Many identify themselves based on race, gender, nationality, or their occupation. But as Christ-followers, the allegiance of our lives is to Jesus—and that’s where our identity should rest. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses what it means to identify as a Christian. He walks through three questions about the defining factors of Jewish, American, and Christian identities, and he pulls from the New Testament to show how the fruit of our lives—our actions, behaviors, and motives—indicate our true identity and spiritual maturity. Pastor Allen looks at current events through a biblical lens to analyze the role the Church plays in culture and whether the fruit of a faith-filled people is evident in our nation today.

Rejecting God has brought tremendous suffering in our nation. But where does this rejection stem from? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the fear of God—holding a high respect for the Lord that ultimately affects your thoughts, desires, and behaviors. Pastor Allen teaches from Scripture to demonstrate the link between respecting God’s authority and receiving His blessings. In our culture today, it’s unpopular to live with a fear of God, and we see that impact our personal choices surrounding topics like money, sex, power, and our children. Fearing God is a learned response that grows as we pursue and honor Him.

God’s Word instructs us to overcome evil with good, and if we’re given an instruction from God, we can trust it’s possible to complete. So, how can we overcome evil with good? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson answers this question, teaching from the Gospel of Luke. He walks us through Jesus’ Passion—His crucifixion, death, and resurrection—and we see different responses from different kinds of people around Jesus. Some chose to mock Him, some stayed silent, and some spoke up. What kind of people will we be? Overcoming evil will require great courage—courage that God promises to provide for us.

Even facing brutal execution, Jesus refused to disassociate from the Kingdom of God. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses Jesus’ arrest and conviction, as told by the Gospel of Luke. Over the course of Jesus’ journey, we see contrasts between those who choose to align themselves with God’s Kingdom and those who do not. Pastor Allen teaches about the implications of this demonstration for the world today. It's our turn to choose: Will we believe or not believe? Will we be faithful or unfaithful? If we choose to follow God, we will face discomfort and rejection—but will we overcome that so we can boldly share the gospel in a world ripe for harvest?

Life is more difficult than we would like it to be. It comes with challenges we didn't imagine, decisions we would prefer not to face, and sometimes rejection and resistance because of our alignment with Jesus. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses Jesus’ time spent in synagogues. In the Gospel of Luke, we see a pattern emerge as Jesus travels from town to town spreading His message: He faces much resistance and rejection, but He remains bold in the face of persecution. From Luke’s Gospel, Pastor Allen shows us what we can expect today as we follow Jesus. Are we ready to have a confrontational faith?

Our generation is at a cultural crossroads, and our future will be determined by what we decide to do. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses passages in the Gospel of Luke where we find Jesus at the Temple, as well as some important points of Second Temple history. Some of the most notable events in Jesus’ ministry took place at the Temple, and He had a crucial message for His generation. Pastor Allen shows how that message applies to our generation as he offers a biblical perspective on our current cultural climate and the choice we face. Will we choose humility and repentance, or pride and indifference? The first option leads to God’s mercy, while the other will bring His judgment.

Jesus gave His followers important assignments, but He didn’t leave them unequipped. His power and authority are available to us, if we decide to commit to following Him. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses discipleship, as demonstrated in the Gospel of Luke. The twelve disciples didn’t always have the complete picture or understand entirely what Jesus was trying to tell them—but that didn’t stop Jesus from trusting them with the future of His Church. Jesus’ responses to them teach us about what discipleship should look like, even today. There’s a cost that comes with discipleship—but there’s a great reward, too: We surrender the things that fade in exchange for eternity with our Lord.

“Disaster on God's people is disaster on God's people, and Jews and Christians are in this together,” Yael Eckstein said. Join Pastor Allen Jackson for an interview with Eckstein, President of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews (IFCJ), as we remember those impacted by the October 7 attacks in Israel. Eckstein discusses the work the IFCJ is doing to provide aid, relief, and hope for those affected by the war. She shares how the prayers and support of Christians in America has been encouraging and urges us to continue praying for the peace of Israel. This interview was a part of the Flags of Fellowship event, hosted by IFCJ, Trinity Broadcasting Network, and hundreds of churches across the United States, including World Outreach Church. Antisemitism is on the rise again, and as Christians, we need to use our voices and boldly stand with our friends in Israel.

How can we learn to hear God when He speaks to us? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson explores what the Gospel of Luke has to say about listening to God’s direction over the noise of the world.

