Being in Remembrance & Awaking Out of Sleep

Sunday, November 21, 2010
Led by Eric Gintert

Remembering the Land that the Lord has Brought You out of:
  • Psalm 90:12  -  As evidenced by the prayer requests (below) many people have cancers and illnesses where the doctors predict death. Therefore we need to ask the Lord to teach us to number our days that we might apply our hearts to wisdom. May we remember what the Lord has done for us and become better servants to Him because of his marvelous works.
    • *** Read James 4:14 ***
  • Psalm 23  -  Sometimes we have to endure "the valley of the shadow of death", or the remembrance of the old man, that we might be encouraged. Fearing no evil doesn't mean to not be afraid of the evil, but that we won't serve the evil when we are in that valley. Our enemies are those who don't serve God, even though they may be "good people".
  • Revelation 2:4-5  -  When you're in a slump and feeling low, go back to your First Love and the first works God did in you to remember who wonderful He is.
Awake and Be Ready for the Lord:
  • Romans 13:8-14  -  We need to love one another and awake out of sleep for our salvation is nearer than we think. We need to "put on the Lord Jesus Christ" by being in prayer with him and making no provision for the flesh to fulfill our lusts.
    • *** What is Love? See 2 John 6 ***
  • Daniel 12:1  -  Be ready because a time of trouble is coming that will be like nothing that ever was.
  • 2 Thessalonians 2:3  -  do not be deceived because there will be a falling away... which is already happening right now
  • 1 Timothy 4:1,3  -  some will, and already are, falling away from the faith; every 4 in 10 people believe marriage is not necessary, they are "forbidding to marry".
  • Matthew 24:11-12  -  the love of man has waxed cold
  • 2 Timothy 3:12-15  -  encouragement to continue in the things which you have learned
  • Daniel 11:28, 31  -  the daily sacrifice will be and has been taken away
    • *** What is the "daily sacrifice"? ***

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
