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.

#694: Lions & Lambs — Preparing for Jesus’ Return
The culture is shifting, and the season has changed. It can be agitating and frightening, but it means something else, too: Jesus’ return is drawing closer. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses how we can be prepared for our Lord’s return. The Bible tells us that deception and conflict, both physical and spiritual, will increase as the End of the Age approaches. Pastor Allen shows how we see this in our world today, then he shares God’s instructions for standing firm. Living in the truth of God’s Word and relying on His wisdom and peace will be essential. We’ve been asked to overcome a number of daunting things—our own carnal desires, evil, Satan’s kingdom—but God hasn’t left us alone. We can trust in the Lion of Judah.

#693: Lions & Lambs — Power for the Impossible
It can be easy to say, “God, I believe You will deliver me from hardship.” However, what we should learn to say is, “Whether I see Your deliverance come the way I want it to or not, I will not stop worshiping You.” In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses depending on God and trusting in His timing. He teaches from the Old Testament book of 2 Kings to demonstrate our need for a deeper understanding of God’s character. We can trust that He is sovereign, holy, and righteous, so when we face discouragement, we know that our God gives us the power to overcome. God has given each of us enough faith to begin His work—and He will help us finish.

#692: Lions & Lambs — Victory Over Darkness
Through Jesus, the Lion of Judah, we have been given authority over Satan and the kingdom of darkness. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson helps us understand our identity in God’s Kingdom. We’ve been appointed as ambassadors; we’re representatives with assignments to complete for the Lord. Pastor Allen shares what it means to be a “stranger in the world,” and he teaches the importance of standing firm against our sinful desires. God has invited us into His family as His children, and through His love, mercy, and power, we can overcome the enemy.

#691: Lions & Lambs — A Triumphal Procession
There are two lions stalking the earth with opposite objectives, but they don’t have equal power. Jesus has won total, complete, eternal, irreversible victory over Satan and the kingdom of darkness. The Lion of Judah has triumphed! In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the spiritual conflict raging in the earth and how we can stand firm against the enemy by staying close to the Lion of Judah. We are not powerless or called to be spectators in this fight. We are invited to join the triumphal procession God has planned. Pastor Allen explains that the key to resisting the enemy and spending time in the presence of the Lion of Judah is praise, worship, and yielding our whole person to Jesus Christ—our strength, our intellect, our resources, our calendar, and our priorities. When we worship, it reframes our perception of ourselves and God, strengthening us to stand immovable and triumphant in our faith—even when we’re confronted with the roar of the lion.
