To Walk with God - Episode 3
October 4, 2019
Have you noticed that the climate for being a Christian in America has grown increasingly cold? The world is no friend to the believer. Yet Jesus warned us that if the world hated Him, it will hate us as well. And yet in spite of all that, the believer walks with a hope and a love that comes from God’s Spirit dwelling within us, and God’s call to us. Pastor Jeff says even more intense was the atmosphere of rejection that Stephen experienced. Yet for all that He was filled the hope of God even as he experienced suffering. With our final episode called, “To Walk with God,” let’s turn to Acts 6 for our time in Sound Doctrine.

Have you ever heard the phrase, “If it were easy everyone would do it,”? When it comes to difficult tasks in life that we undertake, we often remind ourselves of the worthiness with that saying. Jesus equated greatness with serving. And as we resume our studies in the book of Acts Pastor Jeff illustrates this principle of walking with God by showing those whose lives reflected that service to Him born from their personal walk. He shows that fears are understandable, but so is the boldness that God will give to those who take the steps of faith to serve Him. Join us as we look more at the study titled, “To Walk with God,” in Acts 6 with Pastor Jeff.

Faith comes by hearing, and that by the word of God. And it is through Pastors and teachers who give out the Word line upon line can cause God’s people to understand it in its context. That’s the recipe for a healthy diet of growing in the Lord. As we continue to look at the factors of the leadership of the early church Pastor Jeff lays down the principles for the health of the church from God’s Word. For the church that offers a little Bible here and there, the result will be very little belief here and there. But what is healthy for a church is healthy for each believer. We invite you to carefully consider these foundational truths for our growth in the Lord. And join us in Acts 6 for our time in Sound Doctrine.

The early church had many opportunities for the believers to serve the Lord. And many opportunities for the enemy, Satan, to try and ruin what God was doing in the church. And as we take a look at those whom the Lord raised up to serve tables, Pastor Jeff says that those who serve the Lord with all their heart should also share the Lord with all their heart with their household as well. In doing so, our families are strong in the Lord and our church is strong in the Lord as well. With more on that, let’s join Pastor Jeff in Acts for our time in Sound Doctrine.

The church is not made up of one person, but many from various backgrounds. And when God brings so many together from so many different backgrounds at the cross, the result is that the church is built up by worship, serving, and loving the Lord. As the first church discovered its need in some key areas, God raised up individuals to meet those needs. Pastor Jeff helps us to see the what and how they were able to serve, and how that applies to us in the church today. It’s part of our study titled, “The Church’s First Leadershi

Driven or Led? That was the choice that the early church faced as they were multiplying and growing. It was during this time that they could have chosen to be driven by a vision of what they thought God wanted to do and map it out in their own understanding, or as we see in the book of Acts, they could respond to the Lord and be led by His Holy Spirit. Pastor Jeff reminds us that God is always looking for those who will respond to the demands that are placed upon every leader who is will to be filled with God’s Spirit so that He is the one who is moving and leading. With more on our study titled, “The Church’s First Leadership,” let’s join Pastor Jeff in Acts 6 for our time in Sound Doctrine.

It’s been said that the church once sang, “Standing on the promises,” but lately it looks more like they’re simply, “sitting on the premises.” And as we look at the keys to being An Effective church, Pastor Jeff is quick to show how the church at large is ineffective when she is being complacent or apathetic. This marks our fourth and final study in our series. We encourage you to pick up your very own copy so that these principles of being an effective witness can be yours as well. Details are available at the end of the message. Until then, join us in Acts 5 with Pastor Jeff for our time in Sound Doctrine.

As we finish our study of “An Effective Church, Part 2” Pastor Jeff helps us to see a contrast of two Pharisees. One was Nicodemus who came to Jesus seeking the truth, and Gamaliel, who was widely respected, but he wanted to defer or avoid the truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Pastor Jeff says that while his words have a form of wisdom in letting the church situation play out, they don’t offer any real leadership when it is needed most. We draw your attention to Acts 5:34 as we finish our series titled, “An Effective Church, Part 2” in our time in Sound Doctrine.

When it comes to success in the Christian life, what does that look like? And who hold the ultimate definition? As we look to the word, Pastor Jeff Johnson takes us to the book of Acts where he helps us to see where phrases like witness, dying to self come from, and their meaning and application for today. God wants us to know what He has given to us to follow Him and how others are supposed to come to know Him. So join Pastor Jeff in Acts 5 for our study titled, “An Effective Church Pt. 2” for an encouraging time in Sound Doctrine.

When it comes to being successful or effective, what are the key elements? In the world, it means fulfilling your job description, or advancing the company’s goals. When it comes to being a Christian, Pastor Jeff shows us how to follow God’s ways in walking with Him. In doing so, we discover that we need the filling and power of God’s Spirit flowing through our lives. As we look at the early church, Pastor Jeff shows how the believers in the early church used their gifts, God’s Word, and a bold witness so others would hear the Gospel. With more on that, let’s join Pastor Jeff in Acts 5 for our study titled, “An Effective Church, Pt. 2”

Sink or swim. We’ve heard the phrase in many different contexts. But no matter what the context, the meaning is the same. If we don’t maintain an active participation in whatever we’re a part of, we will soon drown. Pastor Jeff says in a similar way this can be applied to being a Christian. If we simply take for granted what God has given us in Jesus Christ, without growing or sharing, we will soon find that go from not only being ineffective, but soon after languishing just to walk with the Lord. It’s a cautionary tale taken from our study titled, “An Effective Church.” With more on that, let’s join Pastor Jeff in Acts 5 for our time in Sound Doctrine.
