Allen Jackson Ministries

God has a persistent, unrelenting interest in the well-being of humanity. While He loves all people, those people who want to have a relationship with Him are at the center of His purposes in the earth. Pastor Allen Jackson asks, “Are we willing to be God’s people, first and foremost?” This is not a one-time decision, but a decision that requires constant attention over every season of life. Are we willing to live with a different morality, a different world view, a different set of boundaries, in order to display God’s grace and power in our lives?

Everything we need for life and godliness has been provided for us through God’s promises. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson encourages us to focus on following God, trusting in His promises and His provision as we work to extend His Kingdom. Our stability doesn’t come from appeasing our culture—it comes from yielding our lives to God, His Truth, His plans, and His purposes for our lives. Pastor Allen also talks about how to address thoughts and behaviors that torment us, so we can experience God’s peace in any situation.

God watches over His people, and He will carry us through whatever is ahead. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses God’s provision. The same God who led the Israelites through the desert to the Promised Land will guide and protect us today—if we are faithful to follow Him. Pastor Allen discusses the laws in Deuteronomy and how they apply to our lives as Christ-followers. We should expect both opposition and great reward as we bring our biblical worldview into today’s culture and build God's Kingdom. Pastor Allen also addresses the question, “How do I know that God forgives me?” and offers insight to help us find freedom from the sins, habits, and behaviors that hold us away from God’s best for our lives.

Our assignment doesn’t change, even if God’s judgment unfolds across our nation. If we will pursue His purposes, God will help us and provide for us. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses redemption and judgment—what happened after Jesus pronounced judgment on Jerusalem and how those events parallel what we’re experiencing in America today. Being a Christ-follower comes with a responsibility to carry the gospel into our world—especially to the people around us. Are we willing to accept the assignment, stand up for God and our biblical worldview, and become a part of the harvest—or will we choose to stay in the world?

In times of uncertainty or stress, being firmly grounded in the fundamentals makes a difference. Pastor Allen Jackson reminds us of three things that will bring stability to our lives in every season: understanding the significance of the cross of Jesus Christ; believing that God’s truth is real, unchanging, and essential for a healthy life; and being a person of praise.

We can learn a lot about our current circumstances by observing what’s happening in Jerusalem and the area surrounding it. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the importance of Israel, the spiritual conflict surrounding the Holy Land, and how the promises God made to the Jewish people apply to Christ-followers today. He offers encouraging explanations about the promises of God, the blessings of God, and the judgment of God—we need all three components to understand God’s character, His sovereignty, His love for us, and our role in His Kingdom.

How does Israel impact your life and mine? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson offers perspective on the miracle of Israel’s existence—a prophecy in Scripture that took nearly 2,000 years to come to pass. God is faithful to His Word, and our knowledge and familiarity with it will help us understand God, Israel, our culture, and our world. As we submit to the authority of God’s Word, it will change our hearts. Pastor Allen discusses the many benefits and promises that come from reading Scripture, following its instructions, and refreshing our minds daily with its truth.

The heritage of our nation is rich with the ideals and beliefs of the Christian faith; yet we tarnish and forget the very scriptures that are carved in revered buildings within our own communities. Pastor Allen Jackson dives into a great discussion of United States’ history as a nation and invites us to see the foundation of our society—that we should not be afraid to look back in our history for its short comings, but to lean into the idea that a Judeo-Christian worldview constructed this great nation and will deliver us out of a time of great uncertainty.

We are living in the midst of a dividing line in history and we must respond. Our response does not need to be a self-generated idea, but the perspective given to us by Jesus of Nazareth. Pastor Allen Jackson invites us to a prayer of repentance for both ourselves and the heart of our nation. In order to see great change within our communities, we must first recognize the change we need within our own hearts.

We are a nation founded around an idea, that we would be one nation under God. And the idea was centered in a biblical worldview: the authority of Scripture, the uniqueness of Jesus, a desire to worship God. One of the responsibilities of every generation of American Christians is to defend, teach, and communicate that God loves us and has a purpose for our lives, even when sharing a God-perspective seems inconvenient or uncomfortable.

