June 14, 2019
Balance. It’s the equal distribution of weight; It is equilibrium. What is taken for granted among individuals, it is often a challenge for churches to possess. Pastor Jeff Johnson shows that the book of Acts provides the balance to maintaining a close relationship with God’s Spirit and focusing on Jesus as the center and cornerstone of the church. During these last days, the quality of balance becomes increasingly important as we see churches succumb to quick growth schemes. So with our study in Acts 1, let’s join Pastor Jeff for the message titled, “The Baptism of the Holy Spirit,”

Though they have been recording amazing feats for years, neither the Guinness Book of World Records nor Ripley’s Believe It or Not, have recorded anything that compares to Jesus’ resurrection from the dead, victory over sin, and ascension to heaven.

So with our message titled, “Intro to the Acts of the Holy Spirit”, let’s join Pastor Jeff in Acts 1 for our time in Sound Doctrine.

Missions, evangelism, the resurrection, revival, and so much more all in the book of Acts. For the serious student of Scripture, we are embarking on a journey to deepen our roots in the Lord. With Pastor Jeff Johnson leading us in those key themes throughout this important book, the Holy Spirit wants to peel back those areas of our walk and witness to give us His power in those areas where we need Him most. And while some lessons come with pain, they actually help us to understand Jesus’ heart even more. So, grab your Bible as we continue our study on the Intro to the Acts of the Holy Spirit with Pastor Jeff in Acts 1.

It’s a sad but true saying that inoculation against the truth is from the truth itself. As we continue with our first studies in the book of Acts, Pastor Jeff Johnson warns us that this book is not a safe book to read. In fact, we discover that it may cause us to see areas in our hearts and lives that are unhealthy. To the person who doesn’t want to change, that presents a danger. However, as we look into the word with unveiled faces, God’s Spirit is doing those changes to make us more like Jesus. Let’s listen in to our study titled, “Intro the Acts of the Holy Spirit” in Acts 1 with Pastor Jeff Johnson.

A.W. Tozer said, “If the Holy Spirit was withdrawn from the church today, 95 percent of what we do would go on and no one would know the difference. If the Holy Spirit had been withdrawn from the New Testament church, 95 percent of what they did would stop, and everybody would know the difference.” As we start a new series in the book of Acts, Pastor Jeff peels back the curtain on the acts of the early believers to show how the Holy Spirit was and still is essential to the work of the church. With our study titled, “Intro to the Acts of the Holy Spirit,” let’s join Pastor Jeff in Acts 1.

In our era of studying famous leaders and titans of industry or history, the question of “What makes you tick,” is often examined. While the answers vary from person to person, yet for the Christian, the answer is the Word of God. It is the bridge to walking in the peace and grace of God. Pastor Jeff Johnson reminds us that the believers in the NT maintained a close communion with God because they had a close relationship with the Word. And our experience of His peace is in direct proportion to our time in it. And join us Monday as we begin to look at a new study in the book of Acts. until then we invite you in our time in 2 Thess 3 with Pastor Jeff Johnson.

War will cease with the presence of peace. While not intended to rhyme that is the message that Pastor Jeff Johnson shares as we wind down to our last two studies in the book of 2 Thessalonians. He helps us to see that while we don’t minimize the reality of the struggles and pressures in life, It is through God’s enabling of Grace and peace that we are strengthened to handle the surprises that life throws at us. With our message titled, “He is Able to Enable”, let’s join Pastor Jeff in 2 Thessalonians 3 for our study in Sound Doctrine.

The joy and peace that we desire is met across the threshold of repentance. With these two themes of repentance and peace we find ourselves as we say goodbye to 2 Thessalonians before we welcome our new study in the book of Acts. Pastor Jeff underscores the need for repentance in order to experience God’s ability to give us His peace, even in the midst of some of the greatest stress and upheaval. Tune in as we learn about how “He is Able to Enable” in 2 Thessalonians 3 with Pastor Jeff Johnson for our time in Sound Doctrine.

The need of discipline and the nature of discipline are both the focus when it comes to the body of Jesus Christ correcting with those influences that would bring sickness to its members. It’s not just the job of the Pastor, or of the elders, but Pastor Jeff Johnson speaks about the need for each member of the body to spot and address those unhealthy influences that bring disorder and infect others’ lives. And while confrontation is never easy, it is necessary. We encourage you to take note of this important area of church discipline in our study titled, “Orders from Headquarters,” as we come near the

The Bible says that a little leaven can leaven the whole lump. It’s a spiritual principle speaking of the permeating influence of even a little area of compromise or sin can impact great areas. This was true when it came to the church in Thessalonica. Pastor Jeff Johnson shows how the fellowship had a small group of people who were disorderly, bringing disorder into the fellowship because of their unwillingness to work. He shares Paul’s remedy for such groups of people, both in the church then, and now. We invite you to turn to 2 Thessalonians 3 for our time in Sound Doctrine.

There is a false perception among some in the church that labor was a result of the curse, when in truth, labor existed before sin entered into humanity. God has provided work as a fulfillment for man’s own benefit. God always calls those who are already busy to serve Him. As we look at the model that Paul gave the church in Thessalonica, he shows that his work continued on while he ministered to the believers there. Pastor Jeff helps us to see it is this is the way ministry should be because work builds character. So join us as we finish the message titled, “Paul’s Final Warning,” in 2 Thessalonians 3 for our exhortation in Sound Doctrine.
