Pastor Steve Johnson teaches us, to Persevere, Overcome and Be Victorious. From the Book of Revelation, the 3rd Chapter. On March 16th, 2025 God's Word is Truth!

“For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them."  (Ephesians 2:10)     You are the crown of God's creation! He has taken great care in uniquely designing you. And the way in which God has crafted you determines what He intends for you to do. You have been created in Jesus with purpose and significance in His Kingdom, to do good works every day for His glory.   And this Sunday, we will see that Scripture tells us those everyday good works have consequences in the kingdom to come. What we do, how we do it, and why we do it are all going to be considered by God on a day when we, as Christians, will stand before Him.    The New Testament is clear that a day is coming when you and me and all believers must all appear before the “Bema” – what many call the “judgment seat of Christ” (2 Cor 5:10). In New Testament times, the bema was a raised platform used by the judges in the Greek games. Athletes would “appear” before the bema after completing their events, where the judges would ensure they competed according to the rules and then award the prizes for winning.     The issue at the Bema of Christ will not be our eternal destiny. That's been settled by the death of Jesus on the cross for your sins. As Paul says in Romans 8:1, “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." Again, in Ephesians 1, he makes it clear that, “In him (Jesus) we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace.” This is not a judgment which will determine whether we get into heaven or not.   So, what's at stake? The good works we have done as Christians. It will be an assessment (not a judgment in the way we normally think) of our stewardship for Jesus. When we stand before the Bema of Christ, our faithful service to Him will be evaluated and rewarded. Jesus will assess our every thought, motive, and action. And then He will reward us for all that we have done for His glory.   Most likely, you've never heard of the Bema of Jesus. The thought of being “judged” certainly seems unsettling. On Sunday, we'll unpack it and see that it's really more like the celebration at a graduation, complete with rewards.     Until then, be the light so others will see your good works and glorify your Father Who is in heaven!

When we trust God with the entirety of our lives God leads us through the most exciting and adventurous life, we could ever image.

“Where shall I go from your Spirit?  Or where shall I flee from your presence?  If I ascend to heaven, you are there!  If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there!” (Psalm 139:7-8)   As we come to Genesis 26, we find what amounts to a short narrative of Isaac's life. It's interesting that, even though Isaac lived longer than any of the other patriarchs (180 years), less is recorded about him than any other. Genesis 26 is really the only chapter dedicated to his life. Isaac's story in the first part of the chapter reminds us eerily of Abraham's "adventure" in Genesis 20. Both faced a famine, both traveled to the land of the Philistines, both lied about their wife, and both had to deal with Abimelech (who might be a particular king, or simply the title of the king of the Philistines at the time). But Genesis 26 is not a simple repeat. What jumps off the text are the two visits from Yahweh Himself, the reiteration of the blessing promised to his father, Abraham, now upon Isaac and his offspring, and most of all, the praise and reality of God's presence throughout Isaac's ups and downs. Three times God makes it clear – He will be with Isaac in the future (vs. 3), He is now with him (vs. 24), and He has already been with him in the past (vs. 28). We don't talk about it a lot, but the reality is that, like with Isaac, God has, is, and always will be with you in every moment and in every situation to protect, bless, and help you. And how you respond to His presence has everything to do with how you will live your life. On Sunday, we'll see how God's presence changed Isaac's life, and how it can change yours!   Until then, be encouraged with these words from the Psalmist:   In your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

Today, Pastor Steve, continues our series entitled Times & Seasons! The question is not whether God is our Father, the question is are we, His children? Hope you enjoy this message by Pastor Steve Johnson titled What Kind of Father is God?

What does the Bible say about the signs we see today in the world around and how are we to respond? What does the Bible say about how followers of Jesus should respond when the world around us is crumbling? We hope you will enjoy this message by Pastor Steve Johnson, titled The Times We Live!

God is always calling us to come closer and draw nearer to Him. The question we have to ask is are we quieting ourselves are we listening, hearing and quieting our world enough to hear Him calling. In this message by Pastor Steve Johnson we will look at how Jesus is progressively calling His followers near and how He wants us to respond.

God often uses certain seasons in our lives where He forms brokenness in our hearts. When we set our hearts on God, He uses the brokenness to draw us to new levels of prayer and worship. We hope you will enjoy this message by Pastor Steve Johnson.

Jesus’ purpose and mission is undeniable, and so is ours. Jesus came to seek and safe that which was lost through a clear presentation of the gospel, and now it’s our time to present this message to the world; that He came to protect us, forgive us and to set us free from sin and death. We hope you will enjoy this message by Pastor Steve Johnson and that it will change your life!

Change is usually a progression in the direction you are intentionally trying to go. But sometimes change is the response to what you are dealing with. We have all had a lot of change in our lives over the last few months, change that none of us were intentionally trying to go, but change due the unforeseen and unexpected pandemic. In a post pandemic world, which of these changes do we want to get rid of and which do we want to keep? Pastor Steve Johnson explores this question in this message, Pressing On!

Today's Pentecost Sunday and Pentecost carries different connotations to people, of which one is revival. Pastor Steve shares from his heart today how we need to stir our hearts toward Jesus. We hope this message by Pastor Steve Johnson titled Jesus, People and the Church will encourage you to be like Jesus!

The Easter Story, from Jesus’ Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem to His Resurrection is the most powerful and impactful story in the history of the world. In this story we see that Jesus died, was buried and raised from the dead, but the story doesn’t end there, He was also seen by over 500 witnesses that Jesus Is Alive. We hope you enjoy this illustrated message by Pastor Steve Johnson.

In times like these it’s easy to grow weary and weak, but we need to be reminded that God is our strength and He has purposed us to win through all life’s challenges. We hope this message by Pastor Steve Johnson titled Strength for the Day will encourage you to find your strength in Jesus today!

The last couple of weeks have been a pretty crazy time in all our lives. We’ve had to quickly reassess what’s important in our lives and have learned one of the keys to survival is FOCUS. We hope you enjoy this message, Three Keys To Empowered Focus by Pastor Steve Johnson.

Everyone loves a good Rags to Riches story, about people overcoming the odds and rising above obstacles and limitations. The truth is that some of the greatest opportunities in life come out of crisis. God specializes in these types of stories, we hope you enjoy the message, Out of the Ashes by Pastor Steve Johnson.

Vision is so important the Bible says “Where there is no vision the people perish.” Knowing where we’ve come from and where we’re at is important, but knowing where you’re going is crucial. Our hope is through this message by Pastor Steve Johnson you’ll clearly see where God is leading us and come along as we set our sites on the One Thing.

"As followers of Jesus what is it that sets us apart? What makes our lives different from the rest of the world? What do others look at in us and say, “I want that” or “I want to be like that.” Pastor Steve Johnson addressing these questions in this message titled, 'Marked By Jesus!'”
