Pastor Jeff will be continuing his study in First Samuel. You might find your place in chapter fourteen. Let’s now meet a man who was not intimidated by the Philistine armies, and in the place of fear was a belief that God could use him in a great way. By the way, He can use you too! It’s a great story of faith in action!

As we look at the life of Jonathan today on Sound Doctrine, one could easily come to the conclusion that this is his finest hour by God’s grace. Jonathan was a man who was not intimidated by the Philistine armies and believed that God could use him in a great way.

Today on Sound Doctrine, pastor Jeff Johnson begins a study in First Samuel twelve, where Samuel gives a stirring final speech to the people. It’s a challenging message for the people back then, and for us today as well. It shows us once again that humanity’s problem with sin hasn’t changed over these thousands of years.

Let’s say someone lashes out in anger against you, and for no good reason! Or, someone falsely accuses you of something at work, and you end up losing your job as a result! When we’re hurt like this, the world would say we have good reason to exact a little revenge. But pastor Jeff is going to suggest a much different approach, and that is to allow the Lord to fight your battles.
