The Gift of Jesus

Sunday, November 14, 2010
Led by Dennis Jeffries
 
What is the Gift of Jesus?
  • Romans 6:23  -  the gift is eternal life; wages are what you earn or the price of something
    • *** Where did death begin? See Genesis 2:17 ***
    • *** To overcome the separation between Adam & Eve and God, a sacrifice had to be made, blood shed. *** 
  • John 3:16  -  the gift is not perishing but having everlasting life
  • Ephesians 2:8-9  -  salvation is by grace through grace, the gift of God
How Do You Recieve the Gift?

  •  John 3:14-19  -  the Son of Man was lifted up on the cross; you get the gift by believing
    • *** What does it mean to believe? (See Romans 10:9-10) ***
  • Romans 10:9-10  -  confess and believe with your heart and you shall be saved; with the heart you believe and with the mouth confession is made
  • Acts 2:38  -  repent and be baptized and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost
    • *** Study: Does Baptism save you? *** 
  • Romans 5:8-12,17  -  while we were yet sinners Christ died for us; justified by blood, saved from wrath; reconciled through death; saved by his life; gift of righteousness through his life, death, and resurrection
    • *** What is mercy and grace? ***
Who Will or Will Not Receive the Gift?
  • 2 John 7  -  those who confess not the Jesus has come in the flesh are deceivers, antichrists, and will not receive the gift
  • 1 John 4:1-3,14,15  -  every spirit that confesses Christ is of God; Jesus is the savior of the world; God dwells in those who confess Jesus
  • Revelation 21:8  -  if you take part in the second death you have not received the gift
  • Revelation 20:10,14,15  -  the second death; you will receive the gift if your name is written in the Lamb's book of life
    • *** What is the "second death"? ***

Don't Be Naked! - Loins Girt with Truth

The Whole Armor of God This Week: Loins Girt with Truth Click image to enlarge. Sunday, October 14, 2012 Led by Eric Gintert Ephesians 6:10-18 The Whole Armor of God is meant to protect us, that we may be able to stand against the powers and principalities that come against us. What are the Loins Girt about with Truth for? The loins help you to stand. They give you support to stand. They help you to get up when you've fallen. John 8:31-32 The truth makes you free and you'll know His disciples because they continue in His Word. John 14:6 Jesus is the  way, the  truth, and the  life. He is NOT a  way, a  truth, or a  life. Hebrews 13:8-9 The truth of Jesus does not change. Don't be carried away with diverse and strange doctrines. The truth is being trodden down in our day and age. He did not leave us blind in the Word.  How much are we putting our trust in the Lord? We must put on the truth so we're not carried away with fa

Don't Be Naked! - The Breastplate

The Whole Armor of God This Week: The Breastplate Click image to enlarge. Sunday, September 30, 2012 Led by Eric Gintert Ephesians 6:10-18 The Whole Armor of God Isaiah 59:16-17 This is what God wants us to be clothed with... the very thing He clothed His Son with! Ephesians 6:14 The breastplate protects the heart and desires. 1 Thessalonians 5:4-9 Your heart represents your desires. Are you desiring your own righteousness or His righteousness? Jude 3 says, "...   ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints" yet we're doing the same things as the world. We say that we have our armor on, but really, we're sleeping.

Freaking out in Times of Peace

Sunday, June 24, 2012 Led by Eric Gintert Encouragement from the Lord that He is our rock and fortress, He is our peace in the storm... so stop FREAKING OUT! :-) Psalm 3:1-8 The enemy is not necessarily people coming against him, but powers and principalities (spiritual warfare). The battle is often in the mind with doubt, depression, etc. This is why we are commanded not to be fearful of the one who destroys the body, but the one who destroys the soul and body in hell. (Matthew 10:28) David knew that God was his shield and strong tower, his protector. Matthew 8:23-27 In the midst of the storm, Jesus was sleeping in the bottom of the boat. Even when everyone else was freaking out, Jesus was at peace. Peace was right their in the ship with them, and they were freaking out! Jesus rebuked them saying, "Why are ye fearful, o ye of little faith?" Prayer Requests Fields Family  -  house to rent Joel F. mom & dad  -  mom going through 4 surgery in last
