Power of Prayer, Part 1
May 31, 2018
Billy Graham has said that a prayerless Christian is a powerless Christian. Some of us might be surprised to learn how many opportunities have we missed to see prayer working in our lives. Today on Sound Doctrine Pastor Jeff Johnson helps us to see the necessary means and potential for God to work in and through our lives through prayer. He cautions us against trying to work out our problems in our strength and then reverting to prayer, and then he gives us a great example in Paul’s prayer for the church in Ephesus. So with our study titled, “Power of Prayer”, we invite you to join us in Ephesians 1 with Pastor Jeff Johnson.

Many years ago there was a song whose lyrics said, “Signed, Sealed, Delivered, I’m Yours.” These lyrics find their fulfillment in our relationship with Christ. Pastor Jeff explains on today’s edition of Sound Doctrine how we are a people who happily belong to the Lord who bought us with His blood. And because we are His purchased possession He takes great interest in what happens in our lives every waking moment. God’s interest and care for you and I isn’t rivaled by anything else in kthis world. Because of His Holy Spirit in our lives, He guarantees that we have a spot reserved for us in heaven. With our final study entitled, “The Mark of God,” here now, is Pastor Jeff Johnson.

So glad you could join us today as we are going through the book of Ephesians. Judging from our excerpt with Pastor Jeff you may have been led to think that we are already in Ephesians 5 looking at the role of husbands and wives. But today on Sound Doctrine Pastor Jeff Johnson reminds us that though we may not always experience the satisfaction or the complete fulfillment we would like in our marriage here and now, that joy is only a foreshadow of the reality of the what is a result of a born again relationship with Jesus Christ. And then He helps us to see that focusingl on the guarantee of our inheritance in Christ, God’s Spirit will help us in our marriages and our lives until He takes us home. With that in mind, let’s join Pastor Jeff in our study titled, “The Mark of God” in Ephesians 1.

The American dream has often been described as a home with a white picket fence and 2.3 children and a rewarding job. However, in life we discover that such large doors swing on very small hinges. In other words, today Pastor Jeff Johnson reveals how in a few brief words, God describes how our lives are destined for far more than the American dream when we realize that we are created forJesus and by Jesus. And He is the One who holds us and all of creation together It is this truth and so much more that make up the third installment of our study called, “Our Firm Foundation.” With that in mind, we invite you to join us Ephesians 1 with Pastor Jeff Johnson.

It’s spring and many people are cleaning out their garages. And the list of To-Dos around the house is being made. For some those projects begin with an excitement and a flourish, but don’t always get finished, or at least the way we imagined them completed. Today on Sound Doctrine Pastor Jeff Johnson reminds us that we have a God who finishes what He starts. When it comes to our redemption, we have a redeemed spirit, but one day we will also have a redeemed body as well. How do we know? Because God has given us His Holy Spirit as a down payment, a reminder, a foretaste of things to come, so be encouraged as you live for the Lord. With “Our Firm Foundation” in mind, we resume our study in Ephesians 1 with Pastor Jeff Johnson.

Redemption. Our salvation in Christ can be something that we take for granted at times. Almost like forgetting what we have been redeemed from, and how bad our life apart from Christ was. Today on Sound Doctrine Pastor Jeff Johnson reminds us that just as the Jews celebrated the Passover in their Exodus from Egypt, so too we can celebrate being set free by the blood of Jesus Christ from the bondage, guilt, and shame of sin that each and every one of us experienced. With more liberating truths in our study titled, “Our Firm Foundation” here is Pastor Jeff in Ephesians 1.

Change. Stepping out of our comfort zones. Not the most popular ideas because they may involve aches and pains and put us in uncertain circumstances. Yet they are vitally important for us when it comes to having a healthy relationship with the Lord.

With our final installment on the study titled, “God’s Plan for the Saints” here’s Pastor Jeff in Ephesians 1.

After we have chosen the Lord in our lives, we discover that God had actually chosen us in complete harmony with His Sovereign will. It is only after our salvation do we come to understand howGod chose us from the foundation of the world writing our names in the Lamb’s book of life. Today on Sound Doctrine Pastor Jeff Johnson explains how God honors our choice by giving us many examples through the Word. One taken from Revelation 3:5 helps to remind us that God continually works with us while also honoring our choices either for or against Him. We continue with our 2ndinstallment of our study titled, “God’s Plan for the Saints.” In Ephesians 1 for today’s encouragement in Sound Doctrine.

As we come up to Ephesians 1:4 we discover an age old question dating since the 17thcentury and even before relating to our salvation. If God chose me, then what is the importance of me asking Jesus into my life? Is it voided because of what the Bible calls God’s Sovereingty, or do they work in conjunction and somehow compliment each other? Today on Sound Doctrine Pastor Jeff Johnson shows how our responsibility and God’s sovereignty working together is both a Biblical truth and somewhat elusive when we try to completely understand it on this side of eternity. We invite you to join us as we unfold God’s Plan for the Saints in Ephesians 1:4 with Pastor Jeff Johnson.

We live in a world of excess and efficiency. We consume more media than at any other time in the world, and consume it from more sources than ever. With all the technology at our fingertips, we have been convinced it will make our lives richer. However, the believer has been given such blessings in Christ that neither technology, nor the excess of this world will ever replace what God has for us. On today’s edition of Sound Doctrine, Pastor Jeff Johnson helps us to see how the theme of Ephesians is our riches in Christ and what it looks like for us today. We pick up in Ephesians 1:3 if you’d like to join us as we resume our study titled, “An Intro. to God’s Blessings” with Pastor Jeff.
