Allen Jackson Ministries

We’re here on an assignment: to see the Kingdom of God extended and the story of Jesus held in high esteem. While being a Christ-follower doesn’t remove us from the arena of spiritual conflict, the power of Almighty God resides within us, at work on our behalf. He will give us the ability to stand in the most improbable places so that people will look at us and say, “Only God could have made that happen.”

We will not succeed in accomplishing the purposes of God in this generation unless we live with a view of eternity and a heightened awareness of spiritual things. This is our time, Pastor Allen teaches, and we are to be God’s standard-bearers in every place He invites us, wielding the authority that is ours through the shed blood of Jesus.

It may not be fashionable to believe in the devil, but that doesn’t make him any less real. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson offers biblical evidence that shows Satan and demonic forces exist and are influencing our lives today. Jesus believed in the devil, so we should, too. We’re in a spiritual battle that’s escalating, and we need to know who and what we are fighting against, and the weapons available to us. Pastor Allen offers insight on demons and unclean spirits, the reality of Satan’s kingdom and its impact on our lives, and the importance of diligently guarding our hearts and minds.

We either stand with God or with evil—a middle ground does not exist. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson encourages us to choose to follow God, even when that comes with adversity. We live in a culture that relentlessly tempts us to sell ourselves for lesser things—money, power, acceptance, accolades. But God is looking for men and women who will stand with Him and His truth. This stance may put us at odds with the world around us, but it also comes with God’s peace and provision. Standing with God builds our trust in Him—and as He sees us consistently choosing to be faithful to Him, it builds His trust in us.

Church is not primarily about education and information—it’s about mobilizing Christians to impact our world for God’s purposes. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the Church’s assignment as we approach the End of the Age. Christ-followers should be advancing against the adversaries of our Lord, not surrendering to the darkness—and that takes courage and intention. Instead of focusing on the demonic forces that oppose us, Pastor Allen encourages us to turn our attention to the triumphs God has brought into our lives, and how He is able to use adversity to write a new and victorious story.

Conflict will increase as the End of the Age draws near, and we need a plan to help us stand firm in our faith. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson helps us recognize the reality of the battle taking place in the spiritual realm. Even though every Christ-follower is engaged in this conflict, we can experience God’s peace as we endure the turmoil. Pastor Allen offers insight to help us be aware of the spiritual realm, understand how it impacts our current circumstances, recognize deception and false prophets, and be encouraged to stand for God’s Truth in our generation.

It’s possible to experience peace in the midst of conflict and turmoil. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses spiritual warfare and how God’s peace is different than the absence of conflict. The Bible is full of valiant warriors who fought for God and His Truth, including David, who was willing to do whatever God asked him to do. God is looking for similar people to lead for Him in our generation. He is the Lord of the armies, and He is mustering forces on our behalf—we will need their help to lead triumphant lives. Pastor Allen also offers biblical insight on man’s rebellion against God and how that relates to creation and the Bible.

Does our faith belong in the public square? Should churches discuss current events? During this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson addresses these questions and encourages us to take God’s truth into our culture, no matter the consequence. Truth is not always celebrated and well received, and the Bible offers many examples of people meeting challenging circumstances after delivering a word from God. We should not be surprised when this happens to us—our goal is to please God, not people. We have a responsibility to bear the truth, share our God-stories, and intercede for others. Pastor Allen offers insight on what intercession is, and why it's critical to the forward momentum of our faith and the growth of God’s Kingdom.

God consistently recruits unlikely characters to accomplish His purposes—and that should give us tremendous hope! In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses Peter, his role in the early Church, and the instructions and warnings he offers us in his second letter. Peter and the other disciples were not perfect men when they were recruited by Jesus, but the Holy Spirit transformed their hearts, making them bold and uncompromising in their faith, despite cultural pressures. Studying their lives gives us insight that can help us navigate the deceptive time we’re living in and encouragement to stay true to God’s Word—even when it goes against popular opinion.

The most binding word in all of Scripture for an agreement is “covenant.” When Jesus established a new covenant between God and man through the shedding of His blood, He changed the potential for every aspect of our lives—emotionally, physically, spiritually, and materially. Pastor Allen Jackson reminds us that God continues to make all things new.

Planet earth is not going to continue on as is, uninterrupted, forever. There’s a new beginning ahead of us, and it will be preceded by a conclusion, when Jesus returns. Until that day, we don’t have to live in fear of the passing away of this world’s system. If you’ve trusted Jesus of Nazareth as Lord of your life, something far better is ahead for you!

