In this fourth message from the series Jesus the Healer, Darrell Johnson guides us through one of the most tender and powerful moments in the Gospel of Matthew (Matthew 9:18-26). In the midst of the valley of the shadow of death, two very different people—a grieving father and a chronically ill woman—reach out to Jesus. What happens next reveals the heart of Jesus Christ: his compassion and his authority. Through this encounter, Darrell helps us see how faith is formed in the crucible of suffering, and how Jesus always responds to faith, even if it comes hesitantly or late. "Faith in the Valley" is a call to bring our brokenness to Jesus and discover that even the words “incurable” and “dead” are not the last word when He is near.Darrell's BooksGive to the Ministry of Darrell Johnson—Subscribe to Darrell's Mailing ListWebsite | darrelljohnson.caYouTube | youtube.com/darrelljohnson
In this powerful episode, Darrell Johnson takes us into one of the most dramatic stories of Jesus' ministry: the stilling of the storm and the freeing of two demonized men in the region of the Gadarenes. Drawing from Matthew 8, Darrell emphasizes one unshakable truth: Jesus Christ has authority over every force that seeks to undo us. Through Scripture, theological reflection, and a gripping personal story of spiritual deliverance, this message reminds us that “one little word shall fell him.” Jesus still speaks, still sets captives free, and has entrusted His church with that same authority.The Bible CourseDarrell's BooksGive to the Ministry of Darrell Johnson—Subscribe to Darrell's Mailing ListWebsite | darrelljohnson.caYouTube | youtube.com/darrelljohnson
The second message in the series Jesus the Healer, Darrell walks us through a moment in Matthew's Gospel when Jesus heals Simon Peter's mother-in-law. But the healing is not just about her fever — it's about Jesus fulfilling the ancient words of Isaiah: “He himself took our infirmities and carried our diseases.” Darrell explores what it means that Jesus not only takes sickness seriously but actually takes it into himself, ultimately carrying it to the cross. This message unpacks the layered mystery of Isaiah 53, Jesus' compassionate touch, and the holistic healing work of the Kingdom of God breaking into our world.Darrell's BooksGive to the Ministry of Darrell Johnson

In this series, Jesus the Healer, Darrell Johnson explores moments when Jesus steps into human brokenness and brings the healing power of the Kingdom of God. Whether touching a leper, restoring sight, or responding to desperate cries, Jesus reveals both His authority and compassion. These messages invite us to bring our own wounds to Him—the One who is still willing and able to heal.Teaching from Matthew 8:1–4, the first message is titled If You Are Willing. Darrell invites us to behold a moment of shocking grace and transforming power as he walks us into the valley where Jesus, fresh off the Sermon on the Mount, meets a man ravaged by leprosy. With profound compassion and unquestionable authority, Jesus reaches out, touches the untouchable, and declares, “I am willing. Be clean.” Darrell unpacks what this act tells us about the Kingdom of God, the nature of Jesus, and what healing looks like for us today—body, soul, and society. This message calls us to trust, to hope, and to bring our brokenness boldly before Jesus, knowing that He is both willing and able.Spring IntensivesDarrell's BooksGive to the Ministry of Darrell Johnson—Subscribe to Darrell's Mailing ListWebsite | darrelljohnson.caYouTube | youtube.com/darrelljohnson

In this Easter Sunday message, Darrell Johnson leads us into the heart of the Gospel: resurrection. Preaching from 1 Corinthians 15, Darrell declares the staggering truth that Jesus Christ has been raised—never to die again. Through personal reflection and pastoral depth, Darrell explores what it means for Jesus to be the “first fruits” of the new creation, and why death no longer has the final word. This message is both a trumpet of hope and a call to fearless living. “O death, where is your victory?” Because of Jesus, it's nowhere to be found.Spring IntensivesThe Bible CourseDarrell's BooksGive to the Ministry of Darrell Johnson—Subscribe to Darrell's Mailing ListWebsite | darrelljohnson.caYouTube | youtube.com/darrelljohnson

