What does it mean to be spiritually blind? What causes it? How can we fix it? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the importance of seeing the world through God’s perspective.

When we intentionally turn our attention to Jesus and His purposes for our lives, we gain an eternal perspective, as well as wisdom and insight to help us navigate our current circumstances. It’s time to focus on eternity and lead with our faith!

We need invitations to walk in the fullness of the Spirit, the fruit of the Spirit, and the freedom of the Spirit.

It’s critical for the Church to be in the world—but it’s destructive for the world to be in the Church.

Pastor Allen offers Scripture to show how God is continually working to transform our minds, bodies, and spirits into something new.

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?
