Love One Another

Sunday, June 5, 2011
Led by Eric Gintert
  • Romans 13:8-10 love one another
  • Matthew 22:35-40  -  1st commandment: Love God with all your heart, soul, and mind. 2nd commandment: Love your neighbor as yourself. These sum up the whole law and all the prophets.
  • Exodus 20:3-17  -  The Ten Commandments, a.k.a. the law. Commandments 1-4 are the same as "Love God with all your heart, soul, and mind" and commandments 5-10 are the same as "Love your neighbor as yourself".
  • Matthew 7:12  -  do to others as you would have them do to you; this sums up the law and the prophets
  • Galatians 5:13-16  -  By love, serve one another; you might have to tell one anther some hard things but make sure that it's out of love and not to bite and devour one another, being consumed of each other.
  • John 5:12  -  love one another as Jesus has loved you
  • 1 John 4:20-21  -  you can't love God and hate your brother; how can you not love someone who you can see but love the One you cannot see
  •  Luke 6:27-38  -  Love your enemies and them that use you; it's nothing special to love those that love you; give to your enemies expecting nothing in return; judging is the way you treat a person based on what you know about them... it's passing sentence on them like a judge in a courtroom.
Examples
  • Luke 10:25-37  -  The Good Samaritan - the "religious" people judged the Samaritan based on his out ward appearance but the Samaritan loved his neighbor by helping the wounded man
  • Matthew 18:23-35  -  The King and his Servant - an example of forgiving your brother his trespasses knowing that we are all guilty. Did the king love the servant? How? Which time? Did the servant love the king? With his heart or with his lips? Did the servant love others?
  • Luke 15:11-32  -  The Prodigal Son - Did the father love both sons? Did the one brother love the other brother who had gone astray?
Applications
  • What is one of the greatest ways God shows (displays) His love towards us? Forgiveness (read Ephesisans 4:32) See Acts 5:31, Acts 13:38, Acts 26:18, Ephesisans 1:7, Colossians 1:14, 1 John 1:9, Luke 11:4, Matthew 2:12, 14
  • How many times did Jesus teach us to forgive each other? See Matthew 18:21-22
  • Remember our own sins first and then consider how to treat others knowing Jesus paid the price/suffered for our sins and the sins of others

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. William Booth's Breastplate of Righteousness William Booth, founder of the Salvation Army, was not concerned with thrift stores, food lines, and raising money (while all this is a good work and nothing is wrong with the cause).

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
