A Change of Heart
August 14, 2024 • Allen Jackson
Our generation is presiding over one of the most precipitous declines of Christian influence in the history of the Church—but we can change that. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses our need for repentance, or truly turning away from our sins. He teaches about the spreading influence of paganism and false gospels in our culture, such as Pelagianism and the gospel of cheap grace. Pastor Allen reads from Matthew, Luke, and other books to emphasize upholding a biblical definition of marriage and the importance of protecting children. If we want to see change in the culture around us, we ourselves must have a change of heart.
Time to Lead
July 24, 2024 • Allen Jackson
God is actively recruiting people who are willing to be an influence and make an impact for the Kingdom of God. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson addresses our assignment to “stand in the gap” in our culture and our communities. We, like Ezekiel, can lead those around us toward the purposes of God. Pastor Allen offers several ways we can expand our influence, including looking for ways to serve others daily and intentionally aligning our values with God’s. He emphasizes the importance of children and cultivating a childlike faith in the Kingdom of God. He also discusses the reality of the spiritual realm and why it’s vital to pay attention to who or what you’re serving. After all, when we decide to serve God, Heaven itself unlocks our potential.

Prepared for Perilous Times
April 3, 2024 • Robert J. Morgan
We are living in perilous times, but God's Word will help us navigate what's ahead. In this sermon, Pastor Robert J. Morgan discusses 2 Timothy, chapter 3, which warns of what’s to come. People will be “lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive,” and we can see this in today’s culture. But Paul reminds us that those who follow the Lord and His teachings will be equipped for every good work. Pastor Rob discusses what it means to ruminate on Scripture and how God’s Word is uniquely able to transform our hearts and our minds. Will you choose to be a person of the world or a person of the Word?
Let's Choose Truth
January 13, 2024 • Allen Jackson
God has called us to buy the truth, to cherish the truth, to uphold the truth, and to be truth-tellers. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the great value of truth and the surprising truths that have been revealed since the Covid pandemic began in 2020. Not everyone will celebrate the truth, and some will outright reject it—but it’s the Church’s job to be salt and light, boldly taking the truth to our generation. God is looking for people who are willing to carry out His purposes in the earth, and though that will require courage and diligence, our efforts will impact eternity
The Importance of Community:
December 31, 2022 • Allen Jackson
God's people have an important role in our culture: Keeping the holidays as holy days. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson encourages us to adopt a God-honoring approach to holidays including New Year's Day. He reviews the practices and traditions of several Jewish Holy Days to show how our holidays can be anchored in acknowledging the Lord, aligning ourselves with His will, and celebrating all He has done for us. This approach offers many benefits and will help strengthen our children, our families, and our community.
Christianity or Paganism
December 4, 2022 • Allen Jackson
We are no longer at a crossroads—we’re beyond it, and we’re witnessing our culture tragically move away from a Christian worldview. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the various ways this is apparent, and asks if it’s possible to reach a place where God will no longer extend forgiveness. He provides a variety of Scriptures to help us answer this question and offers biblical insights that speak into current topics like gender transition in children, Christian marriage, and the Respect for Marriage act. God is a God of love and mercy—but the love of God is supported by His justice and judgment.
Who Are God's Chosen People?
September 3, 2022 • Allen Jackson
From Genesis 12 through the book of Revelation, we find the story of God developing a people for Himself. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the people of God, who they are, and how and why we want to be counted amongst them. In Genesis 17:7, God established His covenant with Abraham, telling him, "I will always be your God and the God of your descendants after you." That covenant applies to the Jewish people—and its promises extend to us, through our faith in Jesus.
Helping Others Experience God’s Best
August 31, 2022 • Allen Jackson
How do we move our faith from being theoretical—like something learned in a classroom—to an active part of our daily lives? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the difference between accumulating knowledge about the Bible and walking by faith, intending to honor and abide in the Lord in all we do. Salvation is free and available to every person who declares Jesus is Lord. But once you have received that free gift, it takes time and effort to grow your faith so you can experience God’s best for your life.

Big Trouble Ahead
July 17, 2022 • Allen Jackson
Jesus’s first directive was not to believe, but to repent. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses how repentance leads to faith—it’s a foundational practice we cannot afford to ignore. Our salvation is an expression of grace—we didn’t earn it, we don’t deserve it, and it’s not based on merit. But for Jesus to be Lord of our lives, we need to regularly repent and yield our will to Him. Jesus is Lord of everything, or He’s not Lord of anything. Pastor Allen offers steps we can take toward repentance, inviting the Spirit of God to give us eyes to see and ears to hear what He wants us to show us.

Our foundations must be strong and stable as the storms around us intensify. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson reminds us that Jesus is the foundation of our faith, and we gain stability by embracing God’s Word and following what it says—including repenting. Repentance is not an emotion; it’s a decision that emerges from our will to follow God, turn away from anything that diminishes His role in our lives, and honor Him with our habits, attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors. Greater faith, confidence, and trust in God will come as we build our willingness to practice repentance.
