Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones

Defeating Greed, Part 1

Defeating Envy, Part 2

Defeating Envy, Part 1

In James chapter four, verse two, we read these sobering words. “You envy and cannot obtain, so you quarrel and fight." Well, today Ron takes us to the sixth of the seven deadly sins, envy. It stirs up untold amounts of strife, in relationships … in the church, and as we’ve seen for the past few months, it can divide our society at large. How can we overcome this deadly sin?  Find out next, as Ron continues his teaching series, “Undefeated: Overcoming the Deadly Sins that Drag You Down.”

Defeating Gluttony, Part 2

Self-indulgence is the enemy of self-denial and the enemy of Christian discipleship. Those aren’t my words. They’re the words of Dr. Ron Jones, lead pastor at Atlantic Shores Baptist Church in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Well, the world preaches self-improvement and self-indulgence. Jesus taught self-denial and self-restraint. Today, Ron sets the table for us on how to overcome the deadly sin of gluttony.

Defeating Gluttony, Part 1

You may think of gluttony as being addicted to eating too much. But there’s far more to it than that. The Bible has plenty to say about gluttony. And when it does, it always includes words of caution about drunkenness. The word gluttony not only excessive eating, but excessive drinking. Ron digs in to the subject of gluttony today, as he continues his teaching series, “Undefeated: Overcoming the Deadly Sins that Drag You Down.”
