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
  • Romans 12:1  -  present your bodies a living sacrifice which is your reasonable service
  • Philippians 3:8-9  -  Paul sacrificed everything for Christ Jesus
  • Matthew 19:29  -  forsake everyone for Jesus and you shall receive one hundred fold
    • *** What does Jesus' sacrifice mean to you? ***

    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...

    "Good Works Salvation"

    Sunday, June 12, 2011 Led by Eric Gintert Begin by reading James 2 and then we will discuss if out works are good enough to get to heaven. The Rich Young Ruler Matthew 19:16-26  -  The young rich man asked "what good thing [work] shall I do ?"; he wanted to know how to go to heaven; Jesus gave all the commandments regarding how we should treat others and the young rich man proclaimed that he had kept all these things... he'd done good to others (he was a "good person"). But Jesus told him that to be perfect (meaning complete) he needed to "come and follow me [Jesus] "... God works aren't enough; the young man was so sorrowful when he walked away because he had just rejected the Holy Ghost; it is hard for a rich man to enter heaven... we are all rich; It is impossible for a rich man to enter heaven based on his own "good works" but it is possible to enter heaven with God Mark 10:17-21  -  The young rich man ran and kneeled before Jesus...