Darrell reflects the transformative power of Jesus Christ, as experienced by the Apostle Paul on the road to Damascus. He begins with a personal reflection on his summer, including the passing of his mother and the privilege of preaching at her memorial service. This serves as a backdrop to the main theme: the life-changing encounter with Jesus, leading to eternal life. The sermon highlights five key truths that Paul learned from his encounter: Jesus is alive, Jesus is Lord, Jesus and his followers are inseparably bound, God's grace, and Jesus' pre-existing hold on Saul. Darrell emphasizes the importance of recognizing and surrendering to Jesus' lordship and grace, urging us to allow the light of Jesus to shine in our lives and transform us.Darrell's Books: www.darrelljohnson.ca/booksGive to the ministry of Darrell Johnson: www.darrelljohnson.ca/donateMailing List | www.darrelljohnson.ca/#subscribe-formWebsite | darrelljohnson.caYouTube | youtube.com/darrelljohnson

He explores Jesus' ministry of preaching, teaching, and healing, emphasizing that the same Spirit that worked through Jesus is still living and active in the church.

Week 9 | Who is Jesus? | The Stronger Man Freedom from fear of death. The ability to plunder the gates of hell and save souls for God's Kingdom. These are what Jesus says we as believers have, because of who he is. But how do we know this is true? Continuing in his series “Who is Jesus?”, Darrell focuses on Mark 3 where Jesus establishes himself to be stronger than the one who causes pain and suffering in this world, whom Jesus has now bound. Darrell first highlights the importance of having an accurate worldview to view this claim- one that includes not just the natural world but the supernatural as well. Then, he talks about Jesus' discernment of causes of, and remedies to, suffering. Finally, as believers, we hear what this means for our assurance of eternal life, and our ability to carry out Jesus' mission of spreading the word of his salvation.

Week 8 | Who is Jesus? | Listening to the Father Say Who Jesus Is In this sermon, Darrell continues to examine who Jesus is. Who does God the Father say Jesus is? Enabled by the Holy Spirit, the author of Hebrews hears God speaking to and about Jesus in the Old Testament. Through these texts, we see that Jesus is higher than the angels—and therefore the one sufficient mediator between God and humanity. He's eternal and unchanging. He's God's Son. He is God.

Week 7 | Who is Jesus? | The Light of the World On the eighth day of the feast of tabernacles Jesus, in the treasury of the temple, makes a cosmic claim about who he is: “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life” (John 8:12). Taking us into the context of this passage, Darrell illuminates the layers of cultural meaning of Jesus making this claim, in this place, on that day. As those who seek to follow Jesus, Darrell unpacks several implications of this claim. Because Jesus is the light of the world, we are not in the dark about who God is, what it means to be truly human, the troubles of our world, where to find healing. Instead, as we walk with the One who is the light of life, Jesus colours our vision of reality anew, enabling us to truly see.

Week 6 | Who is Jesus? | I AM the Bread of Life In our sermon today, we will study Jesus' claim: I AM the bread of life. Contentment and satisfaction run against the grain of a society that's fixed on always getting more. In this episode, we are reminded of the one who can bring us true satisfaction that goes beyond the temporary, the one who calls himself the bread of life. Teaching from John 6:22-40, Darrell unpacks the significance of the miracle Jesus performed, multiplying loaves of bread and fish. This miracle is more than physical provision it points to the spiritual provision of God that happens daily. To receive this, we are called to seek him and in this seeking, we find that Jesus sustains us with himself.

Week 5 | Who is Jesus? | Finally. A True Human In this episode, Darrell Johnson explores the profound connection between Hebrews 1 and 2, describing these passages as one of the most eloquent sermons we'll ever encounter. He reveals how these chapters showcase a dialogue where God speaks about and to Jesus, and Jesus, in turn, speaks to and about God. Johnson emphasizes that God's love for us is so deep that He became one of us, embodying the perfect human we were meant to be. This is why we feel an irresistible pull towards Jesus of Nazareth—He represents everything we aspire to be. To trust Him is to worship Him.

