Sacrifice

Sunday, December 5, 2010
Led by Dennis Jeffries
  • Zephaniah 1:7-8  -  "bid his guests" = gave them an invitation to come to Jesus; "strange apparel" = spiritual, no blood of Jesus on them; good works
    • *** What are examples of "good works"? ***
  • Matthew 22:1-14  -  many receive the invitation but few are chosen; those who don't have a wedding garment will be cast to hell
  • Isaiah 53:1-11  -  most pictures of Jesus show a very handsome and attractive man but scripture says differently; Jesus was our offering for sin 
  • 2 Peter 1:4-11  -  need to remember so we don't forget that we have been purged from the old man and how that happened 
    • *** What can we sacrifice for Him? ***
  • Hebrews 9:1-28  -  the tabernacle is now our body; High Priest is now Jesus
Sacrifices we need to make for Him...
  • Hebrews 13:15-16  -  sacrifice of praise to God continually (using Jesus' name); doing good and communicating are sacrifices that God is pleased with
  • Psalm 51:17  -  sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; broken meaning how a horse is broke in or trained to do the master's will and not his own will
  • Romans 12:1  -  present your bodies a living sacrifice which is your reasonable service
  • Philippians 3:8-9  -  Paul sacrificed everything for Christ Jesus
  • Matthew 19:29  -  forsake everyone for Jesus and you shall receive one hundred fold
    • *** What does Jesus' sacrifice mean to you? ***

    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 ...

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...
