Letting the Word of Christ Dwell in You Richly

Sunday, March 6, 2011
Led by Eric Gintert
"Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord." Colossians 3:16
  • 2 Thessalonians 2:1-3  -  if you put your faith in the Word you will be tried but don't be troubled or shaken
    • *** Think of the Word of God as the "last will and testament" of a loved one. Usually, that last will of a loved one who has passed away is held as precious to that family members who read it and the family has a desire to fulfill their loved one's will. The Word of God should be the same way, with a desire to fulfill God's will. ***
  • John 1:1,14  -  The Word is God and the Word became flesh... which is Jesus.
  • 1 John 5:7  -  the Father, Word (Jesus), and Holy Ghost are one
  • Revelation 19:13  -  Jesus is called the Word of God
  • Hosea 4:1-6  -  Because the people have no desire, no heart, for truth (the Word) there is no mercy or knowledge of God and the people are destroyed
    • *** Today we have church buildings with no truth (the Word) because many people don't have a heart to receive it and therefore they seek church buildings with itching ears to hear what they want to hear. (See 2 Timothy 4:3) ***
  • Hosea 7:2,13-14  -  their hearts are the problem and they have fled from God
  • 1 John 1:1-3  -  when the Word dwells in us we are blessed with fellowship with God and the brethren
  • John 17:14-17  -  If the world hates you it's because the Word has changed you; the Word is truth and it sanctifies you (sets you apart) as one who follows God
    • *** Examine yourself: Does the world hate you? Why? ***
  •  Isaiah 66:1-5  -  So called Christians will come against you but you will have joy and they will be ashamed
  • Psalm 119:9-16  -  take heed to the Word with your whole heart; you will not forget His Word
  • Proverbs 2:1-6  -  we should have a passion and desire to seek as we would search for a hidden treasure, then you will understand and have knowledge
  • Proverbs 4:1-5  -  we need to retain his Words in our heart; the word get means there is action involved
    • *** See Proverbs 6:6, you have to make effort ***
  • Proverbs 8:1-11  -  God's Word is precious

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...

Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus: Darkness

Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus This Week: Darkness Sunday, November 4, 2012 Led by Eric Gintert Who is Jesus to You? Savior? What does that mean? Savior from what? Lord? What does that mean? What does it mean to be Lord? We need to be lightened! Psalm 34:1-5 "They" (in verse 5) are the humble who want to exalt the name of the Lord. "Him" is the Lord. They looked unto the Lord and they were lightened and not ashamed. On judgment day, some will look on Him and be ashamed but others will be able to stand before Him completely unashamed and justified. Are we asking and seeking to be lightened by Him in all issues: politics, relationships, etc? Darkness came before Light... Genesis 1:1-2 Before there was light, there was darkness. Before we can know and understand the great mercy and grace that the Lord has given us, we must first understand all the filth, guile, wickedness, and sin that we have taken part in. We must understa...

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...
