Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones

It began as a sibling rivalry. It culminated, generations later, in a declaration of war. The bad blood between Jacob and his older brother, Esau, is one of the more well-known stories in the Old Testament. And even though the two brothers made amends, a time came when the descendants of Esau sought to destroy the descendants of Jacob. That’s when God stepped in, speaking to the Edomites through the prophet Obadiah. Ron takes us th...

The prophet Amos was something of a country preacher. A man of modest means called to take the word of the Lord to eight nations during a period of great prosperity and affluence. But it was also a time marked by greed, exploitation of the poor, and a rather severe moral decline. What was Amos’ message, and how does it apply to us today? Ron has answers next, as he continues his teaching series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through The ...

God’s grace and mercy are two sides of the same coin. By His grace He gives us what we don’t deserve. By His mercy He withholds what we do deserve. Today, Ron takes us to the book of Hosea, which gives us a beautiful picture of the mercy of God. Time and again the nation of Israel breaks its covenant with God through sin and rebellion. And yet, God says through the prophet Hosea that He will not come against His children in wrath. ...

What’s the difference between worldly sorrow and godly sorrow? Jeremiah has been called the weeping prophet. He was grief-stricken over the spiritual decline of God’s chosen nation Israel, and he wrote about it in the book of Lamentations. His was a godly sorrow, one that motivated him to encourage Israel to repent. Stay with us now as Ron continues his teaching series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through the Bible: The Major Prophets....

When was the last time you experienced deep sorrow or grief? The prophet Jeremiah was grief-stricken over the spiritual decline of the nation of Israel. So he took pen to parchment and wrote the book of Lamentations, a passionate expression of sorrow or grief. But in the midst of all this sorrow, we find something else altogether. Hope. That’s where Ron takes us today, to a place called Hope, as he continues his teaching series, “T...

“For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.” That’s Jeremiah thirty-one, thirty-four, and this is Something Good. When Israel broke their covenant with God, the Lord kept His end of the bargain. He forgave them, He remembered their sin no more, and then He promised to one day launch a whole new covenant with them. Today, Ron explores God’s forgiveness, His new covenant, and what it means for you and m...

God is always up to something good. And sometimes, He’s up to something new. Well, Jeremiah was called by God to be a prophet to the Jewish people at the age of twenty-one. He was tough, yet tender. Some have even called him the “weeping prophet.” Part of his message to Israel was that God would one day do a brand new thing for His chosen people. Ron takes us to the book of Jeremiah next, as he moves ahead in his teaching series, “...

“But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed”.  With those words, the prophet Isaiah showed us our deep need for salvation … and spoke of the only Person, Jesus Christ, who could give it to us.  Ron explores two key ideas from Isaiah today, the depavity of man, and the deliverance of man, as he continues his teaching s...

If you were with us yesterday, you may remember that Ron began sharing a list of things that can help married couples stay together for a lifetime.  He got about halfway through these critical steps, taken from the Song of Solomon chapter eight, before we ran out of time. Today, Ron picks up right where he left off, as he closes out his teaching series, “The Secrets of a Satisfying Marriage: Relationship Wisdom from the Song of Sol...
