Is there a point where the Lord will no longer offer forgiveness? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson explores passages from the Old and New Testament to help us answer this question. We don't want to live in such a way that God uses His judgement to maintain the integrity of His justice. Pastor Allen also discusses the sacrament of marriage and how our perspective on it has changed in recent decades. Our nation was formed on biblical principles, and as we drift further away from God's Truth and toward paganism, we move closer toward God's judgement.

What's the difference between transformational faith and transactional faith? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses each approach, and shows us why we should pursue a faith that continually transforms us from the inside out. We need an encounter with Jesus, and taking the posture of a learner will help us approach the gospel in a new way so it can speak personally into our lives. Pastor Allen highlights four powerful invitations Jesus offers each of us—if we accept and follow them, we can find new freedom.

Will we give into anxiety and fear, or choose to walk in the triumph that is ours in Christ? In this sermon, Pastor Allen discusses the power of pushing back on fear by giving thanks, then highlights a passage from 2 Kings, chapter 7, where God delivers the Israelites from the Arameans by using unlikely people: four men with leprosy. For the Lord to intervene on our behalf, we'll have to: Acknowledge we have needs only God can resolve; Trust God's timing; Expect discouraging people, as well as help from unlikely candidates; Trust that God's help will come—often in an unexpected way—as we move forward.

If you're frightened, anxious, or uncertain, begin to seek the Lord. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses what it means to seek the Lord, offering insight on why it's important, and how to begin. He highlights people from the Bible who sought the Lord and were helped—and those who didn't. Jesus didn't die on the cross so we could remain infants—maturing in our faith is essential to our God-assignments. As we grow in our understanding of the Lord and His character, we become equipped to pursue His purposes, instead of our own. It's time to seek the Lord!

If our faith does not influence the place where we live, beyond the sharing of theological ideas, we have stumbled in our assignment. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the Church, politics, and culture. He offers many examples where Jesus and others in the Bible had to engage with the political leaders of their day in order to complete their assignment from God. While the Church should not endorse candidates and parties, we are absolutely called to engage in our culture, addressing what's happening in our world from a biblical perspective and helping one another be aware.

Were the founding fathers Christians? What role did Christianity play in establishing America? Should our faith influence our government and our culture? What does the separation of church and state really mean? On this podcast, WallBuilders President Tim Barton joined Pastor Allen Jackson to discuss these questions and more. Without a full picture of history, it's easy to be deceived, falling prey to people who offer only a portion of the truth. Barton offers insights on American history that can help strengthen the foundations of your knowledge. His organization, WallBuilders, is dedicated to teaching America's forgotten history and heroes, with an emphasis on the moral, religious, and constitutional foundation on which America was built.

Our ultimate goal in life is to be faithful with the assignments God has given us. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses several practices we can adopt to become more faithful followers of Christ. Obedience, perseverance, and a commitment to overcome adversity can grow our faith and our trust in God. This doesn't require the force of our will or steely determination, but understanding who we are in Christ, and the power and authority we have, through Him. With Jesus, we can overcome anything and accomplish whatever God sets before us.

Our faith matters, and what you choose to believe impacts the people around you and our culture. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses faith, faithfulness, and obedience—characteristics that must be learned and cultivated. To be faithful, you also need to be willing to do difficult things. Pastor Allen highlights several people in the Bible as examples of faithfulness, discussing key aspects of their character that became evident during challenging circumstances. Being faithful doesn't mean seeking out difficult things, but being willing to repent, stand firm, not retreat, and be bold and courageous when faced with adversity.

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 faith and helps us stand firm so we can point others toward God's truth and lead them into His Kingdom.

God is doing something new, and He is inviting us to join Him. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson compares our challenging circumstances to approaching a difficult mountain pass. We need God's insight to determine our next steps, and that means seeking Him, listening to Him, and following Him in a new way. Pastor Allen offers insight to help equip us and strengthen us for the journey.

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 with a prayer asking for God's healing and miraculous intervention in the lives of those who need it.

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? What do you expect it to accomplish? How would you know if your faith journey was a win or a loss? Pastor Allen offers several biblical truths to help us understand the purpose of our faith—and guide our daily decisions—so our lives can have an impact beyond time.

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 to God, He will change our hearts, and we will become more effective participants in His Kingdom.

We need God's Truth to help us navigate this season of deception. God is ushering in something new, and Pastor Allen Jackson offers Scriptures that can help us understand what we're living through, and what's ahead. 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 leading with our faith, sharing God's Truth, and impacting our culture—just as the prophets did.

Can we trust God? Do we really think He will keep His Word? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the importance of remembering history—our nation's and our own. As we begin to review our stories, in case after case, we see the fingerprints of God's faithfulness all over our lives. Remembering what God has done gives us strength and courage to continue to trust Him with our struggles today. God is our Provider, our Healer, our Banner, and our Deliverer, and taking our thoughts and emotions captive to His Truth leads us to His peace.

God chose to make us a part of His Kingdom, but we also have a choice to make—follow Him, or decide to go our own way. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the people of God—a group God created and set apart for Himself. We become a part of God's people through our faith in Jesus, and we have unique assignments in His Kingdom. Choosing to pursue godliness, holiness, and obedience will help prepare us for those roles—and our diligence will strengthen the entire Body of Christ.

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. In Genesis 17:7, God established His covenant with Abraham, telling him, "I will always be your God and the God of your descendants after you." That covenant applies to the Jewish people—and its promises extend to us, through our faith in Jesus.

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 best for your life.

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 statement as a way to strengthen our convictions so we can serve the Lord with an undivided heart.

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 words carry spiritual authority, and when we bless someone with our words and laying on our hands, we invite God's supernatural power into their lives and their assignments.

One day we will appear before the judgment seat of Christ—that's not a threat, but a promise that can bring great hope to Christ-followers. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson makes us aware of different points of judgment that await us and encourages us to live our lives in such a way that judgment will be in our favor. He offers Scripture to show how our faithfulness to Jesus in this life will determine our opportunities in eternity. How intentionally do you use the gifts God gave you? Do you eagerly pursue Him and His purposes, or are you often swept into worldly pursuits? We want to make choices that lead to God rewarding us for the way we served Him with our time, talents, resources, and efforts.

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. We are saved when we accept Jesus as Lord of our lives, but maturing as Christ-followers requires intentionality and effort. Pursuing godliness, holiness, purity, and righteousness unleashes something that will bear fruit for all eternity. The majority of our existence is going to be spent in eternity, and our opportunities there will be linked to what we've chosen to do in time—so choose the honor the Lord in all your ways.

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 additional insight. He also spends time discussing Christian Nationalism, patriotism, and the importance of putting Jesus first in your life.

The New Testament describes baptisms in plural—there is more than one type of baptism. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses John's baptism, Christian baptism, and Holy Spirit baptism. Each type of baptism serves a different purpose in our Christian lives. Jesus submitted Himself to be baptized by John, and He commanded His disciples to wait to be baptized in the Holy Spirit before they left Jerusalem. Baptism was important to Jesus, and it's wise to learn why it should be important to us, too. If we choose to yield to the power of God and follow His commands, we help His Kingdom come and His will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.
