God Rules Part 1a

October 15, 2022

We begin a new chapter in our study of Daniel today, and that’s chapter four.  I’m sure you’ve heard some amazing testimonies over the years, but this one takes the cake.  King Nebuchadnezzar would no doubt fall into the category of least likely to become a Christian.  But God got ahold of his life. He’s still performing saving miracles like this today.

References: Daniel 4:1-4

We’ve all experienced the pain on the other side of a hurtful, unfair accusation, or we’re the brunt of some harmful actions of another.  And when that happens it would be easy for us to grow bitter and angry.  But today on Sound Doctrine we’ll learn to adopt a much better response.  One of love, forgiveness, and bathed in prayer.

If you take a stand for Christ today, and live for the Lord, prepare to be hated.  It’s not hard to see the growing hostility toward the things of God in the world today.  But today on Sound Doctrine we’d like to pause for a moment to consider our response.  How should we respond to the haters we encounter?  Jeff Johnson says we can learn a thing or two from the apostle Paul’s reaction towards those that hated him!

When things go from bad to worse in our lives, we may start to wonder, Does God still love me?  The enemy will try to convince us that He doesn’t.  But the truth is, Nothing can separate us from Jesus’ love!  That’s the glorious reality we’ll unpack today on Sound Doctrine, as we make a return visit to Romans chapter eight.

When we fail, and we all do, the enemy loves to whisper in our ear words of condemnation!  But God on the otherhand wants us to hear His truth at such times!  That He cannot fail.  He won’t leave you, and nothing can separate you from His love.  Today on Sound Doctrine we’d like to draw your attention to marvelous truth, from Romans chapter eight.

Does it feel at times like the whole world is coming against you?  Maybe the pressure is so intense, you’re really down and discouraged about it?  While there are definitely some things that are against us as Christians, there’s something we don’t want you to lose sight of today on Sound Doctrine.  And that is, God is for you!  When you come to understand that, it makes all the difference in the world, as you make your way through life.

There is so much that we don’t know… our knowledge is very much limited.  But God on the otherhand knows everything.  He sees the big picture in your life, and is working out a wonderful plan.  With that in mind, doesn’t it make sense to trust Him?  Today on Sound Doctrine pastor Jeff Johnson encourages us in that direction, as we pay a visit to Romans chapter eight, and verses 29-31.  We’re going to see God’s purposeful plan for each of us, as we study God’s Foreknowledge.

We live in a world full of bad news, and we’re reminded of that every time we turn on the news.  From mass shootings, to inflation that’s out of control, or people dying unexpectedly!  And if this is all there was to look forward to, there would be no hope.  But today on Sound Doctrine we’ll see the hope we have in Jesus Christ and what awaits us in heaven.  We pray you’re left with an encouraged heart.  We’ll be covering Romans chapter eight, and verses 20-27 with pastor Jeff Johnson!
