We are finite creatures serving an infinite God, so we must keep learning and growing. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the need for a spiritual understanding of God’s movements in the earth. We heard from speakers including Pastor John Amanchukwu, Pastor Rob McCoy, Eric Metaxas, and others during the 2025 Culture & Christianity Conference, and Pastor Allen shares some takeaways from their messages. Holiness and courage must take precedence over our happiness and comfort, and we must renew and deepen our respect for the Lord. Christianity demands of us a willingness to sacrifice our lives—so will we say to the Lord, “I'll follow you”?

Culture shouldn’t shape the Church—we should shape culture. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses some key lessons from the 2025 Culture & Christianity Conference. God is moving in the earth and in His people, and we want to be a part. That means having the courage to share the truth with those around us and bringing our faith into the public sphere. Pastor Allen shares the importance of honesty in moments like the ones we’re living through now, as well as the reality that we will face opposition. Let’s pray for God to give us the vision to recognize His work and assignments as we move forward with boldness for His Kingdom!

The media is filled with contradictory information about the conflict in the Middle East. How can we know what’s true? In this interview, Pastor Allen Jackson talks with Ronnie Simon, a Jewish historian and guide, about the battles raging today. Ronnie shares the history of Israel, Gaza, and Palestine, as well as the truth about the terrorist organization Hamas. He deconstructs the claims the media make, like accusations of genocide and ethnic cleansing. He also shares some good news from Israel about the success of their desalination plants and their dedication to rescuing every hostage. “It's an important Jewish principle: You don't leave anybody behind,” Ronnie said. “You do whatever you can to bring everybody home. As long as it will take, we will not spare any effort.” Let’s persist in praying for the peace of Jerusalem.

Godliness always brings a response. That response won’t always be applause, but we need to choose godliness anyway. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses spiritual growth and the cost of following Jesus wholeheartedly. With the recent assassination of Charlie Kirk, it’s tempting to let anxiety and worry about evil in our nation take hold—but the Lion of the tribe of Judah has already overcome all of Satan’s plans. We’ve let a lukewarm Christianity settle in our communities for a while now, but we can change. At a time when it may feel easier or safer to stay quiet, one of the most important things we can do is acknowledge the authority of Jesus in public.

How do we respond when threats against our faith become so public and antagonizing, and when rhetoric in the media is so divisive and hate-filled? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the Church in the United States and the need for courage and repentance. We watched a bold move from Satan when Charlie Kirk was assassinated, leaving many of us anxious and confused. Pastor Allen reminds us that we don’t need to be afraid—God has equipped us to resist evil. He shares stories from the life of leaders like David and Peter, who overcame threats and persecution through the power of the Holy Spirit. Now more than ever before, it’s time for us to be courageous for the Lord.

There are more expressions of the goodness, mercy, and power of God than expressions of evil in the earth today. Let’s determine to focus on the Lord, especially in the face of tragedy and suffering. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson addresses the loss of Charlie Kirk, a bold Christian, political activist, and the co-founder of Turning Point USA. Pastor Allen shares biblical advice on dealing with death and building an awareness of the Holy Spirit. We have been called to be overcomers, and like the apostles Peter and John in Acts, chapter 4, we can have the courage to fight these spiritual battles when we rely on the Holy Spirit for strength. Our Lord still does miracles, and He has the wisdom and authority to transform expressions of Satan’s evil into glory for His everlasting Kingdom.

How do you know when God is moving amongst His people? You’ll see repentance, humility, and transformed hearts. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses God’s movement and involvement in our lives. He teaches from the book of Acts to demonstrate the power, glory, and righteousness of God and how the world’s values fail to align with the Lord’s. It isn't just a battle over law and order—there's a spiritual conflict unfolding. We’re watching as morality continues to degrade, but there is hope! When we stand firm in our faith and trust the Holy Spirit to guide us in His perfect plans, God will bring us out of the darkness and into His light.
