How to Live Till He Comes Part 2

February 19, 2021

If you were to write a letter to a friend who is suffering, you might not think of including a word or two about holiness.  But as we’ll see today on Sound Doctrine, Peter sure did.  And for good reason.  Pastor Jeff Johnson is about to show us why holiness is vital in times of great trial. 

References: 1 Peter 1:13-16

While our nation appears to be in trouble, and there’s a steep moral decline, how are we to react?  Do we throw up our hands and give up?  Or just buy a bunch of freeze dried food and move to a secluded place, wait for Jesus to return?  Today on Sound Doctrine pastor Jeff Johnson shows us how we’re to live till Jesus comes. And it starts by getting our eyes on Jesus, rather than the circumstances surrounding us.

Have you ever noticed that your field of vision actually narrows under stress?  Law Enforcement officers would be quick to tell you that.  Spiritually speaking during seasons of suffering we’re prone to lose perspective.  And that’s actually the time we need it the most.  Pastor Jeff Johnson will show us how to maintain perspective for seasons of suffering and how to navigate through trials today.

We take you up to two mountaintops today on Sound Doctrine.  Mount Calvary and the Mount of Olives.  One is suffering and the other glory!  As followers of Christ we can expect both.  Yes we will suffer, but we can also expect a resurrection that leads to glory.  Let’s talk about that, as together we open First Peter chapter one, and verses ten through twelve.

Pastor Jeff Johnson is taking us through First Peter, which has a lot to say to suffering saints.  In chapter one, verses eight and nine, we discover four things we need to be reminded of when encountering a trial.  The first is to love God, then to trust in Him.  The third has to do with rejoicing in Him.  How is that possible when times are tough?  Let’s find out!

You’ve probably noticed it in the books you’ve read.  Generally speaking, there’s a page or two written about the author!  That’s sort of what we’ll receive today on Sound Doctrine as we begin our series in First Peter.  We’re getting to know Peter, the author of the epistle.  And as pastor Jeff Johnson presents a character study you’ll see Peter was far from perfect and made his fair share of mistakes.  But God would still use him in great ways.

When a trial comes into our lives, it’s common to experience a number of emotions.  From fear, to worry, or even anger.  And those emotions if we’re not careful can distort our thinking and lead us to wrong decisions.  Pastor Jeff Johnson believes there are four things we need to be reminded of, especially during trials. Let’s see what those are as we pay another visit to First Peter chapter one on Sound Doctrine.

Some of us were hoping when we turned the calendar into 2021 that the temperature gauge on the furnace of affliction would be turned down a bit.  But perhaps you’ve noticed, things are still heating up!  How is the Christian to handle it all?  Today on Sound Doctrine we’ll gain some much needed godly perspective for seasons of suffering.

God is all-knowing, all-powerful and all-loving.  So why in the world do good people suffer and why does evil exist?  Maybe you’ve wondered that yourself in light of what’s happening in our world right now.  And the Bible adequately answers that for us.  It’s easy to lose perspective and joy when a great trial hits, so today on Sound Doctrine we’ll show you how to maintain it.

God has blessed us in so many ways.  One of the many blessings we enjoy as believers in Christ, is the subject of today’s broadcast.  We possess a living hope, and it cannot be adversely affected by life, death, or even a virus!  Today on Sound Doctrine that’s brought to our attention in a powerful way.  We’re just getting started with our study of First Peter, and we’re in chapter one.

Have you ever received a note of encouragement right in the midst of great suffering?  A well-spoken word at just the right time can really be helpful. And that’s what we find in the epistle of First Peter.  It was written to Christians who were unjustly persecuted, and encountering fiery trials.   We can benefit from the letter too, and receive God’s encouragement and instruction for this difficult season of life we’re in.