In the American Church, we love to study God’s Word and talk about our faith theoretically—but sometimes we struggle to apply its instruction in our lives. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the Gospel of Luke, teaching about the reality of spiritual forces in our world and showing the contrast between those who rejected Jesus’ message and those who accepted it. We have that choice to make, too; will we further shy away from sharing God’s Truth, or will we be people who are obedient to Scripture, even in the face of rejection?

If we want to see change in our culture, it doesn’t start with politicians; it starts with us. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the Gospel of Luke and what it has to say about rejection versus obedience. Throughout this Gospel, we watch as religious people like the Pharisees reject Jesus and His teachings, while people we wouldn’t expect choose to believe and obey what He says. Pastor Allen confirms that the Church needs to wake up, be active in our communities, and obey what the Bible instructs us to do—even when it means rejection. It’s worth it, because God promises to bless us for our obedience to Him.

Since rejection was very much a part of Jesus' life, we shouldn’t be surprised when we find it to be a part of our lives, too. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the varied responses we see to Jesus’ ministry in the Gospel of Luke. He faced a lot of opposition, but life-changing transformation was available to those who chose to believe and obey what He said. In Luke, Jesus acknowledges the spiritual forces at work in this world, and Pastor Allen shows us how we can apply that understanding to our culture today in areas like schooling, work, and politics. With the help of the Holy Spirit, we can overcome the rejection in our lives so the plans and purposes of God can be fulfilled.

While we can celebrate the Christian heritage of our nation, we must acknowledge the current momentum of our culture is pointed away from obedience to God. This change isn’t driven just by physical forces in our world, either. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the spiritual conflict taking place throughout our culture. He teaches from the Gospel of Luke to illustrate the source of resistance, dark forces, and wickedness we experience all around us, especially as we work to be obedient to God. Pastor Allen informs us about some of Satan’s tactics he uses to attempt to lead us away from God, and he shares with us two opposing responses to Jesus’ ministry found in Luke. Which side do we want to be on—rejecting Jesus, or choosing obedience to what He says?

Will we have the courage to take God’s Truth into our culture, even in the face of backlash and criticism? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson explores what the Gospel of Luke says about John the Baptist. He had an uncomfortable message to share with his community, and he met much resistance; however, John didn’t back down, and we shouldn’t, either. Pastor Allen draws from the book of Luke to teach about the reality of spiritual forces in our world and our need to rely on God, especially as our culture seems to drift farther and farther from Him. The Church has a role to play in the earth, and it’s time we stand up for our faith and invite God to direct the future of our nations.

We tend to think more information would be helpful when we’re deciding to respond to God’s call—but actually, what’s most helpful is obedience and a willingness to believe. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the opening chapters of the Gospel of Luke. In them, he shares with us different accounts of belief and obedience, including the stories of Zechariah, Mary and Joseph, Simeon, and others, and the results of their decisions to trust or doubt God. Pastor Allen shows how these stories—and the lessons they teach—connect with our culture today. God is moving, and being in tune with his Spirit is vital in today’s confusing world. With the help of the Holy Spirit, we can thrive by practicing God-honoring obedience and belief.

To what extent do we let the Word of God define our day-to-day lives? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses how we can lose our Christian traditions and ideas over the course of generations, if we don’t prioritize them in our lives now. One of the most important aspects of our faith that we see drifting away today is worship—reverent, biblical, God-honoring worship. Pastor Allen teaches about false gospels that have invaded the Church, making many into civic clubs instead of places where people can earnestly seek God and His truth. True praise starts with our attitudes toward the things of God. Worship begins as a posture within our hearts, inviting the presence and power of Almighty God into every aspect of our lives.

Something is happening in our world that can’t be fully understood in terms of nation-states, politics, and economies. There’s another force—a spiritual conflict—at work in the earth. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses spiritual realms and spiritual forces that affect us daily. He draws from the teachings of the Apostle Paul in the book of Ephesians to illustrate how we need to lean on God as our Protector in these uncertain times. Satan will try to attack us and distract us, but deliverance is possible through God. Only He can truly secure our peace and joy!

We're told the most secure thing we can have is silver or gold, but our true stability comes from strengthening our faith in Jesus. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the importance of generosity. He also talks about the reality of God’s faithful provision as we increasingly learn to trust Him with our resources. God calls us to plant seeds—being generous with our time, resources, and attention—as an expression of hope and confidence in His ability to provide. We will see a harvest as we do so. It’s not about the amount we give, but cultivating a heart that’s willing to give sacrificially.
