When we receive the backlash that can come from speaking up about our faith, it's easy to think, "Next time, I'll stay quiet." But that's not the choice God calls us to make. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses what to expect when we obey the Lord. He shares about the life of leaders like Moses, Peter, and John the Baptist to illustrate how perseverance through persecution is where we find spiritual growth and deeper faith.

#774: Seasons of Great Change

How many times have we said "No, thank You" to the Lord when He presents us with an opportunity? We feel inadequate, or weak, or too busy—but God knows what He is doing when He asks us to act. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses Moses, one of the greatest leaders in the Bible, and how he walked in humble obedience to the Lord even when he felt insufficient for the assignment.

#773: Lessons in Listening - The Voice of the King

One of the most consistent characteristics of the people of God in the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, is that they listen to God. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson explains how, in order to hear what God is saying to us, we have to know Jesus of Nazareth as King and understand the nature of our position in His Kingdom. He shares that we need the humility to be learners—to have a listening posture and to intentionally invest our strength, our resources, our gifts, and our entire selves as ...

#770: What is Ahead? - Lightning

While some Christians in America have constructed a theology primarily centered in comfort and convenience, we should be willing to do whatever is necessary to fulfill the assignments the Lord has placed before us. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the End of the Age, the time period right before Jesus' return to Earth. He shares what the Scripture tells us we can expect about that time—both hardships and rewards. God will bring justice and judgment to His people, Jew and Gentile al...

#768: What is Ahead? A Conclusion; A Beginning

As you look ahead to Jesus' return at the End of the Age, do you feel anticipation and joy or fear and dread? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the spiritual growth we need to undergo to be prepared for the future. Jesus advises us to be aware of the "birth pains" that will precede His return, and Pastor Allen points out how many of these are present in the world today, including the rise of deception, evil, and lawlessness. He also explains the parable of the wheat and the tares an...

#766: Three Centurions - The Rest of the Story

We write our futures with what we choose to believe, so let's choose to believe in Jesus and His power to transform our lives. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses centurions—Roman military officers who decided to align their lives with Jesus of Nazareth. These men weren't connected to the Jewish religion, but because of their unlikely faith, God was able to move through them and transform history. Pastor Allen teaches from the books of Matthew, Luke, and Acts to encourage us to be lik...

#765: Three Centurions - The Power to Change

Living out our faith doesn't mean we just go to church sometimes. It means we're willing to be identified as Christ-followers in every arena of our lives, no matter where God asks us to go or what He asks us to do. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses two biblical leaders, Cornelius and Peter. They stood for Jesus—even when it cost them—because they understood the power God had to change their lives and circumstances. Because of their obedience and love for Jesus, the course of history...

He shares the story found in Matthew 8 of the Roman centurion who asked Jesus to heal his servant, and he encourages us to lead with faith boldly for Jesus, too.

#763: Three Centurions - The Power to Choose

Our past failures don't have the power to define our futures because we can choose to align ourselves with Jesus, the One who can overcome anything, even death.

At the scene, we're told about a Roman centurion who, against all likelihood, chooses to acknowledge Jesus as the Son of God.

#762: Welcoming Jesus as Lord

What does our relationship with Jesus look like? How we know Him matters, not because it changes Him, but because it changes the opportunities in our lives. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem before He is crucified. In the crowd that day, many people were rejoicing at Jesus' arrival, but some rejected Him, and others were plotting to kill Him.

#758: Finish the Race - Jesus' Victory on Display

Just because Jesus' plan for our redemption was completed when He rose from the dead doesn't mean He's finished working in the earth. And like Him, we have Kingdom-assignments to complete.

#753: Let's Eat - Three Banquets
