Revelation is probably the most read, but least understood book of the Bible. History is replete with examples of how not to interpret it, and books featuring end-of-world prophecy claims based on Revelation consistently top the bestseller lists. But how can the message of such an enigmatic book be applied to our lives today? In Discipleship on the Edge, Darrell W. Johnson drives home the challenging and practical message of Revelation in thirty carefully crafted sermons. Paying careful attention to the original context of Revelation and the circumstances surrounding its composition, Johnson shows that the book is not a "crystal ball" but rather a "discipleship manual." Thoroughly researched and yet accessible, this collection of sermons is a helpful resource for pastors and small group leaders who are looking for models to help them preach and teach the message of Revelation in a time when there is much confusion about the end times. Darrell W. Johnson is Associate Professor of Pastoral Theology at Regent College in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. A popular conference and retreat speaker, he has also served as the preaching pastor for a number of congregations in North America and the Philippines, as well as serving as Adjunct Professor of Preaching for the Doctor of Ministry program at Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, California. His other books include Experiencing the Trinity and Spurgeon on Preaching.

In eight stirring meditations, Darrell Johnson shows how the Lord's Prayer sums up the essence of Christian faith and, when prayed in faith, draws us into draws us into the Triune God's work of transforming the world.

The Beatitudes [Paperback] [Apr 30, 2015] Johnson, Darrell W

The Beatitudes

Darrell W. Johnson

The most basic and natural way we seek to understand who we are, where we are, what is wrong with us (especially why we die), and how we can be restored is by telling stories. Every culture in every era in every part of the world has a story or stories by which people navigate the mystery of being human on earth.In this series of expositions, Darrell Johnson suggests that the first eleven chapters of Genesis (what he and others maintain constitute the "first half" of the Bible) help make sense of all our other stories, for they speak to the fundamental questions we ask in every age. When we inhabit the story (stories) of Genesis 1-11, Johnson further suggests, we come to realize just how good the good news of Jesus Christ is in the "second half" of the Bible.Darrell W. Johnson has been preaching the gospel for fifty years, having served with churches in British Columbia, California, and the Philippines. He has taught preaching and pastoral theology at Fuller Theological Seminary, Carey College, and Regent College, where in his semi-retirement he serves as teaching fellow. He is the author of eight other books. He and his wife, Sharon, have raised four children (adopted from four different countries of the world) and now enjoy eleven grandchildren.

The Story of All Stories: Genesis 1-11

Product Description For many people the doctrine of the Trinity is a hopeless puzzle, a outdated philosophical idea far removed from everyday life. What does it all mean?

The Beatitudes found in Matthew 5:1-12 have often been experienced as either frustrating idealism or oppressive legalism. This book will show that they are neither. They are the result of Jesus and His gospel getting a hold on us! Readers of the book will find freedom and encouragement as they understand that in these famous words Jesus is simply describing what He is doing in the people that He calls to Himself. The eight "blessed are" Jesus speaks from a Galilean mountain are probably the most well-known of all His sayings. Rightly understood, they turn the world up-side down!The good news of Jesus is that the long-awaited kingdom of God is breaking into the world - God is breaking into our brokenness to heal and restore. In His Beatitudes, Jesus is painting a picture of those in whom God's kingdom is breaking in - those being transformed by Him and His good news. As people steep themselves in these words, they will discover the joy of being brought into alignment with God's re-creating rule.

Discipleship on the Edge

Join Darrell Johnson as he looks at Paul's letter to the Ephesian Church through a new lens. Darrell's faithful exposition of this ancient, but deeply relevant, text invites all who read it into the wonder and walk of being fully alive in Christ. Through this letter, we are slowly, but surely, being drawn into an alternative reality. Slowly, we realize that we are not only seeing things differently; thing really are different. "Things are not as they seem" is Paul's message to his readers. Or, more precisely, "Things are not only as they seem." 
"I first came to know Darrell Johnson through his exceptional work 'Discipleship on the Edge'. His careful and faithful handling of Revelation set a high bar going into Ephesians: The Wonder and Walk of Being Alive in Christ. As I read through this helpful and stirring exposition of Paul's teaching to the church on the 'wonder of grace' and the 'walk of grace' my gratefulness to God increased and I believe this is a much-needed refresher for the people of God in these new and strange days."- Matt Chandler, Lead Pastor of The Village Church, Texas, Author of "The Explicit Gospel", "Take Heart", and "Family Discipleship"
