Ep 290#290: A Tale of Two Cities
The Church in America has a choice to make, and Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the decision we face by comparing two cities from Scripture: Nineveh and Jerusalem. Both cities fell away from God and His Word, and each responded to the prophets (who were sent by God to warn them to repent) in different ways. Pastor Allen discusses what needs to happen in our individual hearts, and as a nation, to position ourselves to receive God's mercy and restoration. We have been planted where we live for God's purposes, and it's our responsibility to carry His Truth into our communities.

Ep 289#289: Lead a Life of Significance
Just as athletes need to consistently train their bodies, cultivating a strong faith requires purpose and intentionality. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses practices that will help us mature as Christians, including reading our Bibles, pursuing an active prayer life, and being willing to discuss our faith with those around us. We have a message to offer the world, and God has chosen to use our imperfect lives to accomplish His purposes—but we must be willing to engage.

Ep 287#287: Jesus' Friends
Jesus performed miracles that changed the course of human lives—and He's still doing the same thing today. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the current condition of our world and how it desperately needs the kind of heart change only Jesus can bring—in person, after person, after person. We need to be willing to engage our culture, telling everyone around us the truth about Jesus: He is the way, the truth, and the life. The more Jesus is present in the public square, the more peace and justice we will see.

Ep 284#284: There is a God! - Kingdom Authority
God invested in planet Earth when He sent His son to become one of us. Pastor Allen Jackson discusses that investment and how it yields fruit as we choose to invest our time, energy, resources, and talents in the things God said would provide the best dividend in our lives and in His Kingdom. When we accept Jesus as Lord of our lives, we gain authority over evil and darkness. Pastor Allen tells us about this authority, what it means to our lives, and how to express our authority in Christ so we can live triumphantly.

#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.

Do our current circumstances indicate that we're entering the end times?

Just as a cloudy sky means a storm may be coming, we need to be aware, prepared, and ready for shifts in the spiritual realm because they directly influence our lives.

Ep 272#272: Lead with Faith - Boldness Needed
Cultivating a bold faith will enable us to endure disappointment, discouragement, and all types of adversity. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson examines the successes and struggles of Abraham, Moses, Jonah, and Paul. As they suffered trials, God refined their character and strengthened them. The Bible says the outcome of suffering is that God Himself will perfect, confirm, strengthen, and establish us, and we can hold onto that promise when we encounter adversity in our lives today.

Let's not be satisfied with going through the motions, but embrace a bold, God-honoring response to this year.

Ep 263#263: Time for a Change
Is it appropriate to talk about current events at church?

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.

Ep 256#256: Truth Be Told - The Power of the Spirit
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.

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.

Ep 255#255: Truth Be Told - The Power of the Cross
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.

Ep 254#254: Truth Be Told - The Freedom of Forgiveness
How can we be free from the hurt caused by others? Who do we need to forgive, and how do we do it? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the importance and power of forgiveness, and the foundational role it plays in the outcome of our lives. He provides examples from the Bible of when people chose to forgive others, even after they were terribly wronged, and the blessings that unfolded as a result of that decision.

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. When the Holy Spirit convicts us, He always offers a way of escape. The enemy, on the other hand, condemns us, telling us we're stuck, and we'll never change. We need wisdom and awareness to discern the difference. Pastor Allen also unpacks the meaning behind terms like forgiveness, justification, sanctification, and redemption, showing the role each plays in freeing us from the impact of guilt and sin.

Ep 252#252: Truth Be Told
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.

When you've veered off course, how do you find your way back to God? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses one of the quickest ways to align ourselves with God: learning to fear Him.

He talks about the importance of adhering to God's Truth as we navigate our lives. When our primary goal is to please the Lord, not men, and to fear the Lord, not people, we gain the strength to follow Him and stand for His Truth, wherever He leads.
