Summary
"The great duty of your life is the pursuit of Almighty God," Pastor Allen Jackson said. "Everything else is secondary to that." In this sermon, Pastor Allen discusses the importance of knowing and understanding the character of God. He shares lessons from history—stories from the Old Testament centered around the life of Joshua, as well as insights on early Church reformers and more contemporary figures—to demonstrate how we can courageously follow our assignments to honor God. Overcoming evil is one of the best ways to please God!
