  • How to Experience God
    Dec 17 2024

    In this powerful message, Jeffrey Johnson unpacks Paul's heartfelt prayer in Ephesians 3:14-19, focusing on the ultimate Christian longing: to be filled with the fullness of God. Drawing from Paul’s prayer, Johnson explores the profound idea of experiencing a deep, transformative relationship with God—a revival of the soul where God's presence fills every part of our being, leaving no room for the world.

    He outlines four essential steps for encountering God and cultivating personal revival: prayer to the Father, the power of the Holy Spirit, faith in Christ, and being rooted and grounded in love. Revival, Johnson explains, is more than intellectual knowledge or external rituals—it’s a personal, felt experience of God’s glory and love that transforms hearts and lives. Through prayer, we humble ourselves, recognizing our dependence on God as the source of all blessings. By the Spirit’s power, our hearts are fortified to bear the weight of God's glory. Faith allows us to see and trust the unseen Christ, while love grounds us, enabling us to comprehend the immeasurable dimensions of Christ’s love.

    Johnson calls believers to reject dry, indifferent religiosity and instead pursue a vibrant, experiential walk with God. True revival, whether personal or corporate, begins with fervent prayer and results in a life overflowing with faith, love, and joy. He reminds us that God's riches are infinite, and we can never exhaust the depths of His love.

    This sermon challenges us to seek more of God, praying to be filled with His fullness and transformed by His presence. Let it inspire you to pursue deeper faith, greater love, and a closer walk with Christ.

  • Are You Missing a Key Part of Worship?
    Dec 10 2024

    In this sermon, Pastor Jeffrey Johnson explores the grace of giving, urging believers to embrace generosity as an act of worship, obedience, and trust in God. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 16:1-4 and 2 Corinthians 8-9, he reflects on Paul’s instructions to the Corinthian church to support the impoverished saints in Jerusalem, emphasizing that giving is a reflection of divine grace at work in the believer’s heart. Pastor Johnson highlights four key reasons for giving: it is an act of worship that acknowledges God’s provision, an act of obedience to His commands, a safeguard against withholding what belongs to God, and a demonstration of trust in His provision even in times of scarcity.

    The sermon answers three vital questions about giving: why, when, and how much. Believers are called to give as an expression of their faith and love for God, to give regularly and in response to needs, and to give proportionately, generously, and sacrificially, as exemplified by the widow’s mite and the Macedonian churches. Pastor Johnson encourages believers to view giving as a joyful privilege, a way to glorify God, and an opportunity to grow in grace, just as we strive to excel in faith, knowledge, and love.

    Through this message, Pastor Johnson challenges us to shift our perspective on giving—from obligation to joyful response—trusting that God will meet all our needs and use our generosity to build eternal treasures. This sermon serves as a reminder that giving is a tangible expression of our worship and a way to reflect God’s abundant grace to others.

  • What Gives Life Meaning in a World of Decay?
    Dec 6 2024

    In this thought-provoking sermon, Pastor Jeffrey Johnson expounds on 1 Corinthians 15, emphasizing the profound significance of the resurrection for our faith, purpose, and hope. He begins by highlighting the pervasive impact of sin on the world—bringing decay, suffering, and death to everything it touches. Against this backdrop of impermanence, Pastor Johnson reminds us that the resurrection of Jesus Christ provides the essential conclusion to human history and the ultimate solution to sin's curse.

    The resurrection assures us of three key truths. First, it is the gateway to fully entering the Kingdom of God. Our mortal, perishable bodies must be transformed into imperishable ones to inherit this eternal, heavenly kingdom. Second, it secures Christ’s complete victory over sin and death. By fulfilling the law and overcoming sin's power, Jesus’ death and resurrection grant believers new life and the promise of their own resurrection. Finally, the resurrection gives meaning to our work and lives in the present. Because of the eternal hope of the resurrection, none of our labor for the Lord is in vain.

    Pastor Johnson calls listeners to steadfastness, urging them to dedicate their lives to eternal investments. He reminds us that every act of service, no matter how small, is remembered and rewarded by God. This perspective inspires hope and purpose, motivating believers to live for eternity rather than the fleeting pursuits of this world.

    The sermon concludes with a heartfelt exhortation: live for Christ wholeheartedly, rid yourself of idols, and embrace the eternal treasures found in seeking God’s kingdom. The resurrection not only offers future glory but also transforms how we live and serve today.
