2 Peter 3:1-18 
  • The word of God is the trumpet... the wake-up call. We are the ones called to carry it.
  • If the things we are seeing in these latter times are not getting to you, something is wrong with you. It's unrighteousness and it should get to you.
  • 1 Peter 1:20  -  The scripture is of no private interpretation. He's not going to reveal one thing to another and something different to someone else. Or only to certain people and not others who are truly seeking Him.
  • We are to be looking for and hasting unto the day of the Lord.
  • We are to be diligent that we be found in peace, without spot, and blameless.
  • We are to be growing in grace and in the knowledge of Jesus Christ.
Revelation 16:1-21
  • God doesn't want to pour His wrath on anyone. It is His will that all would come to repentance and everlasting life
  • For those who think that God isn't being fair, even after all the pain and suffering, the evil people still will not repent.
This is what is set for those who are not born again and never repent of their sins. Does this not encourage you to do what 2 Peter 3 says we should be doing? We need to be diligent and growing in grace and steadfastness so that we won't fall.

We are all guilty and deserve Revelation 16, but God doesn't want that for anyone. God made a way called grace that through Jesus, we could be saved from His wrath.

Ephesians 6:10-20
  • We need to be strong in His might, not our own. He has called us to stand! Above all, we need to take up the shield of faith which quenches the fiery darts of the wicked.

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.

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
