The Enemy Within Part 1
January 24, 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.

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!

Today we’ll be covering Acts chapter four, verses 32-47. You may have heard a thing or two about the baptism of the Holy Spirit, or filling of the Spirit. But how do you know if that’s happening in your life? There will be some evidence. And we see this in the early church. They were loving, selfless, unified, and giving, among other things. And this was evidence of being Spirit-filled.

We're traveling through Acts together with pastor Jeff Johnson. We left off in chapter four, where the church is calling on the name of the Lord in prayer, when the pressure was on! It’s a good model for us to consider. You can be sure we’ll face persecution, and pressures. And how we choose to respond to it is important. Where will you go when the pressure is on?

Where do you go when the pressure is on? Today on Sound Doctrine, we’ll be introduced to a group of believers that responded well to persecution and pressure! They came together, prayed together, and encouraged one another too. On our next two programs we’ll examine the prayer that they prayed, and it’s a good one to follow! Pastor Jeff Johnson refers to it as a prayer that prevails!

We are very excited about today’s program as we return to our series in Acts. I’m sure you’ve experienced it. You wakeup in the morning and take a look at your phone realize it’s dead. You forgot to plug it into the power source overnight. Today we’ll see the great need for Christians to plug into their power source, the Holy Spirit.

2 Timothy 3:12 says - all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution! So when persecution comes to the believer in Christ it shouldn’t be a surprise. Thus far we’ve seen the first witness, then the first message and first miracle of the early church! Today we’ll recall the churches very first persecution.

We’re in Acts chapter four. In this section of scripture we’re looking at today, Peter has just given a God-inspired evangelistic sermon to a group of people who have observed a miraculous healing of a lame man. 5,000 people ended up giving their hearts to God. One might expect that joy would abound, and everyone would be excited by the news. But that wasn’t the case.

What sets Jesus apart from every other religious leader? He’s God and He conquered the grave. And because He lives, there’s something you need to know! We can turn away from our sins, be filled with His power, and live a life more abundantly. That’s comes to our attention today on Sound Doctrine as we finish up Acts chapter three with pastor Jeff Johnson.

Today pastor Jeff Johnson makes a return visit to Acts chapter three, where Peter is delivering his second message. And the Holy Spirit is using it to bring conviction upon the hearer. Which raises the question, how does the Holy Spirit work in our lives today? Pastor Jeff will highlight three experiences we can have with the Spirt of God, and I think you’ll find it encouraging and refreshing!

The resurrection of Jesus is the theme of Acts, and the heart of Christianity! Yes He’s risen from the dead! But it gets even better. Because He lives, we can too, through faith in Him. We’ll talk about it today on Sound Doctrine as pastor Jeff Johnson continues through Acts.
