Sermons by Paul Johnson (Page 3)
Paul is a founding pastor at Living Hope Church in Rochester, MN
The Wrong Stuff – 1 Timothy 4:1-5
Paul’s letter continues with several sharp words for those that are adding to the gospel. He then centers Timothy in the good that God has created. Let’s beware of our own tendencies and keep to the purity of grace and truth while enjoying what God has given us.
Good fight, Good prayer – 1 Timothy 1:18-2:7
Paul wraps up his first challenge to Timothy and then moves to explaining how the concept of a healthy church starts with prayer.
Did God Really Say – Love?
As we apply a Biblical worldview, we must contend with the command to love and what this means in a world that has its own version. If what we do is not perceived as love, then what?
Did God Really Say – The Bible as the superior worldview source
As we talk about our worldview God’s word must take center stage. How trustworthy is it versus other sources of knowledge? Paul will talk this week about how God’s word takes first place from a personal perspective.
Easter Immortal
Join us this Easter as we celebrate the true life that we’ve been given through Christ’s resurrection!
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.
