Pastor Allen Jackson of World Outreach Church
What does our relationship with Jesus look like? How we know Him matters, not because it changes Him, but because it changes the opportunities in our lives. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem before He is crucified. In the crowd that day, many people were rejoicing at Jesus' arrival, but some rejected Him, and others were plotting to kill Him. Pastor Allen shares how our responses to Jesus can change the outcomes of our lives, and he reminds us of a few essential truths: God is present and loves everyone, He has provided a path of redemption for us, the best is yet to come—and while some will accept His gift of salvation, many will not. The world is getting more confusing every day, but we don't have to be overwhelmed. When we trust in Jesus, He is with us wherever we go.
We may know about Jesus of Nazareth, but we must choose for ourselves the extent of our relationship with Him. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses how we respond to Jesus' invitations and how that choice impacts the rest of our time and future. Pastor Allen shares examples of responses people had when they encountered Jesus, including from the crowd that gathered during Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, the people coming to see Lazarus raised from the dead, the audience who heard Peter's sermon on the day of Pentecost, and the believers in the early Church. Like every person then, we also have a choice to make—a daily, intentional choice to either accept Jesus and His teachings or reject Him. Let's decide today to be witnesses for Jesus in a purposeful, intentional, determined way.
We're being forced to face difficult topics and situations in culture, and that will continue. But let's determine to do the difficult things anyway, completing our God-given assignments with diligence. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses how we can persevere in hardship by remembering what God has done for us and promises to do for us. We're prepared to overcome when we continually remind ourselves of moments of God's deliverance in the past, and our hope will flourish when we look to the future—to Jesus' triumphant return. However, Pastor Allen emphasizes we still have a mission on Earth to overcome evil, and developing a character ready to lead will help us accomplish God's purposes. We have a responsibility to the generations ahead of us, so let's be prepared to defeat deception, fear, and failure through the power of God in our lives.
Just because Jesus' plan for our redemption was completed when He rose from the dead doesn't mean He's finished working in the earth. And like Him, we have Kingdom-assignments to complete. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses overcoming fear and opposition on our missions from God. He shares from the lives of Jesus and the apostles Paul and John to demonstrate that we will face challenges, but God is on our side, and He will prevail. Part of maturing spiritually is walking through difficulties, so we can trust that we face them for a reason. Let's be bold enough to accept God's invitations, to stand firm, and to run our races well. God is still moving! Let's move with Him.
It's not always easy to live out our faith, but we want to run the race of life with determination to honor the Lord, just like Jesus did. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses preparing for inevitable hardships, striving to be overcomers, and following Jesus' lead on how to manage difficulties. Pastor Allen shares moments from Jesus' life and ministry to demonstrate that difficult situations or seasons can be a part of God's plan for our lives, but we don't have to be afraid or anxious. There's a spiritual war waging in the earth today, and developing a courageous faith can protect us from deception and enable us to victoriously finish the race God has set before us. We will face challenges, but God will help us overcome because He is faithful.
Is it possible that difficulties in our lives aren't evidence God has abandoned us, but evidence of His invitations to accomplish His purposes in the earth? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses cultivating a faith that enables us to face hardships with courage. God will ask us to walk through difficult seasons and undertake difficult assignments, so we should anticipate that things will not always be easy. Pastor Allen teaches about the life and ministry of Apostle Paul, who faced imprisonments, beatings, storms, shipwrecks, and threats on his life all in the name of spreading the gospel—and with the guidance of the Holy Spirit. We, too, need to be prepared and have the imagination that God might lead us into hardship for His glory.
God entrusts us with gifts for a reason: not to upgrade our lives, but to be part of God's Kingdom expressed in the earth. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses what we've been called to do with the gifts God has given us. When we accept an assignment from the Lord, He will equip us to accomplish our tasks, and we can be confident that the Holy Spirit will help us and guide us. Our faith must be lived out in public, not hidden inside church buildings, and cooperating with God to spread His love will bring change, both to those around us and to ourselves. Whatever we can accomplish on our own pales in comparison to what we can do when we yield to God—so let's accept His invitations.
God has gifts waiting for us, but to receive them, we must intend to cooperate with Him. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses seven fundamental principles regarding the gifts of God, including that we must choose to accept them, we're accountable for them, and we will be transformed through them. It's possible to reject God's gifts, though, so we must foster faithfulness and an awareness of the Lord's invitations in our lives. Pastor Allen encourages us to persevere through discomfort and vulnerability because God will trust us with more when we give Him our best with what we have. God is moving, and we want to do everything we can to join Him!
In our culture, it can be easy to go through the motions of Christianity instead of intentionally living out our faith. Our God is a God of grace, but He also asks for us to be righteous, and we should want to please Him. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the awareness and humility required to accept God's invitation into His Kingdom. Two parables in Matthew and Luke demonstrate how we've been offered robes of righteousness through faith in Jesus, and we must cultivate the attitude to accept this gift instead of relying on our own abilities. Let's make sure we're prepared for God's Wedding Feast—the return of His Son to Earth—because we want to participate!
Let's give God's direction the highest place of authority in our homes, and let's stop surrendering that place to voices outside our families. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses our responses to God's invitations. The Lord has invited us to participate in His Kingdom, and through two parables found in Matthew and Luke, we can understand the results of accepting or rejecting Him. As the End of the Age draws nearer, we must ask ourselves if we're living with a presumptive attitude toward our faith or if we're wholeheartedly pursuing our Savior. We've been asked to eat at the Lord's table—how will we respond?
For our lives, communities, and nations to get to a better place, we have to stop waiting for someone else to be different; we have to become the difference. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the spiritual authority of God's Word and the responsibility we have to let it change our hearts, minds, and behaviors. As evil grows in our world, so do our opportunities for spreading God's Kingdom to those around us, starting with the people at our kitchen tables. Pastor Allen teaches about Jesus' parable of the wheat and tares, and he clarifies Christians' relationship to the Jewish people, answering the question, "Did the Jews kill Jesus?" As antisemitism increases, so will Christian persecution—but we don't have to be afraid. Let's determine to build a relationship with God, our only source of peace and protection.
The American family can find restoration when we establish God as the authority in our homes once more. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the connection between the Jewish holiday of Passover, Jesus' final supper with His disciples, and our practice of communion—and how all of these, centered around sharing a table, invite God to move in our midst. When we gather around the kitchen table, we have the opportunity to establish who or what has spiritual authority over our homes. Will we let the culture drive our habits and traditions, or will we surrender to God's will? Pastor Allen shares how under the Lord's authority, we find protection, salvation, and deliverance. We've been waiting for the world to change, but God has already given us everything we need to make a difference, starting at our kitchen tables.
It's easy to get worked up about denominational differences, religious traditions, or government parties, but when we focus instead on submitting to God's fundamental truths in our homes, His expressions of power become evident. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses obedience at our kitchen tables. He shares the story of the Exodus generation and the first Passover meal, where the Hebrew slaves found deliverance through obedience and a family meal. God's presence made all the difference for those families that day, and we too can invite God into our lives when we gather to share a meal with loved ones. How we use our kitchen tables begins to determine the spiritual authority over our homes, so let's decide to give God that place.
Obedience to God takes daily, intentional effort. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses recognizing the spiritual authority over our homes and how we can show obedience to God through hospitality. As we can see from the ministry of Apostle Peter, it's not always easy to yield to God, but following His guidance for our lives brings transformation and extends His Kingdom. Pastor Allen also talks about the kitchen table as an expression of spiritual authority over our homes—who or what takes precedence in our households? We must decide for ourselves if we will yield to the daily demands and pressures of this world or if we will choose to obey the God who created us and cares for us.
What roles do our kitchen tables play? Are they surfaces to collect mail, lunchboxes, and odds and ends as we move through our day, or are they gathering spaces where we can be nourished physically and spiritually? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses how we can establish God as the spiritual authority in our homes through hospitality and our kitchen tables. If we want to see change in our households, it will require intentionality and commitment to new habits. Nobody's family is perfect, but the good news is the God we worship is in the restoration business—He can fix anything we've messed up or Satan has destroyed. Obedience can be uncomfortable at first, but saying "Yes" to God's invitations for our households can change the destiny of our nation.

