More Blessed to Give than Receive

Sunday, April 29, 2012
Led by Eric Gintert
  • Acts 20:28-38  -  Jesus said it is more blessed to give than receive. 
  • Matthew 17:24-27  -  It's not about giving money... Why didn't Jesus just reach in his pocket and pull out the money? Money wasn't a concern for Jesus, He provided.
  • Luke 21:1-4  -  Why doesn't this scripture show Jesus giving money? Jesus could care less about money... it was the woman's heart that he saw!
  • Matthew 10:5-8  -  Freely you have received, freely give; not money or possessions. Jesus didn't want them to worry about money but trust that He would provide.
  • 1 Corinthians 2:12  -  We've been given the spirit that we may know the gifts that have been freely given to us of the Lord.
  • Romans 15:1-3  -  God gave us Jesus; we didn't have to purchase a redeemer... He was freely given.

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 ...

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...
