Israel, the Church, and the nations represent three distinct ways of understanding the population of planet Earth, and the purposes of God. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses all three, and how we can learn more about what God is doing by observing and understanding them through a biblical perspective. Just as God gave the Jewish people the Scriptures, He has assigned us, the Church, to bring the message of Jesus’ hope and peace to the world today.

Why is it important to pray for Jerusalem and the peace of Israel? Pastor Allen Jackson explains the unique roles that Israel, the Church, and the nations play in establishing God’s Kingdom on the Earth. God created an everlasting covenant with the Jewish people, promising blessings to those who support Israel, and curses to those who come against it. Pastor Allen uses scripture to explain why it’s in our best interest to intentionally love, pray, and care for Israel, Jerusalem, and the Jewish people—and offers tools to help us get started.

If someone tells you to be strong and courageous, that means there’s probably something frightening, intimidating, and discouraging ahead of you. Being “strong and courageous” was God’s message to Joshua, and Pastor Allen Jackson shows the importance of being “strong and courageous” in our faith, today. For our biblical perspective to flourish, we need to learn to be assertive with our faith, understand who we are and what we believe, and have the courage to talk about it with the people around us.

Our world desperately needs Christian leadership. It’s not about your title or position. It’s about using your influence, wherever you are, to advocate for Jesus and your Christian worldview. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the importance of leadership and how we can strengthen ourselves to stand in the midst of adversity, lawlessness, and other challenges. As we daily submit ourselves to God’s Spirit and follow Him, we’ll gain supernatural insight and strength to lead others to do the same, changing our world.

What does it mean to “fear the Lord,” and why does it matter? Pastor Allen Jackson explains this often-misunderstood concept, and how it impacts our faith. He discusses irrational fears we need to overcome versus healthy fears that should be cultivated, and how both play into our relationship with God. There is a tension between God’s mercy, grace, and justice, and as we grow into this realization, it motivates us to draw closer to God so we can stand firmly in our faith.

When Joshua told the Israelites, “Choose for yourself this day whom you will serve,” he was encouraging them to stop chasing the treasures of the world and to pursue the Lord. Pastor Allen Jackson inspires us to do the same in our generation. He discusses the biblical principles that formed the foundation of our nation, and he calls us to stand up for God in the same way our forefathers did. Pastor Allen discusses the power of repentance and offers steps to help us open our hearts to God’s Spirit in a new way.

Every generation has to choose whether they will serve themselves or the Lord. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson shows how a Judeo-Christian worldview established our nation and encourages us to guard our godly principles in the same way our forefathers did. Critical times require extraordinary effort, and we will need all of the spiritual weapons offered to us to persevere. Pastor Allen discusses seven weapons and the unique power each gives us: the Name of Jesus, the Blood of Jesus, the Word of God, confession, thankfulness, praise, and our testimonies.

Fear is a common response during seasons of great change. What if we begin recognizing fear as an opportunity to grow and trust God in a new way? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses how some fears are warranted—they keep us safe. But unbridled anxiety and worry can hinder us, taking our attention off God, and the work He has for us to do. Pastor Allen offers ways to recognize and address fear, so we can overcome its influence and learn to stand in new ways.

Do you imagine you’re ready for the Lord’s return? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses what it means to be prepared and watching for Jesus. As we turn our attention to what the Bible says, it’s easier to recognize preconceived ideas we may hold that don’t align with God’s Truth. Pastor Allen also emphasizes the importance of humility as we pursue God and give ourselves fully to what He would have us do each day. The choices we make today will make a difference in eternity.

When the Lord returns, the heavens will disappear, the elements will be destroyed, and the Earth will be laid bare. The Bible makes it clear that it’s not a get-out-of-jail-free card for believers—He doesn’t want anyone left behind, and there is work to be done. Pastor Allen Jackson discusses several realities that come with living in the final days. He equips us to make choices that will help us stand firm in our faith and help others to do the same. God strengthens us as we repent, choose to pursue holiness and godliness, and recognize and celebrate all He is doing around us and for us.

