About
Lance Johnson comes by way of a life of struggles having been trapped by the unrelenting grip of alcohol and drug addiction and the desperate life style that comes with it. He brings a fresh word that is woven into the fabric of a life that has known the agony of an empty soul.One early fall day in September of 1990 he had an encounter with the King of Kings that not only changed him but has eternally altered the lives of thousands that now proclaim along with him that “When Jesus sets you free you are completely free”. Pastor Lance now reaches into depths of his experience to deliver a starkly real story of freedom by the power of God. Now he only looks back to encourage those that are lagging behind. He has spent almost a quarter of a century rescuing people from a background of death and ruin and introducing them to a life of prosperity and liberty. Lance has pioneered addiction recovery ministries as well as numerous churches. He has planted bible colleges and overseas missio

It’s one thing to sit in a waiting room for a routine checkup. It’s another thing when you know someone’s life is on the line. Everything changes. The conversations stop feeling casual. Sometimes, we walk into church like it’s routine, lik…

Imagine holding a cup under a faucet that’s barely dripping, you’re waiting, hoping, trying to catch every drop. That’s how a lot of people approach their walk with God, just trying to get a little more, just trying to feel something again…

It’s one thing to look at a map… and it’s another thing to take the journey. You can study every road, every landmark, every turn, but until you step out and go, you don’t really know what it’s like. And sometimes, that’s how we treat our…

We live in a world that can often feel chaotic. As Christians, we are called to be in the world, but when we begin to look like the world, we lose our witness. That’s why in today’s message, Pastor Lance reminds us that we are not in this…

Sometimes in life, it’s easier to fix what’s visible than to address the deeper issues. When it comes to our spiritual lives, it’s no different. We say things like, “I’ll pray about it,” yet we avoid fully committing to God’s Word in obedi…

Have you ever been invited to an event you didn’t really want to attend? Maybe it was a birthday party for a relative, or a concert of a group you didn’t care for. You probably went begrudgingly, knowing you should go. Today, Bishop Lance…

One of the mysteries of our salvation in Jesus is that we become new creations. The Bible tells us that the old has gone, and the new has come. We can’t earn our way to heaven by what we do. Jesus’ grace and mercy are what save us. Today,…

This life will bring trials and tribulations. Even as children of God, we’re not free from the sin that has a grip on this world. We aren’t immune to the consequences of our own or someone else’s sins. But the difference between believers…

Have you ever started a job that you knew you weren’t qualified for? You interviewed well and figured that with the right training, you would be able to figure it out along the way. That’s similar to the way God calls us. Bishop Lance remi…

When was the last time someone let you down? The unfortunate reality of this world is that when you rely on imperfect people, you are bound to get imperfect results. But Bishop Lance is here today to remind you that there is one person tha…

In this day and age, it’s all too easy to look at the nice possessions that other people have and covet those things for ourselves. We want the nice house, the shiny cars, and the flashy jewelry, but we fail to recognize that God has alrea…

God has given you a divine assignment to spread the Gospel, and it’s not one that you can simply ignore. In today’s message, Bishop Lance teaches you about the parable of the watchful servants and how they were rewarded for being prepared…

- Sunday February 1, 2026
Have you ever caught yourself chasing the promise so hard you forgot the One who made it? Today, Bishop Lance shows you David’s secret: he never got drunk on the prophecy that he would be king. He didn’t obsess over the crown, plot against…

Have you ever noticed how stuffed you can feel with what the world offers, and yet still be dying of thirst inside? Today, Bishop Lance points to the heart of the problem: you can be so drunk on money, success, entertainment, and noise tha…

Have you ever been so wrapped up in your own blessings that you don’t see the person falling apart right in front of you? Today, Bishop Lance asks if it’s possible to feel satisfied, busy, and blessed while stepping over people who are beg…
- Sunday January 11, 2026
We spend our whole lives before Christ in sin…so consequently, we act like the evil and grotesque sin that we commit. In today’s message, Bishop Lance will infer that if we act like sin when we're surrounded by sin, then won’t we act like…

Worship is SO much more than just raising our hands and singing on a Sunday Morning. Worship is fully surrendering to the Lord, Sunday through Saturday. Every single day, you have to deny yourself, deny your own wants and even needs, to ob…

