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: A...
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 encourage us to uphold the original tenets on which it was founded.
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: Act...
Consider the words of Peter in Acts chapter two. "Repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ 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 cont...
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.&nb...
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 will 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.&rdquo...
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.
Have you ever poured out your heart to God and felt like He might not even be listening? Believe it or not, there are times when God won’t hear our prayers, and other times when He won’t answer them. The good news is, there’s a way to make sure our prayers are getting through to Him. Today, Ron takes us through the four categories of prayer, as well as some of the hindrances to answered prayer. &nbs...
We’re not sinners because we sin; we sin because we’re sinners. In a fallen, sinful world, Jesus is our only hope. Through faith in Him, we gain eternal life, an unbreakable relationship with God. But in the meantime, we still sin, which frustrates our fellowship with God. Today, Ron takes a look at the four stages of temptation, and the four solutions to temptation, as ...
“And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.” That’s Matthew six, thirteen, and this is Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones. The Christian life is a battle against an unseen enemy. Purveyors of darkness that are not only powerful, but highly organized. Just how formidable are these forces of evil? What are their strengths and limitations? Ron shares a few answers next, as he continues his te...
It’s been said that resentment is like swallowing poison and expecting the other person to die. One of the foundational principles of Christ’s teaching is that we are called to forgive others. When we don’t, we’re only hurting ourselves, and the damage might be far worse than you think. Today, Ron takes us to a familiar parable that reminds us just how seriously God takes forgiveness. &nb...
