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.

In this powerful and sobering sermon from 2 Corinthians 6:3–13, Pastor Jeffrey Johnson reflects on the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk, honoring his bold witness for Christ and challenging the church to consider why God takes such voices so early. Using the Apostle Paul’s example, Pastor Johnson urges believers to examine the marks of true spiritual leadership—great sacrifice, endurance through trials, spiritual fruitfulness, and unwavering love even when rejected or misunderstood.

This message is a heartfelt call to action for the church in a post-Christian culture. With urgency and vulnerability, Pastor Johnson calls on believers to mobilize, speak the truth of the gospel without shame, and model the selfless, sacrificial love of Christ and Paul. A stirring encouragement for anyone desiring to live a life of eternal impact—no matter the cost.

Do you ever feel like God is angry with you—even as a believer? In this powerful and theologically rich sermon, Pastor Jeffrey Johnson unpacks one of the most essential verses in Scripture: "For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him" (2 Corinthians 5:21). With clarity and depth, Johnson addresses the heart-level struggle many Christians face: feeling condemned, guilty, and distant from God even though they know they are justified.

This message tackles the profound mystery and challenge of substitutionary atonement—how the innocent Christ could bear the wrath of God in place of the guilty, and why that is not only just but necessary. Drawing on historic theological debates and alternative atonement theories, Johnson makes the case that divine election is the key to understanding how Christ's sacrifice truly secures our righteousness. It’s not make-believe or a legal fiction—Christ actually bore our sins, and His perfect righteousness has been legally and lovingly imputed to us.

This sermon will leave you with a deeper assurance of your salvation, a greater love for Christ's work on the cross, and a renewed confidence that in Christ, God delights in you—fully, eternally, and without any trace of condemnation.

In this sermon, Pastor Jeffrey Johnson unpacks Paul’s words in 2 Corinthians to show that every believer is called to be an ambassador for Christ. God has chosen to speak through redeemed people, entrusting us with the ministry of reconciliation. As ambassadors, our duty is not only to proclaim the truth but to persuade, to share, to plead, and to serve as God’s mouthpiece, urging the world: “Be reconciled to God.”

Pastor Johnson emphasizes both the fear of the Lord and the heart of God as motivations for this calling. He reminds us that ambassadors must reason with others from the Scriptures, proclaim the message entrusted to them, and sincerely plead with the lost on Christ’s behalf. The heart of the gospel is clearly seen in verse 21: our sin transferred to Christ, and His perfect righteousness given to us by grace through faith. With personal stories of providential gospel conversations, he shows how God opens doors when His people faithfully speak His Word.

The sermon closes with an urgent appeal from Scripture: “Now is the favorable time… now is the day of salvation.” God is making His appeal through His ambassadors even today. The question is—will you respond?

In this powerful sermon, Pastor Jeffrey Johnson challenges the worldly standards we often use to determine our value and identity. Preaching from 2 Corinthians 5:11–17, he contrasts the fleeting approval of man with the eternal opinion of God. Through vivid illustrations and deep scriptural insight, Johnson shows how our true worth is not found in appearance, performance, or public opinion—but in our identity as new creations in Christ.

Drawing from the Apostle Paul's defense against superficial judgment, the message redirects our focus toward what truly matters: God's opinion, the condition of our hearts, and a life driven by the love of Christ. Whether you're struggling with self-worth or tempted by worldly metrics of success, this sermon offers a liberating perspective: your value is rooted in the gospel, not the flesh.

This message is a heartfelt call to live for Christ, not for self-glory or societal validation. It's a reminder that in Christ, the old has passed away—and the new has come.

Pastor Jeffrey Johnson reminds us that while our earthly bodies waste away, believers can live with unshakable courage because a far greater reality awaits us. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 5:1–6, he explains that our groaning in this life—through pain, sickness, and the effects of aging—is not a hopeless despair, but a longing for the perfect body God has prepared.

This future body will be heavenly (crafted by God, not from the dust), spiritual (perfectly suited for our redeemed souls), and eternal (free from decay, filled with life in Christ). Johnson urges us to see beyond the visible, temporary world and fix our hope on the unseen, eternal kingdom—where heaven and earth will be made one and faith will give way to sight. Until then, the Spirit within us is both our guarantee and our motivator to live faithfully, courageously, and with our eyes on eternity.