Jesus came to trade places with you. What an incredible, awe-inspiring truth. It’s perplexing that the Son of God – the One who has existed in unity with the Creator of all things – cared enough about the human race to take on a broken bod…
- Sunday December 21, 2025
What a challenging truth. All too often, we cling to the promises of God that we’ve twisted and manipulated to fit our agenda, rather than His will and way. In today’s message, Bishop Lance will remind us that the most important thing we c…
- Sunday December 14, 2025
We have one primary assignment. Jesus commissioned His disciples to go into all the world, making disciples and sharing the Gospel. When you accept Him as your Lord and Savior, stepping onto the path right behind Him, you’re taking on that…
- Sunday December 7, 2025
We have a purpose as believers. God designed all of humanity for this purpose. We were made to glorify Him with everything we have, including our time and energy. Far too many of us are just enjoying the benefits of our salvation, while th…
- Faith Part 2
Have you ever come across a door you thought was locked, but when you tried the handle, you found out it was unlocked all along? Well, that’s a lot like the challenges that you will face in this life. Bishop Lance teaches you today about t…
- Faith Part 1
In the book of James, we are told that we do not have things we want or need because we have not asked for those things from God. The truth is that the Lord is a generous God, who wants to bless us, but we first need to have faith that He…
- Psalm 27 Part 2
Have you ever been truly thirsty? Have you ever gotten to the point where the only thing you can think of is getting a drink of water? Well, Bishop Lance teaches you today that David longed after the presence of God more than he longed aft…
- Psalm 27 Part 1
When we come to the Lord in prayer, are we just asking Him to do things for us? Or are we seeking to spend time in His presence, like a child comes to their father? In today’s message, Bishop Lance is going to teach us about the 27th Psalm…
- Freedom Friday Part 2
When a follower of Jesus lives a life full of shame and guilt, it’s like driving a car with four flat tires. Sure, you’ll be able to get around eventually, but that vehicle is capable of so much more! In today’s message, Bishop Lance remin…
- Freedom Friday Part 1
Before Jesus’ death on the cross, it was difficult for man to know God! The priests of Israel had to undergo strict purification rites in order to be worthy to enter into God’s presence. But Bishop Lance reminds you today that you’ve been…
- Spirit of the Age Part 3
Reading the words of Jesus in the Bible isn’t enough to get you into heaven. In the Gospels, we see demons recognize His divinity, but that doesn’t mean that they are redeemed! No, you must be pursuing the holiness of Christ, and allowing…
- Spirit of the Age Part 2
Being a witness for Jesus doesn’t need an instruction manual. While having instruction and training is useful, your witness is useless if you don’t have the Holy Spirit living inside you. On today’s program, Bishop Lance is going to teach…
- Spirit of the Age Part 1
There is coming a day when you and I will meet with the Lord face to face and be held to account for how we lived our lives. In today’s message, Bishop Lance encourages us to develop our own faith in God and not just rely on what other peo…
- Luke 12 Part 2
Do you have the confidence in Jesus that Bishop Lance will proclaim in today’s message? If not, you can. It’s not unique because it’s only available to a select few. It is unique in that only a few will choose it, and many will reject it,…
- Luke 12 Part 1
In today’s message, Bishop Lance will remind us of the central mission he’s been called into, along with every other believer in Jesus Christ. That mission is to spread the Gospel of grace to the ends of the earth. If you stick around thro…
- 1 Samuel 17 Part 2
Have you allowed your vision for your church or ministry to become an idol? On its surface, it may look and feel like you’re doing everything right. You’re pouring yourself into the work of God… but really, it’s just your idea of who God i…
- 1 Samuel 17 Part 1
We may not be fashioning idols out of gold and silver to bow down to in modern society, but we are very good at fashioning our own gods out of religion and reason. This form of idolatry is more subtle, more pervasive, and harder to recogni…
- Luke 16 Part 2
God cares about your life in the here and now. He provides for you. But, as Bishop Lance will challenge us in today’s message, we don’t really have a problem thinking about the here and now – it comes naturally. We need to be a lot more co…
- Luke 16 Part 1
The prophecies found in Scripture can be hard to decipher. Some pastors and churches build ministries on their interpretation of that prophecy, and it can become more about their perspective than about the God who gave it in the first plac…
- Matthew 13 Part 2
Satan knows he can’t win, but that doesn’t stop him from trying. Sadly, while Jesus has secured the ultimate victory, each one of us has our own choice to make, and many choose to follow the enemy. In today’s message, Bishop Lance will rem…
- Matthew 13 Part 1
God wants you to be a living testimony to His greatness, not yours. As Bishop Lance will remind us today, God doesn’t call us based on our merit. He doesn’t need our money, abilities, or position in society. He can just speak a word, and w…
- Mark 4
Our enemy is a cunning deceiver. He knows just the right way to convince us that wrong is right and right is wrong, up is down, and down is up. Look at our world in contrast to Scripture, and the deception becomes clear. As Bishop Lance wi…
- Luke 18 Part 2
We live in an imperfect world, and often we search for the perfect setting, ideal people, and the right moments in our lives. However, that is not the essence of the church. In today’s message, Bishop Lance emphasizes that the church is no…
- Luke 18 Part 1
If there were a drink that could quench your thirst forever, would you take it? This is what Jesus offered the woman at the well. He understood that she had faced a difficult life and made mistakes, but that did not mean she lacked purpose…
- Luke 19 Part 2
It’s truly amazing to know that we have a God who desires a relationship with us. He does not demand that we change before we approach Him. God understands that we are not perfect due to the sin in this world, and that’s precisely why He s…
- Luke 19 Part 1
Have you ever tried your hand at pottery? If you have, you know it's not as easy as it appears. The clay has a unique consistency—soft, pliable, and easily bendable. In the same way, we are the clay in our relationship with God. Just like…
- Mark 5 Part 2
We live in a world that often seems backwards, where what is wrong is labeled as right, and what is right is sometimes dismissed. And when we stay there for a while, we may begin to adopt these views and apply them to our relationship with…
- Mark 5 Part 1
Do you have something in your life that you struggle with? Is there something inside you that feels heavy? Are you tired of being burdened by the issues that trouble you? In today’s message, Bishop Lance wants you to know that there is onl…
- Matthew 21 Part 2
We live in a world where everyone has access to technology and can easily see the latest headlines as soon as they come in. Can you imagine what it must be like to be a child in the year 2025? In today’s message, Bishop Lance encourages yo…
- Matthew 21 Part 1
At times in our journey with Christ, we may lose sight of the bigger picture. When we find ourselves asking, “What now?” it can be easy to overlook the true essence of ministry. That’s why, in today’s message, Bishop Lance encourages us to…
