Allen Jackson Ministries

When we step into light from a dark place, it's uncomfortable at first. But the light brings visibility and clarity, and it's a healthier place to be. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses growing more spiritually aware as God shakes the earth. There are spiritual forces at work in our world, and as darkness grows more intense, it will take greater courage to live out our faith . Pastor Allen teaches about Paul and Silas' missionary work in Philippi to demonstrate that courageous faith, even in the face of physical and spiritual opposition, brings God's freedom to ourselves and those around us. Transformation is possible when we turn up the light.

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. While the Lord tells us to expect hardship, He also promises to be with us in it. Pastor Allen also reminds us that our God helps us to overcome our fears, our circumstances, and even our own doubts. The Lord has told us to be light in the darkness, compassionately telling people the truth everywhere we go. Let's have the boldness to complete our assignment!

When the things we trust in are being shaken, it feels unsettling, awkward, and intimidating, but God is moving in the midst of it all. Let's not miss this opportunity to be courageous for the Kingdom. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses why we suffer and why "dangerous" faith is necessary for the seasons ahead of us. He walks through Paul and Silas' experience in Philippi to demonstrate that when we're bold in our faith, we should expect opposition, often from spiritual forces. We've been coached into a non-threatening faith, but what our culture needs is a faith that threatens the spiritual powers of darkness. So, when we suffer for the name of Christ, let's remember that He first suffered for us.

If we want to have a "dangerous" faith, we need to recognize we've been sanctified—set apart for God's purposes in the earth. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses what it looks like when we purposefully seek God and desire to mature in our faith. We'll have to learn to rely on the Holy Spirit because obedience to the Lord often comes with vulnerability. But Pastor Allen shares how we've been made overcomers through Jesus, and he emphasizes our need for godly community. All of our favorite heroes in the Bible led with dangerous faith, and God wants that for us, too. Let's not be satisfied with anything less than the intentional pursuit of the Lord.

The challenges in our lives are real, and our adversary, Satan, is real, but Jesus is our perfect source of strength and courage. We're not alone. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses how we can overcome the fear and anxiety we're sure to face as we follow Jesus. He draws from the lives of great leaders like Joshua and Paul to show how God provides everything we need to be victorious in the midst of hardship. Pastor Allen also underscores the importance of community and family as we mature in our faith. Christians have faced persecution for centuries, but we can take courage! Our God is with us, and He is our strength.
