To understand America’s history, you must acknowledge the blessings of God. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses how the Christian faith has impacted our nation. The Declaration of Independence acknowledges God’s sovereignty, stating we are “endowed by (our) Creator with certain unalienable rights.” We need to invest in developing our character—and our children’s character—so we’re prepared to protect our freedoms and liberties with the same kind of tenacity previous generations held. Pastor Allen provides insight on what it means to be a hero. Heroism doesn’t come from being a celebrity or a movie star. True heroism comes from the Spirit of the living God within us, who will help us do mighty things—overcoming, persevering, and honoring Him in any circumstance.
