God Rules Part 2b

November 5, 2022

We may look upon others as though they’re a hard nut to crack, and that they’ll never get saved.  But God has a nutcracker, and knows how to get our attention.  Today on Sound Doctrine we’ll recall the testimony of King Nebuchadnezzar.  At one time a proud and stubborn ruler. But he would hit rock bottom, lose his kingdom and go insane for a time.  God would open his eyes to what he needed, a Savior!

As you read through your Old Testament you can see God’s marvelous work within the nation of Israel.  From rescuing them from Egypt, to providing for them in the wilderness.  Thousands of years have past and we may wonder what is God’s plan for them now?  Today on Sound Doctrine pastor Jeff Johnson presents a message called, “Down but Not Out!”  While they have rejected their Messiah, God has not forsaken them.

We’ll be finishing up Romans chapter ten today.  As you think back on the evangelists that God has greatly used, Billy Graham and Dwight L. Moody probably come to mind.  But what if I was to tell you that God wants you to be an evangelist too?  And by His strength and resources, you can be very effective at it.   Whether it’s at work, in the neighborhood, or at home.

Part of the job description for the Christian involves evangelism.  But very sadly this is often neglected.  Some are under the impression this is the pastor’s job.  But in reality every Christian is to be involved in the work of an evangelist.  So how are you doing with that?  I think we can all use some encouragement in this area, so let’s turn to Romans chapter ten and join pastor Jeff Johnson for today’s Sound Doctrine.

“Every Christian is either a missionary or an imposter.” So, said famed British preacher Charles Spurgeon. But it’s more than an assertion, it’s a challenge for the Christian to really be a Christian. You see once we receive the gospel, we’re then to share it.  Today on Sound Doctrine pastor Jeff Johnson takes us to Romans chapter ten.  The emphasis here is on reaching out with the gospel.

Perhaps you heard about the parable of four people and a job to be done? In the end, “Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.” All kidding aside it begs the question, what work is the Christian to be involved in, and are we doing it?  Today on Sound Doctrine pastor Jeff Johnson open Romans chapter ten, and encourages us to get involved in the work of an evangelist!

We're in Daniel chapter four, at verse nineteen.  You can probably think of someone right now that you believe will never get saved.  King Nebuchadnezzar could fall into that category.  But God got His attention and saved him.  It’s such an encouraging reminder that nobody is beyond God’s reach and willingness to save.

When you receive some good news, you normally can’t wait to tell someone right?  Maybe you quickly create a post on social media, or make a few phone calls!  But why is it that we so often clam up when it comes to sharing the greatest news of all?  Today on Sound Doctrine pastor Jeff Johnson points out the need for evangelism.  When God saves us, He then wants us to pass this good news on to others, so that they too can be saved.

Pastor Jeff is in Romans chapter ten today talking about the need for evangelism.  Now you might be under the impression that evangelism is best left up to the Great Lauries and Franklin Grahams of the world.  But the truth is God wants every believer to be involved in the work of evangelism.  Whether it’s at the office, with the family, or as you’re seated next to a total stranger, God can use you in great ways as you faithfully share His good news.

“Oh you Christians are so narrow-minded!”  Ever heard that one before?  When we proclaim there is one way to heaven, it’s upsetting to some.  But it is the truth, and Romans makes that abundantly clear.   Today on Sound Doctrine pastor Jeff Johnson lays out God’s one way to heaven through faith in Christ.   And then we’re to unashamedly tell others about it too.  We’ll be finishing Romans chapter nine today.   
October 26, 2022
Today we pickup where we left off in Romans chapter nine, at verse twenty-five.   While many today claim that there are many roads to God and heaven, the truth of the matter is, there’s really only one way!   It’s God’s way, paved by Christ, through His work on the cross.  Some find this message far too narrow, but really we should be thankful there is a way!
