A Christmas Story God's Perfect Timing Part 1

December 22, 2022

“The fear of man,” the Bible says, “is a snare.” Men use it to trap others, to control them, or worse. But there’s an anecdote I’m happy to say. That comes to our attention on today’s Sound Doctrine. As we fast approach Christmas we’ll turn to the gospel of Luke.  I know you’ll be encouraged as we do. 

References: Luke 1:26-47

All this week we’re airing a series of Christmas messages from pastor Jeff Johnson.  And today’s program centers around Isaiah chapter seven and some important prophecy.  If I was to ask you what is the point of Christmas, what would you say?  Some might think of family gatherings, presents to be shared and received.  But today we’ll discover that it’s really found in the name given to the Messiah… Emmanuel!

If you’re like a lot of Christians you don’t know much about Hanukkah or the Festival of Lights.  If that would describe you, we hope to change that today on Sound Doctrine.  Pastor Jeff Johnson will take us to John chapter ten and reveal that even Jesus was involved in the celebration.  We’ll learn what this holiday is about, which this year begins on December 18th and carries on for eight days.

Yes we’ve been given many liberties in the Lord!  But before we go ahead and exercise them we need to ask, “Could this stumble a brother or sister?”  Your answer to that all-important question will serve to guide you in your decision to refrain or go ahead!  We'll talk about it today!

What would you be willing to sacrifice in order to love somebody? It’s a probing question and it’s one only you can answer.  In Romans chapter fourteen we’re given some valuable instruction on the things God may have us let go of in order to show love.

Criticizing and judging, there’s no shortage of that in the church today.  And sadly many churches are known for it.  When we should be known by our love instead.  Today on Sound Doctrine pastor Jeff Johnson encourages us to get along and avoid judging and criticizing over non-essential issues.  There’s far too much at stake!

Why is it that we so often have the hardest time getting along with some of our family members?  That’s also the case in the family of God.  Just look at all the bickering and fighting going on in the church today!  But today on Sound Doctrine we’ll learn why it’s important that we get along!

The day of worship, tattoos, movies, music, dancing or what we wear!  I could go on for days citing examples of things we might refer to as disputable matters!  Areas that aren’t prohibited in Scripture.  Today on Sound Doctrine we’ll learn how to exercise our liberties in a God-honoring way, and come to the realization that it’s ok if we disagree in these areas.  Pastor Jeff Johnson will use Romans chapter fourteen as the springboard for today’s insightful message.

Wouldn’t you like to be an effective tool in the hands of Almighty God in these last days?  You can be, and the Prophet Daniel shows us how!  Daniel was completely sold out to the Lord, and kept his eyes focused on what God called him to do.  On the otherhand we’ll meet a King today on Sound Doctrine who was in complete rebellion against God.  Pastor Jeff Johnson has us consider which of these two paths will we take in life through his message in Daniel chapter five.
