Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones

If you think the New Testament covenant has diminished or replaced the Old Testament law, Jesus would like to have a word with you. In Matthew chapter five, Jesus says very plainly that He did not come to abolish the Old Testament Law, but to fulfill it. Today, Ron takes an in-depth look at the Lord’s view on the Law, and on righteousness, as he moves ahead in his series, “Kingdom Come: Lessons from the Sermon on the Mount.”  

You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. That’s Matthew five, fourteen, and this is Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones. It’s no secret that we live in a fallen, darkened world. Many have grown comfortable in that darkness. What can we do to help? Ron dives into the subject next, as he moves ahead in his teaching series, “Kingdom Come: Lessons From the Sermon on the Mount.” 

If you’re a believer in Christ, you’ll face some persecution. You may not be martyred, but you will be mocked. The question is, how should you respond? Ron answers that question next, as he wraps up his teaching series, “Your Happy Place: Living The Beatitudes of Jesus.”  

Today, we come to the eighth and final Beatitude of Christ, a teaching He gave as part of His Sermon on the Mount in Matthew chapter five.  “Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,” He said, “for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Ron unpacks this teaching today as he continues his series, “Your Happy Place: Living The Beatitudes of Jesus.”  

Sometimes we don’t have to do a thing for God to bless us. But most of the time, He requires us to do a little hard work. In the home, on the job or at your local church, it’s not always easy to make peace. But God has called us to make every effort to be at peace with all men. How should you go about it? Answers come your way next, as Ron continues his series, “Your Happy Place: Living The Beatitudes of Jesus.” 

The days of war and conflict will one day be over. In the meantime, God is looking for a few good peacemakers. In the midst of a chaotic and frenzied world, God wants to give you the peace that surpasses all understanding. But you might have to do a little work to get it. Your prescription for peace is up next, as Ron moves ahead in his teaching series, “Your Happy Place: Living The Beatitudes of Jesus.”  

If you want to improve your spiritual vision, if you’d like to have a deeper, more intimate relationship with God, you’re about to find out how. Coming up next, Ron moves ahead in his series, “Your Happy Place: Living The Beatitudes of Jesus,” by asking you an important question: Do you have a singular devotion to God? If you’re not sure, don’t worry, Ron is about to show you exactly what that kind of lifestyle looks like. 

What does the Lord require of you? “To act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.” One of the toughest things for fallen human beings to do is find the perfect balance between justice and mercy. It’s true in the judicial system, in our parenting, in almost every area of life. Today, Ron gives us some helpful insight as he continues his teaching series, “Your Happy Place: Living The Beatitudes of Jesus.” 

Do you want to live a blessed Christian life? Then drink from the well of Living Water, and never thirst again. Today, Ron moves ahead in his teaching series, “Your Happy Place: Living the Beatitudes of Jesus.”  

So what are you hungry for? If you’re hungry for the wrong things, you’ll never be satisfied. But God has made you a promise. If you’re hungry for His righteousness, if you’re hungry for God Himself, you’ll never go hungry again. Stay with us now as Ron moves ahead in his teaching series, “Your Happy Place: Living The Beatitudes of Jesus.”  

Jesus could have crushed His enemies with a wave of His hand. Instead, He chose to die for them. That’s what meekness looks like.  What does it look like for you? As believers in Christ, we’re called to be imitators of Him. Today, Ron explains what meekness looks like on the job, in the home, and in our relationships in general. Stay with us now for his continuing series, “Your Happy Place: Living The Beatitudes of Jesus.” 

When Jesus said, “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the Earth,” He left us with two big questions to think about. What is meekness, and what does it mean to inherit the Earth. Ron answers the first of those questions today, as he continues his teaching series, “Your Happy Place: Living The Beatitudes of Jesus.”  

You can be genuinely sorry about your sin. But is it godly sorrow or worldly sorrow? On the night Jesus was taken into custody, Judas betrayed Him, and Peter denied Him. Both were sorry for their sin, but only one of them showed genuine, godly sorrow. Ron explains the difference today as he continues his series, “Your Happy Place: Living The Beatitudes of Jesus.” 

Some two thousand years ago, on a hillside overlooking the Sea of Galilee, Jesus delivered the longest recorded message in the Bible. Today, Ron takes us to the Sermon on the Mount and the Beatitudes of Jesus Christ. It’s all part of his continuing series, “Highway To Happiness: Living The Beatitudes of Jesus,” and it starts right now.  

The Christian life is a series of paradoxical ideas. The way up is down. The way to victory is to surrender. Coming up next, Ron continues his series, “Your Happy Place: Living The Beatitudes of Jesus,” by telling us what it looks like to be poor in spirit. As you follow along, remember, humility is the starting point for anyone who longs for the unbridled joy God longs to give you.  

God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. What does it look like to humble yourself before God? Jesus gave us part of the answer when He said, "Blessed are the poor in spirit." This is the first Beatitude, found in Matthew chapter five, and Ron takes an in-depth look at it today as he moves ahead in his series, “Your Happy Place: Living The Beatitudes of Jesus.”
