It's easy to get worked up about denominational differences, religious traditions, or government parties, but when we focus instead on submitting to God's fundamental truths in our homes, His expressions of power become evident. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses obedience at our kitchen tables. He shares the story of the Exodus generation and the first Passover meal, where the Hebrew slaves found deliverance through obedience and a family meal. God's presence made all the difference for those families that day, and we too can invite God into our lives when we gather to share a meal with loved ones. How we use our kitchen tables begins to determine the spiritual authority over our homes, so let's decide to give God that place.

Obedience to God takes daily, intentional effort. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses recognizing the spiritual authority over our homes and how we can show obedience to God through hospitality. As we can see from the ministry of Apostle Peter, it's not always easy to yield to God, but following His guidance for our lives brings transformation and extends His Kingdom. Pastor Allen also talks about the kitchen table as an expression of spiritual authority over our homes—who or what takes precedence in our households? We must decide for ourselves if we will yield to the daily demands and pressures of this world or if we will choose to obey the God who created us and cares for us.

What roles do our kitchen tables play? Are they surfaces to collect mail, lunchboxes, and odds and ends as we move through our day, or are they gathering spaces where we can be nourished physically and spiritually? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses how we can establish God as the spiritual authority in our homes through hospitality and our kitchen tables. If we want to see change in our households, it will require intentionality and commitment to new habits. Nobody's family is perfect, but the good news is the God we worship is in the restoration business—He can fix anything we've messed up or Satan has destroyed. Obedience can be uncomfortable at first, but saying "Yes" to God's invitations for our households can change the destiny of our nation.
