The Church's First Leadership! part 2

February 4, 2025

The Lord gifts us each with unique strengths and talents that we can use for his glory. Today, we’ll see how this happened in the early church. In Acts six, the Apostles learned the importance of organization and delegation of authority. Each member of the church has a ministry to be faithful to.

Past Episodes

We’re continuing a verse-by-verse study through the book of Acts. If a church is successful, and honoring the Lord, you can be sure it will draw satan’s attention. It won’t take long for him to attack! But how should we as the church respond when this happens? And how do we prepare for it?

Today we continue our series through Acts with a study from chapter one that reassures us that Jesus left us aftyer His ascention, but will one day return.

You’re either for Christ or against Him. There is no in-between. Today we’ll look at someone who thought he could put off deciding.  Gary Johnson will finish our look at Acts five on today's program.

Pastor Gary is in the book of Acts, and has an eye on the final verses of chapter five. If we name the name of Christ, we’ll face intense hatred and persecution. But like the Apostles we’ll meet today, pastor Gary will encourage us to make a stand for Christ no matter what is thrown our way.
January 30, 2025
One of the best things you and I can take from a study in Acts is the fact that many centuries have passed since these events took place, but the world is still very similar today. We still face a spiritual battle every day and God’s message of hope and deliverance hasn’t changed. Turn to Acts chapter five as we begin with verse nineteen.

The early church was growing and thriving because of the work of the Apostles and that made the high priests of the day very jealous. That jealously causes a lot of problems for the Apostles but it doesn’t stop them. Today on Sound Doctrine, Pastor Gary Johnson continues his verse-by-verse study in the book of Acts chapter five, verse eleven.
January 28, 2025
Pastor Jeff Johnson is still in the early stages of a series through the book of Acts, and today we continue in chapter five. The sad tale of Ananias and Sapphira reminds us of how seriously God takes integrity. We may think we can fool those around us when it comes to our words matching our actions, but we cannot fool God.

We’re in the early stages of a study in Acts, and today we make a return visit to chapter one.  Pastor Jeff Johnson will hone in on the ascension of Jesus, and the last message the Lord left with His disciples.  To say it’s important would be an understatement.  Yes Jesus would leave them, but He will return!  And that brings wonderful hope to our hearts.  
January 25, 2025
Recently on Sound Doctrine we’re learned how Satan attacked the early church, through threats and persecution.  But now today we see the enemy attack from within!  Today pastor Jeff Johnson will draw out some important lessons from the story of Ananias and his wife Sapphira. In Acts chapter five, Ananias and Sapphira sell some property just to get some accolades. What they receive is the Judgment of God. At the root of it all is the sin of hypocrisy.  
January 24, 2025
We’re knee deep into a study of Acts, and we aim to complete chapter four today. We’ll be encouraged by the generosity of Barnabas who’s giving inspired more giving.  As you hear about the early church reaching out to the needs of those around them, allow it to encourage and inspire you to be a loving vessel that God can use!
