Power of Humility Part 1

March 16, 2021

You don’t have to look long and hard to find examples of pride.  Prideful people abound in the world as we know it.  But God wants us to live in humility, just as Jesus did on His road to the cross.  As you do, you’ll definitely stand out, in a good way.  Today on Sound Doctrine pastor Jeff Johnson turns to First Peter chapter two, and unveils the power of humility.

Should I see that movie?  Can I have a glass of wine with dinner?  You can probably think of a number of questions you wrestle with from time to time, similar to these.  As believers, we know that we have an incredible amount of freedom. But there are some things that while they may be permissible, have the potential to stumble a Christian, or even mislead an unbeliever!  Today on Sound Doctrine we’re talking about our liberty as followers of Christ, and the right and wrong use of them.

God has blessed us in so many ways.  One of the many blessings we enjoy as believers in Christ, is the subject of today’s broadcast.  We possess a living hope, and it cannot be adversely affected by life, death, or even a virus!  Today on Sound Doctrine that’s brought to our attention in a powerful way.  We’re just getting started with our study of First Peter, and we’re in chapter one.  Remember this letter was written to believers who were suffering a great deal, and this is God’s encouragement to all that fit that description!

Freedom is something we’ve enjoyed here in America. Soldiers have fought to keep it that way.  And God wants us to live as free people.  With that said, there is a danger you want to be aware of that goes along with this.  We can easily take things too far, and before you know it, we’re starting to use our freedom as a coverup for evil.  This warning comes to our attention today on Sound Doctrine, as pastor Jeff Johnson visits First Peter 2:16.

Pastor Jeff Johnson is knee deep into his study of First Peter.  We’ll be in chapter two. Civil unrest and lawlessness… we’ve seen that in large measure in recent months haven’t we?  But as we’ll learn today, God calls us to obey, submit to and respect those in authority!  It’s much needed words of encouragement for days like these!

It’s clearly evident that being a spectator cannot solve the problems we’re facing as a nation!  Rather than sit back and just wait for the coming of the Lord, we’re to be fully engaged in whatever God calls us to do. We’re going to see what being a witness for the Lord looks like in 2021.

It’s been well said, that, “Hypocrisy (lying to others) leads to duplicity (lying to yourself)!”  When that happens you’re living a lie.  Right becomes wrong and light becomes darkness.  How can anyone live in that kind of world? We’ll explore that and its implications today on Sound Doctrine. We open up First Peter chapter two today and we’ll emphasize verses eleven and twelve.  It provides encouragement for those who seek to be a light in darkness, and do what’s right in the midst of wrong.

People by and large are longing to live the good life, but what really is the good life?  The world has its own ideas, usually wrapped up in making a name for yourself and creating a large bank account.  But God sees it much differently.  We’ll learn today on Sound Doctrine that the good life is experiencing peace with God.  Pastor Jeff Johnson shows us how to enter in, through his study in First Peter chapter two.

Have you ever received a note of encouragement right in the midst of great suffering?  A well-spoken word at just the right time can really be helpful. And that’s what we find in the epistle of First Peter.  It was written to Christians who were unjustly persecuted, and encountering fiery trials.   We can benefit from the letter too, and receive God’s encouragement and instruction for this difficult season of life we’re in.  Today on Sound Doctrine pastor Jeff Johnson speaks of a living hope.

Have you taken one of those DNA tests, in an attempt to discover who you are and where you came from?  They’re all the rage these days.  Today on Sound Doctrine we’re going to discover who we are in Christ!

Many today are on a quest to find themselves!  Maybe you’ve been on the journey yourself?  Today on Sound Doctrine we’re going to reveal who we are, and what we’re to be doing.  No this isn’t something pastor Jeff Johnson has drummed up on his own, but rather from the authoritative Word of God.  And specifically First Peter chapter two, verses nine and ten.
