Today, we’re concluding a 6-week series that Darrell taught on the Gospel of John in 1996 at Glendale Presbyterian Church in California, and stepping into one of Darrell’s most beloved parts of Scripture. John has long been a favourite of his—he’s spent decades returning to it, teaching it, and inviting others to encounter Jesus through its pages. In this final message, Darrell brings us to John 13:1–17, where Jesus takes up a towel and washes His disciples’ feet—revealing a King unlike any we expect. Here, we see that the heart of God’s authority is not power, but self-giving love; not being served, but serving. And in this surprising act, Darrell shows us that the cross is not a contradiction of Jesus’ kingship, but its clearest expression, as He invites us not only to receive His grace, but to extend it to one another.__FREE Intro to the Gospel of John course with Darrell JohnsonGive to the Ministry of Darrell JohnsonDarrell's BooksSubscribe to Darrell's Mailing ListWebsite | darrelljohnson.caYouTube | youtube.com/darrelljohnson

Today, we’re in Week 5 of a 6-week series that Darrell taught on the Gospel of John in 1996 at Glendale Presbyterian Church in California, and stepping into one of Darrell’s most beloved parts of Scripture. John has long been a favourite of his—he’s spent decades returning to it, teaching it, and inviting others to encounter Jesus through its pages.In this message, Darrell examines a story from John 4:43–54. In this passage, we meet a royal official who comes to Jesus desperate—his son is dying, and he’s looking for a miracle. But what unfolds is not quite what he expected. Instead of immediately going with him, Jesus speaks a challenging word. Darrell draws our attention to the power of Jesus’ voice. We find that a word from Jesus doesn’t just describe reality, but creates it. His word invites us to trust, obey, and give up control, even when we can’t yet see the outcome. And ultimately, Jesus speaks the kind of word that gives more than we ask for—not just healing, but life itself.__Regent CollegeRegent College Summer Programs—Give to the Ministry of Darrell JohnsonDarrell's BooksSubscribe to Darrell's Mailing ListWebsite | darrelljohnson.caYouTube | youtube.com/darrelljohnson

Today, we’re in Week 4 a 6-week series that Darrell taught on the Gospel of John in 1996 at Glendale Presbyterian Church in California, and stepping into one of Darrell’s most beloved parts of Scripture. John has long been a favourite of his—he’s spent decades returning to it, teaching it, and inviting others to encounter Jesus through its pages.In this message from John 4, Darrell continues to reflect on the woman at the well as the first great witness to Jesus—someone whose encounter with Christ overflowed into invitation: “Come and see.” He explores how genuine evangelism isn’t forced, but flows naturally from a life transformed by Jesus’ love and dignity. Darrell suggests we are living in times of renewed openness, where people are searching for something more. Ultimately, he invites us to keep the focus on Jesus, share our own story, and trust that the good news will overflow as we ourselves are filled with living water.__Regent CollegeRegent College Summer Programs—Give to the Ministry of Darrell JohnsonDarrell's BooksSubscribe to Darrell's Mailing ListWebsite | darrelljohnson.caYouTube | youtube.com/darrelljohnson

Today, we’re in Week 3 of a 6-week series that Darrell taught on the Gospel of John in 1996 at Glendale Presbyterian Church in California, and stepping into one of Darrell’s most beloved parts of Scripture. John has long been a favourite of his—he’s spent decades returning to it, teaching it, and inviting others to encounter Jesus through its pages.In today's message, Darrell unpacks one of the most personal encounters in all of Scripture: Jesus and the woman at the well, drawn from John 4:1-26. In this passage, Jesus meets a woman carrying deep thirst—thirst she doesn’t fully understand, and hasn’t been able to satisfy. And step by step, He breaks through every barrier—cultural, relational, even the barriers within her own heart—to lead her to something more. Here, Jesus reveals himself as the One who quenches our deepest thirst. Not just offering relief, but becoming in us a well of living water.__Regent CollegeRegent College Summer Programs—Give to the Ministry of Darrell JohnsonDarrell's BooksSubscribe to Darrell's Mailing ListWebsite | darrelljohnson.caYouTube | youtube.com/darrelljohnson