Week 4 | Who is Jesus? | Jesus Baptizes IN and WITH the Spirit In this episode, Darrell Johnson explores the profound mystery of Jesus, the subject of more books and songs than any other figure in history. We delve into the perspective of John the Baptist, the last prophet to announce Jesus and the first to witness Him in the flesh. Johnson emphasizes that understanding Jesus is crucial, as everything hinges on Him, and all answers come from Him. Through John's passionate declaration, we see Jesus as the God of Israel and the Creator who comes to fulfill a vital mission. Join us to uncover why knowing Jesus is so pivotal and what His mission means for us.

Week 3 | Who is Jesus? | Darrell Johnson left a promising academic career in science and instead devoted his life to preaching Jesus, driven by his love for the Lord. But at first, one assumption deeply troubled him: the New Testament writers and the Church claim Jesus is God in human form, but did Jesus himself ever make that claim? Darrell retraces his research in John's Gospel to show that is exactly who Jesus says he is. He illuminates the context of Jesus' words and actions, precisely linked to the rest of Scripture, to reveal that “I am He”, and tells us why this is ultimately the best news anyone can ever hear.

Week 2 | Who is Jesus? “Son of Man” was Jesus' favourite way of referring to Himself. Darrell explores where the term originated, what it meant to first-century Jews, and why Jesus' use of it outraged the religious leaders and confused His disciples. What, then, are the practical implications for us today? As the Son of Man, Jesus has final authority over all life. Knowing this puts our own lives in perspective and we are faced with a decision: will we risk everything to follow Him?

Week 1 | Who is Jesus? | “Who do you say that I am?” It's a question Jesus asks each of us. If we are going to become like Him and follow where He leads, we need to know who our Rabbi is. In this new series entitled Who Is Jesus, Darrell takes us through the New Testament to hear and see who Jesus reveals Himself to be. Beginning to answer that question, we will open this series turning to John's Gospel and learn what it means that Jesus is the “Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world”. In this sermon, Darrell unpacks the text word by word, revealing the hope of this news - that we can change through the power of Christ's victory. Our role is simply to yield - to be honest, come clean and throw the whole of ourselves on Jesus. http://ccln.ca/giveNew Course on Genesis: https://darrell-johnson-courses.thinkific.com/courses/genesis-1-11-the-story-that-makes-sense-of-our-stories The Bible Course: https://biblesociety.ca/thebiblecourse/ Darrell's Books: www.darrelljohnson.ca/books Give to the ministry of Darrell Johnson: www.darrelljohnson.ca/donate Mailing List | www.darrelljohnson.ca/#subscribe-form Website | darrelljohnson.ca YouTube | youtube.com/darrelljohnson
This week, we revisited our interview with Darrell Johnson. Darrell has built expertise in the healthcare industry, identifying how data systems may be applied to improve patient outcomes, decrease healthcare utilization costs, and increase provider care delivery efficiencies. His passion centers on not simply bringing technologies to market but the successful implementation and utilization of these technologies within the entire healthcare system, including patients. He has utilized his marketing and business skills for over twenty years to identify and develop transformational business models across multiple healthcare industries, including pharmaceutical, capital equipment, implantable therapy devices, and medical software. Darrell is the Chief Strategy Officer at RLDatix, a global SaaS healthcare company aiming to improve quality, safety, and risk outcomes. Before RLDatix, Darrell spent three years as Cerner's first Chief Marketing Officer and the global EHR leader and twelve years in various leadership roles with Medtronic, the largest medical device company in the world. Darrell is passionate about driving brand leadership and usability experience. He built the world's largest remote monitoring system that has over 1.5 million lives being monitored across 78 countries, with strong evidence reflecting the impact on both clinical and economic outcomes. With his vision of engaging patients, his team also developed the world's first patient smartphone application for personal device management. His efforts consistently resulted in number-one brand positions globally. Prior to joining Medtronic, Darrell worked at GE Healthcare in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, for approximately eight years and held several key management and marketing positions. His data systems passion resulted in many firsts at GE Healthcare, including centralized remote monitoring, smart alarms, and a wireless digital portable x-ray technology. All of these technologies had significant value impact in improving clinical outcomes and improving care delivery efficiencies. Darrell holds a bachelor's degree in economics and mathematics from the University of Minnesota and an MBA from the Carlson School of Management, University of Minnesota.
Throughout the Gospels, we hear stories of Jesus finding time to be alone with His Father to pray. So much so, that His disciples grew curious about the nature of prayer and the kind of relationship Jesus had with the Father. Teaching from Luke 11:1-13, Darrell unpacks the prayer and the parable that Jesus offers His disciples in response to their question - ‘how do we pray'? Through a Western mindset, this story is often misunderstood, but as Darrell takes us into the cultural context of the parable, we start to see what Jesus is doing in this story. We not only find how to pray, incredible encouragement to pray as Jesus did with full trust in the goodness of the Father.

