December 23, 2019

The book of James says to draw near to God and God will draw near to you. In all of His creation, God wants nothing more than to have an intimate relationship with each of us; and unbroken communion. And He is looking for those who desire the same thing from Him. Pastor Jeff is sharing on how Peter’s message to Cornelius highlighted so many essentials of the Christian life in order that those who heard Him would have that desire to draw near to the Lord.

The watchword of the church is to preach the Gospel. Be ready in season and out of season. Paul told Timothy that preaching the Word involves convincing, rebuking, and encouraging patiently as we let others know the hope we have in the Lord. And as Pastor Jeff shows us with Peter and the centurion, God wants us to be walking with Him in such a way that we have a burden to share with those who don’t know Him. It’s an attitude check that only the Lord can instill within us. With our study on Baptism of Love and Power, let’s join Pastor Jeff in Acts 10 for our time in Sound Doctrine.

To those who wonder about God’s salvation to the world, the Lord never disappoints. To those who live according to the light they have been given, the Lord will reach out to them. As Pastor Jeff continues our study in the book of Acts we see how the Lord offers salvation to those who may not know Him, but are reaching out to Him. It’s the answer to the question of what God does with those who live in the deepest darkest jungles on the edge of the earth. So we invite you join us in Acts 10 for a study titled, “Baptism of Love and Power” for our time in Sound Doctrine with Pastor Jeff.

Do you find yourself listening to Bible studies and thinking, “How incredible is God’s love for other people...but not necessarily for me,”? It’s not difficult to believe there is a God who loves others because we don’t know what they’ve done. But when you think about believing in God’s unconditional love for you, personally, you’re challenged to believe it’s true. Enter Peter. God used him to demonstrate that no matter who you are, you are not too far from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus. With our study titled, “God Loves Everybody, Do You? (Part 2) let’s join Pastor Jeff in Acts 10 in Sound Doctrine.

The ability to hear God’s direction for our lives is dependent upon a God that wrote a book that has endured for thousands of years. If He knows how to communicate to the world, chances are good He knows how to speak to us as well. As Pastor Jeff outlines the steps and principles that are in our study with Peter and the vision, he helps us to see God’s Spirit is able to lead and direct us where He wants us to go as well. His will and direction are characterized by the peace of God, not a fear produced within us. With our second installment of the study titled, “God Loves Everybody, Do You (Part 2)” let’s join Pastor Jeff in Acts 10.

The Bible tells us that God is sovereign; He possesses supreme power over everything. Not only is He sovereign, but His sovereignty is actively working in the lives of His people. When we tend at times think that something is out of control, Pastor Jeff says that God can give us visions to help us to understand and peer behind the spiritual curtain to see what’s really taking place and how the Lord is working through it. We find ourselves in Acts 10, and invite you to open your Bibles with us as we resume our study titled, “God Loves Everybody, Do You? (Part 1)” for our time in Sound Doctrine.

Respected soldier, and man who feared God with his whole household,  Cornelius had a date with destiny. As he received the salvation in Jesus Christ, not only did Cornelius come to know the Lord, but his household as well. Pastor Jeff shows the powerful impact that his salvation had on those around him. And he shows how simply being religious wasn’t enough for Cornelius to have salvation in Christ. With more on our study titled, “God Loves Everybody, Do You?” let’s join Pastor Jeff in Acts 10 for our time in Sound Doctrine.

When it comes to showing His love to the world, the Lord moved Peter to share the Gospel with the Gentiles. And when they received the word, salvation came to that house. Pastor Jeff gives us needed perspective to show how much God’s love broke through the Jewish/Gentile border to accomplish this incredible act of salvation for the world! We hope this encourages you in your salvation: Jew and Gentile alike. With that in mind, let’s join Pastor Jeff in Acts 10 for our study titled, “God Loves Everybody, Do You?” in Sound Doctrine.

One of the most effective sources of influence for God’s power is the evidence of a person’s fruitfulness with the Lord. You can see the fruit of the Spirit in love, a hunger for the word, fellowship, and prayer. These are the source of strength of those who claim to follow Jesus. Peter’s life exemplified those characteristics because he was continually abiding in Jesus. Pastor Jeff helps us to see that as we abide in Christ, God will produce the same fruit from our lives as well. With our study titled, “Miracles in His Name Part 2” let’s join Pastor Jeff in Acts 9 for our time in Sound Doctrine.

The most important ability that God is looking for from you is your availability. When an apostle or spiritual leader passed away the church would pray and move on. However, when a sister who was used in a powerful and practical way, the church called for Peter. And through his availability, Peter came to the aid of a church that needed help. Pastor Jeff shows the importance of those who were used like Dorcas, and the need for those who are obedient as Peter was. With more on our study titled, “Miracles in His Name (Part 2),” let’s join Pastor Jeff in Acts 9 for our time in Sound Doctrine.
