The Counsel of God

Sunday, March 13, 2011
Led by Dennis Jeffries
Are you receiving the counsel of the world or the counsel of God in your life? 
  • Proverbs 15:22  -  plans are disappointed when there is no counsel
    • *** Note: "counsel" means intimate consultation (i.e. with God in prayer) and "purposes" means plans ***
  • Proverbs 20:18  -  every plan is established by some kind of counsel (whether of the world or of God); make war with Satan when you receive good counsel
  • Deuteronomy 32:28-29  -  the United States is void of the counsel of God and we need to consider our later end
    • *** See Matthew 6:24 ***
  • Psalm 1:1  -  you are blessed if you don't seek counsel from the ungodly
  • Psalm 33:11  -  God's counsel stands forever 
    • *** He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. See Hebrews 13:8 ***
  • Isaiah 46:9-11  -  God's counsel shall last; you can't stop what God has planned
  • Psalm 55:14  -  we took sweet counsel (fellowship) together (in a oneness)
  • Proverbs 11:14  -  you will fall when there is no counsel; there is safety in a multitude of counsellors
  • Isaiah 40:13-14  -  If you are looking for a pastor make sure to ask who they took counsel from and who where they taught by. If they answer anything other than "God" then they are not the pastor you want.
  • Jeremiah 23:16-22  -  harken not unto those who only speak what they want; if they would have sought God's counsel they would have turned from their evil
  • Acts 20:26-28  -  Paul didn't shun from declaring the counsel of God.

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
