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.
Prayer Requests
Lois S.  - sell house
Fields Family  -  sicknesses; Jacob's lip
Del M., Eric G., Carol G.  -  last week of work with current employer
Carol G.  -  salvation, job
Stephanie B.  -  meeting next week
Jasmine M.  -  surgery on Wednesday to remove teeth.

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...
