Allen Jackson Ministries

We shouldn't be discouraged when the Lord disciplines us. He lays boundaries in our lives because He cares for us and wants us to flourish, so instead of losing heart, let's respond in prayer and thanksgiving. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses what the Bible says about praying and the different kinds of prayers we can offer. As deception increases around us, it's vital to know how to pray—and then to fill each day with invitations for God to be involved. Pastor Allen teaches through the Lord's Prayer, and he shares examples of Jesus' prayer life that we can learn from. Let's strive to be people of prayer, constantly extending invitations to our Lord.

We have been given the authority to invite God into every situation through prayer. It takes compassion and courage, but it's the best way to turn up the light in the darkness. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the spiritual conflict raging in the earth and the power we have through prayer to make a difference in our lives and the lives of those around us. He draws from New Testament stories to teach about the different kinds of prayer and why this is a spiritual weapon we need to know how to wield. When we're feeling anxious, lonely, or overwhelmed with the problems in the world, we can rejoice in knowing our God hears us when we cry out to Him.

When we pray, we bring God's authority, presence, and power into the spiritual battles raging around us—so let's be intentional about our prayers. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the power of praying even very simple prayers to invite God to move in our lives and around the globe. He teaches from Bible passages about King Hezekiah, Peter, and Jesus that demonstrate the difference even a three-word prayer can make and the power our Lord has to save and deliver us. God can do remarkable things for His Kingdom, so inviting Him in through prayer should not be our last resort but our first action.

Sometimes, God is waiting for us to invite Him into our days before He demonstrates His power to bring healing and freedom. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the transformational power of prayer. As the culture around us becomes more hostile to God's truth, we can't step back in fear—we must be assertive and intentional with our faith and with our prayers. Pastor Allen shares biblical examples of times when praying for God's intervention brought otherwise impossible freedom and deliverance. When we go to Him in humble prayer, we too can experience our Lord's mighty power to save!

Understanding who we are in Christ will help us overcome much of the confusion currently saturating our world. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses who Jesus tells us we are—children of God, His friends, and salt and light in the earth. When we belong to Jesus, He becomes our Lord, and we have the great blessing of building a relationship with Him. Pastor Allen shares what each point of our identity as Christians means on a practical level and how we can only find spiritual growth when we're willing to change. We have the most valuable friendship in the universe available to us, so let's humble ourselves and get ready to grow.
