Being Giddy Again

Sunday, August 26, 2012
Led by Eric Gintert

(Click to listen to audio from our service)

Deuteronomy 6:5-9
  • Parents are held highly accountable to raise their children in this commandment... that's how important it is!
  • It is our continual duty to love God with all our heart, soul and might.
  • It didn't say "love God with all your prayers all the day long" but to love Him with all your heart.
  • Loving Him is not a textbook... it's in your heart because you want to do it.
  • To be holy is to love God with all your heart, soul, and might.
  • We need to "live on the love of God".
1 Thessalonians 5:17

  • "Pray without ceasing."  -  don't stop praying!
  • How would we do anything if we are always on our knees with hands folded?
  • Prayer is communication with God at all times.
He wants us to return to the time when we were "giddy" for Him in the beginning when we were first saved.

Revelation 2:1-5
  • We can do many great things (works), but He can still have something against us... we've left our first love. 
  • Our desire isn't there, we're doing it as works (to look good) but we're not communicating with God to seek His will. 
  • We need to repent and return to the first works of seeking God.
Luke 2:40-50
  • They wouldn't have forgotten Jesus if they would have kept their eyes fixed on Him.
  • Why did it take 3 days to find Him instead of 2 days? They weren't looking in the right place.
Jeremiah 29:11-13
  • God wants to give us peace but we must seek Him until we find Him.

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...

Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus: Darkness

Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus This Week: Darkness Sunday, November 4, 2012 Led by Eric Gintert Who is Jesus to You? Savior? What does that mean? Savior from what? Lord? What does that mean? What does it mean to be Lord? We need to be lightened! Psalm 34:1-5 "They" (in verse 5) are the humble who want to exalt the name of the Lord. "Him" is the Lord. They looked unto the Lord and they were lightened and not ashamed. On judgment day, some will look on Him and be ashamed but others will be able to stand before Him completely unashamed and justified. Are we asking and seeking to be lightened by Him in all issues: politics, relationships, etc? Darkness came before Light... Genesis 1:1-2 Before there was light, there was darkness. Before we can know and understand the great mercy and grace that the Lord has given us, we must first understand all the filth, guile, wickedness, and sin that we have taken part in. We must understa...

Cleansing the Leper

Sunday, January 8, 2011 Led by Eric Gintert Matthew 8:1-4 (also in Mark 1:40-44 and Luke 5:12-14)  -  Why did Jesus, being the way, the truth, and the life, tell the cleansed leper to go back to the priest according to the law in which Jesus was here to fulfill? Leviticus 13:1-8, 32-34, 43-46  -  According to the law, when a man had leprosy he had to go before the priest who would check on him every seven days to see whether he was clean or unclean according to the signs of the disease. Leviticus 14:1-11  -  If the priest found the man was clean from his leprosy, a sacrifice was to be made. A bird was to be killed in an earthen vessel over running water.  Jesus wanted the man to show the priest what He had done for the leper. The priest was supposed to come the the leper and pronounce him clean but instead the man went to the priest to show that he was clean, not only physically but also spiritually. Jesus was the earthen vessel... G...