Obedience can be uncomfortable at first, but saying "Yes" to God's invitations for our households can change the destiny of our nation.
Our culture has undervalued the significance of regularly gathering together for meals in our homes—something that impacts the spiritual formation of our families and the unfolding purposes of God. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses three biblical passages where Jesus teaches His audience "table manners": what it means to be a host or guest in someone's home. Hospitality, humility, and mercy are crucial components of expressing our faith, especially around the kitchen table, and Pastor Allen stresses the importance of valuing people and their invitations. God is inviting us to a more vivid faith—how will we respond?
A spiritual force is present in each of our homes, and we want to ensure that God's Holy Spirit has the authority over our kitchen tables and gathering spaces. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the importance of prioritizing hospitality and family meals during our busy weeks. He shares lessons we can learn from intentionally meeting together, like character formation, kindness, and integrity, and he teaches from three passages in the Gospels where we see Jesus share meals with His friends Lazarus, Mary, and Martha. In any season of life, we can find time and space to practice hospitality and pour into each other's lives—and let's determine to do so, because when we do, we honor our Lord Jesus.
Gathering for a meal—a central part of family life throughout time—is increasingly disappearing, but it's more important than we think. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson invites us back to the kitchen table. He discusses how to prioritize seeking the Lord, and he shares from the Book of Acts about the role of hospitality in the Church. Pastor Allen also teaches about discerning God's will for our lives, which is possible when we focus on His Word and cultivate a desire to know Him. Our God is a God of justice and discipline, but He is also a God of promises and provision. Let's return to the kitchen table, and through that habit, let's invite God into the midst of our lives.
It is God alone who brings restoration and healing to us, and we can trust in Him for renewal. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses how our ability to receive from the Lord is linked to our willingness to invite Him into our lives. The Lord will not always respond right when we want Him to, but through faith, we can overcome disappointment and trust that God is moving—regardless of how we feel. Pastor Allen shares stories of eye-opening acts of God's power in the lives of people like Apostle Paul, Apostle Peter, and even himself. God is inviting us to live out a bolder faith as He moves in new ways. Let's respond with "Yes!"
From the opening chapters to the final page of Scripture, miracles and healing are a consistent part of God's interactions with humanity. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses how we can have confidence in Jesus' authority to heal. He is our Great Physician, and Pastor Allen teaches on Matthew, chapter 8, to show that our God has all authority and power over sickness, disease, and spiritual attacks. We can have the peace and confidence to approach Him, too, through Jesus' ultimate sacrifice on the cross. While a miracle or healing is never guaranteed, let's cultivate the faith to trust that God's will for us is always perfect.
Healing and miracles are part of God's redemption story for us. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson teaches about the physical and spiritual restoration available to us through Jesus' work on the cross. In Genesis, we see that all of God's creation was perfect until the introduction of sin and humanity's fall from God's ideal. Pastor Allen shares that because of Jesus' sacrifice, we can be sanctified, redeemed, and restored through His blood. Does this mean God will always heal us immediately? No—our Lord is more interested in our seeking Him and being in relationship with Him. But it does mean we can hope and trust in our Savior and His perfect will for our lives.
Our nation will see reform not when policies change but when we begin revolutions in our hearts. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses how we can transform our lives and communities when we repent and honor God's authority. Significant change is catalyzed spiritually, and that begins with repentance—recognizing our missteps, apologizing to the Lord, and changing our minds and behaviors. Pastor Allen shares Jesus' teaching on having clean hearts, and he details four steps to spark transformation in our lives. We're watching more and more corruption and lawlessness be exposed, like light revealing what's hidden in darkness. So let's trust Jesus to help us walk in new paths.
Liberties and freedoms come from God, not from governments. If we want continued freedom in our nation, we must change our hearts to align more fully with God's desires. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses spiritual health, discipline, and the changes we must undergo to rid ourselves of corruption and sin. When we recognize sinful behaviors, attitudes, or patterns in our lives that don't reflect God's will for us, we can find freedom through repentance, renouncing, releasing unforgiveness, and resolving to change from the inside out. God is moving in the earth, and He is faithful to transform us when we earnestly seek Him.
Our culture needs a reformation, and that's going to start from change within each of our hearts. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses our need for a greater awareness of God's power and a desire to develop spiritually. We can impact our society for God's Kingdom when we consistently choose to commit and submit to our faith. Pastor Allen shares a four-step process that fuels this transformation: repent from carnal behaviors, renounce any attachment to them, release anyone or anything we're harboring unforgiveness toward, and resolve to be different. Through the blood of Jesus, we have been made clean, and when we pursue a deeper faith, God works in and through us to renew our culture.
In spite of our broken world, the existence of evil, the presence of sin, and our own mistakes, God is faithful. His redemptive power is sufficient to rescue us from any damaged situation. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses obedience to God's purposes and the reality of living our lives as advocates of Jesus. We learn from the Apostle Paul that no matter our circumstances or the hardships we deal with, we can be content under the Lord's spiritual protection. We will face disappointments, but we can rest in the truth that God is faithful to those who seek Him.
We can stand in courage—even in the midst of increasing evil in our nation and around the world—because we represent a faithful God. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses how we can confidently trust in the Lord even when it seems like darkness is growing. He shares the importance of seeking God and practicing obedience through life's hardships, and he draws from the life of Apostle Paul to demonstrate that difficult circumstances don't mean we've been abandoned. We've been called to endure, and the God who has called us will never leave us as we stand firm in Him and His truth.
In this uncertain world, the only way to find a certain future is to know God is faithful. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses how we can defend ourselves against the deception in our culture and overcome anxiety and rejection through faith. He teaches from the life of Joseph, who dealt with a broken family, slavery and imprisonment, and rejection after rejection—but who refused to capitulate to the hardships he faced and instead chose to trust in the Lord. As lawlessness and wickedness increase around us, our greatest defense against the darkness is to know that God is faithful.
The rejection, disappointment, and challenging circumstances we've faced are legitimate, but they don't have the power to define our futures. Instead, we can rejoice because God is faithful. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the life of Joseph and how he trusted in the Lord through every trial and hardship he faced. Like Joseph, we have a solid foundation on which to put our hope, so we don't have to be overwhelmed with worry, anxiety, or despair. We can be confident that the God who has been faithful to us will continue to be faithful, and even when life's circumstances leave us broken, God never will.
As we continue to step into an uncertain future, let's determine to seek the Lord. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses how we can rely on God and His strength when we're not sure how to persevere. He teaches from the life of the Apostle Paul to demonstrate that in the midst of persecution and hatred, God's strength will allow us to endure—and endure with hope for the future. Now more than ever, our spiritual health is vital, and Pastor Allen shares the importance of prioritizing seeking the Lord. When we're faced with disappointment and hardship, let's remember that we don't have to rely on our own strength; God is faithful to help us.
"Freedom is not getting to do whatever you want. Freedom is getting to do what God wants you to do," said Pastor Rob McCoy, lead pastor of Calvary Chapel and former mayor of Thousand Oaks, California. In this interview, Pastor Allen Jackson and Pastor McCoy discuss the vital role the Church is called to play in our nation. Liberty can only be found in God, so we must guide our country's conscience in order to preserve our freedom. We may be told that Christians have no place in politics, but the opposite is true. By being an advocate for Jesus Christ, we can win hearts for His Kingdom and defeat the darkness of our culture.
Our world tells us that love should always be easy and stress-free, but is it possible that God's love for us—true love—could lead to disruption and discomfort? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses love, the theme of Advent's fourth week. We have a variety of mistaken notions about love, but we can go to God's Word to understand the truth about this topic. Pastor Allen teaches from three stories—humanity's fall in the Garden of Eden, Jesus' birth in Bethlehem, and Jesus' death on the cross—to show how our Lord's best for us can often look like boundaries, disappointment, and hardship. But through our obedience and by His love, God will faithfully transform us into something better.
Our attitudes and outlooks can impact our lives significantly, so maintaining our God-given joy is essential. But how do we maintain joy? In this sermon covering the third week of Advent, Pastor Allen Jackson shares three steps we can take to keep our joy intact, and he teaches about the impacts joy has on perseverance, especially through suffering. Like hope that needs a foundation to rest on, joy requires upkeep, and we can practice that through familiarity with God's Word, listening to God's voice, and being in godly community. Holidays can be painful, but we can have lasting joy even through suffering, because our joy is made complete through our willingness to persevere in faith.
In the Christmas narrative, angels came to deliver "good news of great joy" to us. Good news of great joy doesn't mean everything is going to be easy, but it does mean our assignments will be meaningful and well-rewarded. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson teaches about the theme for the third week of Advent: joy. We may be tempted to grumble when facing trials, but God calls us to endure with joy. It's counterintuitive to our human natures, but with the Holy Spirit's help, we can find true joy in the midst of hardship. God is moving in the earth, and we want to be a part of what He's doing in His Kingdom, so let's choose to cultivate joy—sustaining, eternal, and supernatural joy.
