The Deceitfulness of Riches Part 1

August 28, 2024

Sinless perfection… that’s what is required for us to enter into the Kingdom of heaven.   But you’ve probably noticed, that’s impossible, in and of ourselves, as we’re all sinners and fall short of the glory of God. So where does that leave us?  What’s impossible for mankind is made possible through Jesus.   We’ll talk about it today on Sound Doctrine, as Jesus speaks about the deceitfulness of riches and the Kingdom of God!  

References: Matthew 19:23-30

Can I live forever?  If I can, then how is it done? Who do I need to speak to, and what am I required to do in order to obtain that?  Is heaven real? How do I get there? What’s next?  We’ve all had questions like these race through our minds at various times, and today on Sound Doctrine, we get some answers from Matthew chapter 19.

Today on Sound Doctrine we’ll hear of some children that were brought to Jesus.  And while the disciples started to shoo them away, thinking Jesus was too busy, our Lord makes it clear He wants children brought to Him and He’s never too busy.  There’s an important lesson in all of this for us.

Today we’ll once again look at the subject of marriage and divorce - and the ways to avoiding one from leading to the other. There are hundreds of books available that purport to tell you how to have a successful marriage, but there’s only one you can really count on for the truth - the Bible.

We’re working our way through the gospel of Matthew.  And today we plan to cover more ground in chapter eighteen.  They’re some of the hardest words to say, “I forgive you!”  Especially after you’ve experienced great hurt.   But when you do forgive, you’re never more like Jesus, who forgave us a debt that we could never pay.  We’ll spend some time talking about the power of forgiveness and why we’re to follow in the Lord’s footsteps by forgiving others.

We’ve all been hurt by the words or actions of another.  Maybe it was an unkind word spoken on social media, or someone has lied about you or stolen from you!  When that happens we have a choice to make… will we forgive them or not!  Today on Sound Doctrine pastor Jeff Johnson approaches this sensitive subject as he begins a study in Matthew eighteen, verses twenty-one through thirty-five.  Jesus addresses the topic of forgiveness through a powerful parable.

Whether it’s a child that’s rebelling, or a friend who no longer is coming to church like they once did… we all have people in our lives that have wandered away from the Lord.  We might refer to them as backsliders.  And of course, because we care about them, we want to help!   Today on Sound Doctrine we’re talking about the restoration of backsliders, and how we can best minister to those that are afar off.
