Great Leaders in Difficult Times | Pastor Allen Jackson

➡️ Being a strong leader doesn’t require a large following or the type of influence that’s recognized by others. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses what makes leaders great, according to Jesus, and how this differs from the world’s standards. He reviews passages from Hebrews 11 and Acts 16, highlighting people who allowed God to speak into their lives and their determination to follow Him, even when it required changing their course. At times their faithfulness led to opposition, not applause. We will encounter the same today as we follow the Lord into the assignments He has for us. The season ahead will require a new level of interdependence on the Lord-a desire to seek His wisdom and follow His Spirit, so we can recognize His truth amongst the confusion.

When has God unexpectedly changed the course of your life? What was your initiial response? How did that event impact your faith?

[@PurplKingdom]

In one sentence. 'God picked me up and dropped me in TN'. My initial response was acceptance. I was VERY much humbled, at the time, by my maker. I know God moves me when He needs to. It was not my plan which makes it so much better :) I actually spent 8 months, alone in a cabin in MN, before I arrived in TN. During those 8 months, I listened to a LOT of Derek Prince and I am thankful for what I learned from that man. I had NO idea, I would be following a leader (Alan), who came from that stock? My relationship with the Holy Spirit has blossomed here in TN and under the churches leadership and I am thankful to be here. God is good...

[@leeriterii2128]

Over time it strengthened my faith. In the moment I felt sorry for myself, frustrated. I still struggle with addressing the wrong associated with the situation I faced. I just want everyone to be okay including myself. Now I face stigma all because I was associated with six sigma. Seems impossible but believe me it's not. God can do anything. Use 2024T3 to fix anything. I see that as Calvary. Three wooden crosses. I've been telling people I cancelled Halloween and was dressing up for Easter this year. What I cannot lay down is the Bible and my faith because I have been exposed to things miraculous regardless of how awful they may have seemed in the moment. Hindsight is 20/20, all things good and bad are blessings.

GOD BLESS WOC & PASTOR ALLEN JACKSON AND ALL STAFF AND VOLUNTEERS AND FELLOW PARISHIONERS HAVE A BLESSED DAY WE R AWAKE BY GODS FAIH & GRACE 🙏🏻☦️🛐😇🇺🇸🦮🦮🎀🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@mjburgess754]

Discovered A Jackson KZbin videos about a year ago. He never disappoints. I don’t have time to watch every week, but I wish I had a pastor who would speak about what’s happening in the world from biblical perspective. My pastor preaches from the Bible, but rarely mentions what’s happening in the world and in America. We need to be in constant prayer as US is rapidly descending into chaos mostly because we are forgetting God/Jesus in our daily life. God help us to put Him first. Thank you, Dear Lord, for Allan Jackson and those like him who minister to the people. Lord, please forgive us for our lack of reverence for You and help us to look to our Almighty God.

Yes Pastor ONLY God's Blessing Will Sustain Us. I Keep Hearing "Why Do You Call Me Lord, Lord, but Not Obey My Father's Laws. He Is Moving and Preparing Us for Why Else Would He Had Told Us About Holding Out Till His Coming. To Have Faith, to SURRENDER to Him, doing our part. Because There is more to it than our own Salvation. One Body and When a Part Hurts We All Also. Thank You for Opening up my eyes to all these things WOC. I thank you so much daily for the Hope You Bring Us. To God Be the Glory for All You Do for the World. Let us have the Courage to put these teachings to Work. Blessings to All

Plead the blood is not in HIS WORD. Let us stay with HIS WORD.

[@OliviaJimenez-ep8ut]

Praise the Lord. Welcome back y'all Watched your Saturday service and cried. I cannot imagine feeling that alone or abandoned My heart breaks for them. Heavenly Father please come to their rescue quickly. I had hoped Biden would follow thru and release the weapons promised them If for no other reason Not to curse our nation But I know they Are God's chosen people and HE Will step in at the appropriate time and deliver them When that time comes WOE are we that Did Not stand for God and with HIS people God Has Not Left or Forsaken Them. He is watching us to see how we are supporting Israel. If we are against Israel we are against Jesus/Yeshua Who Was Born a Jew from the line of David. Wake up world you Will get your come uppance God bless Israel peace for Jerusalem. Amen.

Yes we are I will not work harder to.gain my reward for or earning my reward . But to give back as I learn I can not out give God .

[@michaelgreene1149]

Pastor Allen is very, very unique in his ministry. His gift from God is greatness but demanding. His congregation is so blessed to have him. Greater is his audience outside his church. I live in Washington State and listen to everything he posts online. A large part of the world is blessed by Pastor Allen Jackson. I wish I could have retired in Tenn. close to the church. What a blessing. God Bless Allen and the Church of Jesus Christ at World Outreach. Wish I were there.

[@reginahildebrand3272]
