Why is it important to pray for Jerusalem and the peace of Israel? Pastor Allen Jackson explains the unique roles that Israel, the Church, and the nations play in establishing God’s Kingdom on the Earth. God created an everlasting covenant with the Jewish people, promising blessings to those who support Israel, and curses to those who come against it. Pastor Allen uses scripture to explain why it’s in our best interest to intentionally love, pray, and care for Israel, Jerusalem, and the Jewish people—and offers tools to help us get started.

National Day of Prayer Service 2024
God responds to the prayers of His people, and throughout the Bible we find examples of prayer changing the course of nations. In this 2024 National Day of Prayer celebration, Pastor Allen leads the congregation through prayers for ourselves, our leaders, our nation, and our world. “Your role in this is mission critical,” Pastor Allen said. “We're asking the Creator of all things to engage with us in impacting our generation. That's a tremendous privilege!” Let’s be diligent to ask for God’s mercy, grace, and blessings upon our nation.
The Power to Change the Future
You have the power to change your future, but do you believe it? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson reminds us of who God is and what He is capable of doing. When we choose to align ourselves with God and follow His direction for our lives, we gain access to His power, wisdom, understanding, and grace—and that changes everything. Pastor Allen discusses the life of Ahab, a king who was so ungodly that 1 Kings 25 tells us, “There was none who sold himself to do what was evil in the sight of the LORD like Ahab.” Ahab repented of his sinful ways after receiving a prophetic message from Elijah. God turned Ahab’s heart back to Him, and He can do the same in any heart today. Pastor Allen offers a powerful Psalm we can pray over our lives to invite the Holy Spirit to help us repent and forgive so we can draw closer to God and seek Him more fully.
Learning to Overcome - Defeating Discouragement
Overcoming is not optional for living a successful life as a Christ-follower—it’s necessary. Pastor Allen reminds us that strength and courage are vital for a person of faith. We have access to all the strength and courage we need because our God is able. He’s the Creator of all things, who watches over the paths of nations and intervenes in human history. He doesn’t wring His hands in despair. Christ in us makes a difference—because our God is able!
