The Darrell Johnson Podcast

Ephesians | Week 15 | After the first three chapters of Ephesians outline the good news of the gospel, we now move into the next section of the letter where Paul exhorts us how we should therefore live. A central calling for all Christians, is to unity within the body, but how can we create that? Well, in fact, we can’t. Rather, the Spirit has already created it, we all simply called to be diligent in maintaining it! The new reality the gospel brings we are now called to walk in with maturity and a manner worthy of our calling.

Ephesians | Week 14 | What are you facing today? In today’s message, we hear Darrell preach from Ephesians 3, learning that Paul, who is in prison, is down on his knees praying what some have called the boldest prayer ever prayed. As you listen, pray God gives you a receptive heart to hear and understand the breadth, and length, and height and depth of the love of Christ, and may you be filled today with the fullness of God.

Ephesians | Week 13 | In this message, Darrell invites us to Paul’s prison cell, where Paul has gone from preaching the gospel in Ephesians 2, to praying the gospel in this letter to the Ephesians. On his knees, a posture of reverence to God, Paul is praying that the Christians would allow the Holy Spirit, the same Spirit who hovered over the earth to create the world and the same Spirit who hovered over the Virgin to bring the Messiah, to indwell us. The Holy Spirit is the same One who in this moment in history hovers over our lives bringing resurrection life to our inner person even as our outer person decays. Will you invite the Holy Spirit to take residence as Master of your heart?

Ephesians | Week 12 | When grace grabs hold of us, as seen in the life of the Apostle Paul, it radically changes our lives. As we surrender to Jesus, we become stewards of the mystery of the gospel, ministers in the kingdom, and we find our true identity and place in the family of God. Drawing from the unique call of Jesus upon the life of Paul, Darrell shows who we can become when grace grabs hold of us. We are instructed and reminded that God’s grace saves us and is meant to be passed on to others. “Oh to grace, how great a debtor, daily I’m constrained to be.” First Baptist Church, Vancouver, BC | May 1, 2011 | Ephesians 3:1-13 Purchase Ephesians: The Wonder and Walk of Being Alive In Christ | www.darrelljohnson.ca/books  Mailing List | www.darrelljohnson.ca/#subscribe-form Give to the ministry of Darrell Johnson: www.darrelljohnson.ca/donate Website | darrelljohnson.ca YouTube | youtube.com/darrelljohnson

Ephesians | Week 11 | In this message, Darrel looks at Ephesians 1:15-23, and describes how the same resurrection power that raised Jesus from the dead, is the same power that created the world out of nothing. The amazing news of Easter is that that power is now available to those who believe. And more than just that, this power is now at work IN those who believe.

Ephesians | Week 10 | In today’s message, from Ephesians 2:11-22, Darrell explains that because of what Jesus did on the cross, Jesus broke down all walls and now, as followers of Jesus, we are granted direct access to the holy God. Jesus is building a new human race through his followers, a new temple, where the creator of ALL things will dwell with us.

Darrell invites us to think about and celebrate a mystery which takes place every time we worship. When we worship here on earth, we are joining a worship service that is already in progress in heaven. By looking at the passages of Isa. 6, and Rev. 4&5, we see the heavenly worship has changed before and after the death and resurrection of Jesus. The changing dynamic of the heavenly worship shapes and empowers our earthly worship. On earth as it is in heaven. Today, when we gather together to worship, we are to cry out: worthy is the Lamb, who sits in the middle of the One who sits on the throne.  You can also see a full video of this sermon on Darrell's Youtube Channel.

Ephesians | Week 9 | Paul’s letter to the Ephesians articulates the gospel of Jesus as a gift received by grace through faith. In everyone who receives this gift of salvation, God is at work, transforming each life into a new creation, a holy poem, a masterpiece crafted by the Maker. Focusing on Ephesians 2:8-10, Darrell explores the core tenets of what it means to become a vibrant new creation in Christ, and urges us on to walk out the good works uniquely prepared in advance for us to do, joining with God as He builds His kingdom here on earth.

Ephesians | Week 8 | In this message, Darrell focuses on three verbs in Ephesians 2:4-7. Jesus’ death, resurrection, and ascension has changed the structure of the universe.  In God’s rich mercy and grace, He made us alive, raised us up, and seated us with Christ. Christ is on the throne, so too are all who belong to Christ! As we are on the throne, we live in His kingdom, a very different kind of dominion. In this dominion, God invites us to be a part of his work of extending the riches of His mercy and grace to the world.
