Michael is committed to faithful expositional preaching week in and week out. This means that he walks through the scriptures verse by verse, book by book, to challenge and exhort the congregation to know and obey God’s Word. Each week he seeks to relate the gospel-centered message of the scriptures and understand the authorial intent of each passage. It is a firm conviction that to know God and relate to him rightly, we must know his word accurately. The Bible is God’s inspired, inerrant, and authoritative Word and that it is both sufficient and necessary for knowing God, living in obedience to Him, and growing in Christlikeness. The preaching, teaching, and application of the Bible are paramount in Michael’s ministry.  Michael has finished his time serving at King's Cross Church.

  1. MATTHEW 13:24-43 | PASTOR MICHAEL JOHNSON

    Feb 16

    MATTHEW 13:24-43 | PASTOR MICHAEL JOHNSON

    MATTHEW | THE KING THAT WENT TO THE CROSS (AUDIO ONLY) Matthew 13:24-43 | Wheat Among Weeds This sermon explores Jesus' teaching on what it means to be part of the kingdom of heaven, particularly through the parable of the weeds among the wheat. In this text, Jesus reveals that genuine believers (wheat) and false professors (weeds) will grow side by side until the final harvest. This reality challenges us to examine our own hearts while trusting God's perfect timing and justice. The parables of the mustard seed and leaven further encourage us that despite humble beginnings, the kingdom grows exponentially and transforms completely from the inside out. Pastor Michael will highlight how these parables have significant implications for how we view the church, our personal spiritual growth, and the ultimate justice of God. Preached on 2-15-2026

  2. MATTHEW 13:1-23 | PASTOR MICHAEL JOHNSON

    Feb 9

    MATTHEW 13:1-23 | PASTOR MICHAEL JOHNSON

    MATTHEW | THE KING THAT WENT TO THE CROSS (AUDIO ONLY) Matthew 13:1-23 | Living for the Kingdom That Matters This sermon explores Jesus' Parable of the Sower (Matthew 13:1-23) and its implications for our spiritual life. Jesus uses this practical story to reveal the "secrets of the kingdom of heaven" - showing us that a life lived for God's kingdom is all that will ultimately matter. Pastor Michael explained that the parable isn't really about the sower or the seed, but about the soil - representing four different responses to the gospel message. Jesus teaches us that entrance into the kingdom, submission under it, and a life given for it are what truly count as everything temporal passes away and only the eternal remains.

  3. MATTHEW 12:43-50 | PASTOR MICHAEL JOHNSON

    Feb 2

    MATTHEW 12:43-50 | PASTOR MICHAEL JOHNSON

    MATTHEW | THE KING THAT WENT TO THE CROSS (AUDIO ONLY) Matthew 12:43-50 | No Room for Neutrality This sermon explores the dangerous myth of neutrality when it comes to Jesus. Building on last week's message about Jesus being greater than Jonah and Solomon, Pastor Michael examines how attempting to remain neutral toward Christ leaves us vulnerable to even greater spiritual danger. In this passage, Jesus taught that a "swept and ordered house" without His presence becomes an invitation for worse things to take residence. Pastor Michael challenges us to move from empty religion or comfortable idolatry to genuine discipleship, where Christ becomes the center of everything we do. Preached on 2-1-2026

  4. MATTHEW 12:38-42 | PASTOR MICHAEL JOHNSON

    Jan 26

    MATTHEW 12:38-42 | PASTOR MICHAEL JOHNSON

    MATTHEW | THE KING THAT WENT TO THE CROSS (AUDIO ONLY) Matthew 12:38-43 | Something Greater Is Here This sermon explores how the scribes and Pharisees demanded signs from Jesus on their own terms, even after witnessing His miracles. Jesus responded by pointing them to the sign of Jonah. He declared that something greater than Jonah and Solomon had come, yet this generation refused to repent. The implications for our spiritual life are profound: we must guard against fashioning a Christianity that's comfortable for us rather than surrendering fully to Christ's lordship. Jesus isn't merely a helpful addition to our lives, He is the consuming fire who deserves complete control. Preached on 1-25-2026