When it feels like you are out of options, it can be easy to despair. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses many stories in the Bible where God rescues people out of desperate places, and He promises to do the same for us, as we seek Him. Pastor Allen offers hopeful encouragement from several psalms and provides specific ways we can be strengthen our relationship with God and bring intentionality to our prayer life.

God has a unique assignment for each generation. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson provides a quick overview of the Bible, showing the different challenges God led His people through and the people He used to carry out His plans. In a similar way, we are called to bring God’s light and truth to our generation, and we need to listen to God and obey as He leads.

Spiritual forces are real, and we need courage to stand up against evil. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the reality of the spiritual world surrounding us, and its direct impact on our lives. As we learn to recognize and follow the Spirit of God instead of evil influences, we will mature as Christ-followers and gain a better understanding of the root of the conflicts in our world. Since our words carry spiritual authority, Pastor Allen provides two powerful proclamations we can speak over our lives: one that declares the reality of God’s protection over us, and another that offers hope and encouragement.

The spiritual battle we face is similar to terrorism. Pastor Allen Jackson discusses how terrorists don’t wear uniforms, nor do they identify themselves based on a nationality. Instead, their allegiance is to an ideology. Similarly, the spiritual forces surrounding us either align themselves with Jesus, or against Him. Pastor Allen also discusses the reality of demons, how they seek to influence our thoughts, emotions, and physical bodies, and what we can do to stand against them.

Christ followers often dismiss or underestimate the magnitude of spiritual forces, and how they influence history. Pastor Allen Jackson offers a several examples from the Bible that show the spiritual realm directly impacting the physical world, and how it continues to happen around us today. As we actively draw close to God and His Spirit, we can influence our world for His purposes. Pastor Allen discusses three spiritual practices that can remove barriers between us and the Holy Spirit, delivering us, and those around us, into Christ’s freedom: repenting, releasing, and renouncing.

Do demons and the devil exist?

Pastor Allen presents three beliefs that can help us navigate the spiritual world: Believe the spiritual world is real; that it impacts your life; and that our spiritual influence can make a difference.

Angels are a part of our lives more than we realize, and Jesus told us they would play a central role at the end of the age. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson examines the appearance of angels in the book of Revelation, and the messages they delivered to the Church. When we take our place and work to strengthen the Church, adding momentum to what God is doing, we join the angels. By raising our awareness of spiritual things, and how our words and actions influence those spiritual forces in our lives, we become more effective advocates for His Kingdom.

There would be no “Jesus story” without the help of angels. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the role angels played in Jesus’s life, and how they interact with ours. Angels are messengers from God. They are mighty in strength, they perform God’s word, and they bring strength and renewal to our lives. Pastor Allen shows us that angels are as real as a virus we can’t see, and just like Jesus, we will need their help to complete our God assignments.

If you consider yourself to be a person of faith, you need to be aware of the spiritual influences that surround you and impact your life. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses angels and demons; the Bible makes it clear that they exist and they influence our lives. Pastor Allen shows how this is good news for those who follow the Lord, since the angels are ministering spirits who are sent to protect, inform, guard, guide, and help us along our journeys.

How do we live securely in an increasingly insecure world? When we place our security in the Lord, we will find the firm foundation we need, and it will keep us from living in fear and anxiety.

Pastor Allen provides recent examples of God’s movement, then uses Scripture to remind us of God’s ultimate authority; His ability; His presence; His faithfulness; and His love.

As God’s people own our place, tell the truth, and stand for what’s right, we find ourselves on the front line of a spiritual battle. How do we persevere? Where do we find new strength?

As we diligently seek the Lord, He gives us wisdom and insight beyond our own, equipping us for whatever challenges we face.

We are not defeated. The Judge of all the Earth will ultimately determine human history, and He will direct our paths as we listen and respond to Him. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson shows the hope offered by God’s judgement. He encourages us to purify our hearts and eliminate distractions that keep us from following God fully, including failure, inconsistency, discontentment, disappointments, and frustration with God’s timing. As we root out these distractions from our lives, we’ll discover deeper contentment and a more Spirit-filled faith.
