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.

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.
