It’s just might be the most famous trial in the history of Western civilization. And it’s definitely the most important. I’m not talking about Roe versus Wade, Plessy versus Ferguson, or even the O.J. Simpson trial, which was viewed by one hundred and fifty million people. No, I’m talking about the trial of Jesus Christ before the Sanhedrin. Today Ron takes us to that day, to that courtroom, as he continues his teaching series, “What’s So Good About Good Friday?”

What does it mean to live a crucified life? Jesus gave us many hard sayings during His life on Earth. This one might be the hardest of all. “If anyone would come after Me, he must deny himself and take up His cross and follow Me.” Today Ron tells us what that crucified life should look like in a devoted follower of Christ.  

Jesus doesn’t have a Facebook account or a Twitter page, but He is looking for a few faithful followers. Jesus said, “If anyone should come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.” What does it mean to follow Jesus?  What does it look like in day to day life? Answers come your way next, as Ron continues his teaching series, “What’s So Good About Good Friday.”  

History books may tell you that the Roman soldiers held Jesus Christ to the cross by driving sharpened steel through His hands and feet. Don’t believe it. If you want to know what really held Jesus on the cross, you’re about to find out, as Ron continues his teaching series, “What’s So Good About Good Friday?” As you follow along, keep these words of Christ in mind. “No one takes my life from Me, I give it up of my own accord.”  

“When I came to you, brothers, I did not come with eloquence or wisdom, for I decided to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.” Well, those words from the Apostle Paul remind us of a singular truth, there is nothing more central to the Christian faith than the proper understanding of the cross of Christ. And that’s where we’re headed today as Ron begins his teaching series, “What’s So Good About Good Friday?”  

What does a true disciple of Christ look like? Well, God has called us to make disciples.  But first, we have to be disciples. What does that mean?  What does a genuine follower of Jesus look like? Answers are straight ahead in today’s teaching from Dr. Ron Jones.  

Last words are often some of the most important words. Today on Something Good, the last words Jesus said to His disciples before He ascended into heaven. Well, Jesus taught us many things during His life and ministry. He gave us the Greatest Commandment, to love God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength. He also gave us the Great Commission, to go and make disciples. Coming your way next, Ron takes you to that day, to that mountaintop where Jesus offered His final words to the disciples.  

The good news is, you don’t have to be good at math to be good at marriage, just as long as one of you can keep the checkbook straight. Marriage is under severe attack in America today, perhaps now more than ever.  It’s a silent but vocal minority, and the number is growing almost daily. Today, Ron takes us once again to God’s original design for marriage … found in Genesis chapter two.  

The Bible tells us that Satan comes to steal, kill and destroy. And there’s no better example in our culture today than the institution of marriage. God’s design for marriage is under attack like never before, and today Ron offers a biblical defense of marriage as God intended it to be.  

The statistics are staggering. What is God asking you to do to help meet people at their point of need? Whether you’re listening on radio or online, we’re so glad you stopped by. Today Ron concludes his study of the book of James with a powerful message about our social responsibility as Christians.  

The Bible is not meant to be a sociology textbook. But it does have plenty to say on the subject. God’s Word tells us to defend the poor and the fatherless, to do justice to the afflicted and needy, and to plead for the widows and orphans. Today, Ron challenges those of us who have resources to use them in a manner that pleases God and helps those around us.  

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 wants you make Him the most important part of the planning process.  Today’s message is straight ahead, as Ron continues his series, “James: Your Faith In Action.”  

In the kingdom of God, the best way to receive is to give, and the best path to self-improvement is through self-denial. So when it comes to the way God wants us to plan our lives, as usual, it’s a little unusual.  

The Bible tells us that God’s ways are not our ways. It’s true in every aspect of life, including the conflict we have with others.  We may think we have a good way to handle it, but finding the God way is always best. That’s where Ron takes us today as he continues his series, “James: Your Faith In Action.”
