This challenging season requires us to stand firm in our faith in a new way. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson encourages us to be intentionally faithful to God in every aspect of our lives. It may seem like our world is sinking into new levels of debauchery, but unfaithfulness to God is nothing new. When the people of Israel were unfaithful to God, they found themselves in difficult circumstances, too. When we decide to be faithful to God and diligent with His assignments, it strengthens our...

Healings and miracles were unmistakable parts of Jesus' ministry, and they are available to us today. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson explains the difference between healings and miracles, and shows various examples of where they take place in the Bible. God is sovereign, and He decides if and when He will supernaturally intervene in our lives—but the Bible tells us we are welcome to come before God's throne and ask Him to accomplish what seems impossible to us. Pastor Allen ends the sermon...

If you're not intentional, you're prone to wander. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson encourages us to assess our intentions, when it comes to our faith. What is the objective of your faith?

It's time for God's people to return to Him. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson encourages us to draw close to the Lord and allow Him to show us where we have drifted away. Examining the attitudes of our hearts, our thoughts, our intentions, how we view one another, how we act, and how we respond to invitations from God and the Holy Spirit, shows much about the current condition of our faith. Christ-followers have been redeemed, and our redemption requires a response from us. If we will return...

He discusses the importance of having the eyes of a prophet—developing the ability to see the world through God's perspective. When we become Christians, we are entirely new creations, with a new heart, a new name, and a new purpose. As we mature spiritually, we are responsible for l...

In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the people of God—a group God created and set apart for Himself.

Choosing to pursue godliness, holiness, and obedience will help prepare us for those roles—and our diligence will strengthen the entire Body of Christ. To suppor...

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.

How do we move our faith from being theoretical—like something learned in a classroom—to an active part of our daily lives? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the difference between accumulating knowledge about the Bible and walking by faith, intending to honor and abide in the Lord in all we do. Salvation is free and available to every person who declares Jesus is Lord. But once you have received that free gift, it takes time and effort to grow your faith so you can experience God's...

What does it mean to be a person of belief in a season when skepticism is more popular? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the middle ground of being "almost persuaded" to believe in Jesus. He presents a series of statements, such as "I am persuaded; Jesus of Nazareth is the Way, the Truth, and the Life," and discusses why each proclamation is true. Belief is not static but is something that is constantly growing or diminishing. Pastor Allen invites us to personally reflect on each s...

Hebrews 6 tells us the laying on of hands is foundational to our faith, but we don't spend much time thinking about it or practicing it. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the laying on of hands, offers examples of it in Scripture, and explains why we do it. The laying on of hands is a way to transmit blessings, spiritual authority, wisdom, the Holy Spirit, healing, a spiritual gift, or a ministry. It's also a biblical way to commission a person for service in the body of Christ. Our...

Judgment is not always a bad thing—it can be in your favor! In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the fact that God will judge each of us one Day, and truly acknowledging this can change the way we live our lives.

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 ad...
