Allen Jackson Ministries

To flourish in the season ahead, we desperately need two things: to be aware of the Light around us, and to be willing to embrace God’s Truth. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the importance of spiritual vision; It enables us to recognize God’s movement, and discern truth from lies, good from evil, and darkness from light. Jesus is the only solution to what plagues us. Drawing close to Him, reading God’s Word, sharing our God-stories, and voicing our biblical worldview can help strengthen our faith and bring others into His light.

Do you imagine God would ask you to take a stand against the devil’s schemes? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the war in Heaven and on Earth. We see evidence of this battle in our physical world through turmoil, chaos, and deception—but the underlying cause of all of it is spiritual, and the Church has a key role to play. As a part of the discussion, Pastor Allen talks about the dangers of pride and the destruction it brings, and the importance of aligning our thoughts with God’s.

A battle for our hearts and minds is raging around us, and to fight against it, we need to orient ourselves to God’s Truth. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the steady stream of messaging washing over us that opposes all that is pure, righteous, and true, and offers an antidote: seeking God and pursuing His Truth fervently. A part of being a Christ-follower is reconciling how we think to how God thinks. As we allow His Truth to transform us, we’ll gain the courage and strength we need to stand firm.

As our world becomes increasingly unstable, there’s a growing sense of urgency to proclaim the good news of the Kingdom of God to the people around us. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson helps us see who God is calling us to be by contrasting the lives of different people in the Bible, and how they responded to God. When we establish Jesus as Lord of our lives, priorities change, and we exchange basing our lives on, “my life, my dream, and my plan,” to serve at His pleasure, wherever and to whomever He calls us.

Why are we experiencing school shootings and increasing violence in our cities? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses whether our nation—and the Church—has forgotten God. He presents a series of questions to help us discern where our individual hearts, dreams, and aspirations are focused. God will complete His good purposes in the earth, and we want to be ready to help Him. Pastor Allen offers several things we can do to prepare for what’s ahead.

Disappointment and weariness are a part of everyone’s journey, but instead of sinking into despair, we can choose to have a different response. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson focuses on Jesus, what He did for us, and the help He offers us today. Jesus is the One who can deliver us from difficult situations, and He is the One who will reign triumphant over all of His adversaries. He came to destroy your enemies and to free you from the places where you are held captive—a friendship with Him is worth pursuing!

“In God we trust,” has been America’s national motto since 1955, and in this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses our nation’s Judeo-Christian heritage, and our dual citizenship in both America and the Kingdom of God. Our future doesn’t rely on governments, politicians, nor the economy, but on the mercy and grace of Almighty God. Pastor Allen offers three ways we can learn to trust the Lord more fully: accepting God’s Truth; allowing the trust of God to grow in our hearts; and being willing to submit ourselves to the Holy Spirit's training and discipline.

A church may have Christian architecture, Christian language, and religious symbols and activities, but if it denies the divinity of Jesus and the authority of Scripture, it’s not a Christian church. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson talks about how our culture is separating itself from a Judeo-Christian worldview, and the importance of strengthening our faith and being obedient to the truth that we know. He also discusses the three different types of baptism presented in Scripture (John’s baptism; Christian baptism; and Spirit baptism), and the significance of each.

From Genesis 12 through the book of Revelation, we find the story of God developing a people for Himself. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the people of God, who they are, and how and why we want to be counted amongst them. In Genesis 17:7, God established His covenant with Abraham, telling him, "I will always be your God and the God of your descendants after you." That covenant applies to the Jewish people—and its promises extend to us, through our faith in Jesus.

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.

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 reminds us that God is intimately aware of our circumstances, and apart from His mercy and our willingness to yield to Him, we will not live in freedom. Citing scripture from the end of the book of Job, Pastor Allen discusses aspects of God’s character and His sovereignty, and how these truths can inform our lives today. Pastor Allen also suggests several ways we can equip ourselves to follow God’s leading as we move forward.

