Jeff Johnson

Tradition Part 2

July 22, 2024

Is your heart right with the Lord… that all-important question is before us today on Sound Doctrine as we head over to Matthew chapter fifteen.  Pastor Jeff Johnson cautions us not to be like the Pharisees of old, who were critical and judgmental, caught up in hypocrisy.  If we’re not careful we can start to elevate traditions above the very Word of God like they did, and that’s a big mistake.  

References: Matthew 15:1-20

We hear a lot about love these days.  Whether it be in the movies we watch or the music we listen to!  But more often than not the love that is portrayed is a far cry from God’s love!  Today on Sound Doctrine God’s love is defined for us through a study in First John chapter three.

Today on Sound Doctrine we’ll talk about a group of men that really destroyed their lives in the name of keeping tradition. There’s a lot of that going on today in case you haven’t noticed!  And there are a series of valuable lessons that we need to learn from this!

When we’re in a stormy trial we can so easily settle into fear!  We get our eyes on the circumstances and start to panic!  But there’s a better way to go, and it’s pictured for us in Matthew chapter fourteen.  Today on Sound Doctrine pastor Jeff Johnson shows us how God wants to give us victory in times like these.  He just wants us to keep our eyes on Him and choose faith over fear!

Let’s face it, many of us are consumed by fear today!  We look at all that’s going on in our world, and it’s very easy for us to resort to that sort of thing.  It’s so important that we choose faith over fear!  And God loves to help us with that endeavor. Today on Sound Doctrine we’ll learn how to embrace faith over fear as we join pastor Jeff JOhnson in Matthew chapter fourteen for part one of “Walking on Water.”

God is wanting us to trust Him, but you may have noticed we often struggle in that area? We draw your attention to Jesus feeding thousands of people with a young boy’s lunch!  Some say that’s impossible!  But nothing is impossible for God. We’re learning to trust in Jesus, even as we’re hit with roadblocks or impossibilities, as we turn to Matthew chapter fourteen.

Today we join pastor Jeff Johnson in Matthew chapter fourteen.  Many people today look at the claims of the Bible and consider them to be mythological fairy-tails.  They wonder how could Jonah be swallowed by a big fish and live to tell about it, or how could Jesus feed close to 15 thousand people with five loaves and two fish!   We can be sure that what God says is real and true, even if it defies human logic.

Today we'll be in First John chapter three, as we talk more about our relationship with one another.  God is love the Bible tells us.  And as His people we’re to be loving as well.  Does that mark your life on the daily?  Or when people look at you do they see anger and hatred more often than not?

Pastor Jeff Johnson will be completing Matthew chapter thirteen and show us why unbelief is a thief!   We’ll start off with the cause of unbelief.  It affects people in three ways, in that it blinds your eyes and hardens your heart, as well as sterilizes your life.  We’ll then go on to see the cure!
