Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones

Throughout His earthly ministry, Jesus made several “I am” statements. I am the way, the truth, and the life. I am the vine. I am the door. But the first of these statements, from John chapter six, was “I am the bread of life.” Today, Dr. Ron Jones takes an in-depth look at these words as he moves forward with his series, “Why Jesus? Seven Reasons Why He Is Still The One And Only.”

It’s the most important question you’ll ever ask: who am I and why am I here? Coming up next, Ron takes us to Exodus chapter three to remind us that deciding who we’ll be in this life is far less important than knowing where we’ll be in the next.  

The world is filled with false gods and man-made idols. But there is only one “I AM.” Today, Ron begins his teaching series, “Why Jesus? Seven Reasons He Is Still The One And Only.” Along the way, you’ll discover not only who Jesus is, but why you should believe that He is who He claims to be.  

When we pray for a believer in Christ to be healed, God’s answer is always yes. Believe it or not, it’s true. When it comes to healing a born-again believer in Christ, the Lord’s answer is never no. This healing comes in three different ways, and Ron explains each of them today, as he wraps up his teaching series, “James: A Faith That Works.”  

It’s one of the most frequently asked questions in the church. Why does God heal some and not others? In a manner of speaking, God does heal every believer in Christ. We’re either healed here, or else we’re healed in heaven. But in either case, we’re healed. Ron explores this subject today, as he moves ahead in his teaching series, “James: A Faith That Works.”  

Let me ask you, what do you think faith in Christ should look like during times of pain and suffering? In James chapter five, we’re told of four key decisions we can make to help us persevere through adversity in a way that glorifies God. Ron covered the first two in his last message, but he’ll circle back around to them today, and before he’s through, you’ll have a good understanding of all four. 

Jesus said it Himself. In this life you will have trouble. It sure would be nice if life were nothing but picnics and circuses. But the sad truth is all this world can promise us is one battle after another. The question is this: is your faith strong enough to endure pain and suffering and still let the world see the Jesus in you? Today’s message from James chapter five is straight ahead.  

God never asked her to give away all her money. She did it, anyway. Today, Ron takes us to a familiar story from the life of Christ. He and the disciples went to the temple, and they witnessed one of the most beautiful things you’ll ever see. That story and more come your way next, as Ron moves ahead in his teaching series, “James: A Faith That Works.”  

Failing to plan is better than failing to pray. But God never said you can’t do both. Nothing wrong with setting goals for yourself or having a vision for your life. But God should always be the most important part of the planning process.

"For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord. That’s Isaiah fifty-five, eight, and this is Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones. Anytime we’re in conflict with someone, we’re far better off asking the Lord how to handle it. God’s way is always better than a good way. So what exactly is God’s way to handle our disagreements?  

When you’re arguing with someone, the real enemy is someone else. Submit and resist. You’ll hear those two words several times over the next few moments together, as Ron explains how to resolve conflict God’s way and to overcome our adversary, the devil, in the process. Stay with us now as we continue the teaching series, “James: A Faith That Works.”  

Sometimes God gives us grace for no reason other than His kindness. But every now and then, there’s a condition attached. When it comes to resolving conflict, God is more than willing to give you grace. But as you’ll see today, there’s something you have to do first.  

There’s a reason why we quarrel. And it may not be the reason you think. Make no mistake, conflict is unavoidable. And to learn how to handle it the right way, you need to know where it comes from. That’s what Ron helps us understand today, as he continues his teaching series, “James: A Faith That Works.”
