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.

When we receive the backlash that can come from speaking up about our faith, it's easy to think, "Next time, I'll stay quiet." But that's not the choice God calls us to make. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses what to expect when we obey the Lord. He shares about the life of leaders like Moses, Peter, and John the Baptist to illustrate how perseverance through persecution is where we find spiritual growth and deeper faith. The Bible clearly tells us that, even though it's not easy to follow Jesus, the only way we can change ourselves, our communities, and our broken culture is to humble ourselves and walk with the Lord.

How many times have we said "No, thank You" to the Lord when He presents us with an opportunity? We feel inadequate, or weak, or too busy—but God knows what He is doing when He asks us to act. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses Moses, one of the greatest leaders in the Bible, and how he walked in humble obedience to the Lord even when he felt insufficient for the assignment. God moves in our lives when we humble ourselves, and He promises to provide for us when we obey His commands. So, we can trust that in the midst of confusion and change around us, we have the strength and authority to make a difference through Almighty God.

One of the most consistent characteristics of the people of God in the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, is that they listen to God. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson explains how, in order to hear what God is saying to us, we have to know Jesus of Nazareth as King and understand the nature of our position in His Kingdom. He shares that we need the humility to be learners—to have a listening posture and to intentionally invest our strength, our resources, our gifts, and our entire selves as a living sacrifice to our King. As Jesus is lifted up and given our reverence as our Lord, we will experience the presence of the Holy Spirit and hear the voice of our King.

For a handful of generations now, there has been a tremendous falling away in the American Church. Now, it's our watch. Will we impact the next generations in a way that blesses them and draws them closer to the Lord? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the generational impacts of listening to and obeying God, and he shares some tangible things we can do to make a difference in the lives of those around us. Being in God's Word regularly tunes our ears to His voice, and understanding our roles as ambassadors to His Kingdom develops our faith. What we do is more impactful than what we say, so let's stop simply talking about the truth we know and start living it out.
