The Sword of the Spirit - Part 2, Episode 3
January 8, 2019
Whatever fire comes into contact with, it turns into fire itself, so that the burning fire is replicated over and over. When it comes to God’s Word, it produces the same effect within us. It causes us to spiritually burn, becoming passionate for the things of God and giving us a new heart. When it comes to consistently abiding in the Word, Jesus said that those who do so, will be set free and truly become His disciples. As we enter into our final study on God’s Word the Sword of the Spirit - Part 2 Pastor Jeff continues to show us the matchless benefits of the power of God’s Word against the enemy. We invite you to join us in Ephesians 6 for our rich time in Sound Doctrine.

At the end of every year, Newspapers, magazines, and Entertainment shows reveal who has passed away the previous year. Many times it shows the tragic consequences of substance abuse, violence, or many other tragedies. No doubt, given the opportunity many would do some things differently. When it comes to this time of the year while many are looking forward to how to have a better year, may we suggest that you begin each day with a rich time in God’s Word? For Mary, it was the good thing which couldn’t be taken away from her. And for Job, it was more necessary than his daily bread. As we continue looking at the Sword of the Spirit, Pastor Jeff shows the eternal and temporal blessings that accompany our dedication to reading the Word. So, let’s join Pastor Jeff in Ephesians 6 for our time in Sound Doctrine.

Benjamin Franklin who had access to a printing press was said to bring out a passage that ostensibly came from the Bible, to see who he could trick into believing it came from the Bible. He would challenge his guests to tell him which book and chapter it came from. Though Franklin’s attempt to call into question people’s knowledge of the Word, was considered humorous at the time, today the practice of selling lies to unsuspecting believers is all too common. Pastor Jeff Johnson helps us to see the importance of knowing and clinging to the Sword of the Spirit against the lies of the devil. We invite you to spend the next few minutes as we touch upon important truths in spiritual warfare during our time in Sound Doctrine.

The difference between Martha and Mary is that Martha’s serving caused her to be distracted, while Mary’s sitting at the feet of Jesus helped her to be focused. While we determine to sit at the feet of Jesus, we will increase our ability to focus on the things that God wants to do in our lives for His glory and our blessing. As we conclude our study on the Sword of the Spirit - Part 1, Pastor Jeff helps us to see which camp we find ourselves in, and how to cultivate a loving, receiving disposition with Jesus so that His word becomes our delight. With more on that, let’s join Pastor Jeff in Ephesians 6 for today’s study in Sound Doctrine.

The Bible tells us that the commandment of the Lord is pure enlightening the eyes. If we will allow Him, God will lead us through His word in the pure way of walking with Him. This is the way of life that Moses prescribed to the children of Israel to walk in. As we use the Sword of the Spirit as a guide in our lives, it will transform us to be the people who will lead others to Jesus who will change them as well. This is such an important topic on God’s Word that we encourage you to take notes, if possible. And stay tuned after the study for information on how you can obtain your own copy of this message. Until then join us in Ephesians 6 for our study on the Sword of the Spirit part 1 with Pastor Jeff Johnson.

It’s been said, “All Word and no Spirit, and you will dry up. All Spirit, but no Word, and you will blow up. But with both the Spirit and the Word, you will grow up.” One dictionary defines balance this way: "A condition in which different elements are equal or in the correct proportions."When a Christian is walking in step with God’s Spirit, He will produce a harmony of the Word integrated with His leading. When there is an imbalance, consistency is difficult to find. As we continue in our series on the Armor of God Pastor Jeff Johnson shows us both the need for the Sword of the Spirit and it’s place in our lives. With more on this critical weapon, let’s join Pastor Jeff in Ephesians 6 for today’s study in Sound Doctrine.

Unforgiveness is a self-inflicted imprisonment. While we harbor ill will towards those who we imagine have wronged us, we risk the potential danger of bitterness which spreads to others. Having used this tactic for millenia Satan knows that the spark of unforgiveness is being offended. If he is able to cause someone to feel slighted or offended, he has gained an advantage. In today’s episode of Sound Doctrine Pastor Jeff Johnson shares how to detect and defeat the enemy in his attempts to get into our heads using the helmet of salvation. With more on that, join us in Ephesians 6 for today’s encouragement in Sound Doctrine.

It’s amazing how small hinges are able to turn such large doors. When it comes to the Christian life and warfare, God has given us such compact truths that impact all of our lives, for time and eternity. And when we take them to heart and put them into practice we will never be the same. Such is the case when it comes to the helmet of salvation, especially as it pertains to psychological warfare. Our adversary, the devil gains great footholds in believer’s lives through small lies he implants in our minds. However, in today’s edition of Sound Doctrine Pastor Jeff Johnson helps us to see how God has given us an extraordinary remedy in His Word that is able to dissolve his lies and cause us to be strengthened by His Holy Spirit. We invite you to join us for the next few moments for our study titled, “The Helmet of Salvation” in Ephesians 6 with Pastor Jeff Johnson

A growing phenomena within the church in the last days is that there are many believers who, while they have repented and acknowledged Jesus as their Savior by faith, yet still lack the assurance of their salvation in the Lord. It is to this dilemma that we find God has given us what the Bible refers to as the Helmet of Salvation. Today on Sound Doctrine Pastor Jeff Johnson helps us to see why this is such an integral piece of armor in the arsenal of walking and warfare as a Christian. So, please open your Bibles to Ephesians 6 as we take heed to need for the helmet of salvation with Pastor Jeff Johnson.

The Bible teaches that we are supposed to be in the world, but not of the world. So, how do we maintain that right balance of impacting our surrounding without allowing it to impact us or squeeze us into its mold? Pastor Jeff finishes our third installment of our study on the Shield of Faith. And in our time shows how we are able to both keep ourselves from being bitter or permanently damaged by the world in order to be a witness for the Lord. With that, we inv

Jesus said, “Sufficient for the day is it’s own troubles.” He went on to warn us about worrying about what the future holds. But to simply take one day at a time. The same is true when it comes to the stresses, the concerns, and the worries that the enemy wants to pile onto the Christian. Jesus is sufficient to lead us and show us how He intends to handle those issues that arise. In today’s broadcast of Sound Doctrine Pastor Jeff reveals that one of the ways He handles those issues is through the believer’s shield of faith. So join us for the next few moments as we join Pastor Jeff in Ephesians 6 for today’s encouragement in Sound Doctrine.
