A Reminder for Satan

Sunday, September 4, 2011
Led by Eric Gintert
  • Psalm 118:24  -  When we're going through trials and temptations, we need to be reminded that we're children of God and that He loves us more than everything that He created. Then we need to remind Satan the very same thing! If Satan doesn't have you doubting your salvation does he have you doubting something else? Knowing that God has given us this day, let us not put our worries on everything but rejoice in Him that He has so blessed us. Rejoicing in the blessings of Lord instead of dwelling on ourselves.
  • James 1:1-5  -  Count it joy when you fall (meaning to be surrounded with) diverse (many) temptations. When you mess up, shake the dust from your feet and move forward (Matthew 10:14) The trying of our faith works patience in us. And if you lack, then ask of God and He will give it to you.
  • James 4:6-10  -  When your not feeling encouraged in the Lord of on fire for God an Satan beats up for it, remind Satan that you are a child of God! Resist the Devil, humble yourself before God and submit to Him, an Satan will flee from you. God resists the proud and gives grace to the humble. Go to God, cleanse your hearts and purify your minds... don't crawl in to the fox hole and listen to Satan tell you how filthy and dirty you are... but crawl to God and let Him cleanse you.
  • 1 Corinthians 10:11-13  -  God will not allow you to be tempted more than you are able to endure. He will make a way to escape the temptation. There is no temptation that other people have already been through.
  • 2 Peter 2:9  -  Remind Satan how that God knows how to deliver His people out of temptations
  • Luke 10:18-19  -  Remind Satan how God gives us the power to endure that nothing shall by any means hurt us.
  • 1 John 1:8-10  -  Remind Satan that God is faithful and just to forgive us our sin and cleanse us!
Read Psalm 34 for encouragement this week!

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...
