Johnson Ferry Sermons

This week, we see Jesus enter the wilderness, where He is tempted for 40 days. As we explore the ways Jesus faced temptation, we are reminded of the temptations we face in our own lives. Unlike Adam, Jesus, the perfect Son of God, overcomes temptation and remains faithful to the Father. Through His victory over sin, we are reminded that we, too, can resist temptation through Him.

This week, we look at the life of John the Baptist as he calls the Jewish people into the wilderness to be baptized, preparing the way for Jesus and His coming ministry. Through John's message, we explore the relationship between repentance and the fruit it produces, learning that while our good works do not save us, they serve as evidence of genuine repentance and a transformed life.

As we continue journeying through the Gospel of Luke, we find Jesus as a young boy at the temple. Even at a young age, Jesus knew exactly who He was and why He had come. This week, we'll explore how understanding Jesus' identity helps us better understand our own identity in Him.

As we begin a new sermon series walking through the Gospel of Luke, we start by asking some important questions: Who is Luke? Who is Theophilus? Throughout this series, we'll explore the life and ministry of Jesus, uncovering key themes and stories that help us better understand His character and mission and answer one central question: Who is Jesus?

This week, we wrap up our Forward Together series and recommit to the vision God has given Johnson Ferry. As we look at 2 Corinthians 9, we’re reminded that generosity is about more than what we give. It’s about faithfully sowing, stewarding what God has entrusted to us, and continuing in the good work He has called us to, all for His glory and to make much of Him.

This week, we continue our Forward Together series as we look at what can hold us back from generosity and what true, biblical generosity looks like. Together, we’ll discover how generosity flows from a heart that treasures God, recognizes His provision, and desires to be part of what He is doing.

This week, we begin a new but familiar series, Forward Together, as we revisit our two-year vision for the future of Johnson Ferry and consider how we can continue to faithfully steward all God has entrusted to us. Clay begins by leading us toward a biblical view of generosity.

This week we welcome Johnson Ferry’s Founding Pastor Bryant Wright as he bookends our Handcrafted series with message on finishing strong in life’s callings. We look to Hebrews 12 and see that God calls us all to a higher calling to make his name known and how we can finish strong as God calls us to different things in different seasons.

As we wrap up our sermon series, Handcrafted, Pastor Clay takes us to Acts 22 and the story of Saul’s conversion. Through his story, we’ll discover five distinct ways God uses every part of our story for His purpose and how nothing in our lives is ever wasted in His hands.

Whose need can you not ignore? Our calling is shaped not only by our gifts, but also by the people around us and the burdens God has placed on our hearts. Today, Pastor Clay takes us to Nehemiah, where we see how God used the needs of the people around him and the burden he felt for them to shape his calling.

God has gifted each of us with unique gifts, talents, and abilities to further His Kingdom here on earth and has given believers spiritual gifts that we cannot fully use apart from Him. This week, Pastor Clay walks us through how God has equipped us for the calling He has placed on our lives and how we can use what He has given us to glorify God and make His name known.

Work is not simply what we do to earn a paycheck. It is an opportunity to glorify God and reflect His beauty and character to a watching world. This week, we look at what it means for our work to become worship as we explore the story of Bezalel and the way God called and equipped him to use his gifts for His glory.

This week, we continue our new series, Handcrafted, as Pastor Clay explores what it looks like to grow in maturity and sanctification through every stage of life. By asking the question, "What is Jesus asking me to do now?", we fins how to faithfully steward the unique gifts, callings, and roles God has entrusted to us in every season.

This week, we kick off our brand-new series, Handcrafted, all about God's unique purpose for your life. God has uniquely gifted you with talents, relationships, experiences, and a story that He desires to use for His glory. As we look to Ephesians 2, we'll discover that we are God's workmanship, created with purpose, and begin exploring how to discern the unique calling He has for each of us.

This week, we wrap up our summer sermon series, The Story Of..., as we look at Jesus' parable of the prodigal son and his brother. In Luke 15, we see the striking contrast between these two brothers and discover what their choices reveal about God's heart, grace, and our own response to Him.

This week, we continue our The Story Of... series as we look at the life of John the Baptist. In Matthew 3, we see John's commitment to living by the truth, no matter how difficult the message. Like John, we are called to prepare the way, point others to Jesus, and live with the hope that He is coming again.

This week, we continue our The Story Of... series with Jonah. It's easy to focus on the great fish, but the real story is about God's relentless pursuit of people. Through Jonah's life, we'll discover practical lessons on making disciples, responding to God's call, and trusting His providence every step of the way.

This week, we enter the story of an older Daniel as he faces the lions' den. We are reminded that faithfulness is not only about how we start, but how we finish. Daniel holds fast to his convictions and trusts God even when he does not understand the plan, pointing us to the truth of the gospel.

This week, we enter the story of David, the future king of Israel, as he faces Goliath, the giant warrior of the Philistines. Through thisnstory, we are reminded that the spiritual life is often a battlefield. Victory is not determined by our strength, size, or abilities, but by the greatness of the God who fights for us.
