Johnson Ferry Sermons

A Monumental Mistake

Sun, 24 May 2026 14:00:00 GMT

This week we kick off our brand new sermon series, The Story of..., where we’ll take a closer look at some of the Bible stories many of us grew up hearing. This Sunday, Executive Pastor of Disciple-Making and Programs, Adrian Coetzer, takes us to Genesis 11 to explore the Tower of Babel and what happens when people seek to build a name for themselves instead of glorifying God.

The Whole Duty of Man

Sun, 17 May 2026 14:00:00 GMT

We serve a God who is all-powerful and eternal, holding the whole world in His hands. This week, Pastor Clay wraps up our sermon series through Ecclesiastes by taking us through chapter 12 and reminding us of the duty of man and the sovereignty of God. As we fear God, obey His commands, and trust Him with our lives, we become more like Him.

Take Some Risks

Sun, 10 May 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Where there is risk, there is reward. Part of living in a fallen world is that we must take risks, and sometimes we will get burned by them. This Sunday, Pastor Clay takes us to Ecclesiastes 11, where we’ll see how we can faithfully approach risk, uncertainty, and the places where we don’t have control as we follow God.

Watch Your Mouth

Sun, 03 May 2026 14:00:00 GMT

What if the smallest thing you carry has the greatest power to shape your life? In this message from Ecclesiastes 10:12–15, Pastor Clay explores the weight and impact of our words. Just like dynamite—small, but capable of building or destroying—our words have the power to give life or cause damage. And according to Jesus, they reveal something even deeper: our hearts.

When Life Doesn’t Make Sense

Sun, 26 Apr 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Pain is an inevitable part of the human experience. We will feel pain, be affected by pain, and be changed by pain. In this episode, Pastor Clay takes us through Ecclesiastes 7 and reminds us of the faithfulness of the God we serve. Even in the midst of suffering, God is greater than our pain, greater than our circumstances, and always good.

Truth About Death

Sun, 19 Apr 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Death is an inevitable reality of the human existence, but we do not need to be afraid of death! This week, our Pastor of Worship & Arts Bobby Smith takes us to Ecclesiastes 9 to remind us the truth abut death and exhort us to face the truth of death knowing that death is not the end of the story.

How to Actually Enjoy Your Life

Sun, 12 Apr 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. This week, Pastor Clay walks through Ecclesiastes 5, where Solomon explores the love of money and its empty promises. We are reminded that while money will never truly satisfy, it can still be used as a tool for good.

If Easter is True…

Sun, 05 Apr 2026 14:30:00 GMT

On Resurrection Sunday, we celebrate that we serve a King who is living and alive. There is no more important day than this! In this message, Pastor Clay walks us through Matthew 28, showing the profound impact of the resurrection on our lives and our faith. Because Jesus rose on the third day, we have unshakable hope and the assurance that all things will be made right. He is risen indeed!

Why Did Jesus Have to Die?

Fri, 03 Apr 2026 16:00:00 GMT

On this Good Friday we remember the sacrifice Jesus made on the cross, how he mocked, beaten, and scorned, and suffered death on the cross so that we might live. What seemed like defeat became the greatest victory, as His death opened the way for us to truly live.

Good Friday | Jesus is Crucified

Fri, 03 Apr 2026 14:00:00 GMT

On Good Friday, we remember the darkest day in human history, when Jesus was unjustly condemned, mocked, beaten, and ultimately crucified on the cross.

Thursday | The Last Supper

Thu, 02 Apr 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Jesus gathers with His disciples for one final Passover meal, offering bread and cup as a lasting covenant. That same night, He is betrayed, abandoned, and brought before the Sanhedrin as the path to the cross begins.

Wednesday | Jesus is Anointed

Wed, 01 Apr 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Today, we see Jesus pause to rest and share a meaningful moment with those around Him as He is anointed, an act that quietly points ahead to what is to come.

Tuesday | Jesus Returns to the City

Tue, 31 Mar 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Jesus teaches daily as religious leaders challenge His authority. Through parables and questions, He exposes their hardened hearts and points to the truth of who He is, inviting all to respond in faith.

Monday | Jesus Clears the Temple

Mon, 30 Mar 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Jesus enters the temple and boldly clears out those who had turned it into a place of profit instead of prayer

What Will You do with Jesus?

Sun, 29 Mar 2026 14:00:00 GMT

As we enter Holy Week and remember Jesus’ final week on earth, we are reminded that He is truly the Son of Man, fully God and fully man. In this message, Pastor Clay explores this powerful name of Jesus through His encounter with Caiaphas in Matthew 26, where He is brought before the Sanhedrin and sentenced to death. What looked like condemnation was actually the beginning of redemption

When You Worship

Sun, 22 Mar 2026 14:00:00 GMT

How you view God shapes how you worship Him. This week, Student Pastor Logan Grantham encourages us to draw near to God. Often, we hesitate to approach Him because our view of Him is not aligned with His true character. But when we know who He is, we are drawn to approach Him in the way He deserves.

Do I Really Need to be Baptized?

Sun, 15 Mar 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Do Christians really need to be baptized? Is the water cold? Many people have all kinds of questions about baptism, and today Pastor Clay tackles some of the most common ones and offers guidance on how we should approach baptism in the context of the local church.

Will Anyone Even Remember Me?

Sun, 08 Mar 2026 14:00:00 GMT

We all want to build a legacy, something to be known for. There’s an allure to fame, applause, and the approval of others. This week, Pastor Clay looks at a parable in Ecclesiastes alongside the story of Samuel and Absalom to show how success, fame, and fortune often leave us unfulfilled, and how the very things we pursue can sometimes undo us.

Don't Miss the Moment

Sun, 01 Mar 2026 15:00:00 GMT

Johnson Ferry has always been a Great Commission Church that echoes God’s heart for the nations, and while we can’t do everything, we can do something. This week, Pastor Clay shifts his focus to John 4 as we look at how Jesus points us toward being part of the mission and the harvest, playing our role in God’s work in our community and around the world.