Discipleship Series | Week 8 | As disciples of Jesus, we are a continuation of God's work that began in the Old Testament. In this passage, Peter uses Old Testament imagery to describe Jesus' disciples as God's own people, a chosen race, God's temple, and a royal priesthood. Being priests, we have privileges and responsibilities, including direct access to God, making spiritual sacrifices, interceding for others, and conveying God's touch and words of blessing to people in our circles of influence. Darrell exhorts us to imagine the difference we could make if we embraced our identity as disciples.

Discipleship Series | Week 7 | The Parable of the Great Banquet shows Jesus' great joy as He invites people to follow Him into His Kingdom, as well as His great disappointment when people make excuses not to come. Our excuses reveal our idols and our doubts about God's Kingdom and Jesus' character. Jesus continues to invite us but will not do so forever. The banquet will go on with or without us. Darrell challenges us to verbalize our excuses, come to the table, and allow God to melt them away.

Discipleship Series | Week 6 | In this sermon, Darrell teaches from Mark 10:17-31 where we find the encounter between Jesus and the rich young ruler. The text invites us to ask ourselves: Who's disciple will I be? Who's final authority will I submit to in my life? Holding Christ's love and desire for this young man's good at the forefront of our minds, Darrell takes us through this challenging text and asks us to be intentional about the work of being and making disciples of Jesus Christ.

Discipleship Series | Week 5 | In this sermon, Darrell shares about the cost of being a disciple of Jesus. It is a decision that takes you on a narrow road that leads to liberation in Christ. Following Jesus does not result in life-draining stress, but when we read scripture like today's text in Luke 14:25-33, it helps us to see that following Jesus doesn't always mean choosing a path in life that is easy. Darrell unpacks the way the weight of discipleship is actually an invitation into a relationship, like the one we see between Jesus and the Father, where we find trust, intimacy, and joy.

We are weary because we wear yokes of lust, anger, revenge, and envy. Why is the yoke Jesus offers easy? Because his yoke is his relationship with the Father - to please the Father. The yoke he offers us is one that has been designed just for us. And we don't wear it alone - Jesus binds himself to us. He says, “Come to me all who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest” New Course on Genesis: https://darrell-johnson-courses.thinkific.com/courses/genesis-1-11-the-story-that-makes-sense-of-our-stories Summer Intensives with The Way College: https://www.thewaychurch.ca/events/summer-intensives-parables-of-jesus-contemporary-worldview-apologetics The Bible Course: https://biblesociety.ca/thebiblecourse/ Darrell's Books: www.darrelljohnson.ca/books Give to the ministry of Darrell Johnson: www.darrelljohnson.ca/donate Mailing List | www.darrelljohnson.ca/#subscribe-form Website | darrelljohnson.ca YouTube | youtube.com/darrelljohnson
Discipleship Series | Week 3 In today's sermon, Darrell highlights how Jesus' baptism, calling and wilderness preparation, initiate his action of calling disciples to make disciples - not just converts or churchgoers - but people becoming disciples - intimately attached to the lordship of Jesus Christ - because He has ‘commanded' us to do this.

