It's His Church: Problems Solved His Way! Part 1c

March 20, 2020

When we’re in the middle of a crisis, we tend to go into problem solving mode.  But if we’re wise we’ll ask God to show us the way and help!  That’s exactly what the leadership in the early church did, in Acts chapter fifteen.

References: Acts 15:6-9

How often have we seen it, a problem arises in the church, and the people try to solve it on their own… instead of seeking God for the answers.  Today on Sound Doctrine, we’ll see what can happen when a church takes their crisis to Christ.

If you’ve been in and around the church for a while, you know that problems are bound to come up.  And how they’re handled is extremely important.  As we turn to Acts fifteen today on Sound Doctrine we’ll be encouraged to problem solve God’s way.

Since the very beginning of the church there have been those that wrongly assume that we can somehow work our way to heaven.  They suggest  it’s by knocking on so many doors, getting baptized or circumcised.  As we open Acts chapter five on Sound Doctrine, we discover there really is only one way, and it’s a relationship with God through His Son.

When a crisis hits your life how do you handle that?  It’s about that time, you might be tempted to vent through social media, or pull out a gallon of ice cream!  But today on Sound Doctrine, pastor Jeff Johnson encourages a different approach, and that is to pray and seek counsel!

Today on Sound Doctrine we’ll see that God gives us something we certainly don’t deserve... salvation.   But while the Christian knows that they are saved by grace through faith, many in our world today distort that truth and add law into the mix.  This is nothing new under the sun.  It occurred in the early church.

We’re in Acts chapter fifteen today on Sound Doctrine.  And at this point in the early church there’s conflict and controversy. Paul and Barnabas have been doing the Lord’s work, sharing the salvation message with Jews and Gentiles alike.  But now they’re facing opposition within their own ranks.  In Acts chapter fifteen we read about a severe deviation from the Gospel message.

I probably don’t have to convince you that life is difficult. There’ll be some bumps and bruises that we’ll encounter along the way.  But there’s something important you need to know, and that is what God is accomplishing through it all.  And Jesus will be there with you!  That’s the emphasis of pastor Jeff’s message in Acts chapter fourteen today on Sound Doctrine.

Today on Sound Doctrine we spotlight Acts chapter fourteen, and verses twenty-one and twenty-two.  It’s good to be reminded that life isn’t supposed to be easy, and we’ll face hardship and suffering.  But God will be with us, and can even deliver us as He did for the apostles.

Pastor Jeff will be in Acts fourteen on this Friday. I’m sure you’ve seen it… a great evangelistic crusade comes to town, and hundreds come forward. But nobody follows up with them. That’s not what we find here in Acts. Yes the apostles preached the gospel, and many were saved. But they also discipled and taught them. Let’s be encouraged to follow their lead.
