God is Moving
April 6, 2024 • Allen Jackson
Do you know how to recognize when God is moving? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the many ways God is making His presence known across the world in this season. The best way to secure our future is to align ourselves with God and His will. If we do, we’ll be able to recognize God’s movement and participate in it, bringing more people into His Kingdom. Times of harvest can be disruptive—the field looks different at the end of the harvest than it does at the beginning. It's time to embrace this disruption, abandon what’s easy and comfortable, and decide to follow God in a new way.
Easter, The Cast of Characters
March 31, 2024 • Allen Jackson
Many of us know the Easter story and the people involved with Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection. But in this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson digs deeper, showing how many unlikely characters recognized Jesus as their Lord, while others surprisingly withdrew from the arena. It’s helpful to examine the people in the Easter story because God is still calling a people to Himself—a people who will believe in Him and acknowledge the truth about Jesus of Nazareth. The resurrection is just one example of God moving in the earth with “a mighty hand and an outstretched arm.” In times of shaking, God intervenes for His people with His power and might. Our generation desperately needs expressions of the power of God, and that recognition, desire, and expectation begins in the hearts of His people—you and me.
Let Freedom Ring
April 16, 2022 • Allen Jackson
The Spirit of God offers each of us a personal invitation towards freedom. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses how all the freedoms we enjoy come directly from God, and for our children to know the liberties and freedoms we do, the Church must be alive, healthy, and vibrant. God will respond to us as we repent and pray for ourselves, our communities, and our nation. Pastor Allen then leads the congregation in a prayer to ask God into our lives and offers an invitation towards baptism.
Easter Ministry Team
April 13, 2022 • Allen Jackson
Serving the Lord comes with both blessings and opposition, and in this message, Pastor Allen Jackson encourages those who volunteered to serve during Easter services. At the last supper, Jesus washed his disciples' feet, even though he knew their imperfections and that there was a betrayer in their midst. We are called to serve others in the same way, loving and honoring people as Jesus loved his disciples. The service ends with each participant being anointed with oil, inviting the Holy Spirit to work through each of their lives.

In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the importance of spiritual vision—being able to discern what God is doing and what He wants us to do. We need God’s perspective on our current situations, so we can repent, grow in our faith, and adjust our course to His. Pastor Allen also discusses our responsibility to uphold truth when we see it being misaligned.
Visions of the Future

We desperately need insight and direction beyond what the world offers us. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the importance of being able to see spiritually. As Christ-followers, our birthright is to understand the mysteries of God, and there is a difference between performing religious rituals and actively pursuing a life-changing faith. God has more for us than we have asked Him for, and as we repent and earnestly seek Him, He will reveal new things to us.
Escaping the Descent into Paganism
April 3, 2022 • Allen Jackson
A church may have Christian architecture, Christian language, and religious symbols and activities, but if it denies the divinity of Jesus and the authority of Scripture, it’s not a Christian church. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson talks about how our culture is separating itself from a Judeo-Christian worldview, and the importance of strengthening our faith and being obedient to the truth that we know. He also discusses the three different types of baptism presented in Scripture (John’s baptism; Christian baptism; and Spirit baptism), and the significance of each.
