Sound Doctrine

Pastor Jeff Johnson has an eye on the first five verses of Romans two today, which clearly describes self-righteousness. And in case you haven't noticed, it's all around us today. But here's something else you need to know - our righteousness is filthy rags. And God has a much better plan for us.

Pastor Jeff Johnson is going through Romans right now, and we enter chapter two today. Our attention turns now to self-righteousness. Let's make sure we don't fall into that camp ourselves. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/621/29

Romans describes two very different pathways. One that leads to blessing, life and soul satisfaction. And another that leads you down a pathway to perversity and ends in destruction and devastation. The question each of us must answer is this: what path will I choose? Well if you're on the wrong path today, there is hope. And we'll tell you about God's cure for a messed up life's we wrap up our look at Romans chapter one. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/621/29

When we left you last time, Jeff was describing a few of the stages of mankind's downward spiral into perversity. We'll cover the fourth and final stage today. As we look around us we see a world sliding deeper and deeper into sin. And a big part of the problem is how easy it is to get away with it. Sin these days is not only tolerated, it is celebrated! Let's join pastor Jeff Johnson join Romans chapter one. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/621/29

We're continuing in chapter six in our study through the book of Acts. We'll begin with verse eight today, as we see the story of the first martyr of the Christian church, Stephen. His story not only points out what a great man of faith he was, but as you'll see, it also resembles what Jesus went through when he was arrested, tried, and crucified.

Every year, people all over the world celebrate the LGBTQ lifestyle, in what they call “Pride Month.” But when you open the Scriptures, God makes it very clear what He thinks of this behavior and what it leads to. We all know someone who has fallen into that sinful lifestyle, and it's heartbreaking to see the destruction it causes. So today on Sound Doctrine pastor Jeff will encourage us to agree with God, helping us understand what's really going on around us.

As we look at the perversion and darkness all around us today, we have to wonder how we have gone is far astray from God's will and desire for our world. There has to be something that can be done to stem the tide of destruction we see taking place. Romans chapter one lays that out for us. Today on Sound Doctrine pastor Jeff Johnson talks more about the pathway to perversion our world is on, and God's answer to that perversion.

Today we'll see that much of humanity is on the pathway to perversion. We can see it all around us on TV, movies, the internet… God has provided an exit strategy and it's the gospel.

We take you into the New Testament book of Romans again today. And in the middle of chapter one we enter a courtroom. Televised trials are very popular these days, and if there had been television in Paul's day, this would have been a blockbuster! God is the judge and mankind is on trial, found guilty of rejection and rebellion. With that said, there is wonderful hope for us all, and it's in the gospel!

Today we head back to the book of Romans, chapter one. It's there, we hear all about the gospel of grace, by faith in Jesus. It emphasizes not what you need to do for the Lord but what He has done for you. Romans chapter one and verse seventeen makes that abundantly clear.

God's love is true, and we're assured of it in God's Word. Not because we're deserving, but because God is so loving and gracious. That good news is our focus today on Sound Doctrine.

We left off in chapter one at verse two if you want to find your place there now. We'll be reading about a Roman revival, and pastor Jeff is quick to point out that this revival continues on with us.

Today we will complete our study of Acts and as you'll see it ends in a rather unique way. Some have referred to this book as the Unfinished Symphony. But that's very much intentional as the story continues right on into the present day. It's all about spreading the gospel message, in spite of the dangers and roadblocks! The book of Acts describes the gospel moving from Jerusalem to Rome. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/621/29

We're continuing a verse-by-verse study through the book of Acts. If a church is successful, and honoring the Lord, you can be sure it will draw satan's attention.

In Acts chapter twenty-eight, the apostle Paul is making his way to Rome through a storm, and then then a shipwreck and to top it off a snake bite! That's a lot to cope with! Now he's on the last leg of his journey, and he receives what must have been an unexpected yet very timely encouragement from some fellow believers, who traveled down from Rome to greet him.