Strong, godly men and fathers are not toxic—they are necessary for our families to thrive! In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the importance of fatherhood, addressing how to overcome the shortcomings of our earthly fathers and the many benefits that come from being God’s child. Fathers have an important assignment: to protect their children, prepare them for what’s ahead, and model what it looks like to follow the Lord. Pastor Allen contrasts the lives of Abraham and Lot to show how a father’s perspectives and values can impact future generations.

Life in 21st-century America is difficult, and we desperately need God’s prophetic perspective. In our own power, we as sinful humans don’t naturally gravitate toward justice, righteousness, honesty, and truth. We are a people in great need, but our God is All-Mighty and All-Sufficient. Only through the power of the cross can we be changed and live together in a way that enables all to flourish.

Understanding God’s perspective, so that we can honor Him and serve Him with our lives, is a significant part of what it means to be a Christ-follower. Pastor Allen encourages us to awaken from our slumber and arise to be the people of God, standing in the public square, giving glory and honor to Almighty God, and lifting up the name of Jesus without shame or embarrassment, for greater is He who’s for us than everything that’s arrayed against us.

We can see what repentance and holiness looks like by reading the book of Leviticus. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses Leviticus and offers specific ways it applies to our lives as Christ-followers. Moses gave the Hebrew people a lengthy list of practices they needed to do to be cleansed from sin. Then, God ushered in something new—we are reconciled to Him through our faith in Jesus. Would we be able to recognize God doing something new today, or would we hold on to tradition or what's comfortable? As we read Leviticus, we can imagine our High Priest—Jesus—taking our offerings directly to the Lord on our behalf.

Leviticus may seem like a book filled with irrelevant details, but it holds many important truths for Christ-followers. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson shows how the principles presented in Leviticus are reflected in the New Testament and can inform our faith today. As we consider the rules for sanctification, holiness, worship, offerings, sacrifices, and purity, we can learn foundational truths about the character of God, His perspective, and His expectations.

God is very aware of our weaknesses, yet He still created a plan for our redemption; it’s an amazing statement of grace. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson talks about the book of Leviticus and what the Hebrew people needed to do to please God. Being familiar with the Old Testament will help us understand the New Testament. When we give our lives to Jesus and offer ourselves as living sacrifices, we strengthen the Church, build His Kingdom, please Him, and invite His blessings.

We’re living in a season of tremendous turmoil, and many wonder if we’re approaching the End of the Age. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses how the events we’re witnessing may signal the End of the Age—or we could be experiencing the end of the American empire. He discusses our growing national debt and the increasing expressions of immorality in our culture. To move forward, our nation needs a heart change, and that begins in His Church—your heart and my heart. Pastor Allen talks about the problem of pride, helps us recognize what it looks like in our lives, and offers prayers to help us find freedom from it.

God has invited us into a discussion—are we willing to listen? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson offers examples of God speaking to people directly, through prayer, and through His Word. God continues to do the same thing today. If we want to hear from the Lord regularly, we need to become better listeners. As we learn to recognize His voice and choose to follow what He tells us to do, we will experience His blessings.

How does the Word of God apply to our lives today? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson walks through passages in Acts and Ephesians, discussing the early church in Ephesus and how it parallels today's Church. To be an effective Christ-follower, we need to intentionally grow in our faith so we can discover new freedom, power, and restoration through Jesus. If we ask, the Holy Spirit will reveal what's hindering our faith, including bitterness and unforgiveness. Pastor Allen offers practical steps we can take to nurture our growth, along with a series of powerful prayers that can help set us free.

You can invite God’s favor into someone’s life through the powerful practices of blessing and anointing. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson explains these two tools, which carry tremendous spiritual authority yet are often left unused. Anointing someone (or yourself) with oil is a way of setting them apart for God’s purposes and inviting the Holy Spirit’s help in their lives. It’s a practice we can implement in our relationships today, as we anoint and speak blessings over others and ourselves. We can also experience blessings from God Himself—health, vitality, prosperity, victory, and more—as we choose to obey and follow Him.

Strategy, Tactics & Your Unseen Adversary — The Rest of the Story

It’s possible to be living under a curse and not realize it. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the significance of blessings and curses, and how they come into our lives. When we choose to follow God and His commands, we invite His blessings; but if we decide to turn away and pursue ungodly behaviors, we open ourselves to curses. Understanding these spiritual truths can help us recognize God’s response to our behaviors. Pastor Allen offers steps we can take to invite God’s blessings into our lives and a strategy that can free us from curses.
