Do This In Remembrance Of Me | OFF-LIMITS | Ps. David Johnson

We live in a world of consumption—alcohol, weed, food, screens, pills, porn, and endless entertainment—all promising relief, escape, and peace. But what happens when the things we consume slowly pull us away from the One we were made for? In this OFF LIMITS message, “Do This In Remembrance Of Me,” Pastor David Johnson talks about God’s heart for communion over consumption. Instead of skirting the hard questions, we move straight into them: Can Christians drink? Smoke weed? Take meds? Watch mature content? Where is the line? Through Scripture and real-life honesty, we explore four filters to shape what we welcome into our minds and bodies as followers of Jesus: Is it LEGAL? (Does it break God’s law or the law of the land?) Is it CONSISTENT? (Does it align with your confession of faith in Jesus?) Is it BENEFICIAL? (Does it keep you close to Jesus or create distance?) Is it HONORING? (Does it love God and protect the people around you?) At the heart of this message is a bigger truth: You were made and saved for communion with Jesus. Communion with Jesus = a rich and satisfying life. Separation from Jesus = striving, self-medicating, and never truly arriving. Key Scriptures: 1 Corinthians 10:21–24 • 1 Corinthians 6:19–20 • Romans 14 • Matthew 11:28–30 • John 10:10 • Leviticus 26:12 • Revelation 21:3 If you’ve ever wrestled with substances, screens, self-medicating, or just wondered what’s actually “okay” for a Christian to consume, this message is for you. There is freedom on the other side of honesty, conviction, and communion with Jesus. 🔔 Subscribe for more messages from the OFF LIMITS series 👍 Like, comment, and share this with someone who’s fighting for peace 📍 Join us in person at Highlands Church (Los Angeles) as we keep following Jesus together
