A Closer Look into Paradise Part 2

February 6, 2023

We bring you a closer look into paradise today on Sound Doctrine. Pastor Jeff Johnson is just getting started in his study of Genesis, and today we’re talking about two trees!  One that God planted in the garden… the tree of knowledge of good and evil.  The second is the cross, where Jesus was crucified for the sins of mankind.  Yes paradise was lost when sin entered the world.  But paradise is regained through faith in what Jesus did on that cross!

Are you in the midst of a scary trial?  Few things in life are as scary as being thrown into a den of man-eating, hungry lions! That’s where we find Daniel today on Sound Doctrine.  And yet Daniel trusted God every step of the way, and God would deliver him.  With that in mind, we can and must trust the Lord in every situation we find ourselves in.

How did the universe, the world, and everything in it come into being?  Was there some sort of a big bang or did God do it?  Open your school text book and you might be confused on the answer to that, but if you open Genesis you’ll arrive at the truth!  That’s where we’re headed today on Sound Doctrine.  Pastor Jeff Johnson shows us today we can trust the Bible contains the truth, and that includes the creation account!  We’ll be in Genesis one looking at the days of creation!

Pastor Jeff Johnson is midway through a series in Daniel.  In chapter six the enemies of Daniel set a crafty trap.  A law is enacted by the King which in essence says you can’t pray to anyone but the King.  And if you do you’ll be thrown into the Lion’s Den.  Think that stopped Daniel?  Not a chance.  Let’s see what we can learn from this courageous Christian.

Whether you’re talking about a home, a car or that smart phone you have in your back pocket, we realize it didn’t just come together by itself by random chance!  Someone designed and made it for a purpose!  So why do some have such a hard time believing God created you and me, the world, and everything in it? Today on Sound Doctrine we take you back to the beginning and the creation account recorded for us in Genesis.  The first verses in our Bibles speak of God’s creative work.

Today on Sound Doctrine we turn back to the beginning.  Maybe like a lot of people you’re wondering how in the world we got here?  Was there some sort of an explosion caused by random chance that sprung creation into existence or is there a creator behind it all?  Genesis has the answer we’re looking for, and we’d invite you to join us there as we begin a new chapter by chapter study of this first book of the Bible.

Today we will be wrapping up our lengthy study in Romans.  As the apostle Paul put the finishing touches on his epistle he made mention of some faithful friends that were with him in the trenches!  Not much is said of them, just a simple but powerful word or sentence.  We’ll personalize all of this, and ask how would our life and ministry be summed up in a word or two?
