Listening & The Kingdom of God | Pastor Allen Jackson

➡️ In this season of turmoil, antagonism, and demonic assault, we must become world-class listeners to the voice of God. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses how we can strengthen our listening skills through habits like daily Bible reading, prayer, and building an awareness of spiritual movement. He teaches from the Gospel of Luke and shows how when Jesus met rejection and discomfort, He didn’t retreat, but modeled how to boldly persevere, have difficult conversations, and share God’s Truth—no matter the consequences. The United States has a Christian heritage, and it’s time for the American Church to wake up, embrace it, and protect it. Today’s culture may try to convince us otherwise, but the only One who can change the destiny of our nation is Almighty God.
