Chastening and Discipline - Where are the Men?

Sunday, January 22, 2012

Led by Eric Gintert

Malachi 4:5-6 - The hearts of the fathers will be turned back to the children and the children to the fathers. Fathers are commanded to teach their children diligently the commandments of God (Deuteronomy 6:6-10). Since fathers are no longer doing this we have no peace and children are oppressing (see Isaiah 3:12)
Isaiah 53:5 - Jesus took on chastisement for us that we may have peace. He didn't resist when the men came to get Him in the garden... He gave Himself for us.
Hebrews 12:1-11 - Don't faint (or have a pity party) when God chastens you. He does it because He loves you and you are His child. He does it that we might partake in His holiness. He commands that we be holy as His is holy (1 Peter 1:16). God chastens those whom He loves just as a father chastens his child.
2 John 4-6 - Love is walking in the truth, loving one another, and walking after God's commandments. When a father chastens a son, or a pastor/church leader chastens the congregation, when done righteously, it is out of love... giving truth and obeying God's commandments.

For next week: Read Luke 23:28-31... what does this mean and what is Jesus saying?

Prayer Requests:
Don - mental disability; salvation
Del M. sons - salvation
Corinne G. - baby and strep B test next Wednesday
Penny W. - problems with teeth

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 ...

Examples of Prayer from Those of Old

Sunday, August 7, 2011 Led by Eric Gintert We can learn a lot about prayer by reading what God's servants of old have prayed. "To pray is the greatest thing we can do: and to do it well there must be calmness, time, and deliberation; otherwise it is degraded into the littlest and meanest of things. True praying has the largest results for good; and poor praying, the least. We cannot do too much of real praying; we cannot do too little of the sham. We must learn anew the worth of prayer, enter anew the school of prayer. There is nothing which it takes more time to learn. And if we would learn the wondrous art, we must not give a fragment here and there -- "A little talk with Jesus," as the tiny saintlets sing -- but we must demand and hold with iron grasp the best hours of the day for God and prayer, or there will be no praying worth the name. This, however, is not a day of prayer. Few men there are who pray. Prayer is defamed by preacher and priest. In these days o...