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’re not the first generation to wander away from God. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses several times in the Bible where God extended mercy and grace to His wayward people, once they decided to return to Him with their whole hearts. What would it look like for us to begin to return to the Lord, as individuals and as a nation? How do we begin? Pastor Allen offers insight, highlighting specific character traits and attitudes we can begin to cultivate to draw closer to the Lord and extend God’s hope, truth, and peace, to those around us.

Our faith is centered in a person, His name is Jesus of Nazareth, and our relationship with Him is what defines our eternity. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson offers tools to help us discern truth and recognize deception during this time of unprecedented change. He highlights behaviors and attitudes that help build our faith and those that diminish it. Jesus is the only One who can secure our future, and it's time to focus on strengthening our friendship with Him.

We have a biblical assignment to pass our faith to the next generation. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson highlights several places in the Bible where Jesus specifically discusses children, how they are treated, and their role in His Kingdom. Our God story begins even before our lives begin, and He has given each of us unique assignments—including every child. Jesus warns us not to hinder their pursuit of Him, but to strengthen them in their faith and their knowledge of Him.

Angels are a part of our lives more than we realize, and Jesus told us they would play a central role at the end of the age. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson examines the appearance of angels in the book of Revelation, and the messages they delivered to the Church. When we take our place and work to strengthen the Church, adding momentum to what God is doing, we join the angels. By raising our awareness of spiritual things, and how our words and actions influence those spiritual forces in our lives, we become more effective advocates for His Kingdom.

God has called us to be overcomers, not overlookers. Remembering how God has delivered us from previous difficulties can help strengthen us as we encounter new challenges today. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the growing pressures Christians will face between now and Jesus’ return. He reminds us we shouldn’t be surprised by opposition and offers examples from Jesus’ and Peter’s lives to show how they chose to stand firm in the Truth, pleasing God and following Him instead of conforming to the culture.

The Kingdom of God and the kingdom of darkness exist, and they directly impact our thoughts and our lives. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the reality of these two kingdoms, and their different focuses, agendas, and objectives. Our job, as Christ-followers, is to align ourselves as closely as possible with God’s Kingdom and His purposes. What you love and where you invest your money, time, and efforts, can help illustrate which kingdom you serve today. Pastor Allen also discusses the battle that takes place within our minds and offers insight to help us recognize and overcome its influence.

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.

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?

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.

God established a covenant with the Jewish people and the land of Israel, and nothing can break that commitment. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses God’s faithfulness to Israel and how it extends to us through our faith in Jesus. Israel plays a key role in the end of the age and being aware of the Jewish people, and the state of Israel, will help us pray in an informed way. Pastor Allen also discusses antisemitism and the spirit of anti-Christ, and how opposition to God’s purposes will increase as we draw closer to Jesus’ return.

The world has been navigating choppy waters, and we need to prepare for more storms ahead. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the struggles our nation currently faces and offers steps we can take to strengthen ourselves—and the Church—so we can impact the world with our faith. Our current condition is the result of years of forgetting God, and restoring it relies on each of us assessing our own hearts and determining to follow Him in a new way. Pastor Allen compares the faith of Solomon to that of Paul, then walks through Hebrews 11, showing what faithfulness to God looks like in different lives.

If you’re frightened, anxious, or uncertain, begin to seek the Lord. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses what it means to seek the Lord, offering insight on why it's important, and how to begin. He highlights people from the Bible who sought the Lord and were helped—and those who didn’t. Jesus didn’t die on the cross so we could remain infants—maturing in our faith is essential to our God-assignments. As we grow in our understanding of the Lord and His character, we become equipped to pursue His purposes, instead of our own. It’s time to seek the Lord!

What are we unable to see, and how is our blindness leading us astray? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses our need for spiritual vision. We need insight beyond what we can see, feel, hear, taste, and touch—and that can only come from God and our willingness to follow Him. Pastor Allen discusses the many people in Hebrews 11 who show us what it looks like to have spiritual vision, including Noah, Moses, and Joseph. As lawlessness and censorship grow, we need to know what’s true, and the same type of faith and insight we see in Hebrews 11 is available to us today, if we’re willing to receive it.
