Pastor Jeff Johnson is knee deep into his study of Matthew’s gospel, and today we have another look into chapter thirteen… where we find 7 parables of Christ.  The one we’ll explore today speaks volumes to those of us living in the last days.  We’re to be truth dispensers, giving out God’s truth every chance we get.

Would you best be described as a loving person, or full of hate?  Pastor Jeff Johnson says how you answer that says a lot about your spiritual condition.  Today on Sound Doctrine we’ll learn why the Christian is to follow God’s lead by loving other people.  We’ll contrast that with murder and hatred, something that was clearly apparent in the life of Cain.

We’ve been examining a series of parables given by our Lord, and the one before us today pastor Jeff believes is being fulfilled right before our eyes.  It speaks of the counterfeit and the real Christian.  How do you tell the difference?  We’re about to find out here in part two of the Counterfeit and the Real!

We’re in the middle of our study in Matthew’s gospel, and we’ll join pastor Jeff Johnson in chapter thirteen.  Not everyone who says they are a Christian is a Christian. And in the parable we’re about to examine Jesus helps us tell the difference between the counterfeit and the real.  Much like a healthy tree bares good fruit, so too a real Christian bares good fruit!

Are you truly born again?  Carefully consider that question today on Sound Doctrine!  And First John helps us answer it, leaving no doubt where we stand, and what it takes to be right with God.

Today we’ll spend the bulk of our time together in Matthew chapter thirteen, and verses 33-35. Here Jesus gives us a parable about Leaven, and raises our awareness to a great deception that is in our midst.  And it’s false doctrine that comes from within the church.  
June 28, 2024
Pastor Jeff Johnson will continue our series in Matthew.  Today we approach a powerful parable of Jesus about Leaven.  You might think of it as a warning of what’s going to take place in the last days.  Jesus warns us that there will be false doctrine that we’re to contend with in the church and this great deception is fueled by Satan.
