In this powerful and deeply reflective sermon, Pastor Jeffrey Johnson takes us back to 2 Corinthians 1:19–20 to explore the profound truth that in Christ, God's answer is always "Yes." Through vivid illustrations and heartfelt teaching, Pastor Johnson contrasts the world's constant "no"—no peace, no fulfillment, no lasting joy—with the unchanging "yes" we find in Jesus.

We are reminded of our utter dependence on God, the futility of searching for contentment in ourselves or the world, and the deep need we have for grace. Pastor Johnson masterfully unpacks how every promise of God finds its fulfillment in Christ, offering us not just temporary relief but eternal hope, peace, and joy.

Whether you’re feeling lost, burdened by guilt, or striving for satisfaction through religion, relationships, or success, this message invites you to the only source of true rest—Jesus Christ, who never turns away those who come to Him. This sermon will lead you to worship, not by your works, but through the finished work of Christ.

In this heartfelt and deeply instructive sermon, Pastor Jeffrey Johnson unpacks the Apostle Paul's response to harsh and unfair criticism from the Corinthian church—a church he had planted and served sacrificially. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 1:12 through 2:4, Pastor Johnson highlights Paul's godly approach to being misunderstood, misjudged, and personally attacked by those he loved.

Pastor Johnson explores the pain of being criticized, especially by those close to us, and challenges believers to respond not with retaliation or withdrawal but with sincerity, integrity, and love. Through Paul's example, we learn seven key ways to respond to unfair criticism: with sincerity, pure motives, gospel-centeredness, unity, kindness, unselfishness, and above all, love.

This message is a powerful encouragement for anyone facing criticism, offering both theological depth and practical wisdom for maintaining Christlike character under pressure. A must-listen for anyone navigating difficult relationships within the body of Christ.

In this powerful message, Pastor Jeffrey Johnson explores 2 Corinthians 1 and introduces what he calls "The School of Affliction"—a divine seminary in which every believer is enrolled. Unlike traditional academic settings, this school teaches through suffering, trials, and hardships, where God Himself is the instructor. The goal? Not mere intellectual knowledge of theology, but a deep, experiential understanding of God's comfort, mercy, and presence.

Pastor Johnson outlines seven transformative courses in this school: Theology Proper, Biblical Counseling, Christology, Practical Ministry, Personal Piety, Faith, and Prayer. Through these, believers come to know God intimately—not just as a concept, but as a personal refuge and source of strength in the darkest hours. This affliction, though painful, shapes believers into compassionate, humble, and faithful ministers who can comfort others with the same comfort they’ve received from God.

Whether you're in a season of peace or deep suffering, this sermon encourages listeners to see trials not as setbacks but as God’s way of drawing them closer to Him and equipping them to serve others. The message is a heartfelt call to embrace God’s refining work, trusting that through affliction comes genuine faith, tested character, and the sweet reality of God’s sustaining grace.

In this deeply pastoral and heartfelt sermon, Pastor Jeffrey Johnson addresses those enduring prolonged seasons of trial and silence from God. Drawing from Isaiah 30 and other scriptural references, he encourages listeners with the powerful truth that God's silence is not absence. When we hear nothing, God is still speaking — and His message is often a single, challenging word: "Wait."

Pastor Johnson unpacks ten profound truths embedded in this divine call to wait, reminding us that God's timing is perfect, and His delays are purposeful. From cultivating patience and endurance to trusting in His sovereignty and awaiting a greater deliverance, each point offers comfort and clarity for the weary soul. Whether you're in the midst of suffering, feeling abandoned, or questioning God's presence, this message will strengthen your faith and renew your hope.

This sermon is a must-hear for anyone needing reassurance that God sees, hears, and is actively working — even in the silence.

In this powerful conclusion to the book of Ruth, Pastor Jeffrey Johnson unpacks the climactic fourth chapter as a rich allegory of the Gospel. Highlighting Boaz as a clear type of Christ, our kinsman redeemer, Pastor Johnson shows how this real-life love story foreshadows the redemptive work of Jesus. From Boaz’s legal integrity and strength to his gracious restoration and lasting legacy, the sermon draws deep spiritual parallels between Old Testament events and the New Testament Gospel.

