Johnson Ferry Sermons

As we continue our series, The Story Of…, we'll follow the Israelites as they leave Egypt and discover what their journey reveals about God's character. Through their story, we're reminded that God never abandons His people, works for their good, and faithfully pursues them with a plan to bring them back to Himself.

This week, we take a deeper look at the story of Jacob, Rachel, and Leah, focusing on Leah and her response to the pain of being unwanted and overlooked. Leah's story reminds us that God sees us in our pain and accomplishes His purposes even in the most difficult seasons. As we walk through her story, we'll discover how God uses pain and suffering to fulfill His promises and carry out His will.

This week, we enter a story that foreshadows God's faithfulness to His covenant and ultimately points us to Christ. We see Abraham's remarkable trust in God, even when he couldn't understand what God was doing or why He was asking it of him. Through this story, we're reminded that God is always faithful to His promises and that He is working all things together for the good of those who love Him, even when we cannot yet see His plan.

This week we kick off our brand new sermon series, The Story of..., where we’ll take a closer look at some of the Bible stories many of us grew up hearing. This Sunday, Executive Pastor of Disciple-Making and Programs, Adrian Coetzer, takes us to Genesis 11 to explore the Tower of Babel and what happens when people seek to build a name for themselves instead of glorifying God.

We serve a God who is all-powerful and eternal, holding the whole world in His hands. This week, Pastor Clay wraps up our sermon series through Ecclesiastes by taking us through chapter 12 and reminding us of the duty of man and the sovereignty of God. As we fear God, obey His commands, and trust Him with our lives, we become more like Him.

Where there is risk, there is reward. Part of living in a fallen world is that we must take risks, and sometimes we will get burned by them. This Sunday, Pastor Clay takes us to Ecclesiastes 11, where we’ll see how we can faithfully approach risk, uncertainty, and the places where we don’t have control as we follow God.

Pain is an inevitable part of the human experience. We will feel pain, be affected by pain, and be changed by pain. In this episode, Pastor Clay takes us through Ecclesiastes 7 and reminds us of the faithfulness of the God we serve. Even in the midst of suffering, God is greater than our pain, greater than our circumstances, and always good.

Death is an inevitable reality of the human existence, but we do not need to be afraid of death! This week, our Pastor of Worship & Arts Bobby Smith takes us to Ecclesiastes 9 to remind us the truth abut death and exhort us to face the truth of death knowing that death is not the end of the story.

Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. This week, Pastor Clay walks through Ecclesiastes 5, where Solomon explores the love of money and its empty promises. We are reminded that while money will never truly satisfy, it can still be used as a tool for good.
