Because He Lives (Part1) Episode 1
July 31, 2019
Sin brings sickness, sorrow, and death. And Jesus came to deliver us from a life that is dominated by sin. As we look at the picture of the lame man who was healed, Pastor Jeff uses him as an illustration of who the Lord doesn’t want us to be: one who simply ekes out an existence with no hope, and without God. As we learn lessons from this impactful study the Lord will help us also to be able to walk by the power of God as well. Join us in Acts 3 for our time in Sound Doctrine for our study titled, “Because He Lives” part 1 with Pastor Jeff Johnson.

Sin brings sickness and death. It produces calloused hearts and minds. It’s no wonder that in the picture of the lame man we are able to recognize a picture of our lives before Jesus Christ came in. And as we continue to look at the message from the life of the lame man, Pastor Jeff helps us to see how bad was our condition without Jesus. And the salvation God has brought us when we least expected it. With compelling scriptures and personal experience Pastor Jeff opens up the Word to see how Jesus is still able to do the same thing through us as He once did for us. Join us in Acts 3 for our study titled, “Rise up and Walk” part 2.

A miracle is by definition a suspension of the natural and physical laws around us. They are uncommon phenomena that God works at His discretion. Such was the case of the healing of the lame man in Acts 3. Two faithful followers of Jesus were used by God to get the attention of those who needed to hear the message of salvation. God wanted to take one miracle of physical healing and work other miracles of spiritual healing through salvation. Pastor Jeff helps us to see what God is did and what Jesus will do in the life that is yielded to Him. With more on our study titled, “Rise up and Walk Part 2” let’s join Pastor Jeff in our time in Sound Doctrine.

When it comes to healing, is God bound by a template that says only those who are demonstrating faith to be healed, will be healed? Or does God exercise His Sovereign will in our affairs as we invite Him to be our Lord? Pastor Jeff shares important principles from God’s Word to show how God isn’t restrained by a pattern, but He moves in what will work best for His glory and our good. He simply calls us to trust Him. We invite you to follow along in part 2 of our study titled, “Rise Up and Walk” for our time in Sound Doctrine, with Pastor Jeff Johnson.

What is a believer’s responsibility to the social gospel; that is the need to improve the social, moral, and economic conditions of our culture? Pastor Jeff reminds us that there is one side that is emphasized while many times the actual Gospel of Jesus Christ is abandone. He then helps us to see what is a proper Biblical balance in light of the social issues we confront. With more on this, let’s join Pastor Jeff in Acts 3 for our study titled, “Rise up and Walk, Pt 1” for our time in Sound Doctrine

The Bible is both a spiritual, and a very practical book. It outlines how we are to live as citizens on this earth and citizens of heaven as well. That’s why in our study today we are going to look at topics like prayer, how to respond to the homeless and those in need, and how to use our gifts. Pastor Jeff helps us to see the partnership of God initiating and us responding to His Holy Spirit in order to be used by Him. Stay tuned as Pastor Jeff shares on these important issues back then and now in Acts 3 for our study titled, “Rise up and Walk!”

Conspicuously absent in the church today is the appearance of miracles as we see in the book of Acts. Pastor Jeff gives both the cause and the reason for that phenomenon and shows what led to the miracle of the healing of the lame man in that first fellowship of believers. And he shows that as we seek to reclaim some of those areas that have been neglected in today’s church, we will then allow God to do what He wants to do. In this study that is both an observation and a sobering comparison, it causes us to ask the Lord to search our hearts today. With more on that, let’s join Pastor Jeff in Acts 3 on the study titled, “Rise Up and Walk.”

Spiritual growth in the Lord doesn’t happen in a day, but it happens daily. Advancing in sanctification, or Christian growth, happens by continual exposure to the things that God has given to us. As we conclude our study on the outcome on the actions from Acts 2:42, Pastor Jeff reminds us of the 4 by- products that we need to emulate in order to actually experience that growth like we see in the book of Acts. We invite you to join us for our time in Acts 2 as we conclude the message titled, “The Christian Lifestyle” in our study of Sound Doctrine.

How often is necessary for a Christian to be experiencing fellowship, God’s Word, and prayer? For some the answer seems obvious. For other believers, it’s based on a sense of perception, or self-evaluation. However, Pastor Jeff shows us from today’s portion in the Scriptures the frequency of being in the Word, Fellowship, and prayer that made a difference among those who came to the Lord. With personal anecdotes of his experience and Biblical references, let’s join Pastor Jeff in Acts 2 for our message titled, “The Christian Lifestyle” for this Friday edition of Sound Doctrine.

What does a changed lifestyle look like? For the person whose life has been transformed by Jesus Christ, who is following Acts 2:42, what should they expect God to do in them and around them? We need to look no further than our portion of Scripture before us today. Pastor Jeff helps us to see how the community in Jerusalem was impacted by the sudden and powerful testimony of the brand new church who continually met in the midst. As we allow our lifestyle to be changed to reflect the same spiritual pursuits, we too can expect God to do a work among our families, our community, and more. We invite you to the message titled, “The Christian Lifestyle” in Acts 2 for our time in Sound Doctrine with Pastor Jeff.

With so much focus on work-life balance, the implication is that our existence mostly consists of those two categories. However the Bible declares that if we have a spiritual balance of 4 spiritual fundamentals then, work...life...and all other areas will find their rightful order, because we have a proper spiritual-life balance with the Lord first. For this reason Pastor Jeff has taken the time to slow down and examine the need for these 4 key areas. As we finish with a look at prayer, we see that the early believers’ dependence on prayer is often absent with today’s church. Pastor Jeff helps us to see how we can regain that personally. With our study in Acts 2, - titled, “Being an Acts 2:42 Christian” join us for today’s encouragement in Sound Doctrine.
