Jesus describes the Church as “salt” and “light” in the world. If the darkness in our nation and culture is going to be dispelled, it’s because we turn up our light. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the current attitude of the American Church. We’ve been asleep, but God is moving in the earth, and we need to be prepared for what’s ahead. Pastor Allen teaches from Matthew, chapter 7, to demonstrate the importance of bearing fruit—reflecting the Holy Spirit at work in our lives through our actions, words, and priorities—and doing God’s will. The good news is we can equip ourselves with His spiritual armor, and we can rely on God’s strength to carry us through.