We will need the joy of the Lord and the strength that comes with it to complete our God-assignments. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses joy, the theme for the third week of Advent. Joy is a spiritual fuel that enables us to endure and overcome, and Pastor Allen shares examples from Nehemiah and Daniel, who flourished in hardship, to model how we, too, can rely on God to supply us with the strength we need. Our world seems to be darker day by day, but this Christmas season, let's overcome evil with the joy that comes from celebrating the birth of our Savior and King.
Our faith has shaped our culture for hundreds of years, but we're living through an immense decline of its influence in our nation. We've been so focused on eternity that we've neglected our role in the present age. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses preparation, a theme of the Advent season. He teaches about leaders like Abraham and Stephen to demonstrate that as God progresses His plans in the world, we have to be intentional in moving with Him. The Church has an assignment, and we need to develop the discernment to understand it and accomplish it!
In the midst of God moving in the earth through remarkable miracles, demonstrations of His Spirit, and the fulfillment of prophecies, we must come to terms with the existence of evil. The second week of Advent is about peace and preparation, and in this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses how we can have peace and be prepared for our God-given assignments, even when we're surrounded by expressions of evil. Pastor Allen shares the story of Jesus' birth, highlighting the uncertainty each person felt, even as they walked in obedience to God. Our stories will look similar, but we don't need to be overcome with fear or anxiety. As we practice obedience, Jesus promises to give us peace—and His peace is everlasting.
God's movements can bring discontinuity, discomfort, or hardship—but they also result in extraordinary outcomes. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses what it looks like when God moves in the earth and why choosing to hope in the Lord is essential. Afterall, hope (the theme of the first week of the Advent season) is about the future. Our futures may look tenuous, and we may have misplaced or outright abandoned our hope—but when we choose to reject despair, and hope in God's faithfulness and trustworthiness, we can find a joy that lasts even in the midst of sorrow.
After feeling disappointed by someone or something we trusted in, how can we know where to place our hope? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses hope, the topic of the first week of Advent, and how we can be certain that God is trustworthy. He teaches about the importance of guarding our hearts and practicing patience through the discomfort of hardship. Suffering will come to all of us because expressions of evil in our world are real, but the Bible teaches that even through difficult seasons, we can rejoice. We find everlasting joy and peace when we place our hope in the Lord!
Discontentment may try to arise as you begin this year's holiday celebrations, but let's aim to cultivate thankfulness. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses five ways we can practice gratitude this Thanksgiving season in obedience to God and His Word. He shares biblical methods of expressing gratitude to God, fostering thankfulness for the blessings in our lives, repenting of ungratefulness, being thankful in spite of the hardships we face, and living humbly in service and generosity to those around us. The discipline of a grateful attitude instead of a grumbling one will bless us this holiday season.
Life can be demanding, especially during the holidays. Instead of focusing on things to complain or be anxious about, God asks us to shift our perspectives and choose a different outlook instead. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the importance of fostering an attitude of thankfulness. He shares activities for the three days leading up to Thanksgiving to help us refocus our minds and hearts on the Lord and His many blessings in our lives. Our daily stressors and difficulties are real—but God is more powerful than any of them.
The Church in our nation is at a point where only God's intervention can change our future. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses preparing ourselves and welcoming God to do something new in His Church. The Bible tells us we shouldn't just expect the same things we've seen the Lord do before; instead, we should seek Him and look forward to something better. Pastor Allen draws from the stories of men like Daniel, David, and Peter to demonstrate that what we anticipate is rarely what God has in store—in fact, He has plans far beyond our understanding. To overcome evil and further the Lord's Kingdom, are we ready for Him to do something we've never seen before?
When God moves, we can find ourselves in uncomfortable situations; it's often the nature of the assignment. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the theme of the first week of Advent—hope—and how it can help us overcome fear and discomfort. He shares the stories of those involved with and surrounding the birth of Jesus, like Mary and Joseph, Elizabeth and Zechariah, and Anna and Simeon. They all faced situations full of uncertainty and anxiety, but through their obedience, they became a part of the greatest story ever told: when God sent His only Son to Earth to save us. God is moving in our lives today, and even though the changes may not be comfortable at first, pursuing our God-given assignments will lead to a life of purpose and meaning, as we share His perfect hope with a lost world.
We're watching as resistance to God's Kingdom increases and darkness in our nation and around the globe grows bolder—but when we learn to recognize God's character, intentions, and voice, His movement in the earth becomes more visible than the expressions of evil around us. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the figure and spirit of antichrist discussed in the book of Revelation. He offers history about the expressions of the antichrist we've witnessed before, and he shares how we can persevere in the face of growing lawlessness and persecution. We have a choice to make: Will we capitulate to fear and darkness, or will we decide to focus our attention and energy on the triumphant Lion of Judah?
Hardship and troubling times won't come because of political or economic turmoil; these seasons will be driven by the degradation of human character. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses how we can live with peace through frightening times. We see in the Book of Revelation that we will need courage to persevere through persecution, but Pastor Allen reminds us that we can rely on God's judgment, justice, and provision to stand boldly. God has sent us the Holy Spirit as our helper, counselor, and comforter, and through Him, we can fulfill the assignment of the Church: sharing the Good News of God's Kingdom to the ends of the earth.
We should all strive to mature in our faith, but what does that look like? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses what it means to grow up spiritually and truly live out a transformational faith. He teaches that maturity means being responsible and accountable, and he shares biblical and practical advice on how to develop these traits in our daily lives. Practicing politeness and gratitude can change our thoughts and attitudes to align better with Scripture's definition of growth. Maturity won't exempt us from suffering, but it gives us the strength and skills we need to navigate difficult seasons. Our faith is intended to be transformational—not to get our way, but to be changed from the inside out.
Our nation is suffering from ungodly spiritual influences, but we can begin the healing process when we earnestly seek the Lord. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses what happens when we pursue God wholeheartedly. He shares the incredible impacts of fasting and prayer on our relationship with the Lord, on our spiritual growth, and on our nation. Pastor Allen also teaches about gifts that can come only from God, like righteousness and truth. Lawlessness and demonic influence may be increasing, but our Lord rewards those who honestly and unreservedly seek after Him.
Seeking God begins with a personal and deliberate choice, and it results in lifechanging responses from the Lord. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses pursuing the Lord through fasting and prayer. He draws from the lives of Daniel and other spiritual leaders in the Bible to teach how to fast, what sacrifice and self-discipline look like, and how the Lord is willing to respond when we humble ourselves before Him. Evil is rearing its head with the rise of lawlessness in our nation, but with God's power and authority it will be overcome. Our Lord writes new destinies for us when we seek His face.
Following Christ shouldn't make us passive—the Lord's intention is to unleash us. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the importance of seeking the Lord and building an intentional relationship with Him. When we purposefully pursue God, He gives us peace in any situation and the boldness to overcome evil. Pastor Allen lays out the biblical guidelines for how we interact with the evil in our world, and he shares what it looks like on a practical level to strive for greater knowledge of God. Others may ask us why we should seek the Lord, but we can know with confidence that it's the most worthy pursuit for our lives.
It's become fashionable to diminish our faith, but compromise is destructive. We are meant to be warriors for God's Kingdom. In this interview, Pastor Allen Jackson talks with Lieutenant General William G. "Jerry" Boykin, a retired Delta Force veteran, about being courageous and steadfast in our faith, even amidst difficult, life-threatening, and hostile situations. General Boykin reflects on his 36 years in the military and beyond, telling miraculous stories of God's protection and reassuring us that God will never leave us nor forsake us. He also offers encouragement for fathers, intercessors, and anyone struggling with the temptation to capitulate their faith. "You need to know what your values are. You need to know what you believe in. You need to know what you're willing to sacrifice for, what you're willing to even die for," General Boykin said. "But you need to know why you believe it."
The Bible says we're going to need strength and effort to follow the Lord. In fact, the greatest demands of our lives will be attached to our faith. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses how we can step up and shape culture with our allegiance to Jesus Christ. It begins with intentional spiritual growth and discipline—often uncomfortable, but necessary. Pastor Allen shares the importance of influencing the next generation to practice godliness, and he speaks on the biblical reasons Christians should support the Jewish people. There's a lot of pushback in the culture regarding those two issues, but God is shaking the earth, revealing Himself as the only steady foundation. We can trust that He will restore His people.
We see so much demonic disruption and expressions of evil in the world, but God is moving in the earth. We don't want to miss it! In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the shaking we feel in our nation and around the globe. What started with COVID has progressed through events like the October 7 attack in Israel and the assassination of Charlie Kirk. These events reveal the weaknesses of things we once placed our trust in. Pastor Allen shares how these tremors point to the unshakeable Kingdom of God, and he teaches about how to impact the next generations for our Lord. He pulls from the lives of Apostles Peter and Paul to demonstrate the biblical foundation for our assignment to change culture. The Church can't just be about sermons anymore—it's about living our lives for Christ.
We shouldn't have to apologize for taking our faith into the public square. It's not the only worldview in the public arena, and we have every right to live out our faith intentionally. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the need for us to stop hiding our Christian identity and instead shine the light of God's Kingdom purposefully in our homes and communities. We are responsible for instilling our biblical values and morals in the next generation, and that begins at our kitchen tables. It won't be easy. We will face pushback and hardship, but most things worth doing require discomfort and effort. Let's determine to do the difficult thing in pursuit of God.
