• Why Your Weakness Is Your Greatest Strength
    Jan 20 2026

    In this compelling message from 2 Corinthians 11, Pastor Jeffrey Johnson offers a countercultural and deeply biblical approach to boasting. Titled "How to Brag to the Glory of God," the sermon reveals how the Apostle Paul’s “resume” is marked not by accolades, achievements, or human strength, but by suffering, weakness, and dependence on Christ. Paul shows us that true boasting—God-glorifying boasting—focuses not on self-exaltation, but on the power of God revealed in our frailty.

    Pastor Johnson highlights two key points: first, never boast in your strengths, for boasting is both shameful and selfish; and second, if you must boast, boast in your weaknesses. Through detailed exposition, we see Paul list trials such as imprisonments, beatings, shipwrecks, and deep concern for the churches—not to elevate himself, but to magnify God’s sustaining grace. His trials become testimonies to God’s power, not his own ability.

    This message challenges modern views of success and encourages believers to rethink what it means to have a “godly resume.” Whether you're facing setbacks, feeling spiritually inadequate, or wrestling with weakness, this sermon will remind you that God's strength is made perfect in our weakness. The call is clear: boast not in what you’ve done, but in what God has done in you—especially through your most difficult moments.

  • Exposing False Ministers: Not All Who Preach Are Sent by God
    Jan 6 2026

    In this convicting message, Pastor Jeffrey Johnson unpacks the Apostle Paul’s defense of his ministry against false teachers infiltrating the Corinthian church. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 11:7–15, he contrasts the selfless marks of a true minister with the deceitful traits of false apostles.

    Through powerful examples and scriptural insight, this sermon challenges believers to examine their own lives: Is the truth of Christ within you? Are you serving others sacrificially, as Christ and Paul did? Pastor Johnson calls the Church to recognize the marks of genuine faith and to reject superficial religiosity that lacks true transformation.

    Whether you're a church leader or a layperson, this message is a vital call to embrace truth, love, and sacrificial service in a world full of spiritual counterfeits.

  • Are You Drifting from Jesus Without Realizing It?
    Dec 30 2025

    In this heartfelt and timely sermon, Pastor Jeffrey Johnson shares a personal story about how seemingly innocent distractions—like hobbies and interests—can subtly pull our hearts away from devotion to Christ. Using his own recent experience with collecting sports cards as a springboard, he addresses a deeper spiritual issue: how easily Christians can drift from daily devotion, heartfelt worship, and a love for sound doctrine without realizing it.

    Pastor Johnson challenges believers to examine where their affections lie and reminds them that busyness and spiritual neglect often go hand-in-hand. He emphasizes that true revival begins with a return to God’s Word—not just reading it, but studying it, treasuring it, and being transformed by it. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 11, he unpacks Paul’s concern for the Corinthian church, warning them (and us) about being dazzled by outward appearances and smooth talkers while drifting from the truth of the gospel.

    The sermon passionately defends the vital role of doctrine in the Christian life. Doctrine isn’t dry or academic—it’s the foundation of our relationship with Christ, our spiritual purity, and our perseverance in the faith. Pastor Johnson stresses that churches and believers must prioritize sound teaching over superficial appeal. He ends with a call to re-center our lives around the Word, to guard our affections, and to recover the joy of knowing and loving Christ through His truth.

    If your spiritual life has grown cold or routine, this message is a powerful reminder: return to the Word. Return to sound doctrine. Return to Christ.

  • The Most Expensive Gift Ever Given
    Dec 23 2025

    In this powerful Christmas message, Pastor Jeffrey Johnson invites us to reflect deeply on the true cost of the greatest gift ever given: God's only begotten Son. While we often celebrate the birth of Christ with warmth and joy, we must not overlook the immense price paid by God to secure our salvation.

    Drawing from John 3:16, Pastor Johnson walks through four essential truths—the cost of the incarnation, expiation, propitiation, and reconciliation. He reminds us that God's love is not sentimental but sacrificial. The incarnation meant that the eternal Son of God took on human weakness, endured temptation, and ultimately died under the wrath of God—not for the righteous, but for sinners and enemies of God. Jesus was born to die, and through His perfect life and substitutionary death, He removed our sins, satisfied God’s justice, and reconciled us to the Father.

    This sermon is a sobering yet hope-filled call to consider the depth of God's love and the sufficiency of Christ’s work. Whether you feel distant from God or are seeking peace with Him for the first time, the invitation is clear: believe in Jesus Christ, and you will be saved.
