The Fellowship of His Suffering Part 1

May 28, 2024

In Matthew chapter ten, Jesus tells His disciples they’re going out into the world as sheep amongst the wolves.  And they’re to be wise as serpents and gentle as doves!  

The reality for the Christian is we’ll suffer and face opposition.  The Lord wanted us to know that so we wouldn’t be surprised when it happens.  But we can rejoice in the midst of it all, and we’ll explain why on Sound Doctrine.

References: Matthew 10:16-25

We’ve been steadily making our way through First John and today we head back to chapter two, again answering the question, “Who is Jesus Christ?”  But we’re also uncovering three marks of a false teacher!   We learned previously that they depart from fellowship and deny the faith!  But they also deny Jesus Christ as God in the flesh as pastor Jeff explains on Sound Doctrine.

If we have eyes to see, there are many lost souls in the world today!  The harvest is great, but the laborers are few.  It’s a problem, but there is a solution, and it’s provided to us in Matthew chapter nine.  That’s where we’re headed today on Sound Doctrine as pastor Jeff Johnson again focuses on our calls as Christians.

You may not be aware of this, but God calls every Christian to make disciples. You can be sure it will involve quite a bit of patience, love, endurance, and compassion. The problem is that most people won't ever get to this step because they are intimidated by or discouraged at the very thought of it. The truth is, there are opportunities all around us to bring people to Christ and make disciples. Are you willing to step up and follow the call?  Join pastor Jeff Johnson in Matthew chapter nine!

I think you’d agree nothing in life is as painful as the death of a child. Today on Sound Doctrine we’ll hear of a father in that situation, and in desperation he came to Jesus.  Pastor Jeff Johnson says God specializes in restoring broken lives and has authority over disease, demons and death!  Maybe this is just what you need to hear today, as you’re in a desperate situation yourself.

Maybe today you’re in a desperate situation!  Perhaps your world has been rocked financially, or you have a loved one that is sick and dying? Today on Sound Doctrine we’ll hear of some people in very desperate situations.  And through it all we’ll be reminded of the authority of King Jesus.  He’s able to restore broken homes, lives and bodies!  So if you’re in a broken condition, allow this to encourage you to turn to Jesus.

There are some important questions that we must answer in life like, “Will you Marry Me,” or “Will you accept this job offer?”  But none can compare to this, “Who is Jesus Christ?”  Pastor Jeff will explain the monumental ramifications that are linked to how we answer that. So join us in First John chapter two as we set out to answer, “Who is Jesus Christ?”

We’re so often quick to size people up and think to ourselves, “Well they’re not a good fit!”  Some no doubt said that of the disciple we’ll meet today on Sound Doctrine, as he was a tax collector.  But Jesus saw something in him that others did not!  We’re looking at the calling of Matthew today as we join pastor Jeff Johnson in Matthew chapter nine.  It’s a reminder of God’s authority and power over occupations.

Is God still healing people today?  As you may know that’s been a controversial question within the church.  It's unfortunate but true!  Many struggle with believing God on every level, especially as it relates to healing in the current day. Today on Sound Doctrine we'll examine what divine healing really looks like, as Jesus is about to forgive and heal a paralyzed man.  Through it all we’ll learn a thing or two about the power and authority of Jesus.