When we practice hospitality like God directs us to, He can change the course of history. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses how we can shape culture by opening our homes and being receptive to God's instruction. He shares from the history of the early Church and how apostles like Peter and Paul practiced hospitality in ways that furthered God's mission in the earth. Pastor Allen also relates the history of World Outreach, starting with his own family's willingness to open their home to gathering, and he tells stories from the life of Corrie ten Boom, whose family's hospitality saved over 800 lives during World War II. It's rarely convenient to share your kitchen table with the community, but by practicing hospitality, we join with God in extending His Kingdom.
It's not always popular to stand for the truth, but are we willing to be voices for the Jewish people and the nation of Israel anyway? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the heritage of faith we inherited from the Jewish people. God has not and will not reject them, and it's from them we receive our Messiah, Jesus. As World Outreach Church joins with the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews to commemorate the October 7 attacks, Pastor Allen shares practical steps we can take to show support and mercy for Israel. God is shaking the earth, and we want to move with Him.
The same spirit that hates the Jewish people hates all of God's children—including us. It's an important time to use our voices for the people of Israel. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the events of October 7, 2023, alongside Colonel Keith Isaacson, the Director of Security for part of the attacked region in Southern Israel. Isaacson tells of his first-hand experience of the atrocities that took place, but he also shares hope for the rebuilding, restoration, and renewal of the communities in the area. Then, Pastor Allen teaches on God's relationship with the Jewish people. He has not abandoned nor replaced them, and we should continually pray that they recognize their Savior.
We don't have the power to transform the culture we live in, but we do have the power to be obedient to God. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses Satan's responses to God's movements. In the Old Testament book of 2 Chronicles, we read about King Hezekiah's obedience to the Lord, which brought about both a renewal of his culture and pushback, hardship, and threats from the enemy. However, as Pastor Allen shows, God is always faithful to intervene when we choose His ways. Like King Hezekiah, we will experience backlash when we live for Jesus—but if we will choose obedience to God in an unrelenting, courageous way, God will do what we can't: transform our culture.
To foster the best outcomes for our children and families, we need to shape culture, not be shaped by it. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the role families play in engaging the culture for God's Kingdom. He shares the biblical, God-given design for marriage, roles of spouses, and children. To give guidance on how to be a culture-changer, Pastor Allen also talks about King Hezekiah as a model for us. Deception is rampant in media, and it's hard to know what to trust, but we can start at our kitchen tables by encouraging our families to lean into God's Truth.
Ignoring the problems in our culture won't make them go away. Instead, we need to ask God to move in our homes and communities and be ready to respond to His Holy Spirit. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the increasing lawlessness in our nation—and the growing movement to turn our hearts back to God that we're seeing arise from the young people. He teaches about King Hezekiah, who had an assignment to change the culture in his lifetime, and he shares some lessons we can learn from this Old Testament leader about how to invite God to shape hearts. People are waking up to the reality of a biblical worldview, and we can be a part of what God is doing!
Our nation is at a pivot point, and the outcome of this season largely depends on our responses to the Lord. Are we willing to suffer for the gospel of Jesus? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the persecution of Christ-followers and how we can respond to the hardships we will face. He teaches from the lives of apostles like Peter, Paul, John, and Silas—as well as recent Christian martyr Charlie Kirk—to share the importance of rejoicing through suffering. Consequences exist for living our faith publicly, but it is an incredible blessing to be counted worthy to suffer for Christ's name.
We are finite creatures serving an infinite God, so we must keep learning and growing. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the need for a spiritual understanding of God's movements in the earth. We heard from speakers including Pastor John Amanchukwu, Pastor Rob McCoy, Eric Metaxas, and others during the 2025 Culture & Christianity Conference, and Pastor Allen shares some takeaways from their messages. Holiness and courage must take precedence over our happiness and comfort, and we must renew and deepen our respect for the Lord. Christianity demands of us a willingness to sacrifice our lives—so will we say to the Lord, "I'll follow you"?
Culture shouldn't shape the Church—we should shape culture. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses some key lessons from the 2025 Culture & Christianity Conference. God is moving in the earth and in His people, and we want to be a part. That means having the courage to share the truth with those around us and bringing our faith into the public sphere. Pastor Allen shares the importance of honesty in moments like the ones we're living through now, as well as the reality that we will face opposition. Let's pray for God to give us the vision to recognize His work and assignments as we move forward with boldness for His Kingdom!
The media is filled with contradictory information about the conflict in the Middle East. How can we know what's true? In this interview, Pastor Allen Jackson talks with Ronnie Simon, a Jewish historian and guide, about the battles raging today. Ronnie shares the history of Israel, Gaza, and Palestine, as well as the truth about the terrorist organization Hamas. He deconstructs the claims the media make, like accusations of genocide and ethnic cleansing. He also shares some good news from Israel about the success of their desalination plants and their dedication to rescuing every hostage. "It's an important Jewish principle: You don't leave anybody behind," Ronnie said. "You do whatever you can to bring everybody home. As long as it will take, we will not spare any effort." Let's persist in praying for the peace of Jerusalem.
Godliness always brings a response. That response won't always be applause, but we need to choose godliness anyway. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses spiritual growth and the cost of following Jesus wholeheartedly. With the recent assassination of Charlie Kirk, it's tempting to let anxiety and worry about evil in our nation take hold—but the Lion of the tribe of Judah has already overcome all of Satan's plans. We've let a lukewarm Christianity settle in our communities for a while now, but we can change. At a time when it may feel easier or safer to stay quiet, one of the most important things we can do is acknowledge the authority of Jesus in public.
How do we respond when threats against our faith become so public and antagonizing, and when rhetoric in the media is so divisive and hate-filled? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the Church in the United States and the need for courage and repentance. We watched a bold move from Satan when Charlie Kirk was assassinated, leaving many of us anxious and confused. Pastor Allen reminds us that we don't need to be afraid—God has equipped us to resist evil. He shares stories from the life of leaders like David and Peter, who overcame threats and persecution through the power of the Holy Spirit. Now more than ever before, it's time for us to be courageous for the Lord.
There are more expressions of the goodness, mercy, and power of God than expressions of evil in the earth today. Let's determine to focus on the Lord, especially in the face of tragedy and suffering. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson addresses the loss of Charlie Kirk, a bold Christian, political activist, and the co-founder of Turning Point USA. Pastor Allen shares biblical advice on dealing with death and building an awareness of the Holy Spirit. We have been called to be overcomers, and like the apostles Peter and John in Acts, chapter 4, we can have the courage to fight these spiritual battles when we rely on the Holy Spirit for strength. Our Lord still does miracles, and He has the wisdom and authority to transform expressions of Satan's evil into glory for His everlasting Kingdom.
No matter what our daily routines look like, our goal should be to please God in every way possible. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses a choice we face every day: Do we intentionally cooperate with the Holy Spirit? His values are different than ours, so it will require change on our part, but we receive a priceless gift in return—salvation out of a kingdom of darkness and adoption into God's Kingdom of light. When we cooperate with the Holy Spirit, He will enable us to accomplish great things for the Kingdom, and Pastor Allen shares stories of miracles and spiritual events people experience today. God has redeemed us, and He wants to equip us for His good works!
How do you know when God is moving amongst His people? You'll see repentance, humility, and transformed hearts. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses God's movement and involvement in our lives. He teaches from the book of Acts to demonstrate the power, glory, and righteousness of God and how the world's values fail to align with the Lord's. It isn't just a battle over law and order—there's a spiritual conflict unfolding. We're watching as morality continues to degrade, but there is hope! When we stand firm in our faith and trust the Holy Spirit to guide us in His perfect plans, God will bring us out of the darkness and into His light.
The culture is shifting, and the season has changed. It can be agitating and frightening, but it means something else, too: Jesus' return is drawing closer. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses how we can be prepared for our Lord's return. The Bible tells us that deception and conflict, both physical and spiritual, will increase as the End of the Age approaches. Pastor Allen shows how we see this in our world today, then he shares God's instructions for standing firm. Living in the truth of God's Word and relying on His wisdom and peace will be essential. We've been asked to overcome a number of daunting things—our own carnal desires, evil, Satan's kingdom—but God hasn't left us alone. We can trust in the Lion of Judah.
It can be easy to say, "God, I believe You will deliver me from hardship." However, what we should learn to say is, "Whether I see Your deliverance come the way I want it to or not, I will not stop worshiping You." In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses depending on God and trusting in His timing. He teaches from the Old Testament book of 2 Kings to demonstrate our need for a deeper understanding of God's character. We can trust that He is sovereign, holy, and righteous, so when we face discouragement, we know that our God gives us the power to overcome. God has given each of us enough faith to begin His work—and He will help us finish.
