    Three Parables One Message Series

    Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Jul 16, 2025
     | 412 views

    This is a Bible study lesson, not a sermon. The Bible studies teach foundational truth that are designed to challenge, encourage and, most importantly, flame the fire of hunger in the Christian who wants to learn more about who they have become in Christ Jesus.

    Three Parables, One Message (Rev. Barry Johnson and Rev. Rodney Johnson) NOTE: New Light Faith Ministries and Barry Johnson Ministries, founded by Rodney V. Johnson and Barry O. Johnson, respectively, are partnering to offer Bible studies for Christians who are seeking to grow in their ...read more

     | 5,992 views

    As Americans, we should be thankful for our citizenship in this great nation under God. But, Christians have dual citizenship and have been incorporated into "one new humanity" in the church of Jesus Christ.

    INTRODUCTION "One Nation Under God…" That phrase, One Nation Under God, which features so prominently in our Pledge of Allegiance has been the subject of much discussion and has become the scrutiny of many people over the last year. It all started last year when a self-avowed atheist by the name ...read more

    God calls specific people to specific places for specific purposes. When God called Jonah, his response was quite different that that of the prophet Isaiah. Whereas Isaiah said, "Here am I. Send me!" Jonah said, "Here am I...send someone else."

    Series: Jonah and the City Here am I... Send Someone Else, Pt. One Jonah 1:1-2 This morning I want to begin a study of the life of Jonah. This first message I’ve actually broken in two, so this week I’ll preach part one and next week I’ll preach part two. God calls specific ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 36,535 views

    One of the hardest things to do is wait on God. But what if God is waiting on you? This message pivots off of Isaiah 30:18 and explores that possibilities and its implications for us.

    Isaiah 30 12/7/14 During the last few months I have been waiting on the Lord for some things. And to be honest with you, I have felt frustrated that answers were not coming more quickly. I know God is omnipotent—so if the answer is not coming, it’s not because He’s unable to do it. The problem is ...read more

    This message wrestles with some apparent contradictions in Scripture about whether a Christian can lose his or her salvation.

    Hebrews 10:26-31 5-1-16 Intro One saved, always saved? Is that true or can a Christian lose his salvation? If so, how and when does that happen?

    On the day after Christmas, on St. Stephen’s Day, we learn that though getting to heaven is easy through Jesus, carrying his cross on earth often times isn’t. But if being a Christian is difficult, it is even more so for the unbeliever.

    Festival of St. Stephen Matthew 23:34-39 I have always had a healthy respect for all branches of the military, and not to take anything away from the other divisions of our armed forces, but one branch particularly stands out in my mind: the Marine Corps.
