In his four-part series, "Freedom Fom Worry," Pastor Allen addresses the topic of worry and its effects on our lives. In Matthew 6 - 25-34, Jesus tells us four times not to worry. Worry was as much a part of people's lives in Jesus' time as it is today. Yet, Jesus is still commanding us to not worry, but to trust in the Lord. In a time when worry, anxiety and fear are epidemic in our society, Pastor Allen stresses the fact that worry is a sin that will, in time, erode God's best or our lives. Worry and faith are directly related. Giving in to our worries causes us to believe what WE think, feel and believe over what God says, thinks, and has for us. This makes a god out of ourselves and strangles our faith, leaving us weak and unable to stand. Thankfully, Pastor Allen reassures us that if Jesus tells us not to do something, He has also given us the power not do it. That power comes in our ability to have a greater awareness of eternity. By embraing the gift of the Holy Spirit, we can have the power, love, and peace of mind that God provides for us. This transfer of trust that must take place in order for us to gain freedom from worry can only occur through time spent daily with the Lord, forgivenes of others, letting go of our past failures, and allowing ourselves to dream.

God is For Us
July 3, 2021
Do we have room to imagine the Lord is with us, even when our circumstances are less than ideal? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson shows how God’s presence dwelled with people who earnestly sought after Him, including Abraham, Joseph, Joshua, Gideon, Samuel, David, Hezekiah, Mary, and Jesus. Just as the Lord's presence resided with these Bible heroes, even amongst extreme hardships, He promises to be with us today. He will guide, protect, and dwell with us, as we earnestly seek Him and submit to His plans for our lives.
Kingdom Participation

It’s increasingly important for the Church to understand the authority that’s ours, the assignments we’ve been given, and how to be bold, courageous, and active participants in God’s Kingdom. Pastor Allen Jackson discusses how to become more aware of the Kingdom of God and the components necessary to participate in it. Following God begins with being willing to change, listening to the Lord, and spending time meditating on His Word. Pastor Allen offers encouragement and insight to help.
God Is Moving - New Heroes
In Acts 19, seven different things happened to show that God was changing people’s hearts, and we can see many of those same events taking place today. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson offers biblical insight to help us recognize when God is moving. He also discusses our need to reconsider the heroes in our lives. The people we typically consider to be heroes—celebrities, sports stars, and actors—often lead lives that point people away from God, not toward Him. We need to be wise about who we surround ourselves with and who we follow, because they help define the trajectory of our lives.
