HOW to Love One Another

Sunday, April 15, 2012
Led by Eric Gintert

  • 1 Corinthians 14:40  -  Do all things decently and in order
  • Matthew 22:36-40  -  The 10 commandments are summed up in these two commandments. If you don't love God, you cannot love man. The second commandment is like unto the first, it is not the same. You must do it decently and in order. You cannot learn to love your enemies until you first love God. Love God first, then love man like God but not as God.
  • Matthew 4:18-22  -  When Jesus called his apostles they had to drop their business and their family to follow a man they barely knew. They loved Jesus with their heart by putting him first. Jesus then taught them how to love others.
  • 1 Corinthians 13:1-3  -  Look at how much Paul loved God that he could love his neighbors. Paul was saying that if he didn't love God first, he couldn't do all these things.
charity = Strong's Greek #26: (agape) love, affection or benevolence
affection = 1941 Webster: disposition of mind, feelings toward others, attitude
benevolence = 1941 Webster: to love mankind, to do good, promote
love = Strong's Greek #25: to love or be loved in moral or social sense

Satan loves to be a mirror, he imitates. That's what makes him so cunning. People want to love their neighbor and then love God, but that's opposite of what scripture teaches.
  • 1 Corinthians 13:4-8  -  Read these verses replacing the word charity with your own name and see if it fits. Now we know why we need to love God so much more because on our own we cannot love others... we must first love Him!
  • Numbers 24:13  -  We cannot go beyond the word of the Lord to do good or bad... we must love God first.

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
