Sermons by Donnie Johnson (Page 10)
Bible Stories, Pt. 5 – The 10 Plagues
How can lesser humans understand who an all-powerful, all-knowing God is, what Yahweh is like? The 10 plagues that God used to judge Egypt do much to reveal how much greater the God of the people of Israel is than any of the pantheon of gods that were worshipped in Egypt at the time of the Exodus.
Bible Stories, Pt. 4 – Moses and the Burning Bush
How is Jesus pictured in the Old Testament story of Moses and the burning bush? Pastor Donnie takes a close look at that remarkable story in Exodus and how God showed up then for Moses and His people, and how Jesus shows up for us today.
Bible Stories, Pt. 3 – Abraham and Isaac
Pastor Donnie takes a look at the account of Abraham and Isaac in Genesis 21 and 22, and how God used them to to foreshadow the sacrifice of His Son Jesus on that same mountain hundreds of years later.
Bible Stories, Pt. 2 – The Call of Abram
How does the story of Abram leaving all he knew to settle in a new land remind us of Jesus? In part 2 of “Bible Stories,” Pastor Donnie looks at the life of Abram to find the answer.
Bible Stories, Pt. 1 – Creation
The Bible is full of big, epic stories that give us a sense of how big our God is and remind us to trust Him. These stories point us toward Jesus and are a part of an even larger story – a story so big that it sweeps us into it as well. Here in part 1, Pastor Donnie takes a fresh look at the account of creation in Genesis and tells us how Jesus can be found there “in the beginning.”
Fully Alive Pt. 2
Christianity is a team sport. In Ephesians chapter 4, we are told the goal of this Christian life, both individually and together as believers in the body of Christ.
Fully Alive
What do we mean when we say we exist to “help people become fully alive in Christ?” Pastor Donnie takes a fresh look at the heartbeat behind our mission as a church.
Practical Faith – Pt. 14
In the final two verses of the Book of James, Jesus’ half-brother encourages believers to engage in a Christian search and rescue mission when a fellow believer goes astray.
Practical Faith – Pt. 9
Where does conflict come from? In our study of the Book of James, Pastor Donnie says that it is the result of three wars that we fight: with others, with ourselves, and with God. What’s the solution? James offers seven things to deliver us from those conflicts in our lives.
Practical Faith – Pt. 8
The difference between the wisdom of this world and God’s wisdom is the focus of Pastor Donnie Johnson’s study of James 3:13-18.
Practical faith – Pt. 6
In our summer study of the Book of James, Pastor Donnie Johnson looks at chapter 2 verses 14-26 and discusses what faith really is … and what it’s not.
Practical Faith – Pt. 5
Today Pastor Donnie focuses on James 2:1-13 where we are told that faith is more than a belief or a feeling; instead, our inward faith is shown to be genuine by our outward actions … and largely by the motivation for our behaviors to others. Recorded on July 17, 2022, at Liferoads Church in Spokane, Washington.
