  • Can a Christian Date an Unbeliever? Here’s the Truth

  • Is God Angry With Me? The Answer Might Shock You
    Sep 8 2025

    Do you ever feel like God is angry with you—even as a believer? In this powerful and theologically rich sermon, Pastor Jeffrey Johnson unpacks one of the most essential verses in Scripture: "For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him" (2 Corinthians 5:21). With clarity and depth, Johnson addresses the heart-level struggle many Christians face: feeling condemned, guilty, and distant from God even though they know they are justified.

    This message tackles the profound mystery and challenge of substitutionary atonement—how the innocent Christ could bear the wrath of God in place of the guilty, and why that is not only just but necessary. Drawing on historic theological debates and alternative atonement theories, Johnson makes the case that divine election is the key to understanding how Christ's sacrifice truly secures our righteousness. It’s not make-believe or a legal fiction—Christ actually bore our sins, and His perfect righteousness has been legally and lovingly imputed to us.

    This sermon will leave you with a deeper assurance of your salvation, a greater love for Christ's work on the cross, and a renewed confidence that in Christ, God delights in you—fully, eternally, and without any trace of condemnation.