Discipleship Series | Week 2 | Jesus' call for us to follow him as disciples may be unsettling to us, because it implies a radical shift of allegiance from something or someone else. It would be natural to ask, “what are we getting ourselves into?” Following the previous episode, Darrell explains that Jesus' promise to his first disciples is the same promise to us today: an ongoing revelation of God's Heavenly kingdom on this Earth that successively transforms our lives into increasing Christ-likeness. Finally, Darrell underscores that this is not a challenge to us to change ourselves- an impossible task given our fallible strength - but instead an invitation to life transformed by God's power alone.

Discipleship Series | Week 1 | In this first episode of our new series on discipleship, Darrell takes us into the Great Commission found in the Gospel of Matthew. Darrell calls the church to take seriously what he calls the Unfinished Agenda of Jesus. He unpacks what this agenda is by referring to the Great Claim and Great Commission found in the passage. He then goes on to describe the 4 marks of a disciple: attachment, intimacy, submission and security and suggests that all disciples are learners who need one another to grow. The task of the church is not to build a bigger church, but to form disciples that can make disciples that can make disciples.

Living As Citizens | Week 7 | In the concluding section of Paul's letter to the Philippians, written from prison in Rome, Paul expressed that he had learned to be content in every circumstance. Darrell unpacks this pure miracle and suggests four secrets of Paul's contentment, each of which involves an attachment. May the Lord give us the grace to have deep contentment in every and any circumstance by attaching ourselves to Jesus Christ.

Living As Citizens | Week 7 | The Lord is near, four words that hold a lot of weight yet bring so much comfort for those to believe in Him. How can we live in a way that reflects this nearness? In this episode, Darrell expands on the five final exhortations and one declaration in Philippians 4: 4-9. We come to see that because the Lord is near, we can live into the vision God has for our lives.

Living As Citizens Of The Land Called Gospel | Week 6 | In this message, Darrell reminds us that the gospel of Christ gives us a new passport as citizens of heaven, which trumps every other passport we may carry. Writing from a prison cell, Paul calls us to live in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ with heaven's priorities, heaven's understanding of power, and heaven's understanding of what it means to be a human being. This should impact how we live our lives as followers of Christ.

Living As Citizens Of The Land Called Gospel | Week 5 | In today's sermon, Darrell takes us into the heart and mind of the apostle Paul's letter to the Philippians. Paul is a person with plenty of ‘wants' - to be freed from prison, a decent meal and sleep, to see the gospel spread and the church united. But in this passage, Paul writes that above anything else, all he ultimately wants is Christ. All that Christ is, and all that Christ wants for him. As Darrell unpacks the text, we see more clearly the person of Paul in Christ, the passion of Paul in Christ and the pathway of Paul in Christ.

Living as Citizens of the Land Called Gospel | Week 4 | How can we adopt the mind of Christ? As we continue in our series Living As Citizens of the Land Called Gospel, Darrell teaches on the call to live in unity we find in Philippians 2:5-11. This call to unity is not a call to conformity, but rather an invitation to the very oneness we see in the Trinity. As we work through the text we see that the path to oneness is to follow Jesus into humility as the gospel frees us from competition and the need to prove ourselves worthy.

