Wildlife programs on TV show us how powerful and strong lions are. There is very little they fear. And there is very little they can’t conquer. And though the power and strength of a lion may not be the first image that comes to our minds as Christians, Pastor Jeff Johnson gives us many examples where God’s people exemplified the boldness that comes from the Lord. If you listen closely, I’m the Lord will whisper His encouragement through our study. With more of that, let’s join Pastor Jeff for today’s edition of Sound Doctrine in Proverbs 28.

It’s no doubt that we have a Good Shepherd who causes us to lie down in green pastures, and takes care of all our needs. He knows what we will say before there is a word on our tongue. But today on Sound Doctrine Pastor Jeff Johnson reminds us that our Good Shepherd has given us an example to follow. Just as Jesus knows where we are coming from and what we need, so too as believing parents we are called to know the spiritual temperature and well being of our family. With more on that, let’s join Pastor Jeff in our final installment titled, “Money Matters!” in Proverbs 27.

The problem with our desires is that we treat them like an amusement park, they are thrilling and exciting, but they are never satisfied. We go from wanting one stimulating experience, acquisition, or attainment to another. Pastor Jeff Johnson reminds us that Jesus is the only One who is able to give us real contentment. He alone truly satisfies. And all our desires find their contentment completely in Him. With our second installment of our study titled, “Money Matters” in Proverbs 27, here is Pastor Jeff Johnson.

When it comes to finances, we aren’t all given the same amount. But we are all given the same amount of time to use it for the same Lord.  And we can recognize that God desires to see us faithful with what He has entrusted to us. Pastor Jeff reminds us that how we use it and what we do with it will either be a blessing or a hindrance to our lives and God’s kingdom. The question we need to ask ourselves is who’s glory are we using it for: God’s our ours? With more on that, here’s Pastor Jeff in Proverbs 27 with our study titled, “Money Matters” in Sound Doctrine.

The popular song by MercyMe called, “Dear Younger Me,” stirs the imagine to wonder what advice we’d give our younger selves knowing what we know now. Today on Sound Doctrine Pastor Jeff Johnson takes up the same call from Proverbs reminding us of the consequences when we don’t listen to warnings. He then reminds us how Jesus is able to redeem bad choices in the here and now and then ultimately deliver us to a heavenly home.  How powerful a reminder to share with friends and family who don’t know Jesus as their Lord. We pick up in Proverbs 27 for our study titled, “Relationships” with Pastor Jeff Johnson.

Have you ever heard the phrase, “Been there, done that”? Of course we have. It explains how we have already checked off something from a tiresome list of things to do; a one-off kind of contact, if you will. But what happens when that “tried it and moved on” mindset is adopted by God’s people? And what should our response be to this mindset? Today on Sound Doctrine Pastor Jeff Johnson goes to explain why this is a dangerous mindset for the Christian and then helps us to have a Biblical response from Proverbs 27. It’s taken from the study titled, “Relationship” for today’s installment of Sound Doctrine.

Correction given in love is far better than flattering expressions of adoration. Many people don’t like to go to church because they don’t want to be convicted or convinced of their sin. But like David being corrected by Nathan over his sins, God does so because He seeks our restoration and health. Today on Sound Doctrine Pastor Jeff reminds us that those supposed friends who are quick to show expressions of affection will also be quick to let us fall when a real friendship is needed. It’s our last study titled, “Thoughts on How to Live”, so let’s join Pastor Jeff in Proverbs 27 for today’s installment of Sound Doctrine.

In all our business models of what it means to be professional in our conduct or politically correct in how we relate to one another, is it possible that we have missed out on opportunities to reach out with the love of God because we are afraid of what others will say of us and to us? Pastor Jeff Johnson gives Biblical, candid, and direct answers for the need to reach out and deal with confrontation when needed. While no one enjoys confronting others, no one should relish the opportunity for the sake of confronting someone. Pastor Jeff helps us to see God’s wisdom in showing genuine love by knowing how and when to intervene with correction. That’s part of our study titled, “Thoughts on How to Live” in Proverbs 27.

A lot can happen in one day. Every day 365,000 new births take place. Approximately 18 million people will celebrate their birthday. There will be 6.8 million lightning strikes. Every tree will provide enough oxygen for 2/3 of the earth’s population. Your heart will beat 104,000 times. It’s true that a lot can happen in one day. That’s why today on Sound Doctrine Pastor Jeff Johnson is reminding us of the importance that God wants us to take each day with. We have no idea what each day holds for us and we are called to make the most of every opportunity. So with that in mind, let’s join Pastor Jeff in our first installment in Proverbs titled, “Thoughts on How to Live.”

Moment of truth: As you find yourself going through these Proverbs with Pastor Jeff Johnson we’re glad to have you here. But has God’s Spirit been speaking to you? Are there areas in your life in which you recognize that God is trying to show how you need His presence? If so, we encourage you to take to heart the deliverance and forgiveness of sins that only Jesus Christ offers. As we are reminded in the study, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels is not just a classic movie title. It’s of think very little of the very great damage they do to others. With that in mind, let’s join Pastor Jeff for our final study in Proverbs 26.