If you'll recall in our recent studies of Acts on Sound Doctrine, we read about the Apostle Paul's shipwreck off the coast of Malta. We saw that, despite the challenges, Paul didn't let his circumstances derail him from his true focus - sharing the love of Christ! And what great encouragement that is to us to take advantage of the opportunities we have even today. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/621/29

Paul finds himself now shipwrecked and on the island of Malta. But God had promised him that he would make it to Rome, the voyage would resume, and not even a serpent could prevent that from happening! God always keeps His promises!

When it comes to spiritual matters, do you find yourself undecided? You may think you are, but the truth of the matter is, there is no such thing. We're either for Christ or against Him.

Today on Sound Doctrine we join pastor Jeff Johnson in Acts twenty-seven. Paul is at sea and on his way to Rome with a couple hundred other men. They encounter an enormous storm that lasts for fourteen days and they end up on the island of Malta.

Today on Sound Doctrine we'll notice that God is very much in control in a crisis. It's only natural to ask “why?”, when we go through a particularly tough time, so if that's you today, keep listening. And join pastor Jeff Johnson in Acts twenty-seven for a message that is appropriately titled, “God's in Control”. We'll begin with the story of Jacob.

Where should the Christian turn in times of crisis? Well, that's really what we need to hone in on, and we will today on Sound Doctrine, as pastor Jeff Johnson heads back to Acts twenty-seven. We'll start with verse twenty-one in part two of a message titled, “The Christian in Crisis”! To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/621/29

The Lord reminded us that we're certainly not going to win a popularity contest if we name the name of Christ and at times we'll face intense hatred and persecution.

Today on Sound Doctrine we bring you a timely message from Acts twenty-seven. The apostle Paul is in a severe storm in this chapter of his life, and desperation and fear could be seen on their faces.

Today on Sound Doctrine we visit Acts twenty-seven and hear of a situation so bad that even the apostle Paul himself was afraid. Paul is in rough seas, looking for safe harbor. There are some great life lessons we can draw from this voyage. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/621/29

Some travel for enjoyment, others for business and others still to advance the gospel. Paul was in that third category, and could write a book on it!

Maybe you've noticed as you've shared the gospel, not everyone reacts the same way. Yes there are those that embrace the message, but some get angry, others defensive, and some even get really close and are almost persuaded. Today on Sound Doctrine we'll take notice of these different reactions, and how we should respond to them. We're finishing up our series, “Being a Witness” today.

There are those who think they can have it both ways, but they are dead wrong! In that category of the unsaved is a range of people, from those who couldn't care less to those who are almost saved. I'm sure you know people in both categories. We'll meet someone who was almost a Christian today on Sound Doctrine, as we dig deeper into Acts twenty-six.

Today Pastor Jeff returns to his verse-by-verse study in the book of Acts. One of the best things you and I can take from a study in Acts is the fact that many centuries have passed since these events took place, but the world is still very similar today. We still face a spiritual battle every day and God's message of hope and deliverance hasn't changed. Turn with us to Acts chapter five as we begin with verse nineteen.

In chapter twenty-six, the Lord used the apostle Paul as a witness to King Agrippa, and all that were listening. That was a long time ago, but the cool thing is, the Lord wants to use us today to be His witness as well - wherever we may be!

I think we can all agree there's a growing chasm between God's plan for mankind, and mankind's plan for the future.

The early church was growing and thriving because of the work of the Apostles and that made the high priests of the day very jealous.

Now, if you've ever stood before a Judge, or even a school principal, you know how scary that can be. But Paul was at peace and not the least bit intimidated.

Last time, if you'll recall, the apostle Paul was in Roman custody and jailed. He's about to be taken before King Agrippa.

God has a plan for our lives. And often, that plan doesn't resemble out own plan. But even is we follow God's plan, don't think for a minute it's going to be a cake walk. At times we'll suffer for His name sake, even when we're in the middle of God's will. That rings loud and clear as we open up Acts twenty-five today on Sound Doctrine.
