Understanding Our Present Time [Looking for Spiritual Direction]

About this sermon

➡️ To know where we’re going, we need to understand our present location. There is COVID-19, violence, censorship, lawlessness, blatant sexual immorality, and our Christian world views and values are mocked publicly. What do we do? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson encourages us to look to Scripture for direction. He highlights several heroes from the New Testament, and identifies consistent patterns and themes in their lives. Jesus recruited young people; He invited His disciples to a new kind of life; He asked them to “leave behind” many things; They were persecuted. God was at work during the many hardships and struggles our heroes endured, and He is working today. Their stories will encourage and equip us, as we continue to follow Him. ❇ A message from Pastor Allen Jackson at World Outreach Church in Murfreesboro, TN January 10th, 2021 - Understanding Our Present Time 📳 Follow Along!
