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.

And what’s exciting to discover is that God has not only given us a part, but will gift and equip us for that role.   As we continue in Romans fifteen, we’ll focus in on verses fourteen through sixteen. It’s there we’re given insight on our role in church ministry.

It’s been said, “We all come from the same mold, yet some are a little moldier than others.” While we chuckle at that, one thing is for sure… God loves them and we should too. But that can be a challenge, On today’s Sound Doctrine we’ll get some much needed help. We’re in the book of Romans, chapter fifteen.

Maybe you’ve had someone say to you, “You’re the spitting image of your mom or dad!”  You may or may not have taken that as a compliment.  But today on Sound Doctrine we’ll learn that to be like Jesus is the highest goal in life.  And there’s no greater thing that could be said of you!

This is our final broadcast of 2022 here on Sound Doctrine.  What a year it has been. Bizarre to put it mildly!  And we could so easily lose heart if our focus is on the darkness.  We thought we’d elevate your perspective today by looking at Titus chapter two.  It’s a passage that really urges us to look to Jesus and be ready for His coming.   A much needed reminder as we get ready for 2023.

2022…it was quite a year.  Maybe as you look back you’d describe it as turbulent, dark or just plain crazy!  What will this next year look like?  The Bible does say that in the last days perilous times will come!  So today on Sound Doctrine we’ll encourage you to fix your eyes on Jesus and His soon return, and live as children of light.  God wants us to be His witnesses in these difficult last days.
