Sermons by Paul Johnson
Paul is a founding pastor at Living Hope Church in Rochester, MN
Does Jesus change this too? – Philemon
Paul probably wrote Philemon at the same time as Colossians so we’re packaging it together. It is a personal letter applying a theme from Colossians that I think has great application for us today! See you Sunday!
False Fronts – Colossians 2:4-23
Paul fought for the maturity of his readers but they were distracted and diverted by several false goals. Are we drawn to the same traps or are there other pitfalls we slip into?
What are we fighting for? – Colossians 1:24-2:2
Paul writes next about his fight, detailing his immense struggle and what it’s all for. Are we fighting for the same things or have we been drawn into distraction?
Acts: The Pattern
We’ve spent the last 10 months looking at the details of Acts. Let’s pull back this Sunday for one more week and figure out what it actually changes about our lives.
Christmas eve
In a season that easily slips into crazy commercialism, people pleasing, or just plain darkness let’s return to the true spiritual peace that is found only in Jesus.
Finality – Acts 20:17-38
Paul sees dear friends one last time and has a whole letter worth of encouragement and exhortation. Let’s learn from his example, warning, and generosity.
Pushing People – Acts 18
In Acts we see lives changed and people pick up the responsibility to carry the message on. Can that be “The Plan”? What does that mean for me and my life?
It’s an Upside Down World – Acts 17:1-15
Paul and Silas are accused of turning the whole world upside down. What does this do to our world? See you Sunday!
Bold Steps – Step #4: Connect
God has good for us through relationships but how do we access that? We want and need close friends but that’s easier said than done. Let’s look at the relationships God calls us to in his word and how to build them.
