Soldiers of Christ

Sunday, May 27, 2012
Led by Eric Gintert
  • Hebrews 11:13-16  -  God ordained men, women, and children to fight the good fight of faith as strangers and pilgrims in this earth. God is not ashamed to be their God who look for the heavenly country and not the old country of sin and wickedness.
  • Hebrews 1:32-40  -  The promise they didn't receive was the faith which they held... the faith that a Redeemer would come, JESUS! The world was not worthy of those who they were persecuting. 
  • Hebrews 12:1  -  This is what Christ's soldiers allowed to go through so that we would be encouraged.
  • Hebrews 12:2-3  -  Jesus endured the mocking and trials for us.
  • John 15:13  -  Laying down your life does not just mean death. Jesus laid down His life for us every day that He was here on earth.
  • 1 John 3:15-17  -  The love of God was that He laid down His life for us. Jesus saw what we needed and gave himself daily for us. We lay down our life, not necessarily in death, but in serving.
  • 2 Timothy 2:1-4  -  We are called to be soldiers of Christ, not this world. Satan wants us to battle frivolous things and make us forget that the battle is for souls and salvation. We need to endure hardness as a soldier of Christ.
  • Revelation 6:9-11  -  John saw the slain soldiers of Christ who pleaded with God to know when God would have vengeance on those who persecuted them.
Read Joshua 24 for more encouragement to be a soldier of Christ.

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...
