#279: There is a God! - A Problem & A Promise
Each of us must choose what we'll do about God. Will we yield to Him as Lord and King, or will we place ourselves in the position of ultimate authority? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the blessings that come when we choose to obey God, and the curses that result when we don't. Sin is a spiritual disease that is highly contagious and ultimately terminal—engaging in it will destroy you. Pastor Allen offers insight on the spiritual forces at work around us, and also discusses God's design for marriage, family, and gender.

Ep 278#278: There is a God! - Forces Beyond Yourself
God is real, and He desires a relationship with us. Our lives aren't just about what we physically acquire or accomplish—we live in a spiritual dimension, as well, and learning about God brings spiritual freedom to our lives. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson offers foundational truths about God and the reality of His Kingdom. Just as the Kingdom of God exists, so does an opposing kingdom. Pastor Allen discusses both, and offers insight on sin, what it does to us, and ways we can distance ourselves from its influence.

Ep 258#258: Truth Be Told - Freedom from Guilt & Shame
Shame tells us we're hopeless, we'll never get it right, and we've always been wrong. Those thoughts do not come from the Spirit of God, and we need spiritual tools to overcome them. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson helps us recognize the impact guilt and shame has on our lives and our faith, and offers steps we can take to be freed from it. Freedom in Christ doesn't mean just avoiding old habits and thought patterns, but believing, repenting, and acknowledging Jesus is Lord in a much bolder and intentional way, and Pastor Allen helps us get started.

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.

Ep 253#253: Truth Be Told - Freedom from Guilt
God offers us freedom from guilt, if we are willing to receive it. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses guilt—how we handle it can impact the course of our lives.

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.
