  • Total darkness in the middle of the day, rocks splitting, graves opening, the curtain in the temple torn in two - what does it all mean?

    In this Good Friday message, Darrell teaches from Matthew 27 on Jesus’ death. He explains how we can read all of this as a response to Jesus’ cry from the cross: “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” that is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”(46).

    As we work through this passage, we come to see that Jesus suffers this abandonment in our place. Instead, the cry we hear from the cross is “Come - just as you are”. We find that the curtain has been torn and we sinners can press in to the presence of the Holy One through His sacrifice. Hallelujah!

  • People In Sync | Week 9 | In this sermon, Darrell works through the eighth and final Beatitude of Jesus found in Matthew chapter 5. This beatitude addresses the “persecuted blessed.” To be in sync with Jesus and His kingdom means we can expect to be treated the way Jesus was treated. Followers of Jesus can anticipate opposition, even persecution because they crave right-relatedness with him. Darrell asks, “If the world system, secular or religious, could not handle Jesus doing his gospel - what’s going to happen to those who go carry this same message ?” This sermon closes with three words of encouragement in the face of persecution from Jesus, as he promises “theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven”

  • People In Sync | Week 8 | In the seventh beatitude — blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God. Jesus, the Prince of Peace, invites us — ordinary, broken people, to become partners in his divine work of making shalom in the city. We are called to make a fresh commitment to our gospel vocation to be peace-makers, not just seekers, lovers, or keepers, but makers. As Darell expressed, Jesus bestowed on us incredible dignity to be peacemakers.

  • People In Sync | Week 7 | In this episode, Darrell Johnson focuses on Jesus’ description of his kingdom people in Matthew 5:8 “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” Breaking the message into two sections around the text (pure in heart, see God), Darrell helps us understand that being pure in heart is not about perfection, but rather a fruit of the One who is purity coming to dwell in our hearts, enabling us to see Him in everything - the most beautiful sight.

  • People In Sync | Week 6 | In this episode, Darrell Johnson explores what Jesus means when He says: "Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy" (Matthew 5:7). As Darrell works through the text, he asks why mercy is a mark of those in whom the Kingdom dwells, what exactly is this mercy that Jesus blesses, and does this text suggest that we merit mercy by being merciful? Through this exposition, Darrell unpacks the significance of mercy in the journey of those who have been touched by Jesus and His good news. We come to understand that mercy deeply shapes who we become and our relationship with God.

  • People In Sync | Week 5 | In this message, Darrel walks us through the fourth Beatitude in Matthew 5:6 “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for Righteousness for they will be satisfied”. In this beatitude, Jesus enters into all our thirsts and restores in us a hunger for which we were created

    When we come to Jesus he awakens an even deeper longing for him - all of our longings in the final analysis are longings for God.

  • People In Sync | Week 4 | Blessed are the meek for they (and only they) shall inherit the earth… Really?

    Darrell helps us understand the nature of this seemingly upside-down beatitude and its outrageous promise. Through the words of David in Psalm 37, the life of Moses, and the person of Jesus, we learn that meekness is not weakness or passivity but rather it is the true power that defines the coming Kingdom of God. How can anyone become truly meek? Only through the good news of the Meek One, Jesus Christ, taking hold of our hearts. How do we know the meek will inherit the earth? Because all things belong to the Meek One; He made the earth and delights to give it to His own, both now and forever.

  • People In Sync | Week 3 | In part three of People in Sync, Darrell's sermon series on the beatitudes, he clarifies one of the more difficult statements made by Jesus, “Blessed are those who are mourning.” How can those in a state of mourning see themselves as fortunate? Darrell helpfully reframes these mourners as “God’s aching visionaries,” those who look to Christ and see what can be and grieve about what is. Not only does this beatitude permit us to grieve, but it reminds us that as we open ourselves up to grief, we find ourselves strangely comforted because God’s comfort is with us.

  • People In Sync | Week 1 | Welcome to a new series from Darrell, on Matthew 5:1-12 - commonly known as the Beatitudes. In this sermon, Darrell Johnson offers an introduction to the passage. Through five observations, Darrell helps the listener grapple with the seemingly upside-down nature of the eight Beatitude statements and reveals the portrait Jesus is painting of His “kingdom-embracing”, and “blessed-are” people. Warning; you may find that we are the ones living upside-down and Jesus is turning things right-side up!

  • On this special episode of the Darrell Johnson Podcast, we are sharing a recent interview that Darrell had with The Canadian Church Leaders Network (CCLN). In this episode, we join Jason, who leads CCLN, and Darrell as they explore themes like the art of preaching, going the distance in ministry and marriage, and Darrell’s thoughts on the ancient Ten Commandments’ continued relevance in a modern world. Throughout the entire conversation, there is one thread that continually emerges as vital: the pastor's job is to guide people toward abiding in Jesus. We hope this conversation serves you to that important end.

