Christmas Message Part 1

December 23, 2021

“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 antidote. That comes to our attention on today’s Sound Doctrine. As we fast approach Christmas we’ll take a pause in our study of the book of Joshua and turn to the gospel of Luke.

It’s found in the memorial stones described in Joshua chapter four.

Read the early part of the Old Testament and you’ll see God faithfully take a few million people out of Egypt, lead them across the Red Sea, and take care of them for forty years in the wilderness.  Now it’s time for them to enter into the Promised Land.  Can you imagine the excitement?  And the Lord does this in grand fashion through a mighty miracle.  Pastor Jeff Johnson is going to offer highlights from Joshua chapter four.

“Faith never knows where it is being led,” said Oswald Chambers.

We’ve all heard of “Faith that moves mountains” but there’s a faith that moves a scarlet cord that’s just as impressive. It’s the faith of Rehab and one proof of it is putting a scarlet cord in her window.  We’ll hear about that on today’s Sound Doctrine with pastor Jeff Johnson.
