Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones

Looking for compelling evidence that Jesus Christ is, in fact, the Messiah? If so, you’ve come to the right place. Today, Ron launches Road Trip Number Six in his teaching series, “Route 66: The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible.” It begins with the first book of the New Testament, the Gospel of Matthew, an account that offers convincing proof that Jesus is exactly who He claimed to be. 

Today, we come to the conclusion of Ron’s teaching series, “Paul: Surprised by Grace.” The Apostle Paul has just endured a violent and life-threatening storm and is headed, at long last, to Rome, to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ. 

Are you going through one of life’s storms today? Dr. Ron Jones wants to help you navigate your way through it with courage and grace. Today Ron takes us once again to the life and ministry of the Apostle Paul. As you follow along, you won’t be surprised to learn that he is facing yet another in a long line of challenges. Let’s look closely at the way the apostle handles himself during this storm, as Ron moves ahead in his teaching series, “Paul: Surprised by Grace.”  

Hello, and thanks for being here for today’s Something Good Radio message with Dr. Ron Jones. In Acts chapter twenty-six, we find one of the Apostle Paul’s longest recorded speeches. Appearing before King Agrippa, he defends not only his words and actions, but the Gospel of Jesus Christ. And as usual, the Apostle’s presentation was truthful, but cheerful, gritty but gracious. Ron takes us to this dramatic confrontation next, as he moves ahead in his teaching series, “Paul: Surprised by Grace.” 

In Acts chapter nine, God said the Apostle Paul would one day appear before Gentile governors and kings. More than a quarter century later, that day was finally here. Today, Ron takes us to Acts chapter twenty-five, and to the Apostle Paul’s appearance before King Agrippa. It’s all part of our continuing series, “Paul: Surprised by Grace,” and it comes your way next.  

In Philippians three, verse ten, the Apostle Paul expresses a desire to share in the suffering of Jesus Christ. And for most of his thirty-five-year ministry, suffering is exactly what Paul endured. Coming up next, Ron takes us to Paul’s appearance before the Jewish Supreme Court. His life is on the line, but rather than defend himself, he defends the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  

If you were on trial for being a Christian, what would you say? How would you defend yourself? In Acts chapter twenty-two, the Apostle Paul appears before the Jewish Supreme Court, also known as the Sanhedrin. But rather than defend himself, he defends the Gospel of Jesus Christ. And he does it, surprisingly enough, with a cheerful attitude. Stay with us now as Ron moves ahead in his series, “Paul: Surprised by Grace.”  

You’d be hard-pressed to find someone who faced more pressure during his life and ministry than the Apostle Paul. How did Paul handle outside pressure? What practical lessons can we learn from his response to adversity? Stay with us now to find out, as Ron continues his teaching series, “Paul: Surprised by Grace.”  

Anxiety seems to be at an all-time high today. Pressures at work, pressures at home, the pressures of failure, and of success. But few people have endured the kind of pressure the Apostle Paul had to face. As Paul neared the end of his ministry, he made his way to Jerusalem to preach the Gospel. Shortly after Paul arrived, he was threatened by the Jews, beaten by the Romans, and finally--after declaring his Roman citizenship--he was allowed to appear before the Sanhedrin. That’s where Ron takes us today, as he continues his teaching series, “Paul: Surprised by Grace.”  

Here’s what God said about the Apostle Paul in Acts chapter nine:  “I will show him how much he must suffer for My name.” During his thirty-five-year ministry, the Apostle Paul suffered greatly for the cause of Christ. Today, Ron reminds us that we, too, may be asked to make sacrifices, maybe even to endure suffering, for the glory of God and for the advancement of the Gospel.
