When you decide to follow God, you're stepping out of the crowd and into a new way of living. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses how Christ-followers are called to different standards, and as we follow God's Word, it sets us apart. Leading with faith can come with opposition, and we shouldn't compromise or silence our beliefs based on the reactions of other people. Instead, we need to draw close to God and ask His Spirit to help us be bold as we follow Him in a new way. Pastor Allen ...

God asks us to be different than the world around us, but what does "different" mean? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses characteristics that distinguish God's people from the rest of the crowd: contentment, godliness, joy, generosity with time and money, and more. Following Jesus isn't about sitting in church or practicing religion—it's about allowing the Holy Spirit to align your heart and your life with God and His Word. Pastor Allen offers several short prayers to help us repent,...

When Jesus interacted with crowds and the disciples, He didn't treat everyone the same way. He drew close, strengthened, and invested in those who consistently choose to stand beside Him. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses how equity—equal outcomes for everyone—is not a biblical idea. God has a unique plan for each of our lives, and our response to Him shows whether we are trustworthy and faithful disciples—or not. As we examine the disciples' lives, we see that following Jesus requi...

It's time to stop blending in with the people around us and decide to whole-heartedly follow Jesus—even when that comes with a cost. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses stories from the New Testament where people either chose to step out of the crowd to draw close to Jesus or align with the people rejecting Him. We see the same reactions in our world today. Though there is much temptation to stay within the "safe" confines of the crowd, following God requires choosing to trust Him and...

We either stand with God or with evil—a middle ground does not exist. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson encourages us to choose to follow God, even when that comes with adversity. We live in a culture that relentlessly tempts us to sell ourselves for lesser things—money, power, acceptance, accolades. But God is looking for men and women who will stand with Him and His truth. This stance may put us at odds with the world around us, but it also comes with God's peace and provision. Standing wit...

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.

Peter's interactions with Jesus should give us all hope; We don't need to be perfect to be powerful messengers for the gospel. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the Apostle Peter and his interactions with Jesus.
