Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones

When we read the book of Acts, we see that the early church faced several challenges from without. Political leaders, religious leaders, anyone opposed to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The persecution began almost immediately and grew worse over time. But today Ron takes us to a different kind of problem, one the church faced from within, as he continues his teaching series, “AD: Acts of the Apostle...

Where do you get your marching orders, from God or from man? Well, that which is legal isn’t always right. And as you’ll see today, that which is illegal isn’t always wrong. Today’s message is straight ahead, as Ron continues his teaching series, “AD: Acts of the Apostles.”   

Always glad to have you with us. Today, Ron takes us to Acts chapter five, where we find a supernatural demonstration of God’s power taking place in the early church. Healings. Signs and wonders. Thousands coming to faith in Christ. All this at a time when the church was often told not to share the Gospel at all. Today’s message is straight ahead. 

Today, Ron takes us once again to the shocking story of Ananias and Sapphira. It’s a sobering look at the way God may sometimes deal with disobedience, and it comes your way next, as Ron continues his teaching series, “AD: Acts of the Apostles.” 

It’s one of the most shocking stories in the entire New Testament, and it comes your way next, on today’s edition of Something Good. Things seemed to be going quite well for the early church. People were being saved, the body of Christ had a strong community life, and then the unthinkable happened. Ron has the full story straight ahead, as he continues his teaching series, “AD: Acts of the Apostle...

Are you reluctant to share your faith in Christ? Maybe even a little frightened? Well, it’s natural to be a little uneasy about sharing your faith. But God wants to give you something supernatural, the power to go from fearful to fearless, bashful to bold. Today, Ron gives you three steps to doing just that, as he continues his series, “AD: Acts of the Apostles.” 

If I asked you to name the single greatest threat to the Christian faith, what would you say? You don’t need to answer just yet. Instead, think about it for the next few minutes as Ron shares more of his teaching series, “A.D. Acts of the Apostles.” 

How can you know that Jesus is who He claims to be? There is an answer to that question, and Ron shares it with you today as he continues his series, “AD: Acts of the Apostles.”  

A sign and a sermon, on this Wednesday edition of Something Good. Well, the book of Acts is in many ways a book of firsts. In Acts chapter two we see the outpouring of the Holy Spirit for the first time, followed by the first sermon of the church age. Today, Ron takes us to Acts chapter three, and to the first miracle ever performed by an Apostle of Jesus Christ.  

Acts chapter two says this about the first Christian church, "They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and prayer. And many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles." Today, Ron returns to the book of Acts to give us a glimpse into the life of the early church, and to encourage us to uphold the original tenets upon which...

Acts chapter two is one of the most exciting passages in all of Scripture. The supernatural birth of the church. The first sermon ever preached in the church age, in which three thousand people came to faith in Christ. And then there’s a brief passage that explains what we now know as the five purposes of the church. That’s where Ron is headed today as he continues his teaching series, “AD: Acts o...

Consider the words of Peter in Acts chapter two. "Repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christs for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." Peter’s message was the first sermon of the church age. Simple, direct, straight to the point of what it takes to receive salvation. Today, Ron takes us to this sermon … to this Day of Pentecost, as he c...

Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans ten, seventeen. Earlier in Romans fourteen, the Apostle Paul said, “how will they hear without a preacher?” The spread of the Gospel has always depended, at least in part, on people sharing that truth with the world. Today, Ron takes us back to the day it all began. It’s a sermon about a sermon, and it starts right now. 

The baptism of the Holy Spirit happens at the point of your salvation in Christ. But the filling of the Holy Spirit, that’s a separate experience. Today, Ron explains the difference between being baptized by the Holy Spirit, and being filled with the Holy Spirit. If that sounds a little perplexing, don’t worry. Ron is about to clear up any confusion. 

The birth of the world and the birth of Jesus Christ are two of the most dramatic events in human history. We’ll add one more to the list next, on today’s edition of Something Good. Today, Ron takes us to Acts chapter two, and to one of the most amazing scenes in all of Scripture.  

Are you waiting on an answer from God today? How much have you talked to Him about it? Well, you can make a list of pros and cons. You can talk to a pastor, a friend or a spouse. But unless you’re spending a healthy amount of time in prayer, any decision you make will be something of a gamble. Ron talks about the power of prayer today as he continues his series, “AD: Acts of the Apostles.”

When you read the book of Acts, you can’t help but notice all the good things the disciples of Christ were doing to launch the church and help it grow. But behind it all was a commitment to prayer. Prayer set the foundation for everything the early church was able to accomplish. Ron talks about this essential ingredient today as he continues his series, “AD: The Acts of the Apostles.” 

You don’t have to be a pastor or an evangelist to be a witness for Christ. Are you comfortable sharing your faith, or does it make you a little uneasy? Today, Ron reminds us that we’ve not only been called to be witnesses for Christ, we’ve been equipped to fulfill that calling.  

We’ve got a real treat for you today, as Ron launches his teaching series, “AD: Acts of the Apostles,” which will take us back to the very beginning of the church. How it got started. How it grew. We kick things off next with a two-part message about the way Jesus revolutionized the world and laid the foundation for what we now call the church age. 

Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. We read those words in Matthew twenty-five, verse thirty-two. What does it mean, and when does this judgment take place? Answers come your way next, as Ron wraps up his teaching series,“What On Earth Is Happening: Examining the Prophecies of Jesus.”  

When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with Him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. That’s Matthew twenty-five, thirty-one, and this is Something Good. Just days before Jesus went to the cross to pay for the sin of mankind, He said these words to His disciples in what is known as the Olivet Discourse. Today, Ron takes us there, to that day of both joy and judgment, as he...

Well done my good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things; I will put you in charge of much. Now enter into the joy of your Master. Would you like to hear Jesus say those words to you at the end of the age? If so, stay with us now as Ron continues his teaching series, “What On Earth Is Happening? Examining the Prophecies of Jesus.” 

What does it mean to be faithful? Today, Ron explores one of the most well-known parables of Jesus. It’s about stewardship, money management, but most of all, it’s about being faithful in all things, just as God is always faithful to us.  

The difference between religion and redemption, on this Tuesday edition of Something Good Radio. In Matthew chapter twenty-five, Jesus shares the Parable of the Ten Virgins with His disciples. It’s a story about marriage, but more importantly, about the relationship between Jesus and His bride, the church. Ron unpacks this parable today as he continues his teaching series, “What On Earth Is Happen...

When Jesus comes again, He will return like a thief in the night. He’ll also be coming like a groom for His bride. Well, what does marriage have to do with the Second Coming of Jesus Christ? Perhaps much more than you may have guessed. Ron dives into the subject next, as he continues his teaching series, “What On Earth Is Happening: Examining the Prophecies of Jesus.”
