The Mercy of God

Sunday, May 8, 2010
 Led by Eric Gintert

What is mercy? Mercy is God looking down and not letting great consequence come upon you because He see's repentance in you heart and a change in your actions.
  • 1 Peter 1:3-5  -  His abundant mercy is the only reason why we are granted these things; grace and forgiveness come out of the mercy of God.
  • Proverbs 28:13  -  he who confesses and forsakes his sin (repents) shall receive mercy
  • Titus 3:3-7  -  it was not according to our works of righteousness that we were saved but by his mercy; we are justified (declared righteous) by His grace
  • Genesis 19:15-16  -  God magnified His mercy in the life of Lot
  • Proverbs 21:21  -  those who follow after righteousness receive mercy
  • Luke 23:39-43  -  an example of mercy showing that even in great sin, a repentant  heart receives mercy
  • Psalm 86:1-17  -  David's prayer pleading for mercy from God; God is abundant and plenteous in mercy
  • Matthew 5:7  -  the merciful (compassionate) shall obtain mercy
  • Lamentations 3:1-66  -  it is because of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed; a spiritual rollercoaster
  • 1 Timothy 1:12-17  -  Paul obtained mercy because his sin was committed ignorantly in unbelief
Some things to think about for further study:  Who doesn't receive mercy? How to we "do" or show mercy to others?

Prayer Requests:
Aaron Coleman  -  hurt arm; job
Rachele Shelton  -  health issues
Larry Schultz  -  sister died; shoulder problems
Laurie and Bonnie  -  work for FEMA helping with recent disasters
Ray and Penny Walters  -  health issues and car problems

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
