Let's give God's direction the highest place of authority in our homes, and let's stop surrendering that place to voices outside our families. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses our responses to God's invitations. The Lord has invited us to participate in His Kingdom, and through two parables found in Matthew and Luke, we can understand the results of accepting or rejecting Him. As the End of the Age draws nearer, we must ask ourselves if we're living with a presumptive attitude toward our faith or if we're wholeheartedly pursuing our Savior. We've been asked to eat at the Lord's table—how will we respond?

If the darkness is growing more intense, it's because the light is too dim—so let's turn up the light! In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses what it means to lead with our faith. We need to remember Who we're representing in our day-to-day interactions, conversations, and family or business decisions, and we should boldly invite Jesus into every space we enter. God will overcome the spiritual forces of evil manifesting in our tumultuous culture—but Pastor Allen reminds us we've been called to help. Let's be faithful stewards of what we've been entrusted with and good ambassadors for the Kingdom of Heaven. It's time to be salt and light!

For our lives, communities, and nations to get to a better place, we have to stop waiting for someone else to be different; we have to become the difference. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the spiritual authority of God's Word and the responsibility we have to let it change our hearts, minds, and behaviors. As evil grows in our world, so do our opportunities for spreading God's Kingdom to those around us, starting with the people at our kitchen tables. Pastor Allen teaches about Jesus' parable of the wheat and tares, and he clarifies Christians' relationship to the Jewish people, answering the question, "Did the Jews kill Jesus?" As antisemitism increases, so will Christian persecution—but we don't have to be afraid. Let's determine to build a relationship with God, our only source of peace and protection.