  5. MATTHEW 12:33-37 | PASTOR MICHAEL JOHNSON

    Jan 20

    MATTHEW 12:33-37 | PASTOR MICHAEL JOHNSON

    MATTHEW | THE KING THAT WENT TO THE CROSS (AUDIO ONLY) Matthew 12:33-37 | The Tree is Known By Its Fruit This sermon explores Jesus' teaching that our words and actions flow directly from the condition of our hearts. Jesus used the illustration of trees and their fruit to show that good trees produce good fruit and bad trees produce bad fruit - there's no way around this spiritual reality. This has profound implications for our spiritual life, challenging us to examine not just our outward behavior, but the inner motivations and treasures of our hearts. Jesus warned the religious leaders that their words revealed hearts of self-righteousness rather than genuine love for God and His people, reminding us that judgment day will expose what has truly been in our hearts all along.

  6. MATTHEW 12:22-32 | PASTOR MICHAEL JOHNSON

    Jan 12

    MATTHEW 12:22-32 | PASTOR MICHAEL JOHNSON

    MATTHEW | THE KING THAT WENT TO THE CROSS (AUDIO ONLY) Matthew 12:22-32 | The Unforgivable Sin This sermon explores Jesus' confrontation with the Pharisees after He healed a demon-oppressed man who was blind and mute. While the crowds began asking if Jesus could be the promised Son of David, the Pharisees accused Him of casting out demons by Satan's power. Jesus responded by exposing the illogic of their accusation and warning them about blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. This text reveals that neutrality toward Jesus is impossible. We must either be for Him or against Him. The unforgivable sin isn't a single statement we might accidentally make, but rather a continual rejection of the Holy Spirit's testimony about Jesus, which closes off the only path to forgiveness: repentance. Pastor Michael gave us urgent implications for our spiritual life, reminding us that self-righteousness blinds us to our need for Jesus, and that the evidence of His power demands a response. Sermon No. 30 Pastor Michael Johnson Preached on 1-11-2026

  7. MATTHEW 12:9-21 | PASTOR MICHAEL JOHNSON

    Jan 6

    MATTHEW 12:9-21 | PASTOR MICHAEL JOHNSON

    MATTHEW | THE KING THAT WENT TO THE CROSS (AUDIO ONLY) Matthew 12:9-21 | Finding Rest in Jesus This sermon explores the dangerous divide between life-giving faith and crushing legalism through Jesus' healing of a man with a withered hand on the Sabbath. You will see how the Pharisees' self-righteousness blinded them to their own need for restoration, leading them to plot against the very One who came to save them. Pastor Michael reminds us that Jesus didn't come to burden us with religious obligation, but to restore what sin has broken. Our salvation rests entirely on Christ's righteousness, not our own efforts, and this truth should transform how we view both our own struggles and the struggles of others. Sermon No. 29 Pastor Michael Johnson Preached on 1-4-2026

  8. MATTHEW 12:1-8 | PASTOR MICHAEL JOHNSON

    12/29/2025

    MATTHEW 12:1-8 | PASTOR MICHAEL JOHNSON

    MATTHEW | THE KING THAT WENT TO THE CROSS (AUDIO ONLY) Matthew 12:1-8 | The Lord of the Sabbath This sermon explores the first major confrontation between Jesus and the Pharisees over Sabbath observance, revealing how religious legalism enslaves us while the gospel sets us free. When the Pharisees accused Jesus' disciples of breaking the Sabbath by picking grain, Jesus responded by declaring Himself greater than the temple and Lord of the Sabbath. This passage confronts our tendency to earn God's favor through rule-keeping rather than resting in Christ's finished work. The implications for our spiritual life are profound: we must continually examine whether we're trusting in our performance or in Jesus' righteousness, recognizing that true spiritual growth comes not from trying harder but from abiding in Christ.
