Avoiding Gossip/Being a Peacemaker Part 2

March 3, 2022

"Hey have you heard the news!"  If you’re like most, your ears perk up when you hear that line.  It’s usually followed up with some sort of rumor or gossip.  But today on Sound Doctrine we’ll see why we need to shut it down, and avoid getting caught up in it.  Pastor Jeff Johnson opens Joshua chapter 22 and reveals how gossip can ruin lives and even a ministry or church.

You’ve probably noticed in recent years the increase of verbal altercations, breakdown of communication, and even division.  Sadly this is happening at an alarming rate even in the church.  Today on Sound Doctrine we’ll receive some valuable counsel from Joshua chapter 22 that will serve to help us get along with each other.

Victory, blessings beyond compare and rest for your soul!  How does that sound?  Maybe sounds a little too good to be true.  But we’ll see today it can be a reality, and the pathway to it hasn’t changed over the years.

There’s a beautiful hymn that starts off, “Take my life and let it be consecrated Lord to thee!”  One might think that’s the sort of song the Levites would sing in their worship of the Lord.  And we’ll allow their lives to be an inspiration to our own, today on Sound Doctrine.  Pastor Jeff Johnson returns to his study of Joshua today.  And we’re giving attention to some wonderful ministers of God known as the Levites.

When a severe trial strikes like a Pandemic, it’s easy to think something is wrong or that God must be mad at us!  But the truth of the matter is, every Christian will go through trials and it doesn’t diminish God’s love for us, or necessarily indicate it’s as a result of sin in our lives!  Today on Sound Doctrine we continue to receive encouragement, practical instruction and eternal perspective for those times when we suffer greatly.

Pastor Jeff Johnson will be in Joshua chapter 21.  We’re going to introduce you to the Levites who were leaders in worship, and served as Priests of God.  They lived a life of dedication to God.  Pastor Jeff will suggest that’s the sort of life every believer should have in his message, “Oh to Be a Levite.”

A place of shelter, protection and safety where those who are in trouble can flee… that’s descriptive of a refuge!  Something we all need and it’s our focus on today’s Sound Doctrine with pastor Jeff Johnson. We’ve been learning about the cities of refuge described in Joshua chapter twenty. The need for these cities points to a greater need and provision.

When emotions are the determining factor in the governing of citizens, the innocent are not protected and guilty are not justly punished. God anticipated this problem and has a solution. Hear all about it on today’s Sound Doctrine with pastor Jeff Johnson. You’ll find it in chapter twenty of book of Joshua – where we learn about the cities of refuge.

Capital crime and how to deter it, along with protecting the innocent is not a new problem. And it’s not without a remedy.   We’ve come to chapter twenty of Joshua where we learn about God’s provision – the cities of refuge.

It’s righteousness that exalts a nation! Without it, a nation quickly begins to decline. Both Lincoln and Washington understood this and sought to incentivize it for the sake of our country.  We continue in the book of Joshua who is incentivizing his fellow countrymen – starting with the tribe of Benjamin.

Jeff Johnson brings a special message full of hope and encouragement this weekend.  And I think you’d agree, we need plenty of that right now with all that’s been going on. These are dark days, and people are afraid.  But we can move from fear to faith, if we’ll look to Jesus and stand on His promises.
