Pastor Allen invites us to personally reflect on each statement as a way to strengthen our convictions so we can serve the Lord with an undivided heart.

Hebrews 6 tells us the laying on of hands is foundational to our faith, but we don’t spend much time thinking about it or practicing it. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the laying on of hands, offers examples of it in Scripture, and explains why we do it. The laying on of hands is a way to transmit blessings, spiritual authority, wisdom, the Holy Spirit, healing, a spiritual gift, or a ministry. It’s also a biblical way to commission a person for service in the body of Christ. Our words carry spiritual authority, and when we bless someone with our words and laying on our hands, we invite God’s supernatural power into their lives and their assignments.

One day we will appear before the judgment seat of Christ—that’s not a threat, but a promise that can bring great hope to Christ-followers. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson makes us aware of different points of judgment that await us and encourages us to live our lives in such a way that judgment will be in our favor. He offers Scripture to show how our faithfulness to Jesus in this life will determine our opportunities in eternity. How intentionally do you use the gifts God gave you? Do you eagerly pursue Him and His purposes, or are you often swept into worldly pursuits? We want to make choices that lead to God rewarding us for the way we served Him with our time, talents, resources, and efforts.

Judgment is not always a bad thing—it can be in your favor! In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the fact that God will judge each of us one day, and truly acknowledging this can change the way we live our lives. We are saved when we accept Jesus as Lord of our lives, but maturing as Christ-followers requires intentionality and effort. Pursuing godliness, holiness, purity, and righteousness unleashes something that will bear fruit for all eternity. The majority of our existence is going to be spent in eternity, and our opportunities there will be linked to what we've chosen to do in time—so honor the Lord in all your ways!

When we have courage to say “yes” to the Lord in the moment, we impact eternity. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the reality of resurrection and eternity, and how thinking about these topics can help us gain God’s perspective on our lives. Jesus was the first to be resurrected, and God will raise us from the dead, too. What does that look like? Will we know each other? Will we look the same way we do now? Pastor Allen offers Scriptures to help answer those questions and provide additional insight. He also spends time discussing Christian Nationalism, patriotism, and the importance of putting Jesus first in your life.

The New Testament describes baptisms in plural—there is more than one type of baptism. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses John’s baptism, Christian baptism, and Holy Spirit baptism. Each type of baptism serves a different purpose in our Christian lives. Jesus submitted Himself to be baptized by John, and He commanded His disciples to wait to be baptized in the Holy Spirit before they left Jerusalem. Baptism was important to Jesus, and it’s wise to learn why it should be important to us, too. If we choose to yield to the power of God and follow His commands, we help His Kingdom come and His will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

How often do we need to hear the Truth before we choose to follow it? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson encourages us to strengthen the foundations of our faith by hearing God’s Word and putting it into practice. Ultimately, the foundation of our lives and our faith is Jesus, and the more clearly we realize that, the more stable our lives become. A firm foundation will carry us through any challenge, and we need to be intentional in building and maintaining it.

You have to think about Jesus and what He did for you, or you’ll grow tired of standing and lose heart. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson offers insight from the lives of Josiah, Gideon, and Jesus’ disciples, showing how following God during a time of awakening can also come with harsh opposition. We can be strengthened for the challenges we face by studying their lives, their reactions to the Lord, and their willingness to follow God, even when it leads to adversity. When God moves, He may give us difficult assignments, and this sermon encourages us to boldly persevere.

We aren’t the first generation to wonder if we are approaching the End of the Age, and we don’t need to be afraid—there are good things ahead. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson offers two perspectives: either Jesus will return soon, or the Church is being awakened and prepared for our next assignment. In either case, we have a responsibility to be Jesus’ advocates on the earth, standing boldly for Him and His Truth. We cannot afford to have an escapist mentality. The Bible says we will not know the exact time or date of Jesus’ return, so our goal isn’t to try to predict the future, but to be fully engaged in doing His work, everywhere we go, no matter what.

We need God’s power to overcome our current circumstances and whatever our future holds. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses God’s ability and willingness to help us—but we must decide to draw close to Him, grow our faith, and practice the Truth that we know. The Greek word “sozo” means “to be saved.” Our salvation begins when we accept Jesus as Lord of our lives, and that is the starting point of our journey with Him. Pastor Allen offers examples of when the Bible uses “sozo” to describe how a person’s faith in Jesus led to their supernatural healing—that same power is available to help believers today.

"We are experiencing a powerful expression of God’s grace. How will we respond? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson shows how God is restoring ideas we used to embrace—the sanctity of life, and freedom to express our faith—and this type of movement is new to our generation. God is changing the hearts of the people in Israel, He is purifying His Church, and He is doing it in unexpected ways. When God moves, He may call us to stand for His Truth in difficult places. Pastor Allen helps us understand the importance of being Jesus’ advocates wherever He places us. "

We’re witnessing the beginning of a revival, an awakening, an outpouring of the Spirit of God. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses evidence of God’s movement, including the recent overturn of Roe v. Wade and observations from his recent trip to Israel. Chaos and deception will increase as we draw closer to Jesus’ return, and we want to choose to be all-in as Christ-followers, earnestly pursuing purity, holiness, and righteousness. Pastor Allen offers insight on what to expect in the coming days and encourages us to welcome God’s Spirit into our lives—we’ll need His help as we move forward.

Since Jesus is God’s son, He can help us understand our Heavenly Father better than anyone else. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses how accepting God as our Father impacts our daily faith. God created specific roles for men and fathers. Some men embrace those roles, strengthening their families, while others don’t, leaving their children wounded. Pastor Allen offers a prayer to help us forgive our fathers, so we can more fully experience God’s peace and freedom. He also leads a prayer for fathers who want to ask for God’s forgiveness in the areas where they fall short, acknowledging they need His help.
