• Groaning for the New Body
    2025/08/13

    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.

  • The Hidden Power of Suffering: Why Christians Don't Lose Heart
    2025/08/05

    In this powerful and sobering sermon, Pastor Jeffrey Johnson unpacks 2 Corinthians 4:16–18 to confront the reality of human mortality and the Christian's hope beyond death. With both candor and compassion, he reminds us that while our outer selves waste away, our inner selves are being renewed daily. Using vivid illustrations and heartfelt personal stories, Johnson explains how afflictions—though real and painful—are light and momentary when compared to the eternal weight of glory they are producing for those in Christ.

    This message dives deep into the paradox of the Christian life: death working in our flesh is the very means by which spiritual life and renewal are cultivated. Johnson outlines six encouraging truths about the benefits of dying in Christ, including how suffering renews our souls, sharpens our vision of eternity, and detaches us from the fleeting pleasures of this world.

    For anyone facing aging, sickness, or discouragement—or simply longing for a more eternal perspective—this sermon offers rich biblical comfort and a call to live by faith in the unseen, imperishable realities of God’s promises.

  • What Paul Knew About Evangelism That We’ve Forgotten
    2025/07/29

    In this heartfelt and powerful message, Pastor Jeffrey Johnson unpacks 2 Corinthians 4:1–6 with a dual focus: to equip believers in how to evangelize faithfully, and to evangelize everyone present—whether saved or unsaved. With bold honesty and gospel-centered urgency, Pastor Johnson emphasizes the necessity of remaining optimistic, honest, faithful, and humble in our witness, reminding us that our ministry is one of mercy, not merit.

    In this heartfelt and challenging message, Pastor Jeffrey Johnson explores the vital themes of discipline in both parenting and the church. Preaching from 2 Corinthians 2:5–11, he reflects on the biblical necessity of discipline, not as a punishment rooted in anger, but as a redemptive and loving correction essential for growth, order, and maturity.