We don’t live in the Promised Land, but we lead lives that are filled with the promises of God. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses this amazing reality and other “coaching tips” from the Apostle Peter. He lived a dynamic and faith-filled life, despite adversity and persecution—and we are being called to be a courageous Church today. Peter tells us to make every effort to increase our faith and to keep our eyes focused on eternity, and his letters offer many practical things we can do to build God’s Kingdom—and our faith—in this challenging season.

Once upon a time, missionaries and chaplains were celebrated in the media, and our military was encouraged to embrace the Christian faith. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson offers stories that illustrate this truth and how people and organizations oriented toward God created a different culture than what we’re experiencing now. Pursuing godliness, righteousness, and holiness will help transform our culture, bringing blessings to our lives and offering a beacon of hope to the people around us. Pastor Allen offers encouragement from 1 and 2 Peter, which Peter wrote later in his life, when he was seasoned in following the Lord through adversity. There is much we can learn from Peter’s attitude and perspective as we persevere through today’s challenges.

God didn’t create the world and step out of the story. The Bible is filled with times when God engaged in the lives of humans and impacted outcomes on their behalf, and His creativity is still at work for us today. Until the end of the age when God steps into human history and makes all things new, we have a message for the world: There is a God. He cares about you. He has a plan for your life.

As persecution and adversity increased, the Apostle Peter courageously stood firm and led others through the opposition. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses Peter and his influence on the early Church and the foundations of our faith. As he walks through the latter chapters of the book of Acts, Pastor Allen offers insight on the stoning of Steven, Peter’s vision that led to Gentiles being welcomed into the church, the exemplary judgment of Ananias and Sapphira, Peter’s imprisonment and the angels that miraculously rescued him, and more. Each story presents a powerful principle or truth that can help us grow in our faith today.

The Holy Spirit transformed Peter from a fisherman into a leader of the early Christian church, and that same power is available to us, too. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the Apostle Peter and the stories that unfold in the beginning of the book of Acts. After the Holy Spirit descended upon the disciples in Acts 2, Peter became bold and able to speak God’s Word with authority and power—even though he had no formal theological training. Watching how Peter spoke truth into a culture that was increasingly intolerant of Christians offers many lessons that can help us navigate our world today.

The Church is not a perfect place. We do not come to church to observe righteousness on display. We come to church because we believe God is restoring ungodly people, and we are in need of restoration. “We all are guilty, but God has justified us,” Pastor Allen Jackson teaches. “I want everyone to know what it means to be free. I don’t want anyone to live beneath the crushing weight of guilt and shame and condemnation. There is hope!”

Though no one knows the time or hour of Jesus’ return, the Bible tells us opposition to God and His people will continue to grow, and we need to be prepared. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses our current circumstances and what we can expect as we approach the End of the Age: an increase in evil and delusion; Israel and the Jewish people becoming a central focus point of the world; Antichrist rising into power; and the arrival of our Conquering King! As the Church navigates what's ahead, our strength will come from standing firm in the authority we have through our Lord and King.

God’s judgment on our nation has begun—what do we do? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses our current situation and draws parallels to nations that faced God’s judgment in Scripture. The response of God’s people either escalated His judgment, delayed His judgment, or stopped His judgment altogether. Spiritual battles require a spiritual response, and the Church has an important role to play in our generation. Our choices, our reactions, our conversations, and our hearts will influence the extent of God’s judgment on our nation and our future.

Is Jesus returning soon, and if He is, how do we know what to expect? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson addresses these questions and discusses events that will take place before, during, and after Jesus’ return. In the Bible, God revealed many things we can expect to see in the season leading up to the End of the Age, but there are also mysteries He has chosen to keep hidden. Pastor Allen offers insight on the Antichrist, the resurrection of the dead, the Rapture, God’s judgment, Jesus’ return, God’s timing, and when all of this will take place (In Matthew 24:36, Jesus tells us no one knows the day and hour except God Himself).

To flourish in the time ahead, we need to understand God’s promises in a personal way. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses how following Jesus brings God’s blessings into our lives—if we choose to believe and not doubt. We can call on God’s Spirit to help us. We can experience God’s peace in any circumstance. We can ask God for His supernatural wisdom. He will provide for all our needs. He promises all of this to us—and more—when we choose to follow Him with our whole hearts.
