Letting the Word of Christ Dwell in You Richly

Sunday, March 6, 2011
Led by Eric Gintert
"Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord." Colossians 3:16
  • 2 Thessalonians 2:1-3  -  if you put your faith in the Word you will be tried but don't be troubled or shaken
    • *** Think of the Word of God as the "last will and testament" of a loved one. Usually, that last will of a loved one who has passed away is held as precious to that family members who read it and the family has a desire to fulfill their loved one's will. The Word of God should be the same way, with a desire to fulfill God's will. ***
  • John 1:1,14  -  The Word is God and the Word became flesh... which is Jesus.
  • 1 John 5:7  -  the Father, Word (Jesus), and Holy Ghost are one
  • Revelation 19:13  -  Jesus is called the Word of God
  • Hosea 4:1-6  -  Because the people have no desire, no heart, for truth (the Word) there is no mercy or knowledge of God and the people are destroyed
    • *** Today we have church buildings with no truth (the Word) because many people don't have a heart to receive it and therefore they seek church buildings with itching ears to hear what they want to hear. (See 2 Timothy 4:3) ***
  • Hosea 7:2,13-14  -  their hearts are the problem and they have fled from God
  • 1 John 1:1-3  -  when the Word dwells in us we are blessed with fellowship with God and the brethren
  • John 17:14-17  -  If the world hates you it's because the Word has changed you; the Word is truth and it sanctifies you (sets you apart) as one who follows God
    • *** Examine yourself: Does the world hate you? Why? ***
  •  Isaiah 66:1-5  -  So called Christians will come against you but you will have joy and they will be ashamed
  • Psalm 119:9-16  -  take heed to the Word with your whole heart; you will not forget His Word
  • Proverbs 2:1-6  -  we should have a passion and desire to seek as we would search for a hidden treasure, then you will understand and have knowledge
  • Proverbs 4:1-5  -  we need to retain his Words in our heart; the word get means there is action involved
    • *** See Proverbs 6:6, you have to make effort ***
  • Proverbs 8:1-11  -  God's Word is precious

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...
