Like Father, Like Son Part 1

June 13, 2023

Without a doubt our fathers have a great influence on our lives… for good or bad.  And very often a child will end up doing the very same things their dad did.  Thus the saying, “Like father, like son!”  We’ll see this play out right before our eyes today on Sound Doctrine as we turn to Genesis chapter 26.   We’re going to be studying Isaac’s life and as you’ll see in a moment, it resembles his dad’s life in many ways.

God had this to say, “Jacob I loved but Esau I Hated.”  Maybe that doesn’t sit so well with you!  I mean doesn’t God love everyone?  As we begin today’s Bible study, pastor Jeff speaks for a moment about election and man’s responsibility.  It’ll serve to help us better understand where God is coming from.

Many shy away from Bible prophecy as they find it difficult to understand.  But if we’ll take the time to carefully study passages like Daniel chapter nine, God can help us make sense of it all.  By the end of our time together our hope and prayer is that you’ll see a little clearer what’s going on in the prophetic realm.

As soon as you receive Christ, the war is on!  It’s a spiritual battle between the flesh and the spirit.  But is there a way to experience victory in the battle?  I’m happy to say there is, and here’s a little hint, what you feed has a lot to do with what will come out on top.  Jeff Johnson is about at the midway point of his study in Genesis.  We pick things up today in chapter 25.

Today we get right back into our study of Genesis.  When you encounter a genealogy in the Bible, you might be tempted to gloss right over it.  Thinking it has very little relevance to our lives.  But the truth is, every word in the Bible is significant and applicable.  And God put it in His Word for a reason.

Most would rather not talk or even think about death, but it is inevitable.  It’s one thing mankind can’t conquer, but Jesus did!  And through faith in Him we can experience victory over death.  Today on Sound Doctrine we’ll present a biblical perspective on death and the afterlife as we recall Abraham’s life and death.

Today we’ll be continuing our journey through Genesis.  We left off in chapter 25.  In recent weeks we’ve been hearing about the life and times of Abraham.  And now we come to the end of his life.  We’re told that he died at a good old age and was gathered to his people.  Pastor Jeff believes that conveys something very important to us about living well and dying well!

If the rapture doesn’t occur in our lifetime, each of us will experience death.  And if you’re like a lot of folks maybe the mere thought of it leaves you a little uneasy or even afraid!  Today on Sound Doctrine we’ll discover how faith in Jesus can extinguish those fears and lead us to see death as a blessing.

Are you ready to get into some amazing prophecy?  As we continue through the book of Daniel on Sound Doctrine, we come to the 70 weeks of Daniel.  To some this is rather confusing, but today pastor Jeff Johnson will break it all down for us, and set out to help us understand it.  By the end of our time together I think you’ll be left amazed by how God fulfills His prophetic Word with precision and accuracy.

At the present time we’re going through Genesis, and we aim to complete chapter 24 today.  Pastor Jeff Johnson will take one final look at the story of Isaac and Rebekah.  You can’t help but see the entire Godhead in this love story.  And today we’ll zero in on the Holy Spirit and how He so masterfully works in our lives.  The question is, will we resist Him or cooperate?

We’re on an incredible journey through Genesis, with our pastor and teacher Jeff Johnson.  As we again open chapter 24 on the surface it appears as just an incredible love story on how Isaac and Rebekah would meet and eventually marry.  But dig a little deeper and you’ll see a brilliant picture of the entire Godhead, and how the Lord works in our lives.
