2 Peter 3:1-18 
  • The word of God is the trumpet... the wake-up call. We are the ones called to carry it.
  • If the things we are seeing in these latter times are not getting to you, something is wrong with you. It's unrighteousness and it should get to you.
  • 1 Peter 1:20  -  The scripture is of no private interpretation. He's not going to reveal one thing to another and something different to someone else. Or only to certain people and not others who are truly seeking Him.
  • We are to be looking for and hasting unto the day of the Lord.
  • We are to be diligent that we be found in peace, without spot, and blameless.
  • We are to be growing in grace and in the knowledge of Jesus Christ.
Revelation 16:1-21
  • God doesn't want to pour His wrath on anyone. It is His will that all would come to repentance and everlasting life
  • For those who think that God isn't being fair, even after all the pain and suffering, the evil people still will not repent.
This is what is set for those who are not born again and never repent of their sins. Does this not encourage you to do what 2 Peter 3 says we should be doing? We need to be diligent and growing in grace and steadfastness so that we won't fall.

We are all guilty and deserve Revelation 16, but God doesn't want that for anyone. God made a way called grace that through Jesus, we could be saved from His wrath.

Ephesians 6:10-20
  • We need to be strong in His might, not our own. He has called us to stand! Above all, we need to take up the shield of faith which quenches the fiery darts of the wicked.

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...
