“In all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.” That’s Romans eight, thirty-seven, and this is Something Good. Back in the Sixth Century, Pope Gregory the First came up with a list of seven deadly sins. Pride, anger, lust, laziness, gluttony, envy, and greed. For the next couple of weeks Ron will take you through each of them, as he shares his teaching series, “Undefeated: Overcoming the Deadly Sins that Drag You Down.”
Have you ever wondered where the concept of tithing began? Contrary to what you may have heard, it came along well before the Old Testament Law. Today, Ron wraps up his teaching series, “I Resolve,” by reminding us that when God asks us to tithe, He’s not wanting something from us; He’s wanting something for us.
Did you know that the Bible talks more about money than it talks about prayer or about faith? It’s true. There’s a reason why God spends so much time talking to us about the way we view and use money. Today, Ron takes a deep dive into the subject as he continues his teaching series, “I Resolve.”
Do you know what your spiritual gifts are? Maybe the place to start is by learning a little bit about each of them. God’s Word divides the spiritual gifts into three distinct groups, sign gifts, supporting gifts, and serving gifts. Ron takes a look at all three today as he moves ahead in his teaching series, “I Resolve.”
You may have already made a few New Year’s resolutions. But were they promises about what you’ve decided to do or predictions about what you hope to do? The word “resolve” means to come to a definite or earnest decision about something. Today, Ron encourages us to resolve to become better stewards of one of the three key areas of our lives, our talent. Stay with us now as Ron continues his teaching series, “I Resolve."
We often think of time as something we spend. But the Bible tells us that it is something we first have to buy back. So how do we go about the process of buying back our time? The answer comes your way next, as Ron shares five biblical ways to redeem your time. Stay with us now as Ron moves ahead in his series, “I Resolve.”
Made any New Year’s Resolutions for twenty-twenty-six? Well, being resolved is one thing, staying resolved is quite another. We sometimes start off doing really well, but when frustration or complacency set in, we may stop being as diligent as we need to be. Today, Ron wants to encourage you make a specific life change, and he wants to help you make it a permanent one.
“Unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.” Jesus said those words in Matthew chapter five to His disciples and to a great multitude who had gathered there to hear His teaching. But what exactly does this particular teaching mean? How are we to exceed the righteousness of the Pharisees? Answers come your way next, as Ron moves ahead in his teaching series, “Kingdom Come: Lessons from the Sermon on the Mount.”
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.”
Over the next few days, Ron shares a few of his best messages from twenty-twenty-five. Each will come from his teaching series, “Kingdom Come: Lessons from the Sermon on The Mount.” Coming up next, a message about how believers in Christ should impact the world we live in. As you’ll see over the next twenty minutes or so, salt and light are not things Jesus asked us to become. They are what we already are.
“Unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.” Coming up next, Dr. Ron Jones wraps up his teaching series, “The Art of Christmas,” with an in-depth look at the Light of the World, Jesus Christ Himself, but also the darkness into which He was born.
In the Gospel of Matthew, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and instructed him to take Mary and the infant Jesus to Egypt to escape the wrath of King Herod. The story is beautifully depicted in a painting by Rembrandt called “Joseph’s Dream.” Ron takes us to this beautiful work of art and to this story as he moves ahead in his teaching series, “The Art of Christmas.”
On the day our Lord Jesus Christ came into the world, most of the world didn’t even notice. The question all of us should ask ourselves is this: How often do we make room in our lives for Jesus? In the midst of our hectic schedules, with all that’s going on between work and family and all the rest of it, how much time do we carve out to spend with the Creator of the universe? Ron shares some great insight on this very subject next, as he continues his teaching series, “The Art of Christmas.”
The Lord works in mysterious ways, but He also works in providential ways. We know the Lord has done miracles. We read about them in Scripture, and some of us may have experienced one in our own lives. But much of the time, God works providentially, which is to say He works behind the scenes. Pastor Ron shares a great example of the providential work of God today, as he moves ahead in his teaching series, “The Art of Christmas.”
As human beings, what do you believe to be our greatest need? It’s a fascinating question, isn’t it? What do we need most? I think you’ll want to stay here with us for today’s message, as Ron talks about our greatest need and how God chose to fill it.
If you want to see a living portrait of faith, look no further than Joseph. We’ve all been let down or disappointed before. Plans we made got changed, someone canceled on us at the last minute, and maybe there were a few hard feelings. The next time that happens, let’s take a lesson from Joseph, step out in faith, and let God do what He does best. Joseph’s story comes your way next, as Ron moves ahead in his series, “The Art of Christmas.”
Fra Angelico’s painting, “Annunciation,” is a beautiful visual commentary on the biblical scene in which the angel Gabriel tells Mary she will give birth to the Messiah. Today, Ron highlights five aspects of Jesus Christ as foretold by Gabriel in his appearance to Mary. Stay with us now as Ron moves ahead in his teaching series, “The Art of Christmas.”
The greatest artist in history is none other than the Lord of all Creation, God Himself. But throughout the ages, He has gifted human artists with the talent to tell His story. For the next week or so, Ron will take us to four scenes in the Bible, and to four artistic renderings that serve as visual commentaries to those passages of Scripture. It’s all part of his teaching series, “The Art of Christmas,” and it starts right now.
Through faith in Christ, you can have peace in your heart. But one day Jesus will bring about a peace on Earth unlike anything we’ve ever seen. The Book of Revelation talks about the Millennial reign of Christ, a one-thousand-year period in which He will establish His kingdom on Earth. It will be a time of unprecedented peace, ushered in by the Prince of Peace. Stay with us now to learn more about this future kingdom, as Ron continues his teaching series, “Knowing God by His Christmas Names.”
