Allen Jackson Ministries

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.

After seasons of suffering, discomfort, difficulty, and hardship, God Himself brings restoration—with new strength, greater stability, and a better future. Pastor Allen Jackson discusses how God is bringing restoration to our world today, and the role God calls us to play in our generation. He offers a biblical perspective on several issues we face, including the destruction of the nuclear family, censorship, immigration through our southern border, communism in America, the destruction of our economy, and the dissatisfaction and entitlement so prevalent within our culture.

Does your Christian faith play a role in your holiday celebrations? Pastor Allen Jackson offers a quick holiday guide for growing in God. He discusses the Jewish High Holy Days and shows how we can apply some of their practices to the American holiday season that stretches from Halloween to New Year’s Day. Instead of making the holidays simply about planning, shopping, cleaning, and eating, we can give fresh purpose to these days of celebration. Pastor Allen offers ideas on how we can redirect each holiday’s focus towards God and His purposes, spreading God’s salt and light as we celebrate.

The Spirit of God offers each of us a personal invitation towards freedom. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses how all the freedoms we enjoy come directly from God, and for our children to know the liberties and freedoms we do, the Church must be alive, healthy, and vibrant. God will respond to us as we repent and pray for ourselves, our communities, and our nation. Pastor Allen then leads the congregation in a prayer to ask God into our lives and offers an invitation towards baptism.

The ability to persevere and overcome has a great deal to do with our vision and how we interpret what we see. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses spiritual vision, why we need it, and what we can do to cultivate it. We have five physical senses, and spiritual vision is another “sense” the Holy Spirit can help us develop. By opening our hearts to new things from the Lord, we can learn to see and understand Him better, which will help us trust and follow Him in new ways.

God is doing something new, and He is inviting us to join Him. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson compares our challenging circumstances to approaching a difficult mountain pass. We need God’s insight to determine our next steps, and that means seeking Him, listening to Him, and following Him in a new way. Pastor Allen offers insight to help equip us and strengthen us for the journey.

Does your life show evidence of being a faithful follower of Jesus? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses how being faithful to God requires directional leadership—not looking to others for affirmation, but boldly moving forward with what you know you’re supposed to do. In Philippians 4:9, Paul told us, “Whatever you’ve learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.” Are we living in that way? Pastor Allen also offers insight on the End of the Age and our assignments.

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 are learning lessons we cannot afford to lose or forget. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson reviews World Outreach Church’s prayer plan (The Battle Plan) from the past year and discusses key points to carry forward. We’re in training, and through the trials, God is teaching us to take our assignments more seriously. We’re discovering the importance of gathering together, repentance, how to overcome, and how to watch, listen, think, and act with spiritual discernment. We are going to need to be fully surrendered to the Lord in order to stand in the season ahead, and God, in His great mercy, is preparing us.

What does it mean to “fear the Lord,” and why does it matter? Pastor Allen Jackson explains this often-misunderstood concept, and how it impacts our faith. He discusses irrational fears we need to overcome versus healthy fears that should be cultivated, and how both play into our relationship with God. There is a tension between God’s mercy, grace, and justice, and as we grow into this realization, it motivates us to draw closer to God so we can stand firmly in our faith.

Jesus said He came to show us the Kingdom of God, and with the help of God’s Spirit, we can be awakened to the purpose, the characteristics, and the assignments of that Kingdom. Pastor Allen Jackson discusses aspects of God’s Kingdom, how it’s different than nations and countries on Earth, and our responsibilities and assignments in the Kingdom, as God’s people. The foundation of our lives and our eternity is secured by God’s eternal Kingdom, and as we grow in understanding it, we can find courage to trust and follow God in new ways.

Our world has a tremendous need for truth. In a time when it’s increasingly difficult to know what is true, God’s Word stands as the ultimate authority. Jesus consistently said, “I tell you the Truth,” and we need the power and knowledge of His Truth to protect ourselves from deception. Pastor Allen Jackson discusses how the Church is responsible for being truth-tellers in the midst of our culture. Searching for truth, having the courage to respond to the truth, and aligning ourselves with the truth, can help us experience freedom in God, in new ways.

