Suffering God's Way Part 1
March 26, 2022
Someone has said “if you’re going through a difficult time keep going. Even the darkest hour still has only sixty minutes.” It’s easier said than done to be sure. And not to trivialize any suffering you’re facing but our aim is only to reassure you there’s hope and encouragement to be found in God’s Word, specifically First Peter. And that’s where we join pastor Jeff Johnson today on Sound Doctrine.

How would you like to be blessed by God? Today on Sound Doctrine we discover that obedience brings blessings beyond compare. Daniel and his friend would find that to be true, but it would necessitate going against the tide of pop culture. Pastor Jeff Johnson will relate this to our dark day, and encourage us to honor God through our lives.

As this world continues its downward spiral in moral depravity, the challenge for Christians is to live a life of no compromise. We certainly need encouragement in this area and Daniel gives it to us. From a very young age he purposed in his heart to serve the Lord and live a God pleasing life, refusing to go with the crowd.

Today on Sound Doctrine we open Daniel chapter one with pastor Jeff Johnson. And we’ll notice Daniel settled in his heart that he wasn't going to allow anything to get in the way of God's purpose for him. And pastor Jeff believes that's the sort of determination we need to carry through life. Maybe there’s something that’s getting in the way of that? Let’s carefully consider Daniel’s life of no compromise that can serve to encourage us greatly.

Daniel was a Christian young man who took a stand for God, and determined not to be defiled, under intense pressure to say the least. In addition to being a man of no compromise, he was also in the Word and in prayer on a regular basis. Pastor Jeff Johnson believes that’s the sort of people we’re to be in these last days.

When going through a trial do you think as so many do, “Why in the world is this happening to me!” It’s a common reaction these days. We may think it’s strange, or that we’ve done something wrong for this to happen. First Peter four reminds us that God allows Christians to suffer…. And He wants us to be a witness as we do.

We’re just getting started in Daniel, and here in the early going pastor Jeff Johnson is offering an introduction. You might think of it as a preview of coming attractions! While much of the book prophetic, it’s also very practical. And as you’ll see, it serves as inspiration to live a godly life, in an ungodly environment.

Today we polish off our study in Joshua, once again talking about the Power of Choice. It’s our hope and prayer that you’ll echo these words from Joshua, “As for me and my house we will serve the Lord!” If that’s your heart’s desire you’ll need to come to realize that you can’t do this in your own strength, and you’ll need to die to yourself too.

Anne Frank was heard to say, “Our lives are fashioned by our choices. First we make our choices. Then our choices make us.” And how true that is. And so today on Sound Doctrine we uncover the power of choice. Really the entire book of Joshua has been about choices, and so it's no surprise that the topic resurfaces here at the end of the book.
