The Law & Grace

Sunday, July 15, 2012
 Led by Eric Gintert

Romans 6:1-23
  • vs. 1  -  A changed heart has no intentional desire for sin. They have a new relationship with sin... brokenness.
    • Some get lost so far in grace, grace, grace that they forget about their sin and repentance.
    • If you have no conviction when you see or do sin, you've become immune to sin and need to examine yourself.
  • vs. 2  -  This doesn't mean we no longer sin.
    • Peter sinned but wept bitterly.
    • It's not about who I sinned against in the flesh but sinning against God.
    • vs. 3-4  -  You'll have a newness of life; if this newness is from you, it'll wear off
    • vs. 5-11  -  Being dead from sin yet alive in Christ
  • 1 John 1:8-10  -  We make him a lair if we say we have no sin; He is faithful to cleanse us from all unrighteousness
  • vs. 12  -  We are serving self by obeying the lusts of the flesh
  • vs. 14-15  -  So it's okay to sin then, right? GOD FORBID!!!!! 
Be thankful that God is not Hitler, Fidel Castro, or Mahmoud Ahmadinejad - He's not a dictator to His people!

Romans 7:1-25 
  • vs. 1-4  -  We were once married to sin (self) but now were married to Christ. We were one with Christ but left Him to love sin, becoming an adulterer.
If you're living for sin, you'll see the fruit of sin. If you're living for Christ, you'll see the fruit of Christ.
  • vs. 15-17  -  For the new man, he faces the battle of sinning and doing the things he ought not.
  • vs. 24  -  Oh wretched man that I AM; not WAS.
  • vs. 25  -  The mind wants to serve the law of God but the flesh wants to serve the law of sin.
 1 John 2:1-2  -  These written that sin not. But Jesus is our advocate and propitiation.

Prayer Requests

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...

The 10 Most Overlooked People in Your Church

Photo credit: https://careynieuwhof.com/8-reasons-most-churches-never-break-the-200-attendance-mark/ This post is in response to the original article by Anne Peterson. Her post on crosswalk.com can be found here: http://www.crosswalk.com/slideshows/the-10-most-overlooked-people-in-your-church.html?p=2 1. Single People It’s hard to believe that most churches overlook this group of people. In my opinion, this is probably the most regarded group. With churches forming so many “ group” activities, this ranks highest with singles groups, youth groups, teen groups, bible study groups, etc.  The author quotes no scripture here for biblical reference for the single to be administered.   1 Cor. 7:24-40 - these verses deals with both the single unmarried as well as the divorced and single. Paul gives teaching how a man and woman who are born again should desire God first, then marriage, if at all. 2. People With Illnesses If you are not part of an asse...

Performance Based Christianity

Sunday, July 28, 2013 Led by Eric Gintert Ephesians 2:8-9 We are saved by grace , through faith , not of works... it's the gift of God. Ephesians 4:32 "forgiving one another" is in present tense; "hath forgiven you" is in past tense. Acts 8:35-37 Philip didn't have to "do" anything; it wasn't about a physical act or performance, all he must do is believe. Romans 6:1-23   Matthew 6:21 says your heart is where your  treasure is. Our heart is our thoughts and feelings. If you heart is one God, why would you want to purposely sin? God forbid. Jesus put sin to death ans sin is put to death in us when we receive His gift of forgiveness. We are not walking in the resurrection when we are dwelling on sin, digging a hole every time we fall instead of turning our eyes back to Jesus. Jesus isn't going to die again; He put sin to death once and for all on the cross. The sin is in the moral body (the flesh), not the spiri...
