Obedience

 Sunday, September 25, 2011
 Led by Eric Gintert
  • Romans 5:17  -  Sin came into the world by one man's disobedience (Adam) but many are made righteous by one man's obedience (Jesus)
    • See 1 Corinthians 15:45-46
    • See Proverbs 22:6... a child doesn't have to be taught how to be disobedient, he must be taught how to be obedient
  • Philippians 2:5-8  -  This is the very thing that got Jesus in trouble with the world. (See John 1:46) Jesus never sought recognition, in fact, He told people not to say anything about miracles He had done for them. (See Mark 5:38-43) Jesus took the form of a servant and humbled Himself and became obedient unto death. (Matthew 26:39) Jesus came to do the will of His Father in Heaven.
  • Hebrews 5:5-9  -  Christ glorified not Himself; He did not come for a title... High Priest, Pastor, Youth Director, etc.
  • John 14:23  -  To keep means to stay, guard, and protect. We are commanded to protect and guard God's Words “if” we love God.
    • See John 18:1-11... Peter desired to guard and protect Jesus in the garden. We should have this same love of the Father to guard His Word in our hearts.
  •  2 John 6  -  The definition of love is that we walk after God's commandments (His Word).
  • Ephesians 6:11-17  -  Put on the whole armor of God that ye may be protected by God from the wiles of the Devil. We are to protect ourselves with the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.
    • Remember that if the world hates you, it hated Jesus first. See John 15:18.
  •  John 15:7  -  When we're obedient unto the Lord, He will give us as we have asked according to His will.
  • Romans 12:1-2  -  We are to present our bodies as a living sacrifice, which is our reasonable service.

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...

The 10 Most Overlooked People in Your Church

Photo credit: https://careynieuwhof.com/8-reasons-most-churches-never-break-the-200-attendance-mark/ This post is in response to the original article by Anne Peterson. Her post on crosswalk.com can be found here: http://www.crosswalk.com/slideshows/the-10-most-overlooked-people-in-your-church.html?p=2 1. Single People It’s hard to believe that most churches overlook this group of people. In my opinion, this is probably the most regarded group. With churches forming so many “ group” activities, this ranks highest with singles groups, youth groups, teen groups, bible study groups, etc.  The author quotes no scripture here for biblical reference for the single to be administered.   1 Cor. 7:24-40 - these verses deals with both the single unmarried as well as the divorced and single. Paul gives teaching how a man and woman who are born again should desire God first, then marriage, if at all. 2. People With Illnesses If you are not part of an asse...

Performance Based Christianity

Sunday, July 28, 2013 Led by Eric Gintert Ephesians 2:8-9 We are saved by grace , through faith , not of works... it's the gift of God. Ephesians 4:32 "forgiving one another" is in present tense; "hath forgiven you" is in past tense. Acts 8:35-37 Philip didn't have to "do" anything; it wasn't about a physical act or performance, all he must do is believe. Romans 6:1-23   Matthew 6:21 says your heart is where your  treasure is. Our heart is our thoughts and feelings. If you heart is one God, why would you want to purposely sin? God forbid. Jesus put sin to death ans sin is put to death in us when we receive His gift of forgiveness. We are not walking in the resurrection when we are dwelling on sin, digging a hole every time we fall instead of turning our eyes back to Jesus. Jesus isn't going to die again; He put sin to death once and for all on the cross. The sin is in the moral body (the flesh), not the spiri...
