Shaping Culture [One Home at a Time]

About this sermon

➡️ When we practice hospitality like God directs us to, He can change the course of history. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses how we can shape culture by opening our homes and being receptive to God’s instruction. He shares from the history of the early Church and how apostles like Peter and Paul practiced hospitality in ways that furthered God’s mission in the earth. Pastor Allen also relates the history of World Outreach, starting with his own family’s willingness to open their home to gathering, and he tells stories from the life of Corrie ten Boom, whose family’s hospitality saved over 800 lives during World War II. It’s rarely convenient to share your kitchen table with the community, but by practicing hospitality, we join with God in extending His Kingdom. ❇ A message from Pastor Allen Jackson at World Outreach Church in Murfreesboro, TN - October 8, 2025 - Shaping Culture [One Home at a Time] 📳  Follow Along!
