Today, we return to the Book of Romans, a theological masterpiece, but one that can often be difficult to read and understand. The letter can be broken down into five parts, sin, salvation, sanctification, the sovereignty of God, and Christian service. It’s those final two, sovereignty and service, that Ron talks about next, as he continues his series, “Route 66: The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible.”  

It might be the most intimidating book in all the Bible. Dr. Ron Jones dives into it next, on this Thursday edition of Something Good Radio. Today, Ron launches Road Trip Number Seven in his teaching series, “Route 66: The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible.” It begins with the book of Romans, a difficult book to read and understand, but more than worth the effort. Ron calls it the Grand Canyon of the Christian faith, something you have to see for yourself in order to fully appreciate and understand. 

“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you; and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the Earth.” Jesus spoke those words just before He ascended into heaven, and we find them recorded in Acts chapter one. This set the stage for all that followed. Ron takes us there next, as he continues his teaching series, “Route 66: The Ultimate Road Trip Through the Bible.” 

You could argue that the church in the Book of Acts did more for the growth of Christianity than all the generations that have followed put together. How did they do it? Ron calls it the early church IPO, the initial public outpouring of the Holy Spirit. And it is through the power of the Holy Spirit that the first Christians were able to persevere through hardship and persecution to launch the church Jesus promised He would build. Stay with us now as Ron takes us to the Book of Acts in his continuing series, “Route 66: The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible.”  

Why should we believe that Jesus is exactly who He claims to be? Find out next, on this Monday edition of Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones. The Gospel of John offers many reasons to believe that Jesus is who He said He was. That was the purpose of John’s writing, to convince his readers to believe that Jesus was and is the long-awaited Messiah. Today, Ron offers some rather convincing proof of Christ’s claim, as he continues his teaching series, ““Route 66: The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible.” 

Seeing is believing. Or is it? Well, to hear the Apostle John tell it, it’s the other way around. Believing is seeing. This truth is echoed throughout the Bible, but the Gospel of John places special emphasis on belief, as well as the Person in whom we should believe. John ultimately takes us to the deep end of theology and philosophy, and we dive into those waters next, as Ron moves ahead in his teaching series, “Route 66: The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible.”  

When the days grew near for Jesus to be taken up, He set His face like a flint to go to Jerusalem.” That’s Luke nine, fifty-one, and this is Something Good Radio. Jesus’ spent His entire three-year ministry serving the needs of others. Healing them. Helping them. Teaching them. But He never lost sight of His primary purpose, to go to Jerusalem and give His life for the sins of mankind. The Gospel of Luke highlights Christ’s fierce determination to complete His ultimate task, and Ron takes us there next, as he continues his teaching series, “Route 66: The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible.”  

One of the things that makes the Gospel of Luke different from the rest of the Gospels is that Luke spends much of his time talking about Christ’s humanity. Yes, our Lord was and is fully God, but He was also fully human, a point Luke emphasizes throughout His Gospel account. Today, Ron takes us to the Gospel of Luke as he continues his teaching series, “Route 66: The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible.” 

When Jesus came the first time, the Jews expected Him to be a warrior, one who would overthrow the Romans and usher in Israel's golden age. And one day that’s exactly what He will do. But that was not His original purpose. Isaiah chapter fifty-three points us to the purpose of Christ’s First Coming. Not as a soldier but as a servant who would defeat sin, Satan and death itself. That’s the picture of Jesus painted for us in the Gospel of Mark, and Ron takes us there next, as he continues his teaching series, “Route 66: The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible.”

Scenes from the life of a suffering servant, on this Monday edition of Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones. Today, Ron continues his journey through the Bible by taking us to the Gospel of Mark. It’s the shortest of the Gospels, focusing primarily on the actions rather than the words of Jesus Christ. As you’ll see in just a few moments, it reads something like an action movie, with the author quickly taking us from one scene to the next. Stay with us now as Ron continues his teaching series, “Route 66: The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible.”
