In this compelling sermon, Pastor Jeffrey Johnson unpacks Psalm 85:6, where the psalmist prays, "Will you not revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you?" With a deep yearning for revival in our churches, souls, and communities, he emphasizes the extraordinary power and presence of God working through the ordinary means of grace: prayer, preaching, worship, and the Word.

Pastor Johnson defines revival as a supernatural manifestation of God's Spirit, sovereignly transforming lives. He contrasts true revival with shallow emotionalism, urging us to recognize that lasting change, conversions, and spiritual renewal come only through the Spirit's work. This message challenges believers not to fall into passivity or despair over God's sovereignty but to respond with fervent prayer, faithful evangelism, and deep belief in the Spirit's power.

The sermon outlines three actionable steps for those longing for revival:

Pray—Beseech God for the Holy Spirit's work in personal lives and communities.
Evangelize—Share the Gospel boldly, trusting the Spirit to use your words.
Believe—Have faith in God's promises and His power to save and sanctify.
Pastor Johnson calls for a posture of humility, dependence, and persistence in prayer and action. He reminds us that revival cannot be manipulated but must be earnestly sought, always pointing to the ultimate hope found in Jesus Christ.

This message is a stirring call to seek God wholeheartedly, labor for the salvation of the lost, and trust in His sovereign work to revive hearts and churches for His glory.

In this compelling message, Jeffrey Johnson dives into James 4:2, challenging us to reflect on the mystery and power of prayer. Drawing from the verse, “You have not because you do not ask,” Pastor Johnson addresses common doubts and excuses that hinder prayer, such as misunderstandings about God’s sovereignty and our own limitations.

The heart of the sermon lies in 11 motivating reasons to pray. Pastor Johnson reminds us that prayer is both a command and a privilege, offering believers communion with God, increased faith, and the opportunity to participate in His divine work. Prayer not only aligns our hearts with God’s will but also brings joy, emboldens faith, and glorifies Christ. Through vivid examples, including the persistent prayers of George Müller, the sermon emphasizes the transformative power of consistent, faith-filled prayer—even when answers seem delayed.

Johnson’s message is an urgent call to action: recognize the power of prayer in accomplishing God’s purposes, seek Him boldly, and experience His blessings. Whether for revival, daily needs, or the salvation of loved ones, prayer is the channel through which God works mightily in our lives.

This sermon is a powerful reminder to not grow weary in prayer and to embrace it as a vital, life-changing practice that glorifies God and brings us closer to Him.

In this impactful sermon, Pastor Jeffrey Johnson explores the biblical foundation of praying in accordance with God’s will, drawing from 1 John 5:14-15. He encourages believers to approach prayer with confidence, emphasizing that God hears and answers prayers that align with His divine purposes. Pastor Johnson contrasts this with the dangers of prosperity gospel theology, exposing its false promises of health and wealth in exchange for faith and financial contributions. He warns against treating God like a genie, reminding believers that prayer is about submitting to God’s will, not demanding our desires.

Pastor Johnson outlines three principles for effective prayer: praying submissively, persistently, and dogmatically. For uncertain matters, he urges believers to submit to God’s wisdom, trusting that He knows what is best. For requests clearly aligned with Scripture, he calls for persistent, fervent prayer without losing heart. Lastly, he encourages believers to pray dogmatically when claiming God’s promises, standing firm in faith that God will fulfill what He has pledged in His Word.

Throughout the sermon, Pastor Johnson highlights the transformative purpose of prayer—not to change God’s will but to align our hearts with His perfect plan. He assures listeners that prayers rooted in faith and submission to God’s will are powerful and effective, leading to spiritual growth and deeper intimacy with the Lord. By holding firmly to God’s promises, such as assurance of salvation, forgiveness of sins, and provision of wisdom and grace, believers can approach prayer boldly, knowing God’s answers will always work for His glory and our good.

This message is a call to pray with humility, faith, and confidence, persistently seeking God’s will in every area of life. Pastor Johnson reminds us that through prayer, we experience God’s transforming power and the joy of His presence, even amid life’s challenges.

In this powerful and heartfelt sermon, Pastor Jeffrey Johnson launches a new series focused on deepening our prayer lives in 2025. Reflecting on personal struggles and victories in prayer, Pastor Johnson challenges listeners to evaluate their time with God and to pursue meaningful communion with Him.

Drawing from James 4:8—"Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you"—this message emphasizes that prayer is not just a duty but a delight. Pastor Johnson explores the common obstacles to prayer, including busyness, worldly distractions, lack of faith, and spiritual fatigue, and encourages believers to rediscover the joy of God's presence.

Key themes include:

Cultivating a hunger for God over worldly pleasures.
Viewing God as both a loving Father and a holy King.
Praying to know God deeply and to be known by Him through honesty and vulnerability.

In this powerful and practical sermon based on 1 Corinthians 16:5-14, Pastor Jeffrey Johnson offers biblical wisdom on how to plan for the future while trusting God’s guidance. As we approach a new year, this message provides seven principles to help believers make thoughtful, faith-filled plans aligned with God’s will.

