Jesus Understands Our Infirmities

Sunday, March 27, 2011
Led by Dennis Jeffries

Jesus has experienced everything we've ever been through, and more so. He understands our feelings and knows what it's like.
  • Hebrews 2:16-18  -  Jesus took on flesh and blood and was made like his brethren; he brings hope and comfort to those suffering with temptation
  • Philippians 2:5-6  -  Jesus didn't think it was robbery to be equal with God (he wasn't taking anything away from God because he was God)
    • *** See John 10:24, John 1:1,14 ***
  • John 5:18  -  the Jews wanted to kill Jesus because he proclaimed to be equal with God
    • *** See John 15:18-19 ***
  • Philippians 2:7  -  Jesus was in the likeness of man
  • Isaiah 53:2-5  -  He knows how we feel in every situation we're in; he was a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief... therefore he understands our griefs and sorrows
  • Galatians 4:4-5  -  Jesus was flesh (made of a woman) and was subjected to temptation just as we are, but he resisted
  • Philippians 2:8  -  Jesus was found in fashion as a man; he humbled himself and became obedient unto death
    • *** See Luke 22:39-46 ***
  • Hebrews 4:14-16  -  Jesus was not one who couldn't be touched with the feelings of our infirmities but he was tempted as we are; come boldly to God in prayer that we may obtain mercy and find grace in time of need
  • Hebrews 5:1-6  -  a high priest is ordained for men and is himself compassed with infirmity; he can't take honor to himself; Jesus was called by God
    • *** See Exodus 28:1, Numbers 16:5, and Psalm 110:4  regarding Aaron and Melchisedec ***

Maybe you will want to put a twitter icon to your site. Just bookmarked the article, although I must do it by hand. Simply my 2 cents.

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...

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...

Is There Oil in Your Lamp?

Sunday, March 14, 2012 Led by Eric Gintert Matthew 25:1-13 The lamp represents your heart. The oil represents the Holy Spirit. When the virgins heard the announcement that the bridegroom was come, they were excited. Unfortunately only five of them were prepared. For the five foolish virgins, their fire went out when nothing exciting was happening. Then, when the excitement came, they didn't have enough oil to get the fire started again.  The five wise virgins knew that they couldn't give the oil (Holy Spirit) to the other women. You can live your life however you want, like the foolish virgins did, and expect to get right with God at the end of your life after you've done everything you wanted first. It's too late at that point because the door was shut. Matthew 24:36-39 The last days will be like it was in the days of Noah. Evil imaginations in the heart of man was (and now is) rampant on earth. Genesis 7:1,16 God called Noah and his family int...
