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 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). He guarded his heart by having a conc

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
