Summary
God has blessed us abundantly, and He has also entrusted us with great responsibilities. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the many gifts God has poured over us and our assignment to use our voices to proclaim and uphold our biblical worldview. To know what we stand for, we need to become more familiar with God's Word and accept its authority in our own lives. Instead of merely knowing Bible stories, it's important to understand the story of the Bible. Pastor Allen offers a simplified explanation of the first several books of the Bible, showing how they relate to us and our world today.
