A "Second Opinion"

 Sunday, June 10, 2012
Led by Eric Gintert

Am I being drawn toward Jesus? If not, Why? Are we not liking what He has to say and therefore seeking a "second onpinion"?
John 8:1-59
  • Jesus fought with the Sword of the Spirit (which is the Word of God... Ephesians 6:17) He didn't condemn or judge, he used truth and pricked the heart.
  • The Pharisees said Jesus was proud and stuck-up, but Jesus only spoke and did what God called Him to do. 
  • They didn't like what Jesus said so they wanted a "second opinion". They kept trying to back Jesus into a corner but couldn't... He always spoke truth.
  • Jesus said if they didn't believe what He said then they wouldn't believe God. The Pharisees said they knew God, but they were staring him in the face and didn't even know Him.
  • Jesus only ever spoke the things that God gave Him. 
  • Jesus didn't take those who claimed to believe at their word. He said they would continue in His Word if they were truly born again!
  • They may have been of the lineage of Abraham, but Jesus said that if they truly were sons of Abraham, they would have known Him. The Pharisees did the works of their father, the Devil.
How frustrated Jesus must have been, that after speaking nothing but Truth, they still didn't believe. They wouldn't hear Him because they were the sons of Satan. Jesus never sought his own glory but the glory of the Father.

They didn't get that Jesus is God and was before Abraham. His name is I AM... Jesus and God are one!!!

The Pharisees, Saducees, and Scribes all worshiped the text of the books of Moses and didn't worship the true God.

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...