Pastor Johnson emphasizes that Christ did not bypass the law—represented in the sermon as "Moses Law"—but fulfilled it entirely, purchasing our redemption legally, righteously, and at great personal cost. Through Christ’s obedience, sacrifice, and grace, believers are not only redeemed but restored to eternal inheritance. This message ultimately invites worship and gratitude for the incomparable glory of our Redeemer, Jesus Christ, who alone has the power to give life to the dead.

In this powerful message from Ruth chapter 3, Pastor Jeffrey Johnson speaks directly to the heart of anyone battling despair, depression, or hopelessness. Drawing from the turning point in Naomi and Ruth’s story, he reveals how hope is rekindled through God's Word, prayer, our Redeemer, and the Holy Spirit. Pastor Johnson shares raw and personal testimony of his own struggles with suicidal despair, connecting it to Ruth's journey from emptiness to hope through God's providence and grace.

This sermon emphasizes that true hope is not found in circumstances but in the promises of God. Through the symbolic actions of Ruth and the kindness of Boaz, Pastor Johnson illustrates how God's plan redeems even the darkest seasons. If you've ever questioned whether joy can return or whether God sees you in your pain, this message will point you back to the sure hope found in Christ alone.

Whether you're in a storm or walking with someone who is, this sermon is a timely reminder: the Redeemer is near, and He will not leave you empty.

In this heartfelt message from Ruth 2, Pastor Jeffrey Johnson reminds us that even when we are burdened by guilt, shame, and fear, God's response is not rejection—but welcome. Like Ruth, who sought refuge under the wings of the Redeemer, we are called to run to God, not away from Him. Pastor Johnson shares eight powerful reasons why we should bring our sins directly to the Lord: He will not turn us away, He will protect us, provide for us, speak kindly to us, satisfy our souls, lavish His grace upon us, never reproach us, and fully redeem us.

Through personal stories and deep biblical reflection, Pastor Johnson paints a vivid picture of the overwhelming kindness and mercy of God. Whether you are struggling with ongoing sin or simply need encouragement to draw near to Christ, this sermon is a tender call to find rest, forgiveness, and satisfaction under the wings of our Redeemer.

Listen in and be encouraged to run—without delay—to the gracious arms of our Savior.

In this profound sermon, Pastor Jeffrey Johnson explores the deep significance of Romans 4:25, reminding us that our hope and joy are firmly rooted in the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Pastor Johnson challenges us to shift our eyes off ourselves and onto the empty tomb, recognizing that Christ’s resurrection is not just a miraculous event, but the ultimate proof of the gospel’s power. The mystery is not that Jesus, the innocent and righteous Son of God, rose from the dead—this is expected for one without sin—but that He died at all. How could one without sin face death, when Scripture clearly states that the wages of sin is death? The answer lies in the incredible truth of double imputation: our sins were legally and spiritually transferred to Christ, and His righteousness has been transferred to us.

Using vivid and relatable illustrations—a ruined golf scorecard exchanged for a perfect one, a debt-ridden bank account replaced with infinite riches, a guilty defendant receiving a spotless record—Pastor Johnson brings home the heart of the gospel message. He emphasizes that Christ's death is the undeniable proof that our sins were imputed to Him, while His resurrection is the glorious confirmation that His perfect righteousness is now imputed to us. Without the resurrection, we would have no assurance that our sins were truly paid for or that we could stand justified before a holy God.

Pastor Johnson carefully walks us through the gravity of our sinfulness, laying bare the complete and overwhelming record of our guilt before God. He invites us to imagine standing before the divine Judge, facing every commandment we have broken, every sinful thought and deed exposed. Yet, he points us to the incredible hope that because Jesus bore our sins and rose victorious from the grave, our shameful record has been fully wiped away. Through Christ, we are not merely forgiven but declared righteous, clean, and accepted.

The resurrection is the proof of the "great exchange": Christ took our place, bore our guilt, and suffered our punishment so that we could receive His life, His innocence, and His eternal inheritance. Pastor Johnson closes with a heartfelt invitation: no matter the weight of your past sins or the shame you carry, you can be completely forgiven today. You can walk in freedom, assured that your record of sin is nailed to the cross and buried forever. Through faith in Christ, you are made new, justified, and able to approach God not in fear, but in the perfect righteousness of Jesus Himself.

This sermon is a rich and stirring reminder of why the resurrection is central to our faith, a call to rejoice in the forgiveness and freedom we have in Christ, and an invitation to everyone to experience the full assurance of salvation.