Through Jesus, the Lion of Judah, we have been given authority over Satan and the kingdom of darkness. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson helps us understand our identity in God's Kingdom. We've been appointed as ambassadors; we're representatives with assignments to complete for the Lord. Pastor Allen shares what it means to be a "stranger in the world," and he teaches the importance of standing firm against our sinful desires. God has invited us into His family as His children, and through His love, mercy, and power, we can overcome the enemy.
There are two lions stalking the earth with opposite objectives, but they don't have equal power. Jesus has won total, complete, eternal, irreversible victory over Satan and the kingdom of darkness. The Lion of Judah has triumphed! In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the spiritual conflict raging in the earth and how we can stand firm against the enemy by staying close to the Lion of Judah. We are not powerless or called to be spectators in this fight. We are invited to join the triumphal procession God has planned. Pastor Allen explains that the key to resisting the enemy and spending time in the presence of the Lion of Judah is praise, worship, and yielding our whole person to Jesus Christ—our strength, our intellect, our resources, our calendar, and our priorities. When we worship, it reframes our perception of ourselves and God, strengthening us to stand immovable and triumphant in our faith—even when we're confronted with the roar of the lion.
The Bible says we are God's people and the sheep of His pasture, and the enemy is like a lion prowling the earth seeking whom he may devour. But there is another Lion who holds all power: Jesus Christ. Without Him, we are inadequate to face the threat of the enemy. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson invites us toward a new position in our faith—to believe that obedience and service to God will empower us to stand firm, not only for the transformation of our hearts but the transformation of nations. Politicians and earthly powers cannot resolve our problems. If the Church stays silent amid evil, we abandon our world to destructive influences and chaos. We need to stand with the Lion of the tribe of Judah.
Many false versions of the gospel are flourishing in the Church right now—what are they, and how can we recognize them? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the symptoms of widespread deception, distortion, and manipulation happening under the umbrella of "faith" today. He warns us to live with an awareness of messages that pervert the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ to fit a popular worldview, agenda, or cultural fad. We learn from Peter and Paul that this is not a new problem; it's an age-old issue. To remain grounded in the Truth, we need to stay close to our Shepherd, the Lion of the tribe of Judah.
It's easy to hold onto bitterness and resentment when we feel rejected, so why does God ask us to forgive? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses five steps we can take to heal from rejection: Recognize when we experience rejection, accept Jesus as the example, let go of our bitterness, receive and believe God's provision, and accept ourselves. Pastor Allen speaks about how emotions and spiritual forces try to influence us, but following God's design for relationships brings spiritual freedom. We don't have to be defined by our pain—God values us, and He has already made provision to accept us into His family.
Rejection and disappointment will wound us all, so how can we overcome the pain they bring? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the remedy for rejection found in Jesus. He shares the story of Joseph and his family, and how hurtful situations can affect people differently. Pastor Allen also shows how, no matter what circumstance we face, Jesus has provided the acceptance we seek. He teaches about the Divine Exchange, where Jesus traded his perfect holiness for our sins and hurts. Because of Jesus' sacrifice on the cross, we have been promised joy, honor, and glory in the midst of shame and rejection—and we can live in the freedom that provides.
We can't eliminate rejection from our lives, but it doesn't have the power to keep us from God's best. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses rejection, its causes, and God's acceptance. Leaders like David, Moses, and our Lord Jesus all faced immense rejection in their lifetimes, and Pastor Allen speaks about how God helped each of them overcome. He also shares a few common causes of rejection: broken families, betrayal, and shame. While each of us will be touched by rejection in our lives, we don't have to live in its bondage. We can find freedom through our acceptance into God's Kingdom and His family.
We often think following God should be easy, but He frequently calls us to places, positions, and expressions of faith that can lead to conflict. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses this fact by offering five lessons we can learn from the life of King David. Many times, following God's direction can lead to division or spiritual conflict, but when we are diligent to keep following God's plans for our lives, He will always provide what we need. Every season comes with struggles, and as we continually learn about God and His Kingdom, we become better equipped to overcome hardships and rejection. Cooperating with God for His purposes is the greatest opportunity we've been given, so let's listen and obey Him—even when it leads to adversity.
It's not often talked about in our culture today, but we can experience both God's intervention in our lives and the consequences of our sin. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the anointing of King Saul over Israel in the book of 1 Samuel. He shares how the Israelites chose complaints over godliness, and how Samuel was obedient to the Lord even through rejection. The history of Israel teaches us many lessons, and in this chapter, we get to reflect on the condition of our hearts—so let's practice repentance and strive to honor God daily.
Jesus said, "My sheep hear My voice." One of the most essential skills we can cultivate is knowing God's voice and listening to Him. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the choice each generation has to align with God and learn to listen. Pastor Allen teaches from the book of 1 Samuel, where he shares lessons in topics like parenting, thankfulness, listening, and rejection. He gives us five steps we can begin to implement today to grow our listening skills, and we learn from the people of Israel the importance of joy over complaining. We each have a choice to make. Will we choose to know God?
God leads His people into a land of His promises. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses how we can live under the blessings of God. Our Lord made covenants with His people, and under those covenants we have complete, total, and entire provision. Pastor Allen teaches the importance of obedience and forming a true relationship with Christ so we can live in His promises. The things of this world that catch our attention may seem most significant, but everything pales in comparison with knowing God.
Are we aware that we're serving someone every day—God, ourselves, or the kingdom of darkness? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses serving the Lord. Jesus calls us to be servant leaders for Him, and He demonstrates what that looks like in the Gospels. Pastor Allen teaches five characteristics of servants: surrendering our wills, practicing contentment, being entrusted with authority, understanding the limits of authority, and knowing who we are serving. We've been offered the highest invitation of our lives. Are we willing to serve the King?
Everything we have is a blessing from God, and how we handle our resources has a spiritual impact. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses how to be a good steward of our resources, gifts, and talents. He shares some of the Bible's promises surrounding money, and he corrects three common misconceptions about wealth and Christianity—that it's unspiritual to be rich, everyone should share equally, and prosperity is an indicator of holiness. God gives each of us gifts and abilities, and we have the opportunity to use them to advance His Kingdom!
Biblical peace is not an absence of hardship; it's finding peace in Jesus, no matter what we face. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses God's promised peace: peace with our Lord, ourselves, and each other. He shares five steps to applying biblical peace to our lives, drawing encouragement from the psalmists, prophets, and apostles. God tells us we can overcome fear, anxiety, and worry when we turn our eyes and hearts to Him—because nothing we face is more powerful than His peace.
God's promises enable us to live a God-designed life. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses how to inherit the promises of God. It starts with intending to honor Him as Lord of our lives—then choosing to listen to Him and obey His Word. Pastor Allen shares the importance of faith, patience, and cooperation in fostering a strong relationship with Jesus—one that helps us overcome any trials and hardships we face. God calls us to be overcomers, and He will give us the resources we need when we put our trust in Him.
God's provision is through His promises, and those promises are our inheritance. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses what it looks like to be part of God's Kingdom in the earth. God has a plan and a purpose for each of us, and when we determine to live according to His will, He will provide for us every step of the way. Pastor Allen teaches about the biblical leader Joshua and the hardships he endured through faith, as well as New Testament examples of perseverance and trust in the Lord. Fulfilling our purpose in God's Kingdom will require faith, trust, and endurance—but it's the most important thing we will ever do.
Our thoughts impact our words, and our words can define our reality. How can we ensure our reality reflects growing spiritually in the Lord? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson shares two behaviors the Bible tells us are essential for growing: giving thanks to God and guarding our hearts. Gratitude starts in our thoughts, and Pastor Allen teaches about the benefits of thankfulness versus complaining. He shares stories of the Apostle Paul, Silas, Jonah, and Job to demonstrate the power of praise, even in discouraging and frightening situations. Let's be willing to engage in behaviors that allow God to bring new growth into our lives!
God's Spirit can bring us lasting and complete peace, no matter the circumstances. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the need for gratitude in our daily lives. When we practice thankfulness to God for His perfect character and provision, He gives us His peace—a peace that surpasses understanding. Pastor Allen teaches about the biblical foundation for a gratitude that dispels anxiety, as well as how to live out this biblical idea. Additionally, he shares about the consequences of ungratefulness we see throughout the Bible. We can be secure in God's peace when we give expression to thankfulness.
We have a heritage of faith, but we're not just studying history. God has called us to this time and place to complete an assignment. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the United States' Christian beginnings and the obligation we have to uphold godly ideals in our culture today. Pastor Allen shares about Elijah's and Jesus' difficult assignments—and how they overcame opposition with God's strength. We all have a sphere of influence and a mission from the Lord, so let's work at recognizing His movement and saying yes to His invitations!
We're not just watching history—we're living in the middle of God's unfolding purposes. In this message, Pastor Allen Jackson calls us to wake up, speak up, and stand with bold faith. As he refers to Scripture from throughout the Bible, Pastor Allen teaches if you reject the Truth and you follow evil, you will face a God of wrath and anger. That's not a threat; it's awareness (Romans 2:8). As the nations rage and Israel takes center stage, we must understand our role as God's people in this unique moment. It's time to embrace responsibility, reject passivity, and align with God's eternal promises. He's moving—let's not miss it.