In this week's episode, Eric and Brooke host a thought provoking conversation inspired by Darrell Johnson's teaching from his book, “Ephesians: The Wonder and Walk of Being Alive in Christ.” Join them in discussing the Armor of God, the enemy, our role in the real-time spiritual battle that's taking place, and so much more.
Living as Citizens of the Land Called Gospel | Week 3 | In this week's sermon, Darrell examines how Paul suddenly goes from evangelistic success to being falsely accused and awaiting trial for his life in a Roman prison. Frustration, bewilderment and despair would be normal reactions to such a fall from grace, but instead, Paul is able to rejoice even in the face of suffering and death. How is this possible? Darrell unpacks how God used what happened to Paul, through Paul and in Paul to show how God uses all things to further his kingdom both in the world and in our lives. We learn how and why we can therefore face adversity, and tell the world why we want to go on living in Christ.

Living as Citizens of the Land Called Gospel | Week 2 | In this sermon, Darrell delves into the underlying reason for Paul's joy as expressed in the opening chapter of his letter to the church at Philippi. Despite his own imprisonment and news of conflict within the church, Paul is anything but discouraged or fearful. His unwavering confidence in the surety of God finishing the work that God started undergirds his joy and fuels his love and affection for the Philippians. Fully captivated by the gospel of Jesus Christ and fully convinced of God's power to bring the “good work” that He began in his people to completion, Paul instructs his listeners to live boldly in light of the good news of Christ's salvation and the certainty of God's activity. For God only begins what He intends to perfect.

Living as Citizens of the Land Called Gospel| Week 1 | In this first episode of our new series on Paul's letter to the church in Phillipi, Darrell takes us into what we need to know in order to hear his word. Really hear - so as to join the group gathered in a living room in downtown Phillipi. As we listen to Paul's message, we hear his chief reason for writing - to exhort us to live in a manner worthy of the Gospel of Christ (2:27). We hear a call to live lives which are self-evidently shaped by the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Unpacking this exhortation, we can more clearly see an invitation in the text to deeper friendship with one another. It's a friendship that points us to the relationship that's at the centre of everything - between Father Son and Spirit.

A man resurrected from the dead? Really? How is it that we can believe what we read in the Gospels to be true - that Jesus really was raised from the dead? 21st-century skeptics find themselves in good company with people who first heard the Good News. And yet, within months, thousands of people throughout the Roman Empire came to believe that the news was true & their lives were renewed. What happened between skepticism and faith? In this sermon, Darrell teaches from Luke 24:1-11, taking us into the data offered in the New Testament. Through this exposition, we come to see that faith in the Jesus of Easter is a leap of faith, but it is not a leap in the dark.

Total darkness in the middle of the day, rocks splitting, graves opening, the curtain in the temple torn in two - what does it all mean? In this Good Friday message, Darrell teaches from Matthew 27 on Jesus' death. He explains how we can read all of this as a response to Jesus' cry from the cross: “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” that is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”(46). As we work through this passage, we come to see that Jesus suffers this abandonment in our place. Instead, the cry we hear from the cross is “Come - just as you are”. We find that the curtain has been torn and we sinners can press in to the presence of the Holy One through His sacrifice. Hallelujah!

People In Sync | Week 9 | In this sermon, Darrell works through the eighth and final Beatitude of Jesus found in Matthew chapter 5. This beatitude addresses the “persecuted blessed.” To be in sync with Jesus and His kingdom means we can expect to be treated the way Jesus was treated. Followers of Jesus can anticipate opposition, even persecution because they crave right-relatedness with him. Darrell asks, “If the world system, secular or religious, could not handle Jesus doing his gospel - what's going to happen to those who go carry this same message ?” This sermon closes with three words of encouragement in the face of persecution from Jesus, as he promises “theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven” First Baptist Church, Vancouver, B.C. | February 28, 2010 |Matthew 5:3-12 Darrell's Books: www.darrelljohnson.ca/books Give to the ministry of Darrell Johnson: www.darrelljohnson.ca/donate Mailing List | www.darrelljohnson.ca/#subscribe-form Website | darrelljohnson.ca YouTube | youtube.com/darrelljohnson
