The Lord is My Light - Part 3
August 27, 2018
Part of walking in the Light is that we experience what is referred to as sanctification, or Christian maturity. It is the progression of victory over sin more and more. And while we may experience sin on a regular basis, it doesn’t dominate our lives as it once used to. As we continue in the Sound Doctrine of Ephesians we see that God has done an amazing work in our lives in calling us light in the Lord. Join us now for our study as we learn exactly what that means for us Biblically and practically as we finish our study titled, “The Lord is My Light - Part 1” with Pastor Jeff Johnson.

Depending on where you are, walking in the darkness can be precarious. If you’re the parent of little ones, the sharp edge of Legos can take a grown man down. If you’re a believer, walking in the darkness will lead you in a place God never intends you to be. As we make our way through Ephesians, Pastor Jeff shows us to what extent our relationship with darkness existed. And then shows us how to walk in the light in Christ as a part of being God’s dear children. With more on that, let’s open our Bibles to Ephesians 5 for our study titled, “The Lord is My Light - Part 1 with Pastor Jeff Johnson.

Welcome to Sound Doctrine. The radio ministry of Calvary Chapel Downey with Pastor Jeff Johnson. To those who hear claims of judgment and evaluation on someone’s spiritual status and think that Christians are simply a group of people who desire to condemn people they hate, consider this: God’s Word is the standard from which anyone who follows Christ uses and submits to themselves. We say this because in our portion of Ephesians we learn that there is a classification of people who practice certain sinful behavior won’t enter the kingdom of God. Pastor Jeff Johnson cautions us against the serious consequences of immorality in our final study in Ephesians titled, “How Not to Walk.”

In order for us to enjoy God’s presence, power, and protection, personal holiness is required in our lives, the separation from evil, and separation to the Lord. Experiencing God’s presence depends on our obedience to His commands. As we continue to learn, “How Not to Walk” in Ephesians, we are noticing how God calls us to avoid the things that promote self-centeredness and self-love above a sacrificial love for others. Pastor Jeff continues to exhort us to sound living from Sound Doctrine in Ephesians chapter 5.

Psalm 1 is one of the most read psalms in the Bible. It outlines the way of the man or woman who is blessed by God. The most noteworthy characteristics of being a blessed person is by what that person doesn’t do as much as what they do. As we continue our studies in Ephesians the apostle Paul reminds us that walking as children who resemble their heavenly Father, there are sinful practices we need to stay as far away from as possible. We begin a new series titled, “How Not to Walk”, and we invite you to take the next few moments and join Pastor Jeff in Ephesians 5 for today’s edition of Sound Doctrine.

As believers we live inbetween two worlds. The physical world of the here and now. And the future that is to come, brought by Jesus Christ. While we recognize that the days are growing darker as time progresses on this world, this should cause us to look up with hopeful expectation because our redemption is drawing near. In Ephesians 5 we are given commands on how to walk, a practical guide on how to be in the world, but not of the world. With more on our study titled, “God is love, so Walk in Love,” here is Pastor Jeff Johnson.

We all like the idea of being tender hearted. The grace and love that flows through that heart resembles Jesus. And we love the idea. But the practice of forgiveness is our challenge.

If you’re able, we invite you to grab your Bible and take notes for our final message in our study titled, “Hard Hearted or Tender Hearted?” with Pastor Jeff Johnson.
