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 false doctrine.
2 Timothy 2:15
  • This is how we will not be carried away with bad doctrine. Rightly dividing the word of truth; Satan wrongly divides the word of truth.
Ephesians 4:2--15
  • Be not children tossed to and fro, carried about with every wind of doctrine. But speak the truth in Love.
  • Be careful what you teach children, they soak it up and are tossed to and fro. 
"And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea." Mark 9:42
1 Corinthians 10:12

  • Be careful when you stand lest you fall. Jesus is the one putting the garment on us and we must stand in Him.
1 John 5:18-20
  • "This is the true God." Does it bother you that your Bible collects dust all week until Sunday? Keep (guard and protect) the Truth! Pray that He (the truth) will guard and protect us.
Do we trust the Word of God as truth? If so, do we study, ask God, seek, etc?

Do we live for Truth or Emotionalism?

The founder and CEO of Hobby Lobby, a Christian family owned business, has been forced to file a lawsuit to stand for truth. The new healthcare laws will mandate Hobby Lobby to provide, without co-pay, the "morning after pill" and "week after pill" in their health insurance plan, or face crippling fines up to 1.3 million dollars per day. 
"We simply cannot abandon our religious beliefs and comply with this mandate. We know that we have been blessed by God's grace and believe it is because we have chosen to live our lives and to operate our business according to His Word and we are very grateful for that. But our faith is being challenged by the federal government." - David Green, Hobby Lobby founder & CEO

It's not about "What Would Jesus Do?" it's " What DID Jesus Do?" He is truth and gave and example for us.

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...
