Advertise on podcast: Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones

“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age." Well, you may think of terrorists and murderers, maybe even some politicians, as the enemy. But the real enemies of God are the unseen forces of darkness led by Satan himself. How do we defeat them? Find out next, as Ron continues his teaching series, “AD: Acts of the Apostles.”

Before he was a teacher, he was a terrorist. We know him now as the Apostle Paul. But before he was a missionary, he was a murderer, a hitman for the Sanhedrin who took the lives of Christians, and did so in the name of God. Today, Ron takes us to Acts chapter eight to show us how the unseen forces of evil began to gather against the early church, and how God used that persecution to expand His Gospel beyond Jerusalem.

Full of grace, filled with the Holy Spirit, martyred for his faith. What we can learn from the life, and the death, of Stephen, on this Tuesday edition of Something Good radio. Today, Ron takes us once again to the story of the first Christian martyr, a young follower of Christ who shared his faith with boldness as well as grace.

The church was born out of the blood of Jesus Christ. And it grew, at least in part, by the blood of Christian martyrs. Today, Ron shares the story of Stephen, a deacon in the early church in Jerusalem, a leader full of grace and filled with the Holy Spirit, and a man who gave his life for the cause of Christ. It all comes your way next, in Ron’s continuing teaching series, “A.D. Acts of the Apostles.”

Today, Ron continues his teaching series, “AD: Acts of the Apostles.” It’s a timely message about how the early church selected its leadership, how it solved problems, and most of all, how it grew in spite of heavy persecution.

When we read the book of Acts, we see that the early church faced several challenges from without. Political leaders, religious leaders, and anyone opposed to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The persecution began almost immediately and grew worse over time. But today Ron takes us to a different kind of problem, one the church faced from within, as he continues his teaching series, “AD: Acts of the Apostles.”

Where do you get your marching orders, from God or from man? Well, that which is legal isn’t always right. And as you’ll see today, that which is illegal isn’t always wrong. Today’s message is straight ahead, as Ron continues his teaching series, “AD: Acts of the Apostles.”

Always glad to have you with us. Today, Ron takes us to Acts chapter five, where we find a supernatural demonstration of God’s power taking place in the early church. Healings. Signs and wonders. Thousands coming to faith in Christ. All this at a time when the church was often told not to share the Gospel at all. Today’s message is straight ahead.

Today, Ron takes us once again to the shocking story of Ananias and Sapphira. It’s a sobering look at the way God may sometimes deal with disobedience, and it comes your way next as Ron continues his teaching series, “AD: Acts of the Apostles.”

It’s one of the most shocking stories in the entire New Testament, and it comes your way next, on today’s edition of Something Good. Things seemed to be going quite well for the early church. People were being saved, the body of Christ had a strong community life, and then the unthinkable happened. Ron has the full story straight ahead, as he continues his teaching series, “AD: Acts of the Apostles.”

Are you reluctant to share your faith in Christ? Maybe even a little frightened? Well, it’s natural to be a little uneasy about sharing your faith. But God wants to give you something supernatural: the power to go from fearful to fearless, bashful to bold. Today, Ron gives you three steps to doing just that, as he continues his series, “AD: Acts of the Apostles.”

If I asked you to name the single greatest threat to the Christian faith, what would you say? You don’t need to answer just yet. Instead, think about it for the next few minutes as Ron shares more of his teaching series, “A.D. Acts of the Apostles.”

How can you know that Jesus is who He claims to be? There is an answer to that question, and Ron shares it with you today as he continues his series, “AD: Acts of the Apostles.”

A sign and a sermon, on this Wednesday edition of Something Good. Well, the book of Acts is in many ways a book of firsts. In Acts chapter two we see the outpouring of the Holy Spirit for the first time, followed by the first sermon of the church age. Today, Ron takes us to Acts chapter three, and to the first miracle ever performed by an Apostle of Jesus Christ.

Acts chapter two says this about the first Christian church: "They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and prayer. And many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles." Today, Ron returns to the book of Acts to give us a glimpse into the life of the early church and encourage us to uphold the original tenets on which it was founded.
