Big Trouble Ahead: The Battle with Discouragement

About this sermon

➡️ God’s people are battling against discouragement—the loss of courage. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses three common reactions to our current culture. Christians are either pressed and distressed; unaware and unconcerned; or listening and obedient to God. He discusses the differences in these responses and encourages us to personally reflect on where we are, versus where we would like to be. He offers proactive steps we can take to move toward the Lord and refresh our courage, so we can be salt and light to our generation. ❇ A message from Pastor Allen Jackson at World Outreach Church in Murfreesboro, TN - June 2, 2021 - Big Trouble Ahead: The Battle with Discouragement 📳 Follow Along!
