Sacrifice

Sunday, December 5, 2010
Led by Dennis Jeffries
  • Zephaniah 1:7-8  -  "bid his guests" = gave them an invitation to come to Jesus; "strange apparel" = spiritual, no blood of Jesus on them; good works
    • *** What are examples of "good works"? ***
  • Matthew 22:1-14  -  many receive the invitation but few are chosen; those who don't have a wedding garment will be cast to hell
  • Isaiah 53:1-11  -  most pictures of Jesus show a very handsome and attractive man but scripture says differently; Jesus was our offering for sin 
  • 2 Peter 1:4-11  -  need to remember so we don't forget that we have been purged from the old man and how that happened 
    • *** What can we sacrifice for Him? ***
  • Hebrews 9:1-28  -  the tabernacle is now our body; High Priest is now Jesus
Sacrifices we need to make for Him...
  • Hebrews 13:15-16  -  sacrifice of praise to God continually (using Jesus' name); doing good and communicating are sacrifices that God is pleased with
  • Psalm 51:17  -  sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; broken meaning how a horse is broke in or trained to do the master's will and not his own will

    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. William Booth's Breastplate of Righteousness William Booth, founder of the Salvation Army, was not concerned with thrift stores, food lines, and raising money (while all this is a good work and nothing is wrong with the cause). He guarded his heart by having a conc

    For the Love of Money...

    Sunday, December 11, 2011 Led by Eric Gintert "For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows." 1 Timothy 6:10 1 Timothy 6:1-21  -  We are commanded to be content with food and raiment... These are our only requirements for life, everything else is extra. The rich have much temptation and snares because of there riches. It is important to note the the scripture states that the love of money is the root of all evil. Money in it's self is not evil. It's the love of money that is evil. Money is also the root of all evil. Much evil starts from an issue of money. We are commanded to love God with all our heart, soul, and mind but we cannot do this is our first love is money. See Matthew 19:23-26, Matthew 6:24, and Matthew 22:37 Exodus 20:3-17  -  We can look at just the ten commandments, God's Law, and see where money is oftentimes at the
