When you think of God, what pictures come to mind? The world tries to portray God as some vindictive dictator obsessed with enforcing a set of rules. Do you think of Him as a strict rule giver, and someone who's out to get you? Pastor Jeff will encourage us to think of God as our Abba Daddy, who loves us, and wants to lead and guide us!

Today, we invite you to listen to what God did to redeem this world, by sending His Son. Our world was in desperate need of a Savior. So God sent His beloved son Jesus .And if you haven't already, please receive the greatest gift of all, which will lead to amazing peace and joy To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/621/29?v=20251111

A life given to God's Holy Spirit is a life of fruitfulness and joy. Why would we want to suppress Him? Perhaps you've been quenching the Spirit, or hindering His work in your life. Well that can change today, and pastor Jeff Johnson will utilize our time together to encourage us toward a life in the Spirit.

We're talking about the Spirit life today. In other words, how to experience fullness of life, as we're filled with the Spirit of God. If that's something you desire, well you've come to the right place. There are opportunities everywhere to be filled with whatever the world offers.

We're camping out in Romans chapter eight today and all week long. Each and every day we have a choice to make as followers of Christ. And that is will we walk in the flesh or in the Spirit. One leads to corruption and defeat, and the other to victory and blessings. Seems like a no brainer, and yet we so often choose the wrong path.

When we become a Christian we're no longer condemned. But that doesn't mean we won't feel condemned at times. Sometimes others will condemn us, sometimes we bring it on ourselves, and you can be sure satan is behind it all. So how do we get beyond that to embrace God's truth for our lives? To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/621/29?v=20251111

Today on Sound Doctrine we discover that if you're in Christ, you're no longer condemned, but free! And God has supplied all the power we need to live the Christian life, through His Spirit. We begin a mini-series today in one of the greatest chapters in the bible, Romans chapter eight. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/621/29?v=20251111

Today we make our way over to Acts chapter eight and receive a classic example of what's been called a divine appointment. Philip is directed by the Lord to a man who was serious about searching for God and just happened to be reading the Scripture but needed someone to help him understand it. What a set up!

Today on Sound Doctrine pastor Jeff Johnson speaks of a war within. The struggle we all have with sin is real. But there is a way to win, and Romans chapter seven lays that out for us. Too many people today, including a lot of Christians, try to handle the conflict on their own. That's called pride! To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/621/29?v=20251111

We sometimes think that our pastors or the apostles we read about in the Bible are super spiritual, and couldn't possibly face the same struggles with the flesh as we do. But the reality is, we all wrestle with the flesh, and the struggle is real! To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/621/29?v=20251111

Have you ever been struggling with sin, and thought you were the only person going through such a struggle? That's a lonely and frustrating feeling, but you might be surprised to find out, even the apostle Paul struggled in this area. We all battle the flesh, and that battle will continue until we get to heaven. That comes to our attention today on Sound Doctrine, through a study in Romans chapter seven. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/621/29?v=20251111

In the year 2025, sin is minimized, downplayed and even glamorized in our world. But when you open and study your Bible, you discover the truth about sin. It's ugly and deceitful. It comes between man and a loving, righteous God. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/621/29?v=20251111

We're back in Romans today, and pastor Jeff Johnson will focus in on verses seven through thirteen. We can easily fall into one of two extremes - On the one hand, thinking the Christian life is all about obeying the law. And the other, thinking the law isn't necessary, because we are living under grace!The law does have a specific role, and today pastor Jeff will help us arrive at a biblical understanding of the law and its role in our lives.

On Today's broadcast we'll be introduced to a man who never got past the signs he saw to what they pointed to. It seems that many today are just like Simon - they're more interested in having supernatural experiences than a relationship with the God of the universe. Wanting only what's on he master's table but not the master. May that not be said of us. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/621/29?v=20251111

We should recognize that the law was intended to show us we can't keep it and drive us to a Savior. And we need a Savior who not only can save guilty sinners but also bring about freedom and holiness in our lives. Today on Sound Doctrine we'll recognize this tendency we have so we don't miss out on the true sanctifying work of Jesus! Pastor Jeff Johnson is in Romans chapter seven To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/621/29?v=20251111

In a moment we'll be joined by pastor Jeff, who today begins the seventh chapter of Romans. It's not hard to see that the vast majority of people in our world are preoccupied with sin. In fact they are totally engrossed in it. Maybe that would describe you? Well there is a way out, and it's at the cross. So keep it right here as together we deal with the sin issue head on!

