The Christian lives between this world and the unseen world simultaneously. During times of increased spiritual warfare, there are many believers who retreat from the battle. However, in doing so, they leave all the tools and weapons that are given for their victory. In today’s edition of Sound Doctrine, Pastor Jeff Johnson calls us to be more engaged in the battles around us. He helps us to see that the only way upward is onward. It’s the final installment of our study titled, “The Belt of Truth”. So with that in mind, let’s join Pastor Jeff Johnson in Ephesians 6 for today’s study in Sound Doctrine.

The history of those whom God has used in powerful ways shows that the one thing  they all had in common was the fact that they maintained their time in the Word of God. God’s Word gave them courage. The Word caused believers to see clearly when others followed the world. And the Word of God was the agent of change by God’s Spirit in countless people’s lives as believers faithfully shared it with others. As we resume our study of Sound Doctrine on the belt of truth Pastor Jeff Johnson reminds us that it is the very truth that will hold all things together in our lives as we maintain a constant balanced diet of God’s Word in our lives. With more on that, let’s join Pastor Jeff in Ephesians 6 for today’s equipping in Sound Doctrine.

When it comes to walking in God’s Spirit, it is an either/or proposition. We will either walk in the Spirit and be heavenly minded, or we will revert to the default of walking in the flesh, which comes naturally. As we walk in light of God’s Word His Spirit enables us to be heavenly minded and ready to stand in the day of spiritual conflict with God’s Word implanted in our hearts. So with our study on the Belt of Truth, join us in Ephesians 6 for today’s encouragement in Sound Doctrine, with Pastor Jeff Johnson.

The Bible says that God always leads us in triumph in Christ. So when it comes to practically experiencing the victory that Jesus won positionally for the believer, how are we to obtain it? As we make our way through our series on Spiritual Warfare, we come to a critical element given to every believer: The armor of God. In today’s study Pastor Jeff Johnson shows you and I how we are to live as a soldier in God’s armor and strength to insure success against the enemy. So join us as we continue our study in Ephesians 6 for today’s encouragement in Sound Doctrine.

It’s been said that all our trials are Father-filtered, meaning that the enemy can’t touch you or I unless God gives him permission. That includes permission for how long and how much he is allowed. Satan can never touch a child of God without God’s permission. So when we go through challenges wearing God’s armor, we can know that it is God-allowed and He will provide a way of escape so we are able to bear it. With more on how God protects us with His armor, let’s join Pastor Jeff in Ephesians 6 for our study titled, “God’s Armor” in Sound Doctrine.

When it comes to looking forward to the imminent return of Jesus Christ, we often forget that the Holy Spirit will prepare us to be ready for His coming; to know the description of the times we are living in, to have our lives ready for when He comes back for us. With this kind of help in mind, it begs the question: How much are we listening and regarding the leading, teaching, and direction of the Holy Spirit in our lives? As a part of our new series titled, “God’s Armor” Pastor Jeff Johnson pinpoints some key areas that believers leave unattended as it relates to the Holy Spirit and God’s Armor. So with open Bible, if possible, join us in Ephesians 6 for today’s encouragement in Sound Doctrine.

When it comes to this time of year we hear songs fill the air with sounds of redemption from our Savior. Good tidings of great things are being proclaimed. And yet instead of good tidings or great things, there is discouragement and hopelessness for many. That’s why Pastor Jeff shares a message of encouragement knowing where we stand in the midst of the constant barrage against the joy and hope that is found in Christ. He continues to show us how to attain and maintain that eternal hope in temporal challenges. So with that in mind, join us in Ephesians 6 for  our message titled, “Our Stand in the Battle - Part 2” for today’s encouragement in Sound Doctrine.

We live in tumultuous times. Whether it is the future of our nation, personal finances, conditions at work, and above all our relationship with the Lord, there are issues that can cause us to stress and worry. In addition to each of these areas, the enemy of our souls wants to maximize their pressure in our hearts and minds in order to prevent us from spiritual bearing fruit, and cause us to stop trusting in the Lord. In our time in Ephesians 6 Pastor Jeff Johnson is showing us how we can respond in simple trust and obedience to God’s will in our lives and thus stem the advance of the enemy’s plans for you. So join us for the next few moments as we learn about Our Stand in the Battle - Part 2 for today’s study in Sound Doctrine.

Have you been walking with the Lord for a while? Feel a bit battle weary? When it comes to enduring the spiritual battles we face, it is important to cultivate endurance as a believer.

Satan is relentless yet God will strengthen us as we take up all of God’s armor that is given to us. So allow today’s time in the Word be a rally call to prepare your minds for action as we begin to learn more about Our Stand in the Battle - Part 2 with Pastor Jeff Johnson.

When it comes to engaging in a battle, where and how you stand makes all the difference between victory and defeat. When we stand in our own strength and resources in the unseen world we will soon discover that defeat is not far away. However, in today’s message, we learn that Jesus leaves an example of where & how to stand when it comes to the pressures and trials in our lives. It is seen in His encounter with the devil in the garden of Gethsemane. So, join us for our final study

Among the many trials, conflicts, and spiritual battles we may face, we realize that we cannot endure these spiritual clashes in our own strength. That is why as we continue to experience resistance and clashes as we follow the Lord, God has given us His strength to stand against against the onslaught. In our time in Ephesians today we discover how God fights for us in our spiritual struggles. Pastor Jeff Johnson gives several examples from the OT that bring clarity and insight into how we can stand in God’s might and not our own. With more on that, let’s open to Ephesians 6 for our message titled,”Our Stand in the Battle - Part 1” for today’s encouragement in Sound Doctrine.
