Kingdom Living Part 2a

March 19, 2024

We’re told in Scripture to expect persecution, and we’ll be hated and mistreated even as Jesus was.  But how do we treat those we might classify as an enemy?  We’re about to find out on Sound Doctrine as we turn back to the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew chapter five.  Jesus is about to tell us to love, bless and pray for them!  Overcome evil with good.  Let’s be encouraged in that direction as we present part two of, “Kingdom Living!”  

References: Matthew 5:43-48

We’ve all been hurt by the words of actions of another, and it’s about that time thoughts of retaliation my come to mind.  "Get em back for what they’ve done to you," some would tell us.  But Jesus would have us go in a much different direction.  Turn with us to Matthew chapter five, and verses thirty-eight through forty-two as we learn more about Kingdom Living on Sound Doctrine.

God has made it possible to come clean and receive forgiveness.  He loves us so much that He sent His son to die for our sins so that we wouldn’t have to die in our sins. With that great truth in mind, why wouldn’t we be willing to simply receive forgiveness.... and forgive others?

Somebody does you wrong, is the first thought through your mind, “Oooh they’re gonna get it!”  The world would have you believe, you have every right to retaliate! But God would have us go in another direction.  On today’s Sound Doctrine pastor Jeff Johnson contrasts the world’s way of thinking to what Jesus said in the Sermon on the Mount - “Turn the other cheek”. There is a lot of confusion about this radical teaching and in a moment - we’ll join pastor Jeff who will show us what Jesus was really saying.  Join us in Matthew five.

From the dad who promises his kids he’d take them to the ballgame and doesn’t, to the couple that vows from death do us part but ends up divorcing… many people today don’t take promises or vows seriously.  God certainly does as we’ll hear today on Sound Doctrine.  We’ll hear that it’s important to do what we say we’ll do, and follow through with our vows.  If we can’t do that, don’t swear to begin with!  Join us in Matthew chapter five as we listen in to part two of Jeff Johnson’s message, “Don’t Swear!”

From the politician who says one thing and does another, to the student who cheats on a test, or the salesman that shades the truth to close the deal...  We can’t help but ask, where is integrity these days?  Jesus has something important to say on the subject oaths and keeping our word, and we’ll have that for you today on Sound Doctrine as we get back into the Sermon on the Mount.  How good is your word?  Find out as we look into THE WORD.

People give all sorts of reasons for divorce, from a love grown cold, to no longer being happy, or marital infidelity!  And divorce is occurring at an alarming rate in our world today… even in the church!  As shocking as that is and as rampant as divorce is in our generation - divorce was commonplace in Jesus’ day too. And the Lord taught on the subject in His Sermon on the Mount. Today on Sound Doctrine, we’ll hear what He has to say.

Marriage is sacred and something God created with a purpose in mind.  He put it together and wants it to stay together for a lifetime.  It’s not hard to see a growing number of marriages today are ending in divorce! The Lord actually spoke quite a bit about it in His Word as you’ll hear on Sound Doctrine.  We’ll be camping out in Matthew chapter five and verses thirty-one and thirty-two.  Pastor Jeff Johnson will unveil what Moses, the Pharisees and Jesus taught about divorce over the next two broadcasts!

Today on Sound Doctrine we continue pastor Jeff Johnson’s study in First John.  We’ll pick things up in chapter two at verse nine.  The apostle John is about to make it clear that those who are truly walking in the light will be loving and forgiving people!  Would that describe you today?  Think that through with us, as we present part one of, “To Walk in the Light = Love!”

Marriage is God’s idea.  He designed the union of a man and a woman to be a permanent lifetime commitment.  He underscores that without commitment, you can’t establish trust and without trust, there can’t be true intimacy. When the trust is broken by adultery it’s extremely devastating.  Just look around for evidence of that! Pastor Jeff Johnson is teaching through the Sermon on the Mount and today on Sound Doctrine we come to the subject of Adultery and Lust.  
March 8, 2024
Adultery is occurring at an alarming rate in today’s world.  It’s even portrayed in such a way on TV as if it’s perfectly acceptable and normal. But what they rarely show is the devastation that’s left behind. Today on Sound Doctrine we’ll see what God has to say on the subject and where it all starts in the heart.  While you may have never committed the physical act of adultery, have you ever looked at another person with lust in your heart?  Join pastor Jeff Johnson in Matthew chapter five for part one of, “Avoiding Lust!”
