America - A Choice to Make

Air Date: July 8th & 9th

God has placed an open door before us—a window of opportunity to be salt and light in this unique time. What will our response be? Pastor Allen Jackson discusses leaders in the Bible who stood for God and His Truth in difficult circumstances. God used their lives to change the course of nations, and He is looking for people who will follow Him in the same way, today. Pastor Allen also discusses the book of Job and the tremendous hope, strength, and spiritual growth God offers as a result of enduring hardship.

Let's Pray - The Lord's Prayer

Prayer matters because evil is in the world and we cannot outthink it or overcome it by the force of our personal will—we need a power greater than ourselves! Thankfully, Scripture gives us blueprints for prayer: Jesus prayed to His Father, so we do as well; and the demons tremble at the name of Jesus, so we pray in His name. When we fail to pray we leave the doors of God’s possibilities closed. But when we commit ourselves to daily, workmanlike prayer, the outcome can benefit all of us. So, “Let’s pray!”

Let's Pray - Prayer 201

Prayer is a powerful response to life’s challenges. It opens doorways of God’s possibilities because God hears and responds to the prayers of His people. Prayer is an invitation to each of us to cooperate with His purposes, even when we’re not sure of the outcome. When we interact with the people in our lives by saying “Let’s pray,” we interject invitations to walk with God in a non-threatening way. Pastor Allen reminds us that the same power in the prayers of the Old Testament prophets and the New Testament disciples is available to us today.

Let's Pray - Improving Vision

Spiritual things are as real as the physical world in which we live; Genesis 1 says that God’s Spirit brought order to the chaos present on earth. Adults are often more comfortable in the rational, physical world, but Jesus said to His followers, “Unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.” Jesus used the example of a child—with a child’s desire to learn and change—as the doorway to significance in His Kingdom. Just as a child wants to learn, we should want to learn how to align ourselves with His purposes.
