In this powerful and sobering message, Pastor Jeffrey Johnson unpacks 2 Corinthians 7:10 to help us discern the critical difference between true and false repentance. Drawing a clear line between godly grief that leads to salvation and worldly sorrow that leads to death, Johnson explores biblical examples such as Esau, King Saul, Judas, and King David to illustrate how emotions like guilt and remorse aren't enough to save a soul.

Through vivid exposition and pastoral insight, he identifies the key traits of false repentance—selfishness, partiality, and destructiveness—and contrasts them with the marks of genuine repentance—godliness, comprehensiveness, and purification. This sermon is a heartfelt call to examine our hearts, turn from sin not merely in behavior but in spirit, and cling to the mercy and grace of God offered in Christ.

If you've ever wondered whether your repentance is real or simply a response to consequences, this sermon will challenge and encourage you. Listen in and be reminded that salvation is not just about sorrow—it’s about transformation.

In this heartfelt sermon, Pastor Jeffrey Johnson unpacks 2 Corinthians 7, where the Apostle Paul vulnerably appeals to the Corinthians to restore their strained relationship. Despite being falsely judged, criticized, and emotionally distanced by the church he once deeply served, Paul models a radical, Christ-like response—one marked by tenderness, forgiveness, and an open heart.

Pastor Johnson challenges us to reflect on how we respond to criticism, betrayal, or relational wounds. Through Paul’s example, we discover five powerful, grace-driven steps to pursue peace and reconciliation—even when the other person hasn’t repented. Whether it's a broken friendship, a wounded marriage, or tension in the church, this message calls us to reject bitterness and embrace the humility, gentleness, and supernatural love that Christ Himself displayed.

If you're struggling with unresolved hurt or navigating difficult relationships, this sermon offers both conviction and healing, pointing us toward the freedom found in letting go and loving like Jesus.

In this powerful and deeply personal sermon, Pastor Jeffrey Johnson challenges believers to examine the relationships that shape their spiritual lives. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 6:14–7:1, he unpacks the biblical command to avoid being unequally yoked with unbelievers—not just in marriage or dating, but in close friendships, partnerships, and influences that subtly draw our hearts away from God.

Using vivid imagery from both the Old and New Testaments, Pastor Johnson emphasizes that believers are the temple of the living God, set apart for holiness. He offers three compelling reasons for separating from close associations with unbelievers: they can separate us from God’s people, from God Himself, and from His ways. With heartfelt urgency and gospel-centered clarity, he calls all listeners—especially young people—to repent of worldly entanglements and pursue a life of holiness, fueled by the promises of God and reverence for His presence.

Whether you're struggling with relationships that hinder your walk or seeking to grow deeper in your faith, this message will encourage and convict you to prioritize your communion with Christ above all else.
