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
Prayer Requests

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 ...

Examples of Prayer from Those of Old

Sunday, August 7, 2011 Led by Eric Gintert We can learn a lot about prayer by reading what God's servants of old have prayed. "To pray is the greatest thing we can do: and to do it well there must be calmness, time, and deliberation; otherwise it is degraded into the littlest and meanest of things. True praying has the largest results for good; and poor praying, the least. We cannot do too much of real praying; we cannot do too little of the sham. We must learn anew the worth of prayer, enter anew the school of prayer. There is nothing which it takes more time to learn. And if we would learn the wondrous art, we must not give a fragment here and there -- "A little talk with Jesus," as the tiny saintlets sing -- but we must demand and hold with iron grasp the best hours of the day for God and prayer, or there will be no praying worth the name. This, however, is not a day of prayer. Few men there are who pray. Prayer is defamed by preacher and priest. In these days o...
