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 ca...

The 10 Most Overlooked People in Your Church

Photo credit: https://careynieuwhof.com/8-reasons-most-churches-never-break-the-200-attendance-mark/ This post is in response to the original article by Anne Peterson. Her post on crosswalk.com can be found here: http://www.crosswalk.com/slideshows/the-10-most-overlooked-people-in-your-church.html?p=2 1. Single People It’s hard to believe that most churches overlook this group of people. In my opinion, this is probably the most regarded group. With churches forming so many “ group” activities, this ranks highest with singles groups, youth groups, teen groups, bible study groups, etc.  The author quotes no scripture here for biblical reference for the single to be administered.   1 Cor. 7:24-40 - these verses deals with both the single unmarried as well as the divorced and single. Paul gives teaching how a man and woman who are born again should desire God first, then marriage, if at all. 2. People With Illnesses If you are not part of an asse...

Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus: Darkness

Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus This Week: Darkness Sunday, November 4, 2012 Led by Eric Gintert Who is Jesus to You? Savior? What does that mean? Savior from what? Lord? What does that mean? What does it mean to be Lord? We need to be lightened! Psalm 34:1-5 "They" (in verse 5) are the humble who want to exalt the name of the Lord. "Him" is the Lord. They looked unto the Lord and they were lightened and not ashamed. On judgment day, some will look on Him and be ashamed but others will be able to stand before Him completely unashamed and justified. Are we asking and seeking to be lightened by Him in all issues: politics, relationships, etc? Darkness came before Light... Genesis 1:1-2 Before there was light, there was darkness. Before we can know and understand the great mercy and grace that the Lord has given us, we must first understand all the filth, guile, wickedness, and sin that we have taken part in. We must understa...