Key Themes and Insights:
1. Make Plans with Purpose – Pastor Johnson emphasizes that it’s not unspiritual to set goals and make plans. Drawing from Paul’s example, he highlights the importance of having direction and aspirations to foster discipline and avoid distractions.
2. Submit Plans to God – While planning is good, Johnson reminds us to hold our plans loosely, always acknowledging God’s ultimate control and sovereignty (James 4:13-15). Trusting God eliminates anxiety about the future.
3. Focus on Today’s Opportunities – Faithfulness in the present prepares us for the future. Johnson encourages believers to steward the current opportunities God has provided rather than becoming paralyzed by uncertainty.
4. Face Opposition with Faith – Challenges and adversaries are often signs that God is at work. Instead of fleeing from resistance, we’re called to stand firm and persevere (verse 9).
5. Don’t Go It Alone – God designed us for community. Johnson stresses the importance of working with others, seeking wise counsel, and sharing the load in ministry and life decisions.
6. Be Strong in Faith – Planning requires courage and reliance on God. Believers are called to act with strength and maturity, trusting God’s faithfulness in every circumstance.
7. Let Love Motivate Your Plans – Finally, all plans should be guided by love for God and others (verse 14). Johnson challenges listeners to avoid selfish ambitions and instead pursue goals that glorify God and serve others.

Final Encouragement:
Pastor Johnson concludes by encouraging listeners to trust God with their future, make wise plans, and walk forward in faith and love. He reminds us of Psalm 20:4—“May God grant your heart’s desires and fulfill all your plans.”

This sermon is a timely call to step into 2025 with confidence, humility, and reliance on God, knowing that He is faithful to direct our paths.

In this powerful message, Jeffrey Johnson unpacks Paul's heartfelt prayer in Ephesians 3:14-19, focusing on the ultimate Christian longing: to be filled with the fullness of God. Drawing from Paul’s prayer, Johnson explores the profound idea of experiencing a deep, transformative relationship with God—a revival of the soul where God's presence fills every part of our being, leaving no room for the world.

He outlines four essential steps for encountering God and cultivating personal revival: prayer to the Father, the power of the Holy Spirit, faith in Christ, and being rooted and grounded in love. Revival, Johnson explains, is more than intellectual knowledge or external rituals—it’s a personal, felt experience of God’s glory and love that transforms hearts and lives. Through prayer, we humble ourselves, recognizing our dependence on God as the source of all blessings. By the Spirit’s power, our hearts are fortified to bear the weight of God's glory. Faith allows us to see and trust the unseen Christ, while love grounds us, enabling us to comprehend the immeasurable dimensions of Christ’s love.

Johnson calls believers to reject dry, indifferent religiosity and instead pursue a vibrant, experiential walk with God. True revival, whether personal or corporate, begins with fervent prayer and results in a life overflowing with faith, love, and joy. He reminds us that God's riches are infinite, and we can never exhaust the depths of His love.

This sermon challenges us to seek more of God, praying to be filled with His fullness and transformed by His presence. Let it inspire you to pursue deeper faith, greater love, and a closer walk with Christ.

In this sermon, Pastor Jeffrey Johnson explores the grace of giving, urging believers to embrace generosity as an act of worship, obedience, and trust in God. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 16:1-4 and 2 Corinthians 8-9, he reflects on Paul’s instructions to the Corinthian church to support the impoverished saints in Jerusalem, emphasizing that giving is a reflection of divine grace at work in the believer’s heart. Pastor Johnson highlights four key reasons for giving: it is an act of worship that acknowledges God’s provision, an act of obedience to His commands, a safeguard against withholding what belongs to God, and a demonstration of trust in His provision even in times of scarcity.

The sermon answers three vital questions about giving: why, when, and how much. Believers are called to give as an expression of their faith and love for God, to give regularly and in response to needs, and to give proportionately, generously, and sacrificially, as exemplified by the widow’s mite and the Macedonian churches. Pastor Johnson encourages believers to view giving as a joyful privilege, a way to glorify God, and an opportunity to grow in grace, just as we strive to excel in faith, knowledge, and love.

Through this message, Pastor Johnson challenges us to shift our perspective on giving—from obligation to joyful response—trusting that God will meet all our needs and use our generosity to build eternal treasures. This sermon serves as a reminder that giving is a tangible expression of our worship and a way to reflect God’s abundant grace to others.

In this thought-provoking sermon, Pastor Jeffrey Johnson expounds on 1 Corinthians 15, emphasizing the profound significance of the resurrection for our faith, purpose, and hope. He begins by highlighting the pervasive impact of sin on the world—bringing decay, suffering, and death to everything it touches. Against this backdrop of impermanence, Pastor Johnson reminds us that the resurrection of Jesus Christ provides the essential conclusion to human history and the ultimate solution to sin's curse.

The resurrection assures us of three key truths. First, it is the gateway to fully entering the Kingdom of God. Our mortal, perishable bodies must be transformed into imperishable ones to inherit this eternal, heavenly kingdom. Second, it secures Christ’s complete victory over sin and death. By fulfilling the law and overcoming sin's power, Jesus’ death and resurrection grant believers new life and the promise of their own resurrection. Finally, the resurrection gives meaning to our work and lives in the present. Because of the eternal hope of the resurrection, none of our labor for the Lord is in vain.

Pastor Johnson calls listeners to steadfastness, urging them to dedicate their lives to eternal investments. He reminds us that every act of service, no matter how small, is remembered and rewarded by God. This perspective inspires hope and purpose, motivating believers to live for eternity rather than the fleeting pursuits of this world.

The sermon concludes with a heartfelt exhortation: live for Christ wholeheartedly, rid yourself of idols, and embrace the eternal treasures found in seeking God’s kingdom. The resurrection not only offers future glory but also transforms how we live and serve today.
