Do you want to know what your priorities are? Take a good look at your bank statement. Jesus was a man with great power, uncommon passion, and a charismatic presence. But He was also a man of priority. He lived that way, and—in Matthew chapter six—He taught us to pray that way. Stay with us now as Ron moves ahead in his teaching series, “The Jesus Way to Pray.”
If you’ve been saved by faith in God the Son, then God the Father is also Your Father. Through the shed blood of Jesus Christ, we can boldly approach the throne of God and call Him “Father.” But, as you’ll hear today, His name is still hallowed, and we’re called to respect and revere Him accordingly. Stay with us now as Ron continues his teaching series, “The Jesus W...
One of the most beautiful things about the Lord’s Prayer is found in the first two words, "Our Father." Jesus could have said, “My Father.” Instead, He said Our Father, and, in doing so, He invited all mankind to address Almighty God in this way. Today, Ron takes an in-depth look at the first stanza of the Lord’s Prayer, with special emphasis on these first two words—what ...
A passionate and effective prayer life is not built on repetition, but on relationship. There’s nothing wrong with having a conversation with God in which you praise Him more than once, or thank Him more than once, or make the same request more than once. But more than anything, prayer is about developing a deep, intimate relationship with the God who already knows your needs. Stay with us today as Ron moves ahead in his...
One of the best ways to learn to do something right, is to see what it looks like to do it wrong. In Matthew chapter six, Jesus gave us a template for talking to God, what you and I know as the Lord’s Prayer. But before He told us how to pray, He told us how not to pray. Ron takes us to this passage next, as he continues his teaching series, “The Jesus Way to Pray.”
“The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.” That’s James five, sixteen, and this is Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones. When James talks about fervent prayer, he’s encouraging us to pray with unbridled passion. Is that how you pray? If not, what would it take for you to start? Today, Ron offers some biblical insight into the power and necessity of a passionate prayer life,...
It’s true that prayer is our way of communicating with God. But it’s so much more than that. Coming your way next, Ron kicks off his teaching series, “The Jesus Way to Pray.” And he begins with a touching story from the world of professional sports, one in which prayer, and the passion behind it, became a major part of the media narrative.
The day is coming when the door to salvation will close. But for now, it’s open to everyone. The Bible tells us that Jesus Christ is the door of the sheep, and that His sheep hear His voice. In what ways does He talk to us? That’s what we’ll discover today in John chapter ten, as Ron continues his series, “Why Jesus? Seven Reasons He Is Still The One And Only.”
If you want to walk in the light today but don’t know how, you’ve come to the right place. In just a few moments, Ron takes a hard look at this hard saying of Jesus, one that will help you learn to follow the light, and walk in it continually.
What’s true of the body is true of the spirit. Knowledge of God cannot sustain intimacy with God. Today, Ron explores one of the hard sayings of Jesus, “I am the Bread of Life.” What did He mean? And how did those who were with Him respond to His words?
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.
What does the Bible say about heaven? Maybe not as much as you’d like, but more than you might think. God hasn’t told us everything about heaven, but He has given us a few glimpses. As you’ll hear Ron tell it today, it’s a little bit like watching a baseball game through a hole in a wooden fence. You can’t see the whole picture, but you can see enough to pique your interest. Stay with us now as Ron kic...
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.”
"Come now, you rich, weep and wail for the misery that is coming upon you." That’s James five, verse 1, and this is Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones. Well, you may think those words are reserved for the one-percenters. Wealthy men and women who have come to love money more than God. But maybe, just maybe, he’s talking to me and you as well. Stay with us now as Ron moves ahead in his teaching series, “James: A Fai...
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.
