In this podcast, Pastor Jeremy Johnson gives us a powerful sermon on vision with practical ways to confidently take on the New Year. God’s vision in our lives is more than something we can piece together on our own. It can be easy to forget that a “God Vision” is more that just a daydream. Vision without action is a daydream. The Bible says, “For we are God’s masterpiece. He created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.” Ephesians 2:10. Today we walk confidently in that, believing that God knows our destiny more than we do. It takes action, habit and character to get there. We end our year with an expectant heart and are challenged to view ourselves as God’s masterpiece rather than broken pieces put back together again. What are you believing for in the New Year?

The Sunday before Christmas, Pastor Jeremy unwraps a relevant message about the birth of Jesus Christ, and talks about how God gives us presents in unwelcoming packages. Have you ever prayed for growth in your life, and received a trial? Sometimes God gives a present that doesn't look nice to open, but the gift is on the other side of the wrapping paper. Enjoy this podcast by Pastor Jeremy Johnson. 

This weeks podcast is featuring a very special guest, Pastor Banning Liebscher from Jesus Culture in Sacramento, Ca. He shares a challenging word on what it looks like to grow in your faith as a believer. We pray that this podcast inspires you towards your development in this walk of faith. 

Pastor Jeremy Johnson preaches from a passage found in Luke 10:25-27 about the good Samaritan. In their time, the two words "good" and "Samaritan" would never have been paired together because of the generations of racial divide that was between them. This podcast talks about loving your neighbor. Sometimes we try to find loop holes in our love for others, "I'll love you if.." or "I'll love you until this happens". Today with ditch the loop holes, and pursue love in its purest form, modeled by Jesus Christ. 

In this podcast, Pastor Jeremy dives in deeper to the concept of being whole. The text can be found in Matthew 20:1-16. This parable speaks to us so often, because sometimes we feel like we have earned more than we have received. This is a challenging topic, but as we learn, everything from God is a gift. By our actions we have earned death, but God's free gift for us is eternal life. Everything that we have is a gift from God, and the sooner we see that, the sooner we can have an attitude of thankfulness. We hope you enjoy this podcast. 

Pastor Jeremy shares a timely sermon on praising in the promise. Often times in life we find ourselves reaching out to God only when things are not going well. In those moments, Jesus offers us healing, but sometimes we are not living "whole" until we can circle back and praise him in the middle of our promise. 

Pastor Jeremy finishes the Hills and Valleys sermon serious with the Mount of Olives. The Mount of Olives is a place where Jesus often went to pray. However this time was right before Jesus was betrayed, and He knew the difficulty of the process. Our God is a God of the process, not just the promise. Sometimes we must walk through difficult seasons, and troubling processes to get to our promises. While walking through the process, we must have people in our lives that we designated not to just cheer us on, but to support us in our troubling times. However, there is a moment, when we need to seclude ourselves in the presence of God, to find the courage to continue in the process that God designated for us. Enjoy this power sermon form Pastor Jeremy Johnson.

God is not preparing the promise, he is preparing you for the promise. When God speaks something into existence, he speaks to the end, and not the beginning. Just because you are not walking in your blessing, does not mean you are not blessed. In this podcast, Pastor Jeremy Johnson breaks down what it truly means to be blessed by God. 

In this podcast Pastor Jeremy shares how in John 2, Jesus turned water into wine, and how that miracle can apply to our lives. Sometimes we ask God for one thing, and he gives us something else that he is going to use as a miracle. Maybe the thing in your hands today seems minuscule, but Jesus wants to turn that into a miracle. He wants to turn your water into wine. Listen today to this life changing message from Pastor Jeremy Johnson

Spiritual hunger comes from a place of knowing that you need God in your life. Pastor Corey Russell shares a word on what it looks like to be hungry for more of God. Having an appetite for Gods presence. Hunger gets the attention of Heaven. In this podcast, hear how your life can be impacted through the power of spiritual hunger. 

