Take Heed: Understand the Times Part 2

July 30, 2024

Currently on the program, we’re studying the gospel of Matthew. This account of the life and ministry of Jesus Christ has many enriching lessons for us, including a very important warning in chapter sixteen.  Here Jesus warns us, ““Take heed of the leven of the Pharisees!”  These Pharisees were doing many religious things, but inside they were full of dead men’s bones!   They were hypocritical.  And this sort of hypocrisy is alive and well, even in the church today.  

References: Matthew 16:1-12

So you’re layed off from work, and no one is hiring in your field of expertise.  Or you’re hit with medical bills that far surpass what you have in the bank!  It’s about that time that we can start to worry!  But today on Sound Doctrine we’ll be encouraged to hear how God provides and meets our needs.  You’ll hear how He came through for close to 12 thousand hungry gentiles in a big way.  It’s reminiscent of a miracle we heard earlier in Matthew’s gospel.

Today we’ll join pastor Jeff Johnson at the tail-end of Matthew chapter fifteen.  God is our great provider!  He loves to meet our every need, and that really jumps off the page here in this section of Scripture.  Jesus is about to feed thousands of people, once again underscoring He loves to meet needs.  He can do the same in your life, so trust Him!

When we’re in a desperate situation, we can respond in a number of different ways.  But the best thing we can do at such times, is draw close to the Lord in worship.  We’ll hear of a dear woman who did just that, today on Sound Doctrine.

As parents nothing pulls at our heart strings like when a child of ours is in trouble or hurting.  Today on Sound Doctrine we’ll hear of a woman in a desperate situation.  Her daughter is demon possessed!  But it would lead her into worship of Jesus.  And pastor Jeff Johnson will show us why this was effective worship, today!

Is your heart right with the Lord… that all-important question is before us today on Sound Doctrine as we head over to Matthew chapter fifteen.  Pastor Jeff Johnson cautions us not to be like the Pharisees of old, who were critical and judgmental, caught up in hypocrisy.  If we’re not careful we can start to elevate traditions above the very Word of God like they did, and that’s a big mistake.

We hear a lot about love these days.  Whether it be in the movies we watch or the music we listen to!  But more often than not the love that is portrayed is a far cry from God’s love!  Today on Sound Doctrine God’s love is defined for us through a study in First John chapter three.

Today on Sound Doctrine we’ll talk about a group of men that really destroyed their lives in the name of keeping tradition. There’s a lot of that going on today in case you haven’t noticed!  And there are a series of valuable lessons that we need to learn from this!

When we’re in a stormy trial we can so easily settle into fear!  We get our eyes on the circumstances and start to panic!  But there’s a better way to go, and it’s pictured for us in Matthew chapter fourteen.  Today on Sound Doctrine pastor Jeff Johnson shows us how God wants to give us victory in times like these.  He just wants us to keep our eyes on Him and choose faith over fear!