Today, we’re in Week 2 of of a 6-week series that Darrell taught on the Gospel of John in 1996 at Glendale Presbyterian Church in California, and stepping into one of Darrell’s most beloved parts of Scripture. John has long been a favourite of his—he’s spent decades returning to it, teaching it, and inviting others to encounter Jesus through its pages.If last week's message revealed Jesus as the One who brings new life through the miracle at Cana, this week shows us how that transformation happens. In this passage, Jesus enters the temple—and turns everything upside down, but what looks like disruption is actually love, and grace. Jesus reveals Himself not only as the One who makes all things new, but as the One who clears away everything that gets in the way. And at the centre of it all is a bold claim: Jesus doesn’t just come to reform religion but to change it from the inside out. He Himself is the new temple, the place where heaven and earth meet.__Redeemer University—Give to the Ministry of Darrell JohnsonDarrell's BooksSubscribe to Darrell's Mailing ListWebsite | darrelljohnson.caYouTube | youtube.com/darrelljohnson

Today, we’re beginning the release of a 6-week series that Darrell taught on the Gospel of John in 1996 at Glendale Presbyterian Church in California, and stepping into one of Darrell’s most beloved parts of Scripture. John has long been a favourite of his—he’s spent decades returning to it, teaching it, and inviting others to encounter Jesus through its pages.In this opening message, Darrell begins where John begins his account of Jesus’ public ministry, with the wedding at Cana as recorded in John 2:1–11. More than a miracle, this moment is a sign: a glimpse into the very heart of God. Here, we see a Jesus who enters ordinary life, reveals divine glory, and brings transformation: turning water into wine, and pointing to his power to make all things new.__Regent CollegeRegent College Summer Programs—Give to the Ministry of Darrell JohnsonDarrell's BooksSubscribe to Darrell's Mailing ListWebsite | darrelljohnson.caYouTube | youtube.com/darrelljohnson

Week 22 | The Great Divide (1995)This week, we’re releasing the final episode of a series Darrell taught on the Sermon on the Mount in 1995 at Glendale Presbyterian Church in California. Drawing from Matthew 7, Darrell unpacks what he calls the great divide: two paths, two foundations, and ultimately, two ways of living. And the difference, Jesus says, isn’t just what we believe or say, but what we do with His words. Darrell helps us see that the narrow way isn’t restrictive—it’s actually the life we were created for, where faith moves beyond words and begins to take shape in how we live. The invitation is both sobering and hopeful: to trust Jesus as Lord, and to follow Him on the path that leads to life.__Regent CollegeRegent College Bookstore—Give to the Ministry of Darrell JohnsonDarrell's BooksSubscribe to Darrell's Mailing ListWebsite | darrelljohnson.caYouTube | youtube.com/darrelljohnson

Week 21 | Golden Rulers (1995)This week, we’re in Week 21 of a series Darrell taught on the Sermon on the Mount in 1995 at Glendale Presbyterian Church in California. In this sermon on Matthew 7:1–12, Darrell shows us how Jesus brings the Sermon on the Mount to its climax with the famous Golden Rule. He explains that Jesus’ teaching goes beyond simply avoiding harm and instead calls us to actively treat others the way we ourselves long to be treated. Along the way, Jesus warns against condemning others, calls us to help one another with humility, and reminds us that prayer is the antidote to a judgmental spirit. In the end, Jesus gathers the whole law into one simple but transformative way of life: do to others what you would have them do to you.__Regent CollegeRegent College Bookstore—Give to the Ministry of Darrell JohnsonDarrell's BooksSubscribe to Darrell's Mailing ListWebsite | darrelljohnson.caYouTube | youtube.com/darrelljohnson

Week 20 | Roots of Anxiety (1995)This week, we’re in Week 20 of a series Darrell taught on the Sermon on the Mount in 1995 at Glendale Presbyterian Church in California. In this message on Matthew 6:19–34, Darrell explores what Jesus says about the roots of anxiety. He reveals how Jesus’ teaching shows us that anxiety often grows out of three deep movements of the human heart: what we treasure, what we fix our attention on, and whom we ultimately serve. When our security is tied to temporary things, anxiety follows—but when our treasure, vision, and allegiance are centred on God, we discover real freedom. Jesus invites us to stop feeding our worries, start noticing the Father’s care, and keep seeking first the kingdom of God.__Redeemer University—Give to the Ministry of Darrell JohnsonDarrell's BooksSubscribe to Darrell's Mailing ListWebsite | darrelljohnson.caYouTube | youtube.com/darrelljohnson
