Divine Dependence: Trusting God is crucial in uncertain times. His care provides strength and hope, and being part of His community offers true security as we face life’s challenges.
God is calling His people to recognize their dependence on Him, especially in uncertain times. As institutions and certainties around us shake, we must remember that true security comes from being under God's care. Amid life's challenges, being part of God's community provides strength and hope. Alan Jackson Ministries aims to spread this message, encouraging followers to embrace their faith boldly and without reservation. Despite rising challenges, the ministry remains committed to sharing God's truth and supporting believers. They highlight the importance of not just planning for life but also integrating faith into our decisions. Ultimately, trusting in God's oversight is vital for peace and stability, no matter how tumultuous the world may become.
Listening to God: Prioritize listening to the Word of God daily to shape your thoughts and responses, providing guidance through life's challenges and fostering a deeper relationship with Him.
Listening to the Word of God is essential for spiritual well-being. Just as the ancient prophets delivered messages from God to their nations, we must also focus on incorporating Scripture into our daily lives. It's important to identify the primary influences that shape our thoughts and feelings, ensuring that we prioritize God's voice. Reading the Bible regularly helps us gain a better understanding of God’s character and promises, providing guidance and comfort amidst life's challenges. By dedicating a few minutes each day to Scripture, we can cultivate a deeper relationship with God and be better equipped to navigate the complexities of our modern world. Ultimately, we're encouraged to embrace God’s direction, as it can profoundly impact our lives and bring us peace.
God's Care: God watches over us like a shepherd, providing care and strength against challenges. We must prioritize Him over hobbies. Supporting initiatives that share biblical truth helps spread His message to a world that needs hope.
God's care for us is all-encompassing, much like a shepherd looking after their flock. He promises to protect us and help us overcome our challenges, regardless of how powerful they may seem. Prioritizing our relationship with God is crucial; we shouldn’t let hobbies take His place. In a world where many see God as a hobby, we must recognize His role as our greatest hope, especially for those less fortunate. Our comfortable lives can distract us from our dependence on Him. As we face uncertainties, God's strength is our assurance. His word encourages us to trust in Him, for He will redeem us from our struggles. On a practical note, there’s an ongoing effort to create resources that share biblical truth and perspective through new media projects. Supporting these initiatives enables us to spread the gospel in today's complex world.
Divine Gathering: God's promise to gather the Jewish people showcases His faithfulness throughout history, despite their long absence from their homeland. In 1948, this promise was fulfilled with the establishment of Israel, highlighting God's enduring covenant with them.
God has a purpose for His people, especially the Jewish people, who were scattered for centuries due to their choices. Despite being disbanded for nearly 2000 years, God promised to gather them back, which He fulfilled when Israel was established in 1948. This event demonstrates God's faithfulness to His covenant with them, allowing them to return from various nations. The uniqueness of the Jewish identity persisted even without a homeland, as their faith and Scriptures bonded them. The complex history of the Jewish people illustrates that God remains in control of their destiny, emphasizing His ability to fulfill His promises through time and tribulation.
Flourishing Israel: Israel, a small but significant nation, thrives against overwhelming odds, fulfilling God's promises and prophecies. Its resilience and agricultural success amidst opposition highlight a unique role in history and current global events.
Israel, a small nation with a tiny population, holds significant importance on the world stage, despite its size and geographic challenges. Throughout history, God’s promises to Abraham regarding this land have remained relevant. Even as Israel faces considerable opposition from surrounding nations, it has thrived, showcasing resilience and growth. The country is now a leader in agricultural innovation, turning even barren land into fertile ground. This flourishing is seen as a fulfillment of prophecy, illustrating a divine hand at work. As we reflect on current events, understanding Israel’s role in history and prophecy can help us recognize the unique time we live in and prepare for future challenges. It is vital not to overlook the relevance of these spiritual and historical connections as they impact the present and future.
Israel's Challenges: Israel faces great challenges from neighboring terrorists and inconsistent U.S. policies. Praying for peace involves fostering spiritual harmony, not just avoiding conflict.
Israel is facing challenging times, with many threats from neighboring countries and terrorist organizations like Hezbollah, Iran, and ISIS. Despite these difficulties, the relationship between the Jewish people and God is crucial. It is emphasized that prayers for peace in Jerusalem should focus on spiritual harmony, not just the absence of conflict. Additionally, there's concern about the U.S. government's inconsistent policies regarding global terrorism and nuclear weapons, particularly in relation to Iran, which openly threatens Israel's existence. This highlights a significant moral dilemma, calling for a deeper understanding of these spiritual and geopolitical issues.

The Cost of Silence - Part 2
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.

With the help of the Holy Spirit, we can thrive by practicing God-honoring obedience and belief.

Life Giving Word
The first five books of the Bible—known as the Books of Moses or the Pentateuch—are the revelation of the character of God and His holiness and the story of how He delivered and established His people in the earth. The Exodus story and the surrounding events are a foreshadowing of Christ’s redemptive work on the cross. These books should cause us to rejoice in God’s provision of His inspired, authoritative Word and inspire us to a deeper hunger for the things of God.
Things Forgotten & Remembered
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.