God’s truth for our lives is so dramatically beyond what we could create for ourselves, that if we didn't have the Word of God to affirm it, we wouldn't dare to believe it. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the power of the cross of Jesus Christ and the freedom offered to us through it. He highlights stories in the New Testament that show God’s transforming power, then offers specific scriptures and prayers to claim over ourselves, so we can be set free into God’s best plans for our lives.

Guilt, shame, rejection, and fear do not have the power to enslave us. On the cross, Jesus freed us from all of this and more. When we accept Jesus as Lord, we welcome the Spirit of God to work a miracle in our lives today. Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the power of God’s Spirit and offers several ways we see it at work: through miracles, healings, faith, discernment, wisdom, supernatural understanding, and more. Pastor Allen also provides steps we can take to prepare ourselves to receive the power of the Holy Spirit so we can gain new freedom in our lives.

All of us are leaders in some way—at work, at home, or in our schools—but we often lack the courage to make our faith a part of our leadership. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses our assignment to be advocates for the Kingdom of God, allowing God to use our leadership opportunities for His purposes. Citing the Exodus story, when the Israelites escaped from slavery in Egypt, he discusses attitudes and behaviors to adopt or avoid, so God’s purposes can be fulfilled in our lives and in the world around us.

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.

There is big trouble ahead, and the book of Revelation calls it the tribulation. Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the tribulation and what we need to do to be prepared. He also offers a detailed explanation on the cross of Jesus Christ, its significance to mankind, and the power available to Christ-followers through it. We will see God move in our lives as we reject sin, turn our hurts over to God, choose purity, and become willingly obedient to the Truth we know.

Every season comes with unique challenges and needs, but we don’t need to be surprised or discouraged by them. Pastor Allen Jackson shows how seasons can be introduced into our lives as training periods, preparing us to flourish in what’s ahead. One season of Pastor Allen’s life included assisting his veterinarian father with equine care, and this sermon includes observations and faith lessons gleaned from tending horses.

Without the Jewish people, we would have no Scripture, no prophets, no Messiah, and no story. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses Israel and the Jewish people, the role they play in our world, and why they are important to the Christian faith. As he presents passages of Scripture that discuss Israel, Pastor Allen puts them into historic perspective, shares his personal experiences in the Holy Land, and shows how the Scripture speaks into our circumstances today. God’s faithfulness to Israel reflects His faithfulness to us.

There's an aspect of our faith that’s beyond our understanding—God is not like us. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the importance of growing in our belief in spiritual things. He answers questions like: Are angels and demons real, and how do they impact us? How can you tell if the Holy Spirit is leading you or an unclean spirit? How are spiritual gifts different than the fruit of the Spirit? How can we strengthen our belief in things we can’t fully understand?

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 describes Himself as “Father,” and Pastor Allen uses Scripture to illustrate why that male descriptor is central to our understanding of God, and our relationship with Him. He also discusses the importance of fatherhood—a role assigned specifically to men. Recognizing that our earthly fathers can cause hurts, Pastor Allen offers insight on forgiveness, and how God can heal the sting of broken relationships and situations. He then offers a list of attitudes we can embrace to show we are maturing as God’s children, giving our best to Him.

What does it look like to fear the Lord in our everyday lives, and why is it an important practice? Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the fear of the Lord, and how it is a requirement of God’s people. Fearing God doesn’t mean shrinking away from Him in terror, but holding Him in awe, respect, and reverence, as we acknowledge He is not like us, and submit ourselves to His plans and purposes. Cultivating the fear of the Lord is the doorway into the presence of God.

"We are experiencing a powerful expression of God’s grace. How will we respond? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson shows how God is restoring ideas we used to embrace—the sanctity of life, and freedom to express our faith—and this type of movement is new to our generation. God is changing the hearts of the people in Israel, He is purifying His Church, and He is doing it in unexpected ways. When God moves, He may call us to stand for His Truth in difficult places. Pastor Allen helps us understand the importance of being Jesus’ advocates wherever He places us. "
