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

    Jesus Understands Our Infirmities

    Sunday, March 27, 2011 Led by Dennis Jeffries Jesus has experienced everything we've ever been through, and more so. He understands our feelings and knows what it's like. Hebrews 2:16-18  -  Jesus took on flesh and blood and was made like his brethren; he brings hope and comfort to those suffering with temptation Philippians 2:5-6  -  Jesus didn't think it was robbery to be equal with God (he wasn't taking anything away from God because he was God) *** See John 10:24, John 1:1,14 *** John 5:18  -  the Jews wanted to kill Jesus because he proclaimed to be equal with God *** See John 15:18-19 *** Philippians 2:7  -  Jesus was in the likeness of man Isaiah 53:2-5  -  He knows how we feel in every situation we're in; he was a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief... therefore he understands our griefs and sorrows Galatians 4:4-5  -  Jesus was flesh (made of a woman) and was subjected to temptation just as we are, but he ...

    Don't Be Naked! - The Breastplate

    The Whole Armor of God This Week: The Breastplate Click image to enlarge. Sunday, September 30, 2012 Led by Eric Gintert Ephesians 6:10-18 The Whole Armor of God Isaiah 59:16-17 This is what God wants us to be clothed with... the very thing He clothed His Son with! Ephesians 6:14 The breastplate protects the heart and desires. 1 Thessalonians 5:4-9 Your heart represents your desires. Are you desiring your own righteousness or His righteousness? Jude 3 says, "...   ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints" yet we're doing the same things as the world. We say that we have our armor on, but really, we're sleeping. William Booth's Breastplate of Righteousness William Booth, founder of the Salvation Army, was not concerned with thrift stores, food lines, and raising money (while all this is a good work and nothing is wrong with the cause). He guarded his heart by having a conc...