Understanding the conflict between Israel and Iran requires us to look at it from a biblical perspective—not a geopolitical one. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the current struggle between Israel and Iran, and what the Bible has to say about it. He offers insight on the history of the Middle East and the nation of Israel, illuminating the pattern of antisemitism we've watched for millennia. He also shares how we can respond to God shaking the earth. God will keep His covenant with His chosen people, and as Christ-followers, we need a deeper level of understanding of the significance of Israel and the Jewish people. God promises to bless those who bless Israel, so let's continue to pray for the peace of Jerusalem.

We all lead our lives under authority, but we must be conscious of which authority we're choosing. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses how our lives should look under authority of the King, drawing from biblical examples including Jonah, Moses, and Abraham. We all need the humility to say, "I am under the authority of the King. I have raised my hand, and I'm going to run my race, complete my course, and I will not stop. In the name of Jesus, I will finish triumphantly!" Living a life fully under God's authority will bring freedom, but it also requires obedience to Him and a heart change.

Christ-followers need clarity about who we serve and who our boss is—because if we're honest, many of us act as our own boss. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses spiritual authority and how where we place our allegiance and trust impacts every part of our lives. It influences our future more than nationality, education, or genetics. We must decide who our boss is and understand that refusing to yield to God's authority is choosing rebellion. The God we worship asks us to love Him with undivided hearts. When we submit to Him as the true authority and make Jesus Lord over our lives, hope and healing come.

