Obedience to God has a greater impact on our futures than our education or upbringing does. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the spiritual ramifications of obedience and disobedience.

Across Scripture, we see an overarching story that directly applies to our lives: many challenges we face originate from spiritual forces rather than worldly ones. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the reality of the spiritual dimension and its impact on our lives. Jesus was engaged in conflict with the Devil, so as Christ-followers, we should be aware and prepared for spiritual confl...

There's an easy recipe for becoming God-smart: Pick a verse to meditate on. Tomorrow, pick another one. The next day, pick another one, and keep doing that until God's thoughts begin to shape your thoughts. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson walks through Proverbs, chapter 23. He shares the importance of seeking God and His wisdom, and he demonstrates how to understand and apply Proverbs to our...

There are places where Jesus in us may not be welcome, but that doesn't mean we should stop sharing our faith—instead, we need to reflect Him more fully. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson shares key takeaways from the 2026 Culture & Christianity Conference.

In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the opportunities God gives us to foster a faithful relationship with Him and the responsibility we have to respond to those invitations. The darkening culture around us argues that a Christian worldview is the wrong one, bu...

One of God's gifts to us is free will—the freedom to make our own decisions. So, we can choose belief or unbelief, but God attaches value to our choices. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the power of choosing to believe God and accepting His invitations in our lives. It begins with acknowledging that God has a plan for us, and He will guide us if we choose to yield to His will. Pasto...

In Revelation, Jesus is described as both the Lion of Judah and as a slain lamb. This deliberate paradox helps explain why Jesus is worthy of all our praise. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson teaches on Revelation, chapter 5. He discusses the importance of worship and the value our prayers have—both to us and to God. Pastor Allen also walks through the gift of Jesus' sacrifice and the immense b...

Is our goal to be accepted and approved by the destructive culture around us, or are we willing to let God's wisdom direct our decisions? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the simple truths about the character of God and His Kingdom revealed in the book of Proverbs. One example is that we can only walk in the authority found in God's Word when we first choose to yield to it. Pastor Al...

A fundamental characteristic of being "God smart" is leaning into the things we know wholeheartedly and not spending inordinate effort or energy trying to discern the things we can't know. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses how Proverbs helps us focus on what God wants us to prioritize. As we seek God, it can be tempting to want to uncover "hidden knowledge" or "biblical secrets," but...

Success, by secular standards, can't satisfy us. We need to have higher aspirations than accumulating material wealth, pleasure, or other measures of earthly accomplishment. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses what King Solomon and the book of Proverbs have to say about living a successful life. King Solomon was one of the richest men in history, yet he wrote in Ecclesiastes that all hi...

Our choices deliver outcomes to our lives, and the book of Proverbs shows us the decisions that lead to blessings—and those that lead to curses. So, why wouldn't we choose behaviors that bring God's blessings? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson shares what Proverbs teaches us about abundance and poverty. He discusses the importance of work and generosity, as well as the biblical definition of ab...

What if we could know what decision to make when we're at a crossroads? What if we could know what mistakes not to make? What if we could know the ending at the beginning? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the book of Proverbs, how to read it, and the wisdom and direction we can find inside it. The seasons we're in are frightening, but God gives us guidance for how we can live in His...

A system that rewards everyone the same, regardless of behavior, is not consistent with the teachings of Scripture. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses biblical perspectives on four topics relating to our resources: wealth, pride, generosity, and work. Money isn't morally good or bad, so we need the guidance of God's Word to develop a healthy understanding of how to manage the possessio...

Baptism—a public declaration of faith—can be understood as a spiritual line in the sand where we declare we intend to cooperate with the Lord. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses how we can know God and be at peace with Him. God is sovereign, all-knowing, and all-powerful, and knowing His character should foster respect for Him. Pastor Allen shares how we've all fallen short of God's in...

As our nation's economy struggles and people's love of money intensifies around us, understanding the Lord's will for our resources can sustain us through the chaos. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses God's plan for abundance in our lives. He clarifies the Bible's definition of abundance, and he shares what Scripture has to say about our priorities. Comparison, discontentment, and envy...

When God puts an invitation in front of us, it's not a casual thing—it's a life-altering proposition. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the personal choice we make to accept God's invitations to a better way of living. Participating in His Kingdom is an individual decision, one that requires accountability and produces transformation. Pastor Allen shares about the uniqueness of Jesus...

He teaches specifically on water baptism, its history, and what it symbolizes: repentance, a burial and resurrectio...

The Christian life can be summed up in just two words: follow Jesus. Our relationship with the person of Jesus is more important than anything else, and we should be in dogged pursuit of Him. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses developing a tenacious faith: being courageously determined to pursue God, regardless of our circumstances. He draws from the life of Caleb, whose name means "do...

Jesus is the bridge between the eternal realm of God and the limited existence of humanity. Following Jesus and pursuing science are not mutually exclusive ideas—in fact, they can inform one another. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses how we need to rely on the help and authority of God and His angels to bring light into the darkness and lawlessness of our current culture as we move to...

God values us so much He dispenses angels to help us and established His own Son as King over our lives. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the spiritual dimension that tangibly impacts us every day. Our culture tries to convince us reality is only what we can experience with our five senses, but the Bible tells us there are things beyond our understanding that influence us. Pastor All...

Science and faith are not at odds or in competition with one another. Faith is just as observable as anything else in our natural world. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses spiritual dimensions that affect our journey in time and how our culture's idea of science doesn't contradict anything Scripture reveals to us about reality. Pastor Allen teaches about angels and the roles they play...

The Bible never claims to be a science book. Though there are many things about our world we don't understand, it shouldn't diminish our faith. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses how Christianity and science are more compatible than culture often believes. He also teaches about the existence of angels and the spiritual dimension that impacts our lives. In Scripture, Jesus appears outsi...

Jesus' presence in the first century made evil spirits uncomfortable, and His presence living in us today should do the same thing. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses "dangerous" faith that threatens the spiritual forces of ungodliness in our world and the suffering that comes with courageous faith.
