#715: A New Destiny — Prayer and Fasting
Seeking God begins with a personal and deliberate choice, and it results in lifechanging responses from the Lord. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses pursuing the Lord through fasting and prayer. He draws from the lives of Daniel and other spiritual leaders in the Bible to teach how to fast, what sacrifice and self-discipline look like, and how the Lord is willing to respond when we humble ourselves before Him. Evil is rearing its head with the rise of lawlessness in our nation, but with God's power and authority it will be overcome. Our Lord writes new destinies for us when we seek His face.

#713: We Are Meant to Be Warriors [Special Guest Lt. Gen. (Ret.) William G. "Jerry" Boykin]
It's become fashionable to diminish our faith, but compromise is destructive. We are meant to be warriors for God's Kingdom. In this interview, Pastor Allen Jackson talks with Lieutenant General William G. "Jerry" Boykin, a retired Delta Force veteran, about being courageous and steadfast in our faith, even amidst difficult, life-threatening, and hostile situations. General Boykin reflects on his 36 years in the military and beyond, telling miraculous stories of God's protection and reassuring us that God will never leave us nor forsake us. He also offers encouragement for fathers, intercessors, and anyone struggling with the temptation to capitulate their faith. "You need to know what your values are. You need to know what you believe in. You need to know what you're willing to sacrifice for, what you're willing to even die for," General Boykin said. "But you need to know why you believe it."

#712: Shaping Culture - When God Moves
The Bible says we're going to need strength and effort to follow the Lord. In fact, the greatest demands of our lives will be attached to our faith. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses how we can step up and shape culture with our allegiance to Jesus Christ. It begins with intentional spiritual growth and discipline—often uncomfortable, but necessary. Pastor Allen shares the importance of influencing the next generation to practice godliness, and he speaks on the biblical reasons Christians should support the Jewish people. There's a lot of pushback in the culture regarding those two issues, but God is shaking the earth, revealing Himself as the only steady foundation. We can trust that He will restore His people.