As you take a close inventory of your life would you say that you're under sin's control? Maybe it feels like you just can't break free from it but you really want to? Is there any hope? There most certainly is! We are in the midst of a series in Romans and today, pastor Jeff takes us to Romans chapter six points, as he points out the way to freedom from sin – by serving the Lord Jesus.

We're going through Romans and today we'll see what it says about who we are in Christ and how to be successful in our battle against sin. Make your way over to chapter six as we uncover how to live the victorious Christian life. There's a lot to discover from this very valuable and practical passage of scripture. The truth is, we are going to either serve our sin nature, or serve the God if the universe! To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/621/29?v=20251111

While New Year's day is a month away, we still have a great resolution for you to make today. In fact it's the greatest of all. It rises to the surface in Romans chapter six today on Sound Doctrine. It's here that Paul encourages the Roman church - and us - to kick sin out of our lives! That a tough task, considering we are all sinners.

Hope you're enjoying a restful and blessed Thanksgiving weekend! We're going through Romans and today we'll see what it says about who we are in Christ and how to be successful in our battle against sin. Make your way over to chapter six as we uncover more helpful principles to help you live victoriously. There's a lot to discover from this very valuable and practical passage of scripture.

Maybe like many, you've been doing a lot of griping recently! It's easy to fall into that trap. Just scroll through your newsfeed on social media, and there's no shortage of it. But, we'd like to turn your attention now to the many things we have to be thankful for in Christ! As pastor Jeff shares today, let's really think about replacing the griping with true worship of our wonderful God.

We're talking about the new you, in Jesus Christ, today on Sound Doctrine. And yes there should be a big difference between your BC days, and your new life in Christ. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/621/29?v=20251111

How concerned are you about holiness? Some aren't concerned at all about it, others go way overboard into unnecessary strictness, and still others have their own code of conduct! But what does God have to say about our sanctification? Or put another way, our walk in victory? That's what we'll focus in on today on Sound Doctrine. We all serve someone or something. The question is, who or what? To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/621/29?v=20251111

God made a way to be saved, and that's through Jesus. The world will tell you that there are many ways to heaven, but in fact, faith in Christ is the one and only way. We're in Romans chapter five where Paul explains who and what we are in Christ, by contrasting Adam with Jesus. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/621/29?v=20251111

As we continue our look at Acts chapter eight today, we are reminded of the fact that God can change anyone's life - no matter how bad they've been. Saul of Tarsus is a perfect example of this. He was a persecuted of Christians. He mocked them, tortured them and found great delight in their pain. Then he encountered the very God he was mocking, and his life changed completely.

We'll be continuing a study in Romans, and cover some more ground in chapter five. You remember the story from Sunday School I'm sure. Adam and Eve were told not to eat of the forbidden fruit in the Garden, but they did! And because of that one sinful act, it brought sin, death and condemnation into the world. But I'm happy to say what Adam did to the human race is reversible. And today's study will make that abundantly clear.

If you want a good picture of what love is, look no further than God Himself. He not only demonstrated His love to us, through the sending of His Son to this earth, but He lavishly pours out His love into our hearts once we believe! And it gets even better! God wants to enable and empower you to love like He loves! Sounds like a worthy goal! To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/621/29?v=20251111

Welcome to Sound Doctrine. Our teacher pastor Jeff Johnson is going through the book of Romans. In chapter five we're told that God's love is lavishly given to us when we come to Christ. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/621/29?v=20251111

Today on the program, we're going to see what trials can do for us and how best to respond to them! In Romans chapter five, the apostle Paul mentions a few of the things that trials produce in our lives. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/621/29?v=20251111

Christians will face tribulation and persecution. We live in a sin infested world. But here's something else you can be sure of… God will be with you in those trials, you have complete access to Him, and you can experience His peace as well. Let's talk about it right now on Sound Doctrine as pastor Jeff Johnson digs deeper into Romans chapter five. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/621/29?v=20251111

In Acts chapter eight we find the Church expanding after the death of Stephen. It's in the eighth chapter of Acts that we meet one of the most significant men in the bible - a man named Saul. When you consider that after his conversion to Christianity he wrote a significant amount of the New Testament, it is striking to see the terrible man he was prior to his conversion.

