Life in the Spirit - Part 3

September 17, 2018

In order for us to maintain a healthy body, the age-old recipe of balanced diet, sleep, and exercise is integral. The same is true when it comes to maintaining a spiritually healthy walk. A balanced diet of being in the word, fellowship, worship, and prayer are necessary. Yet too many times we treat our walk like they are components that we can manipulate or skip and expect the same results. In today’s edition of Sound Doctrine Pastor Jeff shows how many of us need to get back to the “heart of worship” to borrow a popular song title. Allow this to be a spiritual check up as you assess your health in the Lord. With our study titled, “Life in the Spirit” here now is Pastor Jeff.

Rivers of water flowing through the believer speaks of God’s Spirit actively working in and through us. So when was the last time you were led by God’s Spirit, allowed Him to speak through you, to actively be a part of serving the LORD? Too many times we grow accustomed to stale water when Jesus wants to give us something that will be dynamic, active, and overflowing to others. As we listen in on our study in Sound Doctrine today, Pastor Jeff details what the Life in the Spirit looks like at work, at home, and more. And then shows us the ways in which we are able to keep ourselves living the life in the Spirit. With more on that, join us for our study in Ephesians 5 titled, “Life in the Spirit” with Pastor Jeff Johnson.

Is it possible to be a Christian without experiencing life walking in God’s Spirit? It’s not simply a hypothetical question, but a practical one. However the church is experiencing a time in her history where any mention of the way in which the Holy Spirit works is filled with anything from fear to suspicion. That’s why in today’s edition of Sound Doctrine Pastor Jeff Johnson offers a sound and balanced Biblical perspective regarding the activity of God’s Spirit in our lives. So, we encourage you to grab your Bible and turn to Ephesians 5 for our study titled, “Life in the Spirit” with Sound Doctrine.

Have you ever run out of gas? Ever drink from a cup with a hole in it? Sure, it’s a bit of a basic analogy, but it also clearly illustrates the phenomenon that believers experience on a daily basis when it comes to the need to be filled with God’s Spirit again. The reason why? Because we run dry. Because we leak. In today’s final study in Sound Doctrine of our message titled, “Being Filled with the Holy Spirit,”  Pastor Jeff Johnson helps us to see that God always intended for us to continually come to Him to be filled over and over and over again. We can’t begin in the Spirit and then become perfected in our flesh. More on that as we begin our study in Ephesians 5 with Pastor Jeff Johnson.

A peace which the world can’t give. And the world can’t take away. That’s the claim Pastor Jeff makes regarding the myriad ways that man attempts to have his emptiness filled on his own. Is it possible that God has been whispering at the end of the road of man’s failed attempts at peace? Is it possible that God offers freely what humanity has paid innumerable amounts of time, effort, and money for? In our second installment of “Being Filled with the Holy Spirit,” Pastor Jeff maintains that which we have longed for more than anything else God has always offered only through Jesus Christ. With more on our study in Ephesians 5, here is Pastor Jeff Johnson with today’s study in Sound Doctrine.

We live in challenging times. Modern medicine tells us that the root of more and more illnesses are attributed to stress than any other major cause. So when we hear a topic on being filled with the Holy Spirit the responses vary from unbelief that it is possible to experience that peace and leading to an unwillingness to surrender to the Lord what He requires. Pastor Jeff shows how the opposite is a life on a downward spiral that God never intends us to experience. With our first installment of our study titled, “Being Filled with the Holy Spirit,” in Ephesians 5, here is Pastor Jeff Johnson

The Bible tells us to give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard lest we drift away. When we are not continually giving ourselves and our commitment to Jesus, and being renewed in our minds, we will discover that drifting happens is the inevitable consequence. In our final study on “Knowing God’s will and Wisdom,” Pastor Jeff shows us the importance of stoking the fire of devotion even more as we understand the times that we are living in. With our final commands of the Apostle Paul in Ephesians 5, here is Pastor Jeff with today’s message in Sound Doctrine.

It’s been said that hindsight is 20/20. The truth of the matter is that God’s sight is always 20/20. Because not only does He see the past, present, and future equally well. And He shares His sight and insight with us. And when we walk in His wisdom and His Word, we will have the benefit of knowing that following Him will never lead us astray. That can’t be said of anyone else. As we continue in the second installment of our study on God’s will, the Apostle Paul is giving us 3 immediate commands that have an eternal impact in our life as well as others. Pastor Jeff brings out some key areas in the believer’s life. So with more on “Knowing God’s Will and Wisdom” in Ephesians 5, here is Pastor Jeff Johnson.

The more attracted to walking in our own ways instead of walking in God’s ways, the less we can have confidence in the power of God working in and through our lives. Many times we wonder why we don’t see the Lord working can be attributed to this drifting that comes from us, even though we might blame the Lord. As we begin our time in Sound Doctrine today, Pastor Jeff takes us through Ephesians where Paul is giving critical commands as a part of walking with God. With our message titled, “Knowing God’s Will and Wisdom” here’s Pastor Jeff in Ephesians 5.

Gait Biomechanics has become a major study of psychology, because it differs from one person to another. From this field researchers have discovered, what kind of a person you are, how you project yourself to the world, and your dominant traits. What then is Gait Biomechanics? Simply put: It’s how you walk. Today on Sound Doctrine Pastor Jeff Johnson tells us that God shows us how to walk wisely in Christ. As we follow God’s Word and listen to His Holy Spirit, He will show us where to go, what to say, and what to do. With our final installment of the study titled, “Preparation for Life” in Ephesians 5, here now is Pastor Jeff Johnson.

We live in a time and era where there are more and more people who say they are spiritual, but not necessarily religious. What they mean to say is that they don’t want to be a part of a church body. They don’t desire to be associated with something that may not be perfect, and neither do they want to be accountable. In today’s edition of Sound Doctrine Pastor Jeff gives a Biblically spiritual description of the person who is not only genuinely spiritual, but it is a spiritual wisdom that isn’t about self, but God’s glory and how He wants to use our lives to build others up. With more on our study titled, “Preparation for Life” here’s Pastor Jeff Johnson in Ephesians 5.
