Don't Be Surprised - A Mental Battle [The Battle We Face]

The battle we’re facing isn’t new. The early Church persevered through major theological and culture conflicts, and the same struggle continues today. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the battle in our minds, and the confusion and relativism that currently plagues the world, and the Church. As we study the early Church heroes, watching them stand firm in their faith in the midst of their crooked and depraved generation, we gain strength to continue to do the same today.

It is getting more difficult all the time to hear Biblical Truth taught from the pulpit. It takes courage, conviction, and a true love of the Word. A man who loves with honesty the Lord God Almighty and His Son the Lord Jesus Christ. We then hear, as with Allen, the workings of the Holy Spirit. GOD BLESS!!

[@EM-vs7wx]

Pastor Allen is really my minister even though I have a local church. His messages always add a special element to my Christian walk with Jesus. Thank you!

[@marylongoria9431]

Wonderful teaching! Thank you Pastor Allen!

[@annegan3918]

Thank you! God’s Truth is sharper than a two-edged sword...it sharply defines & sharply divides Truth from falsehood...righteousness from sin & unGodliness. The Shepherd’s true sheep are hungering for leaders to wield the sword & inspire the Truth to live in each of our hearts, so that we too are strengthened to wield His sword in the sphere in which God our Father has placed us!

Totally Awesom, He gave us Clarity of God's " will" of living this life as a COG.

[@rickysikes1631]

Reading mission reports , Christian biographies of Godly men and women through the centuries, and testimonies of the persecuted has defined true Christianity for me. They understood/understand scriptures and put them into practice while we in the West just talk about God loving us as though we are the center instead of God. They know that coming to Christ will cost them everything, probably even their lives; and they know He is worth it all.

Thank you Pastor for teaching as well as preaching the Word of GOD in an understandable way without using all those $50:00 words as many others do.I can listen to your messages,understand what you are saying and remember the message, unlike many other preachers.Keep preaching the truth!

[@garywalsh3141]

I am truly amazed. Each and every preacher I have ever encountered (I'm 77) teaches what is wrong with humanity. Why it is wrong. What happens when a person does not follow Christian principles. But...only one or two have ever even tried to explain WHAT MUST BE DONE TO CORRECT IT. The main problem is this. The attention span of humanity is about 60 minutes...maybe. And then...only on Sunday...maybe.

[@rg1whiteywins598]

Reading the old testament is hard because there are things they did like all the laws and sacrifices and offerings and battles with killing so many people. And then now other than self defense or defense of others we must never kill anyone. But they killed evil people to take possession of those people's land.

[@elysiab2453]

is it right to teach politics and the US in the church....Kingdom and America are opposites. The Church's greatest fallacy today is this confusion from the pulpit. Babylon and Kingdom of God are not one in the same--eventually youll have to choose America or Kingdom of God. I hoped this ministry was different :-( Politics in the pulpit...that spirit is def anti-Christ in the holy place.

[@cecilraines585]

How so. Jesus told his views. All Pastors should be speak the word of God in a world. Yes and from the pulpit. Not anti christ at all. They should not preach like they have their heads in a hole in the ground. We need like Pastor Allen to discern what the Bible tells us. Pastor Allen always preaches don't mean. He just preaches truth in the word. Heck Jesus too step on toed. Peace to you.