As you look back over the last couple of years, I'm sure you'd agree there's been quite a bit of chaos, trouble and turmoil. Riots, assassinations, government shutdowns. It's no wonder that many are discouraged and even depressed as a result. But did you realize you can experience peace with God and the peace of God, no matter what's going on around us? We'll talk about it today on Sound Doctrine. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/621/29?v=20251111

The wonderful thing about God is that He's a promise giver and keeper! He never breaks a promise! Pastor Jeff Johnson will point out today that Abraham's faith led him right to the promise giver who saves. We'll be in Romans chapter four, and verses thirteen through seventeen today. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/621/29?v=20251111

As we continue our series in Romans, we begin our final message in chapter four. The apostle Paul has been driving home an important point that salvation is not obtained through works, but through faith in Christ. Still today there are a large number of people that think they have to do something, other than believe. Like perform a certain ritual. But that's a futile endeavor, as the work has already been done by Jesus. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/621/29?v=20251111

Today on Sound Doctrine we'll show you where real happiness is found. And it has everything to do with confession, sins forgiven and being in a right relationship with God. Pastor Jeff Johnson will be recalling King David's life in today's study from Romans chapter four. It's a wonderful example of how far-reaching God's grace and forgiveness is.

When you hear God will save us simply by believing in Him, you might be thinking that sounds too good to be true. After all, the religions of the world all tell us that we must perform some act or good deed to get to heaven. But instead of dismissing salvation through faith right off the bat, it would be wise to look into it. Well, we'll do just that today on Sound Doctrine.

If you took a poll of ten thousand people, and asked them how they cope with a big change on their life, I'd guess about 99 hundred would say, “not too well”. We all want a smooth existence, but that just isn't always the case. As we wrap up our study of Acts chapter seven today, we see again that It was a tumultuous time. The Christian Church was in its infancy, and the status quo was being threatened. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/621/29

There are a large number of people today that are under the illusion that they can gain the approval of God through their good behavior. Today we open our Bibles to Romans chapter four and see that even the best really can't boast. Even the best people fall short of the mark, and so we must trust in Christ for salvation. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/621/29

In Romans chapter four the argument for salvation by grace through faith is made by using the historical account of Abraham. Pastor Jeff Johnson will explore this liberating truth of how God not only saved Abraham by faith apart from works, but us too.

When the book of Romans was penned there were a large number of people with a skewed view of salvation. They believed that salvation came through circumcision and living by the law of God. In Romans, the apostle Paul makes it abundantly clear that we are saved by grace through faith. It's a message that needs to be heard and received today. We're talking about the good news today on Sound Doctrine. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/621/29

There's no shortage of bad news in the world today. Just turn on the nightly news and you'll be reminded of that. But today on Sound Doctrine we want to give you some good news. In fact it's the best news you'll ever hear. How does that sound? Pastor Jeff Johnson will be in Romans chapter three, and verses 24-31. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/621/29

The book of Romans describes our salvation and how we're made right before God. Because of what Jesus did for us we are not just forgiven but also declared righteous! I should add, at great cost to Christ. There's nothing that compares to it! To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/621/29

Today we'll be looking at the seventh chapter, where we're given the story of Stephen, the first Christian martyr. Not only will we hear his defense to the charge of blasphemy, but we'll also see the fulfillment of a promise to those who believe in the Lord. There was a sea-change going on at the time, and many religious leaders were resisting the change. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/621/29

Today on Sound Doctrine we'll learn that on our own we all fall short of a right standing with God. But the good news is, Jesus can provide the righteousness we need.

I'm sure you've heard many criminal trials described as an “open and shut case”. It's often said in cases where the evidence is strong and convincing. That's really what we have in Romans chapter three. In a moment you'll hear the fourteen counts against man, man's defense, and the verdict. After all is said and done, we'll see the whole world lies guilty before God. But fear not! It's not all bad news! To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/621/29

Apart from Christ we're all sick and lost. We're in Romans, and in the first three chapters we discover mankind is guilty before a holy God.