The greatest authority and power available to any person is a relationship with Almighty God. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson reminds us that true authority comes from God, and He requires us to submit to His will. Using Jesus as the ultimate model, Pastor Allen highlights Christ's obedience and humility—even unto death—as the foundation of His divine authority. We live in a culture that resists authority, and rejecting God's authority will continue to invite judgment and diminish the Church's influence in the world. But when Christ-followers choose to recognize God as the ultimate Boss and decide to follow Him, lives are changed—including our own!

When we invite God into our lives and ask Him to bring healing, we're doing something that is completely consistent with the character of God. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses God's desire for our spiritual and physical well-being, showing us that healing is woven into God's design and Scripture supports this. We can trust in God's plan and His ability to restore us—not just for eternity, but for today.

Drawing from Scripture and real-world examples, Pastor Allen urges us to become people of prayer—anchored in humility, repentance, and hope. He provides several proclamations and prayers to use on our own and with others on the National Day of Prayer and beyond.

We serve God best when we have more confidence in Him than the things that frighten us. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the despair and hopelessness Jesus' friends experienced on Easter, how they overcame that discouragement—and how we can, too. Apostles Thomas and Peter both stumbled in their faith after years of walking with Jesus, but He didn't let them sit in their shame. Pastor Allen shows how Jesus took His friends' burdens and replaced them with hope and courage, and he invites us to the same relationship with our Savior. The Church in the earth needs to be reawakened to the holiness of God, and that begins with us deciding to honor Him with our lives.

Just like all those involved in the Easter story, we've been given the opportunity to participate with Jesus in His Kingdom. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses four characters involved with Jesus' trial and crucifixion who missed the invitation to a better future: the high priest Caiaphas, Pontius Pilate, Judas Iscariot, and the Roman soldiers. They all believed something else, like money, power, or status, was more important than God's invitation. We have the same choice to make. Will we be deceived by the world, or will we have the courage to answer Jesus' call on our lives?

Even though Jesus told his followers exactly what was going to happen, they were still shocked to find His tomb empty on Easter morning. What are we misinterpreting about events in the earth today? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the disciples' misunderstanding at Jesus' empty grave, the confusion present in the Church today, and three truths we can rely on when things get disorienting. He shares these foundational ideas: Jesus is unique, the grace and mercy of the gospel lead us to repentance, and we have been forgiven. Our culture is becoming increasingly deceptive, but God is moving like never before—and we can trust in Him!

Jesus came to Jerusalem less than a week before His crucifixion with a purpose: to give His people clarity and prepare them for the season ahead. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses Jesus' time in Jerusalem before His death and resurrection. He teaches from the Gospels of Matthew and Luke, walking through the opposition Jesus faced from the religious elite and the instructions He left for His followers on awareness and generosity. Pastor Allen also shares Jesus' teaching on avoiding the strangling love of money that can take root in our hearts. Like Jesus' disciples in the first century, we are called to stay alert and be prepared for Jesus' return, working diligently in the assignments He has given us and furthering our Lord's Kingdom in the earth.

When Jesus entered Jerusalem triumphantly on Palm Sunday—the Sunday before His crucifixion—there were three groups of people reacting to His arrival: the disciples, the crowd, and the adversaries. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses Palm Sunday from Matthew, Luke, and John's individual perspectives. He teaches about the difference between each group of people's reaction to Jesus' ministry. The disciples were all-in for the Lord. The crowds were eager to support when it was easy, but their minds could be swayed. The opposing people, the religious leaders in Jerusalem, wanted Jesus gone. These groups still exist today, and we need to decide how we'll respond to Jesus. Like those on the first Palm Sunday, let's determine to welcome Him into our towns, homes, and lives.

God wants to welcome us into His family, and that's the best invitation we could ever receive.

He walks us through ten promises we inherit, like being God's friend, receiving righteousness, and being chosen by our Lord. He also shares about the importance of gratitude and knowing God's character. Our circumstances can be difficult, and evil touches each of our lives, but the Creator of Heaven and Earth tells us He has given us everything we need for life and godliness, and He will be faithful to provide.

If we choose God's truth, He will change the destiny of nations. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the character of God. He teaches from Scripture that God delights in being merciful because His mercy often leads us to a change of heart and behavior. God also is willing to bring judgment on those who are routinely disobedient to His Word. Our culture is suffering because of our lack of understanding about God, and Pastor Allen walks through seven biblical steps we can take to find knowledge of Him. To overcome fear and stand boldly for our beliefs, we must rely on God for our strength and wisdom.

The Church is called to stand watch over our communities and be the conscience of our cultures. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses what it means to be a watchman in the Kingdom of God. God, in His authority, has laid boundaries for how to live that help us to be healthy, holy, and at peace with Him. Pastor Allen shares scriptures on the benefits of obedience, as well as the consequences of disobedience. He also teaches on fasting and prayer and the importance of seeking God above all. To take up our assignment as watchmen and advocate for our biblical worldview will require the right attitude, so let's determine to pursue God more each day.

When God is doing something new, it requires of us elasticity—a willingness to change. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses our role in breakthroughs.

By examining the history of Israel and Judah in the books of 1 Kings, 2 Kings, and Judges, we see the impact of God's judgment on His disobedient people: He allowed looting by their enemies and exile from their homeland. Pastor Allen argues that America is experiencing something similar, and the consequences are reflected in our nation's cultural trends and current events.

If we choose to follow God, we will face discomfort and rejection—but will we overcome that so we can boldly share the gospel in a world ripe for harvest?

Life is more difficult than we would like it to be. It comes with challenges we didn't imagine, decisions we would prefer not to face, and sometimes rejection and resistance because of our alignment with Jesus. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses Jesus' time spent in synagogues. In the Gospel of Luke, we see a pattern emerge as Jesus travels from town to town spreading His message: He faces much resistance and rejection, but He remains bold in the face of persecution. From Luke's Gospel, Pastor Allen shows us what we can expect today as we follow Jesus. Are we ready to have a confrontational faith?

Our generation is at a cultural crossroads, and our future will be determined by what we decide to do. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses passages in the Gospel of Luke where we find Jesus at the Temple, as well as some important points of Second Temple history. Some of the most notable events in Jesus' ministry took place at the Temple, and He had a crucial message for His generation. Pastor Allen shows how that message applies to our generation as he offers a biblical perspective on our current cultural climate and the choice we face. Will we choose humility and repentance, or pride and indifference? The first option leads to God's mercy, while the other will bring His judgment.