Pastor Corey Russell shares an exciting work on the biblical principles of prayer. The disciples walked with Jesus for three and a half years, and the one thing that they constantly asked was that Jesus would teach them to pray. Prayer changes things, it shifts things in our atmosphere, and without it, we are only as strong as ourself. With God for us, who can be against us. 

Fear is a trick that the enemy has used to try to take our eyes off Jesus since day one. Fear comes to destroy, and it brings friends like doubt, anxiety, and depression to distract us. In Psalm 46 it says that God is our refuge and our strength, always ready to help us in times of trouble. We win by calling out to the One who has already won the victory for us!
The majority of those in the Bible who were called by God were not equipped with wisdom right away. They weren’t famous or influencers, and they weren’t perfect by any means. But God chooses the least qualified and equips them once they say “yes” to His call. Every person is called, and your knowledge or age doesn’t negate that. Anything could come against you and it wouldn’t matter, because God is with you! He will give you the strength and courage you need AFTER you say “yes” to the call. God doesn’t call the qualified; He qualifies the called. Take back what the enemy has stolen from you today, and say YES to the call on your life.

Have you ever started building something, whether a new business, a new house, or even a career...and days, months or even years later, it collapses? Sometimes, we as humans think if we just keep doing a lot, God will be pleased with that. But to God, it isn’t about human DOING, but about human BEING: being in His presence and plugged into God the Father. Your “doing” is distracting you from “being” with God...and ultimately, He just really wants to know us and wants to build with us. And if we’re going to build great things with God, we better build a great foundation in God. In this weeks message Pastor Jeremy Johnson talks about the process of getting to the purpose, and how important it is to trust God in the process just as much as you trust him to fulfill the promise!

Easter Sunday is the ultimate reminder of God’s love for you. He paid the highest price to set you free. Have you ever wondered why Jesus came at the time He did? God lives outside of time, but chose a specific time to send His son to earth. In this special Easter Sunday message, Pastor Jeremy Johnson talks about the mistreating of slaves, and how that represents how the enemy wants to treat us. If a slave was put to death, they were put on the cross naked. If they tried to run away, they would get their legs broken. The only way a slave would be free is if their master died, or if they had their names written in the Roman census book. This sounds pretty familiar doesn’t it? Jesus was crucified naked on a cross while your names were written in the Lamb’s book of life. Jesus took your place as a slave to set you free. He ransomed you with the highest price of His life. Stop going back to the slave market that Jesus saved you from. It is finished! Those three powerful words were followed by another three powerful words - He is risen! Those words are followed by four powerful words - He will come again! Praise God for His promise that it is finished! You don’t have to pay the minimum payment anymore because it is paid in full!

If you live in LA, you might find that you spend more than, or almost as much as you make. You might be living paycheck to paycheck, struggling to make ends meet, and emptying your bank account out to pay your bills. Whether you’re married or single, using your money strategically is the smartest thing you could do. In this weeks podcast Pastors Jeremy and Christy Johnson share some of the ways they have been able to be good stewards of their money, and some things to always be mindful of when spending money. Like pastors have mentioned many times in this series, anything you bring into marriage un-dealt with WILL be magnified in marriage, that includes money!

Most people have at one point or another created a timeline for their lives. When you were younger you probably thought, “I’ll be married in my early 20’s, already have my career established, start having children, retire early, and live happily ever after.” Maybe your timeline looked a little different, but at some point in your life you’ve probably had certain expectations for your future. It’s natural to think about how your life will play out, and to hope for certain things at certain times. Well, what happens when you pass that time you were supposed to already be married, or supposed to already have children? Maybe you get upset and think God forgot about you. The truth is, God has an appointed time for everything and everyone! Today, Pastors Jeremy and Christy Johnson share their testimonies of how faithful God is in His own timing. God hasn’t forgotten about you; He’s just waiting for the perfect time to fulfill certain things in your life! When you say yes to God, you can’t miss it. He will always direct your path if you seek Him. There are no flaws in God’s timing!

