Following Jesus requires doing difficult things. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses what it means to push past what’s comfortable and convenient so we can deliver the truth of the gospel to the people around us. He offers examples from the life of John the Baptist and Jesus—both suffered mocking, rejection, and death because they told the truth, but they remained faithful to their assignments. Pastor Allen encourages us to choose to “do difficult,” using our lives to bring God’s light and truth into our culture. Our obedience and intentionality today will lead to a more promising and God-honoring future for ourselves and our children.   To support this ministry and help us continue to reach people all around the world, visit this link: allenjackson.com/podcastdonate

We need to be aware of the battle taking place within us and around us, and the authority we have through Christ. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the conflict between good and evil and the way it has infiltrated the Church, our culture, and ourselves. He points out several ways good and evil presents itself in the Bible and our world today. Each generation must decide whether they will honor the Lord, and we are no different. To follow God means actively seeking Him and being willing to engage in what He’s doing in the earth. Choosing to align ourselves with God gives us access to His authority, which has power over evil. Instead of pushing aside biblical doctrine to appease our culture, let’s determine to seek God, honor His Word, and live.

#559: Battle with Good & Evil — Without & Within

The battle between good and evil exists around us every day, we just need to be willing to recognize it. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the reality of good and evil and its impact on us. We find many examples of “good” in the Bible including miracles, stories of God’s grace and deliverance, and the blessings that come to people who choose to follow God. We also find many examples of evil and the devastation it brings. Evil is the work of Satan, who intends to kill and destroy God’s people. It’s time to decide: Will we will follow God and His principles, inviting good into our lives; or will we choose to pursue evil by dismissing God and His Truth?
