We’ll join pastor Jeff Johnson in Matthew chapter two in a second and take a look at some of the events surrounding the birth of Jesus. When Joseph received direction from God, He listened and obeyed. He was led by God’s spirit. And pastor Jeff says those are footsteps to follow in, here at the beginning of a new year!

We’ve been in the gospel of Matthew on recent broadcasts, looking at a story familiar to most of us, especially around Christmas time. As we turn back to chapter two, Jesus is now a young child, and the wisemen have come to find, follow and fellowship with Him! Pastor Jeff Johnson believes this is an opportune time to carefully consider who we are serving!

Today we’re going to introduce our new study of the gospel of Matthew. In the coming weeks we’ll be taking our through each chapter and verse in this first book of our New Testament. We’ll start off today asking, Who is this King? Of course referring to King Jesus. Matthew sets out to answer that for us in his genealogy in chapter one, where he gives us the royal kingly line of Jesus.

The Bible describes satan as the father of lies and for good reason. He’s very good at deceiving people, and we’ll unveil one of his greatest deceptions today on Sound Doctrine. It’s the thinking that everything is ok in your relationship with God while you’re living in unrepentant sin! Turn with us to First John chapter one and see how to guard against deceptions like this.

Idolatry isn’t just a thing of the past, but it’s a present reality in many lives. While we may not be setting up wooden images on our mantel, the idols in our lives may take the form of money, sex or pleasure seeking. Let’s be encouraged to embrace the real thing, Jesus Christ!

Today we’re at the tail-end of First John chapter five. It’s interesting that John would end the letter encouraging the reader to keep themselves from idols! We’ll learn today that these idols are lifeless, useless substitutes for the real thing. And Jesus is the real thing, the true and living God. So why settle for anything less!

Today pastor Jeff Johnson pays a visit to First John chapter five where we read about a sin unto death! It’s quite possible that this is referring to physical death, rather than spiritual. An example in Scripture that comes to mind is Ananias and Sapphira, when they lied to the Holy Spirit, and were taken out! We’ll talk about this and more on this insightful edition of Sound Doctrine.

When you encounter a child you haven’t seen in years so often the first thought that runs through our mind is, Boy have they grown! You know something, the same should be said of a Christian, when compared to their life before they met Christ! We should be growing in Christlikeness, not practicing sin.
