Love thy Neighbor: Part 2


Sunday, January 27, 2013
Led by Eric Gintert



Review from Last Week

Mark 12:29-31
  • The first commandment is to love God. Then we are to love our neighbor.
  • We tend to put our neighbor before God.
  • How can we love our neighbor without loving God?
  • Just as in a husband / wife relationship, they are one flesh but sometimes love the children more than each other.
  • You can't truly love someone else before you love God.
2 John 1-7
  • Love is in truth. The Truth is Jesus (John 14:6).
  • Definition of Love: that we walk after His commandments.
  • His commandment is that we love Him with all our heart, mind, and should and them we love one another as ourselves.
  • We must do God's commandments to display love.
The neighbor is the non willing to do the will of God (the parable of the Good Samaritan).

Should we stay away from evil doers? If so, is that "loving your neighbor"?

2 Corinthians 6:11-18
  • This is love, that we be not unequally yoked with unbelievers.
  • Paul told the Corinthians that they were moved by affections & emotions.
  • The darkness doesn't coexist with light... light pushes back the darkness.
  • It is love to be separate because God commanded it... love is keeping God's commandments

Mathe 7:21-23
  • On Judgment Day, even Jesus will separate the righteous from the ungodly.
2 Thessalonians 3:1-15
  • Withdraw yourselves from every brother who walks disorderly.
  • If there are some that walk disorderly, do not keep company with them.
  • People who aren't working spiritually or physically, are stealing.
  • The love behind having no company with someone is so that they may be ashamed (provoked to godly sorrow and repentance) and admonished as a brother in Christ.
Read Numbers 12 about when Miriam sinned and had to be cast out of the camp for 7 days with no contact.
1 Corinthians 5:1-13
  • The Corinthians knew what was going on but no one was mourning or casting them out.
  • Not saying something they were helping them to be delivered to destruction.
  • Leaven helps things rise. it doesn't take much of evil to destroy the whole bunch. Cast out the leaven and be a new lump. 
  • Not using malice and wickedness but sincerity and truth.
  • God will judge those who are without Him. We must judge those within via God's Word

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...
