Be Humble

Sunday, August 28, 2011
Led by Eric Gintert

To be humble means to bow down from your own righteousness and to weaken yourself.
  • Philippians 2:1-16  -  Jesus humbled himself in that He became obedient unto death. His objective was not to draw attention to Himself. Jesus didn't come to be ministered unto but to minister to others (Matthew 20:28). God humbled Himself in that he became a man and died for our sins.
    • Humbling yourself is saying, "Thy will be done and not my own" like Jesus did.
  • 1 Peter 5:1-9  -  One is not an elder because he is physically older... it has to do with spiritual age in Christ. Sometimes an older Christian who is a babe in Christ has to humble himself to be taught by a younger person who has known the Lord longer (an elder in Christ). The younger also has to humble themselves by asking for help from the elders.
  • James 4:5-10  -  When we humble ourselves God will lift us up, but we have to submit ourselves unto Him. We must draw near unto Him and He will draw near to us.
  • Exodus 10:3  -  God even want's His enemies to humble themselves.
  • Matthew 23:12  -  God will abase the proud and exalt the humble.
  • Matthew 18:1-5  -  To be born again you must humble yourselves as a little child.
  • 2 Chronicles 7:14  -  The first thing you must do is humble yourselves if you want forgiveness and healing.

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