Jesus gave His followers important assignments, but He didn't leave them unequipped. His power and authority are available to us, if we decide to commit to following Him. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses discipleship, as demonstrated in the Gospel of Luke. The twelve disciples didn't always have the complete picture or understand entirely what Jesus was trying to tell them—but that didn't stop Jesus from trusting them with the future of His Church. Jesus' responses to them teach us about what discipleship should look like, even today. There's a cost that comes with discipleship—but there's a great reward, too: We surrender the things that fade in exchange for eternity with our Lord.

"Disaster on God's people is disaster on God's people, and Jews and Christians are in this together," Yael Eckstein said. Join Pastor Allen Jackson for an interview with Eckstein, President of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews (IFCJ), as we remember those impacted by the October 7 attacks in Israel. Eckstein discusses the work the IFCJ is doing to provide aid, relief, and hope for those affected by the war. She shares how the prayers and support of Christians in America has been encouraging and urges us to continue praying for the peace of Israel. This interview was a part of the Flags of Fellowship event, hosted by IFCJ, Trinity Broadcasting Network, and hundreds of churches across the United States, including World Outreach Church.

How can we learn to hear God when He speaks to us? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson explores what the Gospel of Luke has to say about listening to God's direction over the noise of the world. He discusses the importance of prayer, Bible reading, obedience, and pursuing relationships with other Christ-followers. He also shares the contrast found between a few key miracle stories in Luke; they can help us understand how God's instruction may differ from what culture tells us to do.

In the American Church, we love to study God's Word and talk about our faith theoretically—but sometimes we struggle to apply its instruction in our lives. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the Gospel of Luke, teaching about the reality of spiritual forces in our world and showing the contrast between those who rejected Jesus' message and those who accepted it. We have that choice to make, too; will we further shy away from sharing God's Truth, or will we be people who are obedient to Scripture, even in the face of rejection?

If we want to see change in our culture, it doesn't start with politicians; it starts with us. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the Gospel of Luke and what it has to say about rejection versus obedience. Throughout this Gospel, we watch as religious people like the Pharisees reject Jesus and His teachings, while people we wouldn't expect choose to believe and obey what He says. Pastor Allen confirms that the Church needs to wake up, be active in our communities, and obey what the Bible instructs us to do—even when it means rejection. It's worth it, because God promises to bless us for our obedience to Him.

Since rejection was very much a part of Jesus' life, we shouldn't be surprised when we find it to be a part of our lives, too. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the varied responses we see to Jesus' ministry in the Gospel of Luke. He faced a lot of opposition, but life-changing transformation was available to those who chose to believe and obey what He said. In Luke, Jesus acknowledges the spiritual forces at work in this world, and Pastor Allen shows us how we can apply that understanding to our culture today in areas like schooling, work, and politics. With the help of the Holy Spirit, we can overcome the rejection in our lives so the plans and purposes of God can be fulfilled.

While we can celebrate the Christian heritage of our nation, we must acknowledge the current momentum of our culture is pointed away from obedience to God. This change isn't driven just by physical forces in our world, either. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the spiritual conflict taking place throughout our culture. He teaches from the Gospel of Luke to illustrate the source of resistance, dark forces, and wickedness we experience all around us, especially as we work to be obedient to God. Pastor Allen informs us about some of Satan's tactics he uses to attempt to lead us away from God, and he shares with us two opposing responses to Jesus' ministry found in Luke. Which side do we want to be on—rejecting Jesus, or choosing obedience to what He says?

Will we have the courage to take God's Truth into our culture, even in the face of backlash and criticism? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson explores what the Gospel of Luke says about John the Baptist. He had an uncomfortable message to share with his community, and he met much resistance; however, John didn't back down, and we shouldn't, either. Pastor Allen draws from the book of Luke to teach about the reality of spiritual forces in our world and our need to rely on God, especially as our culture seems to drift farther and farther from Him. The Church has a role to play in the earth, and it's time we stand up for our faith and invite God to direct the future of our nations.

We tend to think more information would be helpful when we're deciding to respond to God's call—but actually, what's most helpful is obedience and a willingness to believe. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the opening chapters of the Gospel of Luke. In them, he shares with us different accounts of belief and obedience, including the stories of Zechariah, Mary and Joseph, Simeon, and others, and the results of their decisions to trust or doubt God. Pastor Allen shows how these stories—and the lessons they teach—connect with our culture today. God is moving, and being in tune with his Spirit is vital in today's confusing world. With the help of the Holy Spirit, we can thrive by practicing God-honoring obedience and belief.

To what extent do we let the Word of God define our day-to-day lives? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses how we can lose our Christian traditions and ideas over the course of generations, if we don't prioritize them in our lives now. One of the most important aspects of our faith that we see drifting away today is worship—reverent, biblical, God-honoring worship. Pastor Allen teaches about false gospels that have invaded the Church, making many into civic clubs instead of places where people can earnestly seek God and His truth. True praise starts with our attitudes toward the things of God. Worship begins as a posture within our hearts, inviting the presence and power of Almighty God into every aspect of our lives.

Something is happening in our world that can't be fully understood in terms of nation-states, politics, and economies. There's another force—a spiritual conflict—at work in the earth. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses spiritual realms and spiritual forces that affect us daily. He draws from the teachings of the Apostle Paul in the book of Ephesians to illustrate how we need to lean on God as our Protector in these uncertain times.

We're told the most secure thing we can have is silver or gold, but our true stability comes from strengthening our faith in Jesus. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the importance of generosity. He also talks about the reality of God's faithful provision as we increasingly learn to trust Him with our resources. God calls us to plant seeds—being generous with our time, resources, and attention—as an expression of hope and confidence in His ability to provide. We will see a harvest as we do so. It's not about the amount we give, but cultivating a heart that's willing to give sacrificially.

What's the best way to prepare for the uncertain future ahead of us? Trust God with our resources! In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson talks about the biblical principles surrounding the money, resources, and possessions God has entrusted to us. He discusses the "Financial Ten Commandments"—biblical teachings about money, tithes and offerings, working, debt, contentment, and generosity. He also shows how these ideas connect with our current culture and economy. If we want to secure our futures, both on Earth and in Heaven, we need to depend on God as our Provider.

The Devil will try to convince us we were disqualified from God's purposes by circumstances that are completely beyond our control. But in this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the lives of two of Israel's kings, David and Solomon, to illustrate how the circumstances of our births don't define the impact our lives can have for the Kingdom of God.

It doesn't matter where we were born, what family we come from, or how many resources we have—we want to be known as a generation that pleases God.

Our generation is presiding over one of the most precipitous declines of Christian influence in the history of the Church—but we can change that. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses our need for repentance, or truly turning away from our sins. He teaches about the spreading influence of paganism and false gospels in our culture, such as Pelagianism and the gospel of cheap grace. Pastor Allen reads from Matthew, Luke, and other books to emphasize upholding a biblical definition of marriage and the importance of protecting children.

Resentment is a dangerous filter to view the world through. It can grow into anger, hatred, bitterness, and all sorts of destructive things—but there's an alternative: forgiveness. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the damaging effects of resentment versus the freedom found in forgiveness.

Pastor Allen emboldens us to have the courage to forgive others and to speak out about our faith, even in the face of criticism.

In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the escalating spiritual conflict present in the earth and how we need to respond. He offers insight into false gospels and false churches currently surrounding us, including social gospels, socialist gospels, and universalism.

God is calling forth a new generation of heroes. Will you be one of them?
