BEYOND SUNDAY
[ THIS WEEK’S MESSAGE ]
“CHECK YOUR FILTER”
by Pastor Jeremy Johnson
This message introduces the theme Check the Filter, calling believers to examine the lenses through which they see God, leaders, the church, and their own calling. Using Ephesians 4, the sermon explains the fivefold ministry and how God equips the church through leadership, structure, and spiritual covering. The teaching confronts church hurt, offense, and unhealed wounds, showing how filters distort vision and keep people stuck in pain. Through powerful illustrations, prayer, and repentance, the message invites people to release unforgiveness, renew their minds, and choose healing over isolation. The sermon ends with a call to let go of the past, forgive freely, and step into the “next play” God has prepared.