  • Christmas According to John | Week 3

    In the final sermon of this Christmas series, Darrell continues his exposition of John 1 by making the case that our greatest need as humans is to see the glory of God. This deep human desire to behold glory is at the heart of John’s gospel and for John, the whole life of Jesus is one sustained manifestation of the glory of His Father.

    In this way, the Christmas story is not only filled with great wonder but with the incredible manifestation of the glory of God in the infant Jesus.

    As you listen, we hope, along with Darrell, that you are caught up in the great and glorious wonder of the incarnation, and we wish all of you a very merry Christmas.

  • Christmas According to John | Week 2

    Darrell calls these opening verses of the Gospel of John an “overture,” because it not only sets the stage for what is to come but draws us step by step more deeply into an ever greater sense of wonder. He breaks down words and concepts like logos, bios, zoé, and cosmos to prove that Jesus is in fact the Life and the Light of the world, begotten not made and therefore God.

    Darrell expands Jesus’ claim that because we have seen Him, we have seen God: because we have seen Jesus we have seen humanity, who we are, who we are supposed to be, and who, by grace, we can become.

    He explains why even though the Light has come, the world is still in darkness, and ends on the triumphant note that the darkness can never overcome the everlasting light.

  • Christmas According to John | Week 1

    The month of December can be a busy time of year in our modern world, yet it is during this Christmas season that the cultural spotlight shines on Jesus more than perhaps any other time of the year.

    This Christmas, Darrell invites you to soak in the opening verses of the Gospel of John, a passage that takes us into the very heart of the Advent Christmas Season. Join Darrell as he takes us back before Bethlehem, to the very beginning.

    For as we enter into this special time of year, we celebrate how the one who has existed for all eternity, the Divine Creator, has put on human flesh and come into the world so that we too might live toward God, in sync with the one who gives us life.

  • Listening To Jesus Pray For Us | Week 4 | In this final episode in our series on John 17, Darrell talks about the conversations that take place in sacred spaces. In the New Testament, we see many interactions between Jesus and the Father but the most clear and defining moments are here in John 17 and in Hebrews 1-2 where we witness God finally speaking to us about his Son. Both these scriptures open our eyes to see the deep affection, trust, and union between the Father and Son. And here, Darrell invites us to consider the sacred spaces in our own lives, where we also join in on this Divine conversation. This is Darrell in the final week of “Listening to Jesus Pray For Us.”

  • Listening To Jesus Pray For Us | Week 3 | In part 3 of this 4 part series, Darrell proclaims that our invitation to listen to Jesus pray to His Father is an invitation into the very center of the universe. It is one thing to hear Jesus preach, but it is another thing to hear Jesus pray. And as he prays for us, he prays that we would be unified with Him and the Father. We are being invited to join in the intimate dance at the heart of the Trinity. In this sermon, Darrell helps us go deeper into understanding this inner life of the Trinity and what it means for us to be included in the mysterious oneness of the triune God. I’ll hand it off to Darrell to take us in.

  • Listening To Jesus Pray For Us | Week 2 | In part 2 of the series “Listening to Jesus Pray for Us,” Darrell highlights from John 17 how Jesus' deep desires for his disciples are revealed to us in this prayer. Jesus prays that we may know God, by knowing Him, the one God sent. He wants us to be set apart, by following His way in the world. Then ultimately, in Jesus’ own journey, he wants to be glorified so that the Father is glorified and that we may also be partakers in the glory of this Divine relationship. Here’s Darrell continuing in John 17.

  • Listening To Jesus Pray For Us | Week 1 | In this first episode of Darrell’s sermon series on John 17 called “Listening to Jesus Pray For Us," Darrell invites us to step into John’s gospel with him and listen to Jesus’ prayer to His Father. With the cross on the horizon, Jesus pours out his heart in the presence of his disciples. This passage provides a window for us into what Jesus prays, not just for the disciples, but also for us. This was the central request of the disciples, and here, in the intimacy of this moment, we too get to say: Jesus, teach us to pray.

  • Perhaps you’ve wondered how to relate to the Ten Commandments in the Old Testament, or whether or not these ancient words are even relevant for today. In this sermon Darrell speaks to these wonderings by explaining how the living God frees human beings to flourish by giving the Ten Commandments to protect and enhance our freedom. Darrell proposes that these commandments are a gift of grace, and they are enduring promises to humans from the Creator that tell us how we best function in the created order. While all fall short of this standard, Jesus frees us, not by discarding or watering-down the law, but by offering believers two things: pardon and power.

  • Following Jesus Into His Sermon On The Mount | Week 15 | At the end of this fifteen part series Darrell asks us, “how are we to respond to the way the greatest preacher who ever lived ends the greatest sermon ever preached?” In this final section of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus lays before us the crisis of decision that has been building throughout His message. What are we going to do with Him? Are we going to trust Him or not? And what does trusting Him really look like? Darrell helps us see that following Jesus and His way has always been the inherent design for being truly human. Jesus invites us into life… What is our response?
