Encouragement in Suffering - Episode 2
April 25, 2019
When it comes to trials no one usually rushes into them. But when they do come, our response to them is telling. As we look at the way in which the church in Thessalonica handled their circumstances, we notice how Paul commends their patience and endurance through trials of persecution. Pastor Jeff reminds us that God wants to actively work through the trials that we experience as well, if we will allow Him. And as the enemy seeks to weaken us through our trials, we are reminded that we need to run to the Lord and He will work on our behalf. With more on our study titled, “Encouragement in Suffering,” let’s join Pastor Jeff in 2 Thessalonians 1 for our time in Sound Doctrine.

But it’s been over 2,000 years and God’s people still haven’t grasped the power of God’s word. As Pastor Jeff Johnson finishes our time in the book of 1 Thessalonians we discover Paul’s view of God’s Word as a necessary component for God’s people to be read to the church. And our growth is in direct proportion to the time we spend in it. So, with our final study in 1 Thessalonians 5 here’s Pastor Jeff with our study titled, “My Prayer for You.”

God gives impossible promises to help us through impossible circumstances. When we read passages that tell us to rejoice always or in everything give thanks we’re tempted to dismiss it altogether. However, His promises shine impossible in the day, but always shine brightest in the night of our lives. Pastor Jeff Johnson helps us to see how these commands given in 1 Thessalonians provide the strength we need as we walk through various challenges within and outside the church. We invite you to turn to 1 Thessalonians 5 as we look at our Occupation Orders with Pastor Jeff Johnson.

The return of Jesus Christ is soon. How soon, we don’t know for sure. But, as Jesus encouraged, we do see the signs of the times. And as the times get darker according to various passages in the Word, we recognize that God has given us a job to do until He returns. Pastor Jeff Johnson takes us through 1 Thessalonians 5 with commands that call attention to our spiritual job description as believers while we wait and watch for the soon return of Jesus Christ. We invite you to follow along in 1 Thessalonians 5 as we begin our study titled, “Occupation Orders” for our time in Sound Doctrine.

The sour person says that life would be great, if it weren’t for all the people. That saying illustrates that while God loves us and Jesus died for us, it can be challenging to bearing with and encouraging those who require attention and help. It’s almost like being in a family. And that’s where we finish our study titled, “Family Matters” in 1 Thessalonians. Pastor Jeff helps us to see Jesus’ heart through Paul’s words in loving and leading those members that God seeks to minister to. So join us in 1 Thessalonians 5 for an encouraging time in Sound Doctrine.

It is no secret that God has given gifts to the church. Among them are those who are called to serve in the body of Jesus Christ. And while scandals throughout distant and recent memory have tarnished some of those who claim to represent God, Pastor Jeff reminds us that there are many still faithfully serving Jesus. And God is calling more of those who will take heed to the call to come and serve the Lord. With more on that, let’s join Pastor Jeff in 1 Thessalonians 5 for our study titled, “Family Matters” for our spiritual encouragement in Sound Doctrine.

Not too long ago one of the top wireless carriers had a character whose tag line was, “Can you hear me now?” It illustrated how common the loss of communication and dropped calls on certain carriers. In the same way, there is a loss of people feeling like they’re being heard as well, living lives of quiet desperation as Thoreau once penned. Pastor Jeff Johnson reminds us that there is a need for our world to receive comfort. And just as we have received comfort from Jesus, so too it is important to pass along that same comfort to others. With our final study titled, “What is our Hope?” let’s join Pastor Jeff in 1 Thessalonians 5 for our time in Sound Doctrine.
