In the midst of the troubles facing our nation, God has provided a season for His people to respond. What will we do?

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.

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.

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.

When the Lord returns, the heavens will disappear, the elements will be destroyed, and the Earth will be laid bare.

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.

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.

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.
