The Holy Spirit


Sunday, February 2, 2013
Led by Joel Fields



Genesis: 1:1-2
  • The spirit moved upon the face of the waters... the first act of Creation.

    Genesis 2:7
    • God breathed into man the breath of life... the spirit
    • Without the breath, man was just dust.
    • There's no power or life until God brings the spirit.

    Ezekiel 7:1-10
    • The spirit took Ezekiel to a valley (a very low place), not the mountain top.
    • The bones in the valley were dry. Symbolically, dead with no hope of life in them... complete hopelessness.
    • God does the greatest works in an atmosphere of death and hopelessness, death have hold on God. 
      • In the resurrection of His Son... death in the flesh and made alive in the spirit.
    • The spiritually dead don't have ears to hear, unless it is God who speaks.
    • God opens the graves and brings the dead back to life so that all will know that He is the Lord.
    "Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth." Psalm 46:10

    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...
