Allen Jackson Ministries

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.   To support this ministry and help us continue to reach people all around the world, visit this link: allenjackson.com/podcastdonate

With deception increasing around us, we need to learn how to confront evil. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses strategies for overcoming the expressions of evil we encounter. He uses events from Jesus' ministry and the history of the Church to illustrate the need to invite God into every circumstance of our lives. Pastor Allen emphasizes the power we have to speak truth into other peoples' lives through our testimonies. He also offers four biblical lessons he learned from his mother—trust in Jesus, tell the truth, practice prayer, and demonstrate hospitality—that can help us triumph over evil in our daily lives.   To support this ministry and help us continue to reach people all around the world, visit this link: allenjackson.com/podcastdonate

Just as physical mountains separate masses of land, we can have spiritual mountains in our lives that separate us from God's best plans for us. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson explores barriers that may exist in our lives and the provision God offers to help us overcome them. Many times, the best way over a mountain isn't by scaling it, but by finding a mountain pass—a low path that allows you to traverse the mountains with less effort. In a similar way, God's plans for deliverance and restoration offer us a straight path to connect with Him, so we can have His help as we navigate the challenges of life.   To support this ministry and help us continue to reach people all around the world, visit this link: allenjackson.com/podcastdonate

It is God alone who brings restoration and healing to us, and we can trust in Him for renewal. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses how our ability to receive from the Lord is linked to our willingness to invite Him into our lives. The Lord will not always respond right when we want Him to, but through faith, we can overcome disappointment and trust that God is moving—regardless of how we feel. Pastor Allen shares stories of eye-opening acts of God's power in the lives of people like Apostle Paul, Apostle Peter, and even himself. God is inviting us to live out a bolder faith as He moves in new ways. Let's respond with "Yes!"

From the opening chapters to the final page of Scripture, miracles and healing are a consistent part of God's interactions with humanity. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses how we can have confidence in Jesus' authority to heal. He is our Great Physician, and Pastor Allen teaches on Matthew, chapter 8, to show that our God has all authority and power over sickness, disease, and spiritual attacks. We can have the peace and confidence to approach Him, too, through Jesus' ultimate sacrifice on the cross. While a miracle or healing is never guaranteed, let's cultivate the faith to trust that God's will for us is always perfect.

Healing and miracles are part of God's redemption story for us. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson teaches about the physical and spiritual restoration available to us through Jesus' work on the cross. In Genesis, we see that all of God's creation was perfect until the introduction of sin and humanity's fall from God's ideal. Pastor Allen shares that because of Jesus' sacrifice, we can be sanctified, redeemed, and restored through His blood. Does this mean God will always heal us immediately? No—our Lord is more interested in our seeking Him and being in relationship with Him. But it does mean we can hope and trust in our Savior and His perfect will for our lives.

Our nation will see reform not when policies change but when we begin revolutions in our hearts. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses how we can transform our lives and communities when we repent and honor God's authority. Significant change is catalyzed spiritually, and that begins with repentance—recognizing our missteps, apologizing to the Lord, and changing our minds and behaviors. Pastor Allen shares Jesus' teaching on having clean hearts, and he details four steps to spark transformation in our lives. We're watching more and more corruption and lawlessness be exposed, like light revealing what's hidden in darkness. So let's trust Jesus to help us walk in new paths. 

Liberties and freedoms come from God, not from governments. If we want continued freedom in our nation, we must change our hearts to align more fully with God's desires. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses spiritual health, discipline, and the changes we must undergo to rid ourselves of corruption and sin. When we recognize sinful behaviors, attitudes, or patterns in our lives that don't reflect God's will for us, we can find freedom through repentance, renouncing, releasing unforgiveness, and resolving to change from the inside out. God is moving in the earth, and He is faithful to transform us when we earnestly seek Him.

Our culture needs a reformation, and that's going to start from change within each of our hearts. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses our need for a greater awareness of God's power and a desire to develop spiritually. We can impact our society for God's Kingdom when we consistently choose to commit and submit to our faith. Pastor Allen shares a four-step process that fuels this transformation: repent from carnal behaviors, renounce any attachment to them, release anyone or anything we're harboring unforgiveness toward, and resolve to be different. Through the blood of Jesus, we have been made clean, and when we pursue a deeper faith, God works in and through us to renew our culture.

In spite of our broken world, the existence of evil, the presence of sin, and our own mistakes, God is faithful. His redemptive power is sufficient to rescue us from any damaged situation. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses obedience to God's purposes and the reality of living our lives as advocates of Jesus. We learn from the Apostle Paul that no matter our circumstances or the hardships we deal with, we can be content under the Lord's spiritual protection. We will face disappointments, but we can rest in the truth that God is faithful to those who seek Him. 

