Is Your Heart Christ's Home, Part 1
July 4, 2018
While we all want greater prayer lives, we desire to see God do more in and through our lives. it seems the one obstacle standing in our way seems to be...actually taking the time to pray. For some it is simply the idea that God doesn’t answer our prayers in the way we think He should. Martin Luther said, “Prayer is not overcoming God’s reluctance, but laying hold of His willingness.” In Ephesians 3 today, Pastor Jeff Johnson shows the posture of prayer that Paul possessed as he interceded for the church in Ephesus. He reminds us of what God is able to do when we take the time to seek Him. With more on that in our message titled, “Is Your Heart Christ’s Home?” let’s join Pastor Jeff for today’s encouragement in Sound Doctrine.

The Bible tells us that it is required in stewards that one be found faithful. When the church was looking for people to serve the widows the daily bread, they looked for those who were filled with the Holy Spirit, wisdom, and a good reputation. Today Pastor Jeff reminds us that the men and women who were used of God in history had such a close relationship with the Lord that it spoke loudly to their generation. He then challenges us to possess the same faithfulness, filling of the Spirit and an expectation to the return of Jesus Christ that it speaks to our generation. With more on that in our study titled, “Mystery Revealed,” here is Pastor Jeff Johnson in Ephesians 3 for today’s encouragement in Sound Doctrine.

In the academic world, the accumulation of knowledge is usually regarded as a reflection of the individual’s own intelligence, often leading to pride. However, Biblical knowledge, knowledge of God’s ways is the result of obedience according to Jesus with the end result of humility. Today on Sound Doctrine Pastor Jeff shows what was once said by A.W. Tozer, that, “Unless God hurts a man deeply, he cannot use him greatly.” For many they are in the place of being hurt deeply in order to cling to the Lord and only then is He able to use them for His glory. Pastor Jeff shares how God did that work in the life of the apostle Paul, and still wants to do that work in our lives as we surrender to Him. With that in mind, let’s join Pastor Jeff in Ephesians 3 for our study titled, “Mystery Revealed.”

You can’t buy it, earn it, or deserve it. You can’t make it or exhaust it. It doesn’t originate with you, or end with you. It builds up, never brings down. It is always available, it gives life and doesn’t take it away, except once. I am speaking of course of the grace of God from the cross of Jesus Christ. It sets us free from sin, and the guilt and shame that accompany it. It is referred to as God’s love stooping down towards His creation. And today on Sound Doctrine Pastor Jeff finishes our study in Ephesians 3 showing how Paul the Apostle was a prisoner and steward of God’s grace to the Gentile world. Wit

When it comes to spending time with believers, it is a blessing. But on occasion Christians have also been referred to as porcupines. Because we both needle each other, but we also need each other. Today on Sound Doctrine Pastor Jeff Johnson echoes that sentiment as he shows us that Jesus is our cornerstone and we are living stones. And as with the construction of the temple, the stones were so assembled that at times there was a lot of pressure and irritation, so it is like the Lord to use brothers and sisters at times to be a part of the trials we experience. But with those trials comes great growth and lessons of leaning on Jesus. And with that backdrop of being built together in Christ, here is Pastor Jeff with our message titled, “Welcome to the Family” in Ephesians 2.

America is no stranger to racial tension. From the very beginning when settlers and Native Americans clashed all throughout history to slavery, segregation in schools, and protests taking place even in recent years. Just a glance at the current state of affairs between races will reveal all is not well in America, and for that matter planet earth as well. Today on Sound Doctrine the Apostle Paul shows how Christ has abolished, broken down the separation, and removed the enmity that exists.
