Sound Doctrine

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. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/621/29?v=20251111

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...

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...

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...

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...

If you’ve been with us recently, you may recall how David beautifully handled his conflict with Saul. He had the perfect opportunity to retaliate against the man who was trying to kill him, but David chose the higher road. Now today, we find him in a similar circumstance, but this time he tries to take matters into his own hands. Rather than getting all worked up, and seek vengeance, there’s a muc...

We encounter foolish people on a daily basis; whether its on the freeway, at the office; or maybe even waiting in line at the grocery store. Today, we learn how to deal with fools, as God would have us. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/621/29?v=20251111

As we continue to study the life of David today on Sound Doctrine, pastor Jeff Johnson will contrast the life of David with the life of the man stalking him - Saul. Both men were sinners, to be sure, just as all of us are. But David had something Saul didn’t have - a repentant heart. We would do well to soak in the difference between a repentant heart and a cold indifferent heart. Join us in First...

We’re studying the book of First Samuel at present, and in case you have missed our recent broadcasts, David is currently on the run from Saul. Imagine having three thousand hunters determined to find and kill you! David and his six hundred men are facing that terror, but all of a sudden the tables turn, and an opportunity presents itself for David to kill Saul. Let’s see how this all plays out, a...

Today we finish up Jeff’s message in First Samuel twenty-three. Throughout God’s word we read about faith in God. Sometimes it’s a lack of faith, and sometimes it’s an abundance of faith. The point is, why do we find ourselves so often relying on our wisdom, and not having faith in God’s wisdom? In First Samuel chapter twenty-three, we see David being pursued by Saul and his men. It’s seems inevit...

We're about halfway through the year 2026. Are you still following any of the resolutions you made last January? Many people make resolutions concerning consistency. They wish they could be more consistent in their relationships, in their work, in life in general. For the Christian, a consistent faith makes for a closer walk with The Lord. That should be our goal, no matter what time of year it is...