 We know those people who are referred to as “pessimists”; the ones who always see things in a negative light, and the one bad thing outweighs the good for them. You probably know a lot of people like that, and maybe you are even like that yourself. Don’t be ashamed, because you’re not alone. Some people are hardwired as negative, BUT that’s where you have to make the choice to be POSITIVE! In this weeks message Pastor Jeremy Johnson sheds some light on negativity and how we can retrain our mind to stop those negative thoughts before they even get there! God commands us to have joy, it’s not a suggestion it is not an option! It’s not going to be easy. It will be a sacrifice that takes time and patience, but once you’ve figured out the key, it makes life’s problems seem so small in comparison to Gods greatness!

We’ve probably all heard the verse Proverbs 4:23 so many times: “Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.” It is so widely known, but it is also so valuable, and many times, it is a difficult thing to do. You must also guard your marriage, your family, your finances, your health, but above all, you need to guard your heart. Your heart determines where you go in life, what you want to do, and the course of your life. If your heart isn’t healthy, the rest of your life isn’t going to be healthy. In this weeks message, Pastors Jeremy and Christy Johnson open up about the foundations of their relationship and marriage, as well as how we can better guard our hearts!

This world is filled with people who have a desire for more. What you have never seems to be enough. You will probably even find that many children have this desire, too. You give them a piece of candy or a toy, and they instantly want another one. The reason being what it says in Ephesians 4:19: “Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, with a continual lust for more.” They lost their sensitivity to the things of God and gave in to the things of this world. The good thing is that God gave you that desire on purpose so you can desire more of Him, but it is your job to redirect your desires toward Him. In this podcast we learn how God has already given us all we need to be whole, and whether in our singleness or married life, He wants us to live our lives fully in Him.

Super bowl Sunday, a day many people look forward to every year. It comes only once a year, but the preparation and time put into it takes the entire year for the players. Even the players who probably won’t step foot onto the field still practice and train just as hard, so that on the off chance someone gets hurt, they are fully ready to step in. That is how we should be in our lives, preparing and training for the place we want to be, so when God calls, we are ready. Prepare as if you are already there. In this weeks podcast, Pastor Jeremy Johnson gives us insight on how The Bible is full of sports and battle references, and how there can only be one winning team. The good thing is, you already are on the winning team! Jesus won the victory and you get to share in it with Him!

As a church, this year we are shifting to another level, and maturing in Christ. As you mature and grow, you have to allow God to come into your heart and heal the things that you’ve held onto for so long. It is not going to be easy, and it’s going to be painful as the words and wounds are being ripped away to make way for healing. Make time to sit with the Lord. Make time to eat with the Lord. He wants you to be excited about what you are reading in His word, and to actually eat and digest what you are reading. In this message, Pastor Jeremy Johnson takes a dive into Psalms 141: 1-3. Our tongues have the power of life and death, we have to guard what we say and what goes out into the atmosphere. We learn more about the original lamb sacrifices before Jesus became the ultimate sacrifice. God wants you to be a living sacrifice for this world and to stand in the gap for the people around you. Take time today to pray specifically for the things you’re believing for, and you will see breakthrough!

All too often we find ourselves asking God for more. Whether it’s money, time, friendships, or material things, our flesh needs more! What if God is just waiting for us to look at what we already have, and ask Him what He wants us to do with it. Those who are faithful with little will be faithful with a lot, that rule applies to everything in our lives! In this message Pastor Jeremy Johnson gives us a new perspective on a story everyone in church has heard, Mark 6:30-44, the story of Jesus multiplying the fish & loaves. We often look at the miracle and think about how wonderful it was, but we miss the steps Jesus took in between. Let’s start praising God before we see the miracle happen, before we have enough, and watch multiply it to more than enough!

What better way to kick of the new year with cleansing not only our bodies but our spirits through fasting! In the Bible, we can see that men and women of God fasted to spend time seeking God. Life gets busy and our hearts can get cluttered, so fasting is a time to clean out our spirits and helps us refocus on God. Even Jesus took time to get away with God and fast. Why shouldn’t we? In this message, pastor Jeremy Johnson teaches us how to say no to our flesh, and realign our spirits to step into everything the Lord has for us this year!
