February 12, 2019
The word idolatry isn’t something that is used alot in our culture today; that is, in a negative sense. We have TV shows whose names include it. But when it comes to pursuing an idol, that thought is relegated to ancient history. However, in today’s edition of Sound Doctrine, Pastor Jeff Johnson says idolatry still exists today. And when people come to Christ today, there is still a conscientious turning to God from idols just as it was back then. With more on this significant area of Christianity, let’s turn to 1 Thessalonians for our study in Sound Doctrine.

The highway to heaven is paved with many trials. However, as modern Christians enter into trials today they conclude that it must not be God’s will for them to experience suffering or challenges. That theology of trials doesn’t fit in with modern cultural Christianity. Yet Pastor Jeff says that we don’t want to avoid the refining that awaits us as we look to the Lord during those invaluable times. Because many times we learn there truths and lessons we would learn nowhere else. With more on that, let’s turn to 1 Thessalonians 1 for our study titled, “Elect and Example of the Believer” with Pastor Jeff Johnson for our time in Sound Doctrine.

When it comes to living out the Gospel and sharing it, there will be many obstacles that will come along our paths to dissuade or discourage us. The Bible tells us that we are to endure hardships as good soldiers of Jesus Christ. And Pastor Jeff reminds us that God will go before Him just as He did with the disciples as they were mission-minded and went out to the world to be a witness. And as we take those steps to be a witness in this world, only then will we experience God’s Spirit working through our lives. With our second installment of the message titled, “Elect and Example of the Believer” here’s Pastor Jeff in 1 Thessalonians 1 for our time in Sound Doctrine.

So join us as we begin a new study titled, “Elect and Example of the Believer” from 1 Thessalonians 1 in today’s study of Sound Doctrine.

God has given each person the opportunity for good or evil through the freedom of their choices. He doesn’t hold back the unwilling, but He embraces those who are willing to follow His ways.

Jesus Christ is coming back soon. That is a fact. And yet until He comes, does the Bible tell us about what we’re supposed to be doing until He returns? Pastor Jeff tells us that those two themes are the reason for writing the book of 1 Thessalonians. With every chapter making reference to His return, there is much encouragement that God wants us to know and do as we prepare ourselves and others to see Him. We look forward to our time as we begin our study titled, “To Those Called Out: Faith, Love, and Hope” in 1 Thessalonians 1 with Pastor Jeff Johnson.
