Needed for Today: Humility and Resistance Part 1

April 30, 2022

In Proverbs 8:13, we read, “To fear the Lord is to hate evil: I hate pride and arrogance, evil behavior and perverse speech.”  This is just one of many places in Scripture where God makes it clear what He thinks of pride.  He resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.  We’re going to take notice of two things we need in our lives, through a study of First Peter five.  Pastor Jeff Johnson says it’s Humility and Resistance.

References: 1 Peter 5:5-9

Pastor Jeff Johnson is in the middle of a study in Daniel, and today we join him in chapter six.  We’ve seen it happen recently, where the Government issues an order, and as the church we’re faced with the decision will we obey God or man?  That’s the decision Daniel would have to make at this point in his life.  Let’s see together how he would respond with prayer!

It’s one thing to be faithful to the Lord when things are going great, but what about when the heat is on and your very own life is threatened if you do?  Today on Sound Doctrine we’re encouraged in the direction of faithfulness to God no matter what.  We’ll see what that looks like in the life of Daniel.

We live in a world that is becoming more and more hostile toward Christians. All around the world we see the persecution of believers growing at an alarming rate. And we even see that that here in America, especially in recent years. Today on Sound Doctrine pastor Jeff Johnson teaches from Daniel chapter 6 about the persecution of Daniel that landed him in the lion’s den.  It’s one of the more familiar stories in the Old Testament.

Wouldn’t you like to be an effective tool in the hands of Almighty God in these last days?  You can be, and the Prophet Daniel shows us how!  Daniel was completely sold out to the Lord, and kept his eyes focused on what God called him to do.  On the otherhand we’ll meet a King today on Sound Doctrine who was in complete rebellion against God.  Pastor Jeff Johnson has us consider which of these two paths will we take in life through his message in Daniel chapter five.

We’ve all seen graffiti as we drive around town, and it’s very often someone trying to get a message across in a very inappropriate way.  Like to a rival gang.  But today on Sound Doctrine we’re going to draw your attention to God’s Graffiti, meant to convey a very important and needed message to a King and people who were out of line.

First Peter chapter five is before us today on Sound Doctrine.  It’s a wonderful passage pastors and leaders should take to heart, and frame their ministry around.  It’ll help them steer clear of the wrong attitude and action, and be a God-honoring leader instead!  Today pastor Jeff Johnson will direct our attention to this helpful section.

Pastor Jeff Johnson is leading us through the book of Daniel.  Don’t you get the feeling that Jesus is coming really soon!  The rapture of the church could happen at any time.  We need to realize our days are numbered… whether it’s Jesus gathering the church to be with Him or we die.  But the question we bring before you today is, are you ready?

God often shows up in our lives, in ways we might not expect, but at just the right time!  Today on Sound Doctrine we’ll see an example of that as the Lord reveals Himself suddenly, breaking up a party, all to convey an important message.  We dig into Daniel chapter five and examine the handwriting on the wall… a message written by God that has great application to us today.

As Christians we have a unique and powerful testimony.  Some are rather dramatic like the one you’ll hear today on Sound Doctrine.  But all are miraculous.   Pastor Jeff Johnson is about to finish up Daniel chapter four, which is a summary of King Nebuchadnezzar’s testimony.   You’ll hear how God got his attention in a very amazing way and Nebuchadnezzar would end up being a witness of God’s loving grace.

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!
