Pass It On - Episode 3

May 28, 2019

As the church, the Bible gives us many metaphors. We are living stones, we are the household of God, and we are also referred to as good soldiers of Jesus Christ. A soldier’s life depends on how well they receive and obey the commands they are given because life and death is on the line. With eternal stakes on the line, it is even more crucial that the Christian is motivated by obedience. And yet Pastor Jeff Johnson points out that there is so much more that propels us to serve Jesus. Join us to discover what drives us to respond to our Lord. With our study titled, “Pass it on,” let’s join Pastor Jeff in our study in Sound Doctrine.

It’s been said that Satan can’t destroy what God protects. Jesus said that the gates of hell will not prevail against the church. So why do believers go through all kinds of challenges and difficulties when it comes to serving the Lord? As we find ourselves in 2 Thessalonians 3 Pastor Jeff Johnson shows how the spiritual warfare we experience as we serve the Lord allows God to work in our lives in a way that doesn’t happen apart from it. And while we don’t look for trials, we look for God in the midst of them.  With our second study titled, “Pass it On,” let’s open to 2 Thess 3 in our message with Pastor Jeff Johnson.

The Bible says of itself that God’s power is built in to the truth of Scripture. It creates, controls, convicts, and accomplishes heaven’s purposes. The Word that is shared instead of the act of sharing itself is what accomplishes God’s intentions. So when we share, we don’t have to stress about our delivery as we do making sure we deliver the Word of God. With that theme Pastor Jeff Johnson helps us to see the need for prayer and God’s Word going together is what makes the Word spread rapidly. And as we combine those two traits together, we will watch God set people free with the truth. With our study titled, “Pass It On,” let’s join Pastor Jeff in 2 Thessalonians 3 for our time in Sound Doctrine.

The Bible says that our lives are living epistles, or letters, known and read by all people. As we witness and work for the Lord, others will see love and joy coming out of our lives as an advertisement for the grace of God working in us. Pastor Jeff Johnson helps us to see that this life is real and not impossible for those who are obeying and walking with the Lord. But it is actually the overflow of a life that is built upon, and maintained by those who “Hold On To Sound Doctrine”. So let’s listen in to final installment of our study in 2 Thessalonians 2 with Pastor Jeff Johnson.

More than a memorable photo op at Buckingham Palace, the queens guard and their iconic red uniforms and black helmets are recognized for their stoic watch at their post. Their diligence to remain there symbolizes the Apostle Paul’s exhortation to the believer today: Stand fast in what you were taught. As Pastor Jeff Johnson illustrates, it’s not simply a noble standard, but a real life necessity for our spiritual health and maturity. So let’s tune in for the message titled, “Hold On to Sound Doctrine,” in 2 Thessalonians 2, with Pastor Jeff Johnson.

As any farmer will tell you weathervane on the top of barns are perfect for telling us which direction the wind is going. But when it comes to standing against the winds, they’re useless. In a similar way Pastor Jeff Johnson shows how it is important for the Christian to be cautious not to be like a weather vane, being tossed around with every new doctrine, idea, or spiritual fad that pops up in our culture. So it was with the church in Thessalonica. As they embraced the truth of Jesus Christ, Paul promised that God would comfort and establish them in their convictions. We are reminded that God will do the same thing for us today as we stand firm in what we have been taught. With more in our study titled, “Hold On to Sound Doctrine,” let’s turn to 2 Thessalonians 2 for our study with Pastor Jeff Johnson.

Many are called but few are chosen. The call of Jesus Christ has gone out to everyone, but those who receive what His salvation are at times few and far between. Pastor Jeff Johnson is showing how election has two sides. God’s Sovereignty and Man’s responsibility. And as we respond in faith to God’s call, it is revealed to all that we are part of the elect of God. We notice that call that God had place on the believers in Thessalonica was revealed as they went through their fiery trials. With our final study titled, “Strength for Today,” let’s join Pastor Jeff in 2 thess 2 for our time in Sound Doctrine.

If you were to take a quick inventory of your life, you might be tempted to discount what you have. However, when you look at your life through the lens of Scripture, we discover that we have much to be thankful for. As we delve further into 2 Thessalonians Pastor Jeff is uncovering the layers of God’s work in our lives from which we can draw strength. As we see how Paul gave thanks for the Thessalonians he highlights three important traits that we too can claim in our lives. With more on our study titled, “Strength for Today,” here is Pastor Jeff in 2 Thess 3 with our encouragement in Sound Doctrine.

Stability, security, and support. These are not usually words that are associated with our state of mind as we go through trials. But our stability will depend upon where we draw our strength from. Pastor Jeff Johnson helps us to see that dwelling in God’s Word is what will give us the stability just as it did with the church in Thessalonica during their times of persecution and difficulties. We invite you to join us as we look at “Strength for Today” in 2 Thessalonians 2 for our study in Sound Doctrine with Pastor Jeff Johnson.

God is the most patient being in the universe. He gives second chances again and again. So what prevents everyone from knowing Him? The world, the flesh, and the devil. As man progresses in sin, his heart becomes increasingly hardened. And in our portion of Scripture Pastor Jeff is showing us that with the collective hardened hearts of humanity, they will embrace strong delusion so that they will believe the lie instead of the truth. With our final study titled, “What About the Unsaved?” let’s turn to 2 Thessalonians for Sound Doctrine with Pastor Jeff Johnson.
