Allen Jackson Ministries

God has given each of us a revelation of Himself that we can receive, understand, and interpret. But we must choose what to do with it: live as skeptics and cynics or as believers with bold, increasing faith that will allow us to flourish amid challenging times. The Church has a choice to make: Will we demonstrate to the watching world the faith we proclaim inside the walls of the church? Will we be the people of God in this season?

Jesus’s first directive was not to believe, but to repent. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses how repentance leads to faith—it’s a foundational practice we cannot afford to ignore. Our salvation is an expression of grace—we didn’t earn it, we don’t deserve it, and it’s not based on merit. But for Jesus to be Lord of our lives, we need to regularly repent and yield our will to Him. Jesus is Lord of everything, or He’s not Lord of anything. Pastor Allen offers steps we can take toward repentance, inviting the Spirit of God to give us eyes to see and ears to hear what He wants us to show us.

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.

It’s critical for the Church to be in the world—but it’s destructive for the world to be in the Church. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the Church’s important role as a gatekeeper against evil and darkness. Jesus didn't come to condemn us, but to save us—and we have an opportunity to take this eternity-changing message to those around us. As we invite the Holy Spirit’s help, we can move beyond having a theoretical faith to becoming effective advocates for His Kingdom. Pastor Allen offers Scripture to show how God is continually working to transform our minds, bodies, and spirits into something new.

For something to be false, there must be something else that’s true. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson offers insight to help us distinguish false teachings from the truth of God. Instead of following someone based on their anointing, the miracles they perform, or the popularity of their church—first look at the fruit of their lives. Is it God-honoring? Does their life align with the truth of Scripture, or do they seem to be seeking approval from the world? Is Jesus central to their story? Pastor Allen discusses the fruit of the lives of three leaders in the Bible—Saul, David, and Solomon—and how their decisions impacted their anointings and their eternities.

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.

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.

Spiritual forces influence our lives, and awareness of them changes everything. Pastor Allen teaches that as we practice our faith through Bible reading and prayer and letting Jesus’ words and actions inform our imaginations, we begin to live in the freedom and fullness of all that God intends for us.

Our foundations must be strong and stable as the storms around us intensify. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson reminds us that Jesus is the foundation of our faith, and we gain stability by embracing God’s Word and following what it says—including repenting. Repentance is not an emotion; it’s a decision that emerges from our will to follow God, turn away from anything that diminishes His role in our lives, and honor Him with our habits, attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors. Greater faith, confidence, and trust in God will come as we build our willingness to practice repentance.

God has made abundant provision for us to be victorious, and He does not intend for us to lead our lives afraid. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the spiritual warfare taking place on the earth, and the role angels play in the battle—they are on our side! He examines passages from the New Testament to show the types of angels God created and the unique purposes assigned to them. As evil increases in the earth, so does God’s movement. Instead of focusing on the darkness, it’s time to turn our attention to what God is doing in the earth and the help He extends to us—including His angels.

What’s happening in the spiritual realm has a tremendous impact on what takes place in the earth. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the reality of angels and demons and helps us recognize their influence over our lives. We often rely on the next election, debates, and the judicial system to solve our problems, but the Church has the spiritual authority to make a difference in our world. It’s time to take our places, put our faith into practice, intercede, and ask God to intervene on behalf of His people.

Our behaviors demonstrate our faith in God (or the lack thereof). In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the spiritual conflict taking place around us and encourages us to fight the battle by first examining our own hearts. Where are we following our own ways instead of yielding to God and His truth? Actions that draw us closer to God include practicing humility, praying and meditating on God’s Word, and asking for the Holy Spirit’s help in rooting out anything that separates us from God’s best for our lives. Pastor Allen walks us through several steps and prayers that can help us find true freedom in Christ.

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.
