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...

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...

Cleansing the Leper

Sunday, January 8, 2011 Led by Eric Gintert Matthew 8:1-4 (also in Mark 1:40-44 and Luke 5:12-14)  -  Why did Jesus, being the way, the truth, and the life, tell the cleansed leper to go back to the priest according to the law in which Jesus was here to fulfill? Leviticus 13:1-8, 32-34, 43-46  -  According to the law, when a man had leprosy he had to go before the priest who would check on him every seven days to see whether he was clean or unclean according to the signs of the disease. Leviticus 14:1-11  -  If the priest found the man was clean from his leprosy, a sacrifice was to be made. A bird was to be killed in an earthen vessel over running water.  Jesus wanted the man to show the priest what He had done for the leper. The priest was supposed to come the the leper and pronounce him clean but instead the man went to the priest to show that he was clean, not only physically but also spiritually. Jesus was the earthen vessel... G...