We can stand in courage—even in the midst of increasing evil in our nation and around the world—because we represent a faithful God. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses how we can confidently trust in the Lord even when it seems like darkness is growing. He shares the importance of seeking God and practicing obedience through life's hardships, and he draws from the life of Apostle Paul to demonstrate that difficult circumstances don't mean we've been abandoned. We've been called to endure, and the God who has called us will never leave us as we stand firm in Him and His truth. 

In this uncertain world, the only way to find a certain future is to know God is faithful. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses how we can defend ourselves against the deception in our culture and overcome anxiety and rejection through faith. He teaches from the life of Joseph, who dealt with a broken family, slavery and imprisonment, and rejection after rejection—but who refused to capitulate to the hardships he faced and instead chose to trust in the Lord. As lawlessness and wickedness increase around us, our greatest defense against the darkness is to know that God is faithful.

The rejection, disappointment, and challenging circumstances we've faced are legitimate, but they don't have the power to define our futures. Instead, we can rejoice because God is faithful. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the life of Joseph and how he trusted in the Lord through every trial and hardship he faced. Like Joseph, we have a solid foundation on which to put our hope, so we don't have to be overwhelmed with worry, anxiety, or despair. We can be confident that the God who has been faithful to us will continue to be faithful, and even when life's circumstances leave us broken, God never will.

As we continue to step into an uncertain future, let's determine to seek the Lord. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses how we can rely on God and His strength when we're not sure how to persevere. He teaches from the life of the Apostle Paul to demonstrate that in the midst of persecution and hatred, God's strength will allow us to endure—and endure with hope for the future. Now more than ever, our spiritual health is vital, and Pastor Allen shares the importance of prioritizing seeking the Lord. When we're faced with disappointment and hardship, let's remember that we don't have to rely on our own strength; God is faithful to help us.

"Freedom is not getting to do whatever you want. Freedom is getting to do what God wants you to do," said Pastor Rob McCoy, lead pastor of Calvary Chapel and former mayor of Thousand Oaks, California. In this interview, Pastor Allen Jackson and Pastor McCoy discuss the vital role the Church is called to play in our nation. Liberty can only be found in God, so we must guide our country's conscience in order to preserve our freedom. We may be told that Christians have no place in politics, but the opposite is true. By being an advocate for Jesus Christ, we can win hearts for His Kingdom and defeat the darkness of our culture.

Our world tells us that love should always be easy and stress-free, but is it possible that God's love for us—true love—could lead to disruption and discomfort? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses love, the theme of Advent's fourth week. We have a variety of mistaken notions about love, but we can go to God's Word to understand the truth about this topic. Pastor Allen teaches from three stories—humanity's fall in the Garden of Eden, Jesus' birth in Bethlehem, and Jesus' death on the cross—to show how our Lord's best for us can often look like boundaries, disappointment, and hardship. But through our obedience and by His love, God will faithfully transform us into something better.

Our attitudes and outlooks can impact our lives significantly, so maintaining our God-given joy is essential. But how do we maintain joy? In this sermon covering the third week of Advent, Pastor Allen Jackson shares three steps we can take to keep our joy intact, and he teaches about the impacts joy has on perseverance, especially through suffering. Like hope that needs a foundation to rest on, joy requires upkeep, and we can practice that through familiarity with God's Word, listening to God's voice, and being in godly community. Holidays can be painful, but we can have lasting joy even through suffering, because our joy is made complete through our willingness to persevere in faith.

In the Christmas narrative, angels came to deliver "good news of great joy" to us. Good news of great joy doesn't mean everything is going to be easy, but it does mean our assignments will be meaningful and well-rewarded. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson teaches about the theme for the third week of Advent: joy. We may be tempted to grumble when facing trials, but God calls us to endure with joy. It's counterintuitive to our human natures, but with the Holy Spirit's help, we can find true joy in the midst of hardship. God is moving in the earth, and we want to be a part of what He's doing in His Kingdom, so let's choose to cultivate joy—sustaining, eternal, and supernatural joy.

We will need the joy of the Lord and the strength that comes with it to complete our God-assignments. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses joy, the theme for the third week of Advent. Joy is a spiritual fuel that enables us to endure and overcome, and Pastor Allen shares examples from Nehemiah and Daniel, who flourished in hardship, to model how we, too, can rely on God to supply us with the strength we need. Our world seems to be darker day by day, but this Christmas season, let's overcome evil with the joy that comes from celebrating the birth of our Savior and King. 

Our faith has shaped our culture for hundreds of years, but we're living through an immense decline of its influence in our nation. We've been so focused on eternity that we've neglected our role in the present age. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses preparation, a theme of the Advent season. He teaches about leaders like Abraham and Stephen to demonstrate that as God progresses His plans in the world, we have to be intentional in moving with Him. The Church has an assignment, and we need to develop the discernment to understand it and accomplish it!
