Being Giddy Again

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...

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...

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...
