Sound Doctrine

Would you be described today as faint-hearted?As we open up First Samuel chapter thirty, that’s the reality for a 1/3 of David’s men. They were bummed out, burned out, and blown out, but they didn’t back out! And pastor Jeff Johnson will explain why as we go along. God loves to give strength and encouragement to the faint-hearted, so if that’s you today, please keep listening.

Maybe like the man we’ll hear about today, you’re greatly distressed and in a crisis! What do you do and where do you turn at such times? Reach for a gallon of ice cream and go into seclusion? Actually there’s a much better response. Pastor Jeff Johnson says there’s strength for the faint-hearted to be found in First Samuel chapter 30.

Scripture promises that God won’t allow us to be tempted above that which we are able... and will make a way of escape that we may be able to bear it... But we must seek Him as David did. That’s what we’ll talk about today on Sound Doctrine with pastor Jeff Johnson.

Today we come to First Samuel chapter twenty-nine. It’s a low time in the life of David. When you would think things couldn’t get any worse - they get worse. That’s not only David story, it’s everyone’s story at some point. And what David did at that time will prove to be very instructive for us - in getting through hard times.

One of the agonies of hell must be the regret of not having taken advantage of the many opportunities God provided. God displays great patience with everyone - until it’s too late! What is God saying to you? May you not harden yourself by rejecting His word. That’s what happened to Saul as we’ll learn today on Sound Doctrine.

The hold that sin has on us gets stronger the more we sin, and so does the deception that goes along with it. We think we are “ok”, and can escape at any point, not realizing the power sin has over us. Let us instead submit ourselves to God’s righteous and loving discipline. To make certain the invisible chains of sin and compromise are not taking over our lives. Let’s join pastor Jeff Johnson in First Samuel chapter twenty eight and learn from David’s lapse into compromise.

Are you discouraged today? Losing hope? Maybe your faith in the Lord is growing dim? If that describes you, know this - you’re not alone! It happens to so many, including David. Right on the heals of success, came a season where he gave up trusting in God and took matters into his own hands. We’ll hear about it in First Samuel twenty seven today on Sound Doctrine. Pastor Jeff Johnson will show us where David went wrong, so we can avoid this sort of faith crisis ourselves.

Whether you’re a pastor, Sunday School teacher, volunteer in the nursery, or serving on some committee, we all go through times when we’re tired in the work and maybe even of the work. Along comes satan with one of his favorite tools in his tool bag - discouragement. That’s the place David found himself, in First Samuel twenty-seven. We’ll examine his desire to escape today, as Pastor Jeff Johnson continues to highlight First Samuel for us.

David was one of the greatest men in the Bible. He was a brave warrior. He was man after God’s own heart. And one of the greatest examples of his trust in God is coming up today on Sound Doctrine, with pastor Jeff Johnson.

We all encounter pain and suffering, but the difference is in how we handle those inevitable trials. The Christian has a choice to make in the face of them; we can rejoice because of our hope in Christ; or become miserable and angry, which only makes the suffering worse. Today on Sound Doctrine, Pastor Jeff Johnson continues his study of First Samuel, where we find a King in training. David was no stranger to suffering, and how he handles his suffering serves as an example for us on how to handle our own.
