The Churches First Crisis Part 1b

March 13, 2020

Today on Sound Doctrine we’ll see that God gives us something we certainly don’t deserve... salvation.   But while the Christian knows that they are saved by grace through faith, many in our world today distort that truth and add law into the mix.  This is nothing new under the sun.  It occurred in the early church.

We’re in Acts chapter fifteen today on Sound Doctrine.  And at this point in the early church there’s conflict and controversy. Paul and Barnabas have been doing the Lord’s work, sharing the salvation message with Jews and Gentiles alike.  But now they’re facing opposition within their own ranks.  In Acts chapter fifteen we read about a severe deviation from the Gospel message.

I probably don’t have to convince you that life is difficult. There’ll be some bumps and bruises that we’ll encounter along the way.  But there’s something important you need to know, and that is what God is accomplishing through it all.  And Jesus will be there with you!  That’s the emphasis of pastor Jeff’s message in Acts chapter fourteen today on Sound Doctrine.

Today on Sound Doctrine we spotlight Acts chapter fourteen, and verses twenty-one and twenty-two.  It’s good to be reminded that life isn’t supposed to be easy, and we’ll face hardship and suffering.  But God will be with us, and can even deliver us as He did for the apostles.

Pastor Jeff will be in Acts fourteen on this Friday. I’m sure you’ve seen it… a great evangelistic crusade comes to town, and hundreds come forward. But nobody follows up with them. That’s not what we find here in Acts. Yes the apostles preached the gospel, and many were saved. But they also discipled and taught them. Let’s be encouraged to follow their lead.

What a thrill it is to be used by God, but if we’re not careful we can start to think we had something to do with it. Or think more highly of ourselves than we ought to. Today on Sound Doctrine pastor Jeff heightens our awareness to a danger that coincides with being of God.

As we open the book of Acts we see people coming to the Lord left and right, and there was effective outreach.  Don’t you just long for that to happen in your own neighborhood, or this country of ours? How does it happen?  We get a few clues in Acts chapter fourteen, and that’s where we join pastor Jeff Johnson for Sound Doctrine.
