  #809: Let's Be "God Smart" [How to Thrive!] 30.09.2026 41min

  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 his wealth and life experiences were worth nothing. Pastor Allen explains the real measurements of success we should be looking for in our lives, and he explores why we can trust God—and why we should aim to be people God can trust. Proverbs tells us the voice of folly is loud, so let's train our ears to hear wisdom when she speaks.

  #808: Let's Be—"God Smart" - Abundance & Poverty 29.09.2026 48min

  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 abundance. It can be easy to slip into laziness or selfishness, but Proverbs tells us clearly what the products are of those behaviors. God's character is revealed in His Word, and in this book of wisdom, He tells us the right choices to make. Let's listen to His guidance!

  #807: Let's Be—"God Smart" 24.09.2026 44min

  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 peace and safety. Proverbs reveals to us the consequences of our actions—good or bad—and it shares the promises God makes to us when we choose to listen to Him and value what He values. Let's make it our goal to understand what He will bless and reward, and then walk in that wisdom.

  #806: Is God a Socialist? - Equality, Generosity & Our Resources 23.09.2026 54min

  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 possessions we've been temporarily entrusted with. Envy is at the root of many socialist ideas in our culture today, but God cares far more about the formation of our characters than making us happy—and following His will, not our own emotions, is the best way to find blessings in our lives.

  #805: Through the Water 22.09.2026 26min

  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 intentions for our lives, but we can find righteousness and reconciliation through faith in Christ. A relationship with the Lord means we submit to His will, and that includes being baptized. Let's celebrate with those who have chosen to take that step!

  #804: Is God a Socialist? - Abundance and Provision 17.09.2026 48min

  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 can creep into our lives if we're not careful, but God's design for resting in His provision can keep us satisfied and stress-free. Instead of looking to an economic model to guarantee our security, peace comes when we remember this fact: God is sovereign over everything. It's all His.

  #803: Accepting God's Invitations - A New Life 16.09.2026 46min

  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 and the need each of us have for salvation. Throughout the Bible, God's Word points to His provision for us, but it's up to us to accept His invitations. When we obey Him, we may think we're doing things for God, but in reality, He's doing something for us.

  #802: Accepting God's Invitations - Baptism 15.09.2026 51min

  When we obey God by being baptized, God meets us and responds to our obedience. Baptism is something God does for more than something we do for Him. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the invitations God holds out to us and the importance of accepting those opportunities. He teaches specifically on water baptism, its history, and what it symbolizes: repentance, a burial and resurrection, and the beginning of a new life in Christ. Jesus Himself was baptized, and He taught His followers to do the same. If we want our lives to be transformed, then we need to take hold of every opportunity God presents us to cooperate with Him—beginning with being baptized into His Kingdom.

  #801: Tenacity & Following God 10.09.2026 48min

  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 "dog" in Hebrew, to display a pattern we can follow in our own lives. Loyalty to Christ, living by faith, and always desiring nearness to Jesus are qualities we should strive to develop. As any dog owner knows, a dog's mantra is "where you go, I go"—and that should be our mantra, too, as we follow after Christ.

  #800: Science, Angels & Jesus [Expressions of this Present Age] 09.09.2026 52min

  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 toward the End of the Age. Pastor Allen teaches about the spiritual realms that impact the world we experience through our senses, and he explains how the supernatural and the sciences don't conflict. The problems we think are political or cultural are actually spiritual, but we're not alone in the battle. There is an all-powerful God, He loves us, and He will help us.

  #799: Science, Angels & Jesus [The Authority of the King] 08.09.2026 47min

  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 Allen shares biblical insights about angels, and he teaches about Jesus' Kingdom—a Kingdom that's not of this world and is more real than any earthly kingdom. Jesus has all authority, and repenting and surrendering to Him amplifies our existence, both now and for eternity.

  #798: "Science, Angels & Jesus [Angelic Encounters] 27.08.2026 46min

  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 in our lives today, sharing from the stories of Zechariah, Mary, Joseph, and Jesus to demonstrate that our five senses don't define the limits of reality. Let's not be restricted by our doubt; instead, let's lean into all God has planned for our futures. He is writing a better story for us!
• 
  #797: Science, Angels & Jesus 26.08.2026 51min

  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 outside of time and space to guide and recruit His followers, and Pastor Allen shares how trusting and believing in the truth of Jesus' identity is the best way to navigate existence. Our world is not simple or easily understood, but we don't have to be full of doubt or fear when we rely on the Lord to lead us.

  #796: A Warning to the American Church [Special Guests Pastor Rob McCoy and Pastor Son Hyun-bo] 25.08.2026 1godz 2min

  When South Korean Pastor Son Hyun-bo was mocked and beaten repeatedly for attending church, he said, "It was a privilege to be persecuted for God." Now, he's under threat of arrest for leading with his faith in an increasingly communist nation. In this message, Pastors Rob McCoy and Son Hyun-bo share about the ongoing struggle for religious freedom currently underway in South Korea. They share Pastor Son's testimony and the political parallels between his nation and ours. "Freedom can slip away suddenly," Pastor Son reminds us, so let's heed his warning and fight while we can for true freedom—freedom that comes from God alone.

  #795: Dangerous Faith - Uncomfortable Light 24.07.2026 49min

  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.

  #794: Dangerous Faith - Opposition, Not Defeat 24.07.2026 44min

  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!

  #793: Dangerous Faith - Addressing Demonic Resistance 24.07.2026 47min

  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.
• 
  #792: Expressions of Dangerous Faith 24.07.2026 50min

  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.
• 
  #791: Dangerous Faith - Strength & Courage 24.07.2026 50min

  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.

  #790: Dangerous Faith - Strength Provided 24.07.2026 46min

  We gain spiritual strength when we listen, obey, overcome fatigue, and persevere—and this is certain: We will need greater strength to participate with God in the seasons ahead. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses developing "dangerous faith" so we can learn to adapt, endure, and overcome. In the Gospels, we see Jesus and His followers facing hardship and conflict because their message challenged traditions of the day. Pastor Allen shows how Jesus' example of faith applies to our lives, as times and seasons change and the need for light in the darkness grows. We know God's purposes in the earth will be accomplished. Are we ready to participate?
