Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones

In the Gospel of Matthew, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and instructed him to take Mary and the infant Jesus to Egypt to escape the wrath of King Herod. The story is beautifully depicted in a painting by Rembrandt called “Joseph’s Dream.” Ron takes us to this beautiful work of art and to this story as he moves ahead in his teaching series, “The Art of Christmas.”  

On the day our Lord Jesus Christ came into the world, most of the world didn’t even notice. The question all of us should ask ourselves is this: How often do we make room in our lives for Jesus? In the midst of our hectic schedules, with all that’s going on between work and family and all the rest of it, how much time do we carve out to spend with the Creator of the universe? Ron shares some great insight on this very subject next, as he continues his teaching series, “The Art of Christmas.”   

The Lord works in mysterious ways, but He also works in providential ways. We know the Lord has done miracles. We read about them in Scripture, and some of us may have experienced one in our own lives. But much of the time, God works providentially, which is to say He works behind the scenes. Pastor Ron shares a great example of the providential work of God today, as he moves ahead in his teaching series, “The Art of Christmas.”  

As human beings, what do you believe to be our greatest need? It’s a fascinating question, isn’t it? What do we need most? I think you’ll want to stay here with us for today’s message, as Ron talks about our greatest need and how God chose to fill it.  

If you want to see a living portrait of faith, look no further than Joseph. We’ve all been let down or disappointed before. Plans we made got changed, someone canceled on us at the last minute, and maybe there were a few hard feelings. The next time that happens, let’s take a lesson from Joseph, step out in faith, and let God do what He does best. Joseph’s story comes your way next, as Ron moves ahead in his series, “The Art of Christmas.”  

Fra Angelico’s painting, “Annunciation,” is a beautiful visual commentary on the biblical scene in which the angel Gabriel tells Mary she will give birth to the Messiah. Today, Ron highlights five aspects of Jesus Christ as foretold by Gabriel in his appearance to Mary. Stay with us now as Ron moves ahead in his teaching series, “The Art of Christmas.” 

The greatest artist in history is none other than the Lord of all Creation, God Himself. But throughout the ages, He has gifted human artists with the talent to tell His story. For the next week or so, Ron will take us to four scenes in the Bible, and to four artistic renderings that serve as visual commentaries to those passages of Scripture. It’s all part of his teaching series, “The Art of Christmas,” and it starts right now. 

Through faith in Christ, you can have peace in your heart. But one day Jesus will bring about a peace on Earth unlike anything we’ve ever seen. The Book of Revelation talks about the Millennial reign of Christ, a one-thousand-year period in which He will establish His kingdom on Earth. It will be a time of unprecedented peace, ushered in by the Prince of Peace. Stay with us now to learn more about this future kingdom, as Ron continues his teaching series, “Knowing God by His Christmas Names.” 

For unto us a child is born. Unto us a son is given. And He shall be called Wonderful Counselor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace. That’s Isaiah nine, six, and this is Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones. Today, Ron continues his important teaching series, “Knowing God by His Christmas Names.” There are seven names in all, and today we come to number four on the list, the “Prince of Peace.”  

The Bible tells us that Jesus Christ is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. But what does that really mean? The truth is Jesus had no beginning and He will have no end. He always was and forever will be. Ron unpacks this idea for us next, as he continues his teaching series, “Knowing God by His Christmas Names.”
