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.

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.

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.

In this powerful message, Pastor Jeffrey Johnson explores Acts 4:5-12, a pivotal moment when Peter and John stand trial before the Sanhedrin. Just months after Peter's heartbreaking denial of Jesus, he now boldly declares the gospel in the face of severe persecution. What transformed Peter from a fearful denier into a courageous witness? The answer lies in the filling of the Holy Spirit.

Pastor Johnson walks us through Peter’s journey of failure, restoration, and empowerment. He contrasts Peter’s fear before a servant girl during Jesus’ arrest with his Spirit-filled courage before Israel’s most powerful leaders. This sermon highlights that true boldness for Christ doesn’t come from self-confidence but from reliance on the Holy Spirit, who empowers believers with wisdom, love, and truth.

Pastor Johnson challenges us to examine our own witness. Have we ever been silent when prompted to speak for Christ? He reminds us that God gives us opportunities to grow through these tests. To be effective witnesses, we must be filled with the Holy Spirit, which requires prayer and immersion in God’s Word.

This message is a call to boldness, urging us to stand firm for the gospel no matter the cost, proclaiming the truth with love and courage, just as Peter did. A must-listen for those seeking to deepen their faith and their witness!

In this sermon, Pastor Jeffrey Johnson explores the promise and mystery of the glorified bodies believers will receive at the resurrection, as described in 1 Corinthians 15. He likens this transformation to a journey filled with anticipation, comparing it to his past experiences of preparing for trips to Europe. Similarly, Christians can eagerly look forward to their ultimate destination in eternity, with a future that far exceeds human imagination.

Drawing from the Apostle Paul’s teachings, Pastor Johnson addresses common questions: How are the dead raised, and what kind of bodies will they have? Using examples from nature, such as seeds dying to bring forth new life and caterpillars transforming into butterflies, he illustrates how our earthly bodies, sown in weakness and dishonor, will be raised in glory and power. These new bodies will be imperishable, spiritual, and modeled after the resurrected body of Christ.

Key attributes of these glorified bodies include their uniqueness, glory, and immortality. Pastor Johnson emphasizes that while we cannot fully comprehend their nature, they will be perfectly suited for eternal life in God’s presence. Drawing on examples from Scripture, he shares how these bodies will be sinless, powerful, and possibly capable of abilities like Christ’s post-resurrection appearances, such as traveling instantly or even flying.

The sermon concludes with a call to action: since this glorious future is guaranteed, believers should live steadfastly, investing in eternal treasures and abounding in the work of the Lord. Pastor Johnson reminds listeners that their labor is not in vain, as the rewards of resurrection will surpass all earthly sacrifices and expectations.

This sermon is an inspiring reminder of the hope and joy Christians have in the promise of eternal life and glorification with Christ.

In this sermon, Pastor Jeffrey Johnson emphasizes the centrality of the resurrection to the Christian faith and life, rooted in 1 Corinthians 15:29-34. He explains that without the resurrection, Christianity loses its meaning, rendering faith, suffering, and obedience futile. The resurrection not only guarantees our future bodily transformation but also underpins every aspect of our spiritual journey, beginning with baptism and extending to daily self-denial and service.

Pastor Johnson highlights three key points:

1. Baptism's Symbolism: Baptism represents death to the old self and resurrection to new life in Christ. Without the hope of rising with Christ, the act of baptism becomes meaningless.
2. Suffering for Christ: The Christian life involves daily dying to self and enduring hardships for the sake of Christ and others. These sacrifices, Paul says, would be pointless without the resurrection's promise of eternal life.
3. Obedience and Eternal Perspective: A life of holiness and sacrifice is only logical if there is a future resurrection. Christians are called to live not for temporary pleasures but for eternal glory, giving all to Christ as an act of worship.

Pastor Johnson concludes with a challenge: to embrace suffering, relinquish earthly attachments, and live fully for Christ, knowing that the promise of resurrection secures eternal joy and unimaginable riches in the new heaven and earth. The sermon reminds believers that their hope is not in this fading world but in the everlasting life found in Jesus.

In this sermon, Pastor Jeffrey Johnson reflects on 1 Corinthians 15:20-28, focusing on the theme of Christ’s victory over death and the eternal nature of His kingdom. He begins by diagnosing the current state of the world as having a "terminal cancer"—the cancer of sin. This spiritual disease has affected every aspect of human life and institutions, rendering all worldly hopes and reforms ultimately futile. Despite political efforts or societal changes, the root problem remains: death, brought into the world through Adam’s sin.

Pastor Johnson emphasizes that true hope is not found in earthly politics or temporary solutions. He challenges the congregation to recognize that Christ did not come to establish a political kingdom or provide mere hospice care to this broken world. Instead, Jesus came to build a new, eternal kingdom by conquering death itself. Through His resurrection, Christ defeated sin and death, securing the promise of eternal life for those who believe in Him.

The sermon explains the legal concept of imputation: just as all humanity inherited death through Adam’s sin, we inherit life through Christ’s righteousness. Christ’s resurrection is the foundation of our spiritual rebirth and the promise of a future physical resurrection. Pastor Johnson stresses that being part of Christ’s kingdom requires a spiritual rebirth; we must be born again to see and enter this everlasting, spiritual kingdom.

Looking ahead to the end times, Pastor Johnson highlights the ultimate defeat of death when Christ will deliver the kingdom to God the Father. At that point, all enemies—including death—will be destroyed, and the fullness of God’s kingdom will be established. The hope for believers lies in this eternal kingdom, which is pure, sinless, and without end.

Pastor Johnson concludes by urging the congregation to place their hope in Christ’s kingdom rather than in the temporary systems of this world. He encourages a response of faith: to die to self, flee from the fleeting hopes of earthly kingdoms, and seek refuge in Jesus. The message is clear—Christ is the only cure for the "cancer" of sin, and through Him alone can we find eternal life and a place in His unshakable kingdom.

In this sermon, Pastor Jeffrey Johnson explores the theme of resurrection, rooted in 1 Corinthians 15, and its foundational significance to Christian faith. He begins with a compelling question: how much would we give for eternal life? Drawing on both the example of baseball star Ted Williams, who had his body preserved in the hope of future revival, and the recent passing of a church member, Brother Wallace, Pastor Johnson emphasizes our universal desire to escape death. Yet, he explains, while people invest everything in worldly attempts to prolong life, they often overlook the true promise of eternal life found in Christ's resurrection.

Pastor Johnson walks through Paul’s teaching to the Corinthians, explaining how the resurrection is central to the gospel. He details the catastrophic consequences if the resurrection were denied: the Christian faith would be futile, the Bible’s integrity would collapse, and the hope of salvation would vanish. The resurrection is not just an abstract hope; it is the guarantee of forgiveness, transformation, and ultimate victory over sin and death. Using illustrations from Scripture, he emphasizes that Christ’s resurrection is both a promise and a prototype for believers’ future resurrection. The certainty of this hope, he urges, calls believers to surrender everything to God with trust and joy, just as one would trade temporary riches for eternal treasure.

As he concludes, Pastor Johnson challenges listeners, both those in the faith and those uncertain, to consider what they are willing to give up to follow Christ wholeheartedly. He recalls the words of a young church member, Molly, whose profound faith and willingness to entrust everything to God captures the heart of discipleship. In a closing call, he urges everyone to anchor their lives in the resurrection, embracing full surrender to God’s love and sovereignty as the path to everlasting life and true freedom from fear.
