What If You Knew Tomorrow Would Be Your Last?

Sunday, April 1, 2012
Led by Eric Gintert
If you were told today that your life will be over by the time you wake up tomorrow, what would you do? What now would your cares and worries be? Would you care about your job, flues and colds, money, etc?

  • Acts 5:1-11  -  Ananias and Sapphira didn't have to give any money, but instead they lied saying they gave all they had... they kept some back for themselves. They we're trying to fit in with everyone else who were giving with their heart.
    • If they would have known that the sin they were about to commit would cost them their lives, would they have done it?
  • Luke 12:13-21  -  This man did all he could to gain from this world. God took his breath to prove that none of the earthly possessions will profit us if we lose our soul.
    • If this man would have known that his life would be required of him for all his greed, would he have continued to gather from the world's riches?
  • Mark 14:32-36  -  Jesus, knowing that that His time on earth was short, didn't try to "live it up" but knelt before His Father in prayer and supplication.
  • 1 Samuel 28:7-20  -  Because of king Saul's disobedience, God told him that his life was to be taken the next day. After receiving this news, Saul wept... but it doesn't say the he ever sought God.
  • Isaiah 38:1-6  -  King Hezekiah was also told that his life was going to be taken, but he sought the Lord and prayed and God added 15 years to his life.
  • Psalm 90.12  -  Lord, teach us to number our days!
  • James 4:13-15  -  Our life is but a vapor and we should never take for granted that we will have a next day. Instead we should say "if the Lord wills" we will have another day. He holds our lives in the palm of His hand.

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...

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...

Is There Oil in Your Lamp?

Sunday, March 14, 2012 Led by Eric Gintert Matthew 25:1-13 The lamp represents your heart. The oil represents the Holy Spirit. When the virgins heard the announcement that the bridegroom was come, they were excited. Unfortunately only five of them were prepared. For the five foolish virgins, their fire went out when nothing exciting was happening. Then, when the excitement came, they didn't have enough oil to get the fire started again.  The five wise virgins knew that they couldn't give the oil (Holy Spirit) to the other women. You can live your life however you want, like the foolish virgins did, and expect to get right with God at the end of your life after you've done everything you wanted first. It's too late at that point because the door was shut. Matthew 24:36-39 The last days will be like it was in the days of Noah. Evil imaginations in the heart of man was (and now is) rampant on earth. Genesis 7:1,16 God called Noah and his family int...
