Allen Jackson Ministries

If the darkness is growing more intense, it's because the light is too dim—so let's turn up the light! In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses what it means to lead with our faith. We need to remember Who we're representing in our day-to-day interactions, conversations, and family or business decisions, and we should boldly invite Jesus into every space we enter. God will overcome the spiritual forces of evil manifesting in our tumultuous culture—but Pastor Allen reminds us we've been called to help. Let's be faithful stewards of what we've been entrusted with and good ambassadors for the Kingdom of Heaven. It's time to be salt and light!

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.
