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 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).

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
