Hopeless, but God, Part 1
June 8, 2018
Isaiah 64:6 tells that our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. When it comes to man’s depravity, our culture believes that Christians are picking on their behavior. The apostle Paul shows us that our sinful state has more to do with our condition than with our behavior. Today on Sound Doctrine Pastor Jeff Johnson shows 4 different ways in which sin has infected everyone and how God’s work has saved us from sin’s disastrous fallout. It’s another spiritual height in Ephesians 2 showing God’s great redemption. Join us for part one of our message titled, “Hopeless, But God” with Pastor Jeff Johnson.

Isn’t it true that the older you get, it seems that the body has more and more difficulty carrying out the commands from the head. You can’t seem to run as long, jump as high, or lift as much as you thought you could. Unfortuantely at times, the same is true for believers. The further they seem to walk along with Jesus Christ as their head, the less they respond as His body. In today’s edition of Sound Doctrine Pastor Jeff Johnson reminds us that it is vitally important for us to give the more earnest heed to the things we hear from God’s Word or we will slip away. With our final study titled, “He’s the Head” in Ephesians 1, here now is Pastor Jeff Johnson.

The more we see news on our devices and tvs, the more we realize that our world is in the End Times. As you watch nations threaten nations and political tensions increase, it’s no wonder why more and more drs. tell us that the greatest risk to our health is stress. Pastor Jeff reminds us that what we see happening in the End Times doesn’t have to impact His children as it impacts those who don’t know Christ. Like the man in Psalm 1 the things we delight in will determine our direction. As we delight in the Lord, we will have peace. We encourage you to learn more in our study titled, “He’s the Head” in Ephesians 1 with Pastor Jeff Johnson.

As believers there are times in our lives when we ask God for more of HIs Spirit, more of His power to be made known to us. However, today on Sound Doctrine, Pastor Jeff Johnson says that we don’t need more power. We need to realize the power that is already available to us in Christ. He shows us Jesus Christ is Head over all things to the church. With that in mind, we encourage you to join us in Ephesians 1 for our study titled, “He’s the Head” with Pastor Jeff Johnson.

There are times in life when we feel like we are all alone. As we have been going through the book of Ephesians, we have seen Paul’s emphasis on prayer. In our study we realize that Paul was a powerful witness because he was such a man of prayer. Hebrews 7:25 also tells us that Jesus lives to pray for us, so we know that we are never alone. Today on Sound Doctrine Pastor Jeff continues to show the power of prayer through the ministry of both Jesus and Paul. Join us for the next few moments as we finish our study titled, “The Power of Prayer” in Ephesians with Pastor Jeff Johnson.

As we follow the Lord and cultivate a heart to see others come to know Jesus Christ, there are invariably those who seem to be stubborn and holding out on surrendering their lives to God. Too many times we try to direct God when we pray, tell Him how to accomplish the salvation of friends or family. Today on Sound Doctrine Pastor Jeff reminds us that God knows what He is doing, but we have to be willing to accept that God will do whatever is necessary for those loved ones to know Him. With our study on the Power of Prayer in Ephesians 1, here now is Pastor Jeff Johnson.

Billy Graham has said that a prayerless Christian is a powerless Christian. Some of us might be surprised to learn how many opportunities have we missed to see prayer working in our lives. Today on Sound Doctrine Pastor Jeff Johnson helps us to see the necessary means and potential for God to work in and through our lives through prayer. He cautions us against trying to work out our problems in our strength and then reverting to prayer, and then he gives us a great example in Paul’s prayer for the church in Ephesus. So with our study titled, “Power of Prayer”, we invite you to join us in Ephesians 1 with Pastor Jeff Johnson.

Many years ago there was a song whose lyrics said, “Signed, Sealed, Delivered, I’m Yours.” These lyrics find their fulfillment in our relationship with Christ. Pastor Jeff explains on today’s edition of Sound Doctrine how we are a people who happily belong to the Lord who bought us with His blood. And because we are His purchased possession He takes great interest in what happens in our lives every waking moment. God’s interest and care for you and I isn’t rivaled by anything else in kthis world. Because of His Holy Spirit in our lives, He guarantees that we have a spot reserved for us in heaven. With our final study entitled, “The Mark of God,” here now, is Pastor Jeff Johnson.

So glad you could join us today as we are going through the book of Ephesians. Judging from our excerpt with Pastor Jeff you may have been led to think that we are already in Ephesians 5 looking at the role of husbands and wives. But today on Sound Doctrine Pastor Jeff Johnson reminds us that though we may not always experience the satisfaction or the complete fulfillment we would like in our marriage here and now, that joy is only a foreshadow of the reality of the what is a result of a born again relationship with Jesus Christ. And then He helps us to see that focusingl on the guarantee of our inheritance in Christ, God’s Spirit will help us in our marriages and our lives until He takes us home. With that in mind, let’s join Pastor Jeff in our study titled, “The Mark of God” in Ephesians 1.

Just as its true that as parents we would do things for our children that we wouldn’t naturally do for other children, so too God does for the believer what He doesn’t promise to do for anyone else. In study in Ephesians 1 today, Pastor Jeff Johnson shares what it means to be marked by God and in what way we belong to Him. And as he takes us through our passage today, we begin to see all that God has done forus and in us by His Holy Spirit. As the song says, We have been signed, sealed, and one day we shall be delivered to heave. Join us as we begin our study titled, “The Mark of God” with Pastor Jeff Johnson.

The American dream has often been described as a home with a white picket fence and 2.3 children and a rewarding job. However, in life we discover that such large doors swing on very small hinges. In other words, today Pastor Jeff Johnson reveals how in a few brief words, God describes how our lives are destined for far more than the American dream when we realize that we are created forJesus and by Jesus. And He is the One who holds us and all of creation together It is this truth and so much more that make up the third installment of our study called, “Our Firm Foundation.” With that in mind, we invite you to join us Ephesians 1 with Pastor Jeff Johnson.
