Our Call as Christians Part 1

May 22, 2024

You may not be aware of this, but God calls every Christian to make disciples. You can be sure it will involve quite a bit of patience, love, endurance, and compassion. The problem is that most people won't ever get to this step because they are intimidated by or discouraged at the very thought of it. The truth is, there are opportunities all around us to bring people to Christ and make disciples. Are you willing to step up and follow the call?  Join pastor Jeff Johnson in Matthew chapter nine!

I think you’d agree nothing in life is as painful as the death of a child. Today on Sound Doctrine we’ll hear of a father in that situation, and in desperation he came to Jesus.  Pastor Jeff Johnson says God specializes in restoring broken lives and has authority over disease, demons and death!  Maybe this is just what you need to hear today, as you’re in a desperate situation yourself.

Maybe today you’re in a desperate situation!  Perhaps your world has been rocked financially, or you have a loved one that is sick and dying? Today on Sound Doctrine we’ll hear of some people in very desperate situations.  And through it all we’ll be reminded of the authority of King Jesus.  He’s able to restore broken homes, lives and bodies!  So if you’re in a broken condition, allow this to encourage you to turn to Jesus.

There are some important questions that we must answer in life like, “Will you Marry Me,” or “Will you accept this job offer?”  But none can compare to this, “Who is Jesus Christ?”  Pastor Jeff will explain the monumental ramifications that are linked to how we answer that. So join us in First John chapter two as we set out to answer, “Who is Jesus Christ?”

We’re so often quick to size people up and think to ourselves, “Well they’re not a good fit!”  Some no doubt said that of the disciple we’ll meet today on Sound Doctrine, as he was a tax collector.  But Jesus saw something in him that others did not!  We’re looking at the calling of Matthew today as we join pastor Jeff Johnson in Matthew chapter nine.  It’s a reminder of God’s authority and power over occupations.

Is God still healing people today?  As you may know that’s been a controversial question within the church.  It's unfortunate but true!  Many struggle with believing God on every level, especially as it relates to healing in the current day. Today on Sound Doctrine we'll examine what divine healing really looks like, as Jesus is about to forgive and heal a paralyzed man.  Through it all we’ll learn a thing or two about the power and authority of Jesus.

Demons are real!  People may not believe it but it's true. There is a battle raging between good and evil. Demons are part of that battle. Today on Sound Doctrine we’ll learn we are called by God to engage in the spiritual warfare that constantly surrounds us, and we are given the tools to do it!  But what do we do when in those instances we witness demon possession? The bible has an answer! Join pastor Jeff Johnson in Matthew chapter eight as we explore a moment in history when Jesus encountered demonic possession.

Storms hit our lives from time to time.  Some are rather big like cancer or a family member dying.  And when they hit we can so easily start to worry or panic like the disciples we’ll hear about today on Sound Doctrine.  But that’s the time we need to remember that Jesus is in complete control and He’ll take us through the storm.  We’re just simply to trust in Him and as we do, He’ll bring peace into our hearts.  That’s the lesson in front of us today, as we join pastor Jeff Johnson in Matthew chapter eight.

Wars, inflation, economic trouble in our nation... It’s not hard to see the world is in upheaval, people are panicking, many are walking in fear, and things seem to be getting worse. One thing is certain in the midst of a storm, we have a God that brings us stability, peace, and hope!  That’s the emphasis of today’s Sound Doctrine as pastor Jeff Johnson opens Matthew chapter eight.

Pastor Jeff Johnson will join us in a second and we’ll continue our series in First John. Today we’re going to spotlight one of three marks of a false teacher.  And that is, they depart from fellowship!  This is a good time for us to evaluate our own walk!  Have you departed from fellowship with other believers?

Pastor Jeff will take us once again today to the gospel of Matthew as we look at chapter eight starting at verse three. When you’re faced with what looks to be an impossibility questions tend to surface. Often we’re asking the wrong questions.  Here’s a good question to ask, “Is there anything too hard for the Lord?”  Keep that in the back of your mind and join pastor Jeff as we hear about God’s power to heal and His grace to the outcast.
