Being Giddy Again

Sunday, August 26, 2012
Led by Eric Gintert

(Click to listen to audio from our service)

Deuteronomy 6:5-9
  • Parents are held highly accountable to raise their children in this commandment... that's how important it is!
  • It is our continual duty to love God with all our heart, soul and might.
  • It didn't say "love God with all your prayers all the day long" but to love Him with all your heart.
  • Loving Him is not a textbook... it's in your heart because you want to do it.
  • To be holy is to love God with all your heart, soul, and might.
  • We need to "live on the love of God".
1 Thessalonians 5:17

  • "Pray without ceasing."  -  don't stop praying!
  • How would we do anything if we are always on our knees with hands folded?
  • Prayer is communication with God at all times.
He wants us to return to the time when we were "giddy" for Him in the beginning when we were first saved.

Revelation 2:1-5
  • We can do many great things (works), but He can still have something against us... we've left our first love. 
  • Our desire isn't there, we're doing it as works (to look good) but we're not communicating with God to seek His will. 
  • We need to repent and return to the first works of seeking God.
Luke 2:40-50
  • They wouldn't have forgotten Jesus if they would have kept their eyes fixed on Him.
  • Why did it take 3 days to find Him instead of 2 days? They weren't looking in the right place.
Jeremiah 29:11-13
  • God wants to give us peace but we must seek Him until we find Him.

Don't Be Naked! - Loins Girt with Truth

The Whole Armor of God This Week: Loins Girt with Truth Click image to enlarge. 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...

The 10 Most Overlooked People in Your Church

Photo credit: https://careynieuwhof.com/8-reasons-most-churches-never-break-the-200-attendance-mark/ This post is in response to the original article by Anne Peterson. Her post on crosswalk.com can be found here: http://www.crosswalk.com/slideshows/the-10-most-overlooked-people-in-your-church.html?p=2 1. Single People It’s hard to believe that most churches overlook this group of people. In my opinion, this is probably the most regarded group. With churches forming so many “ group” activities, this ranks highest with singles groups, youth groups, teen groups, bible study groups, etc.  The author quotes no scripture here for biblical reference for the single to be administered.   1 Cor. 7:24-40 - these verses deals with both the single unmarried as well as the divorced and single. Paul gives teaching how a man and woman who are born again should desire God first, then marriage, if at all. 2. People With Illnesses If you are not part of an asse...

"Good Works Salvation"

Sunday, June 12, 2011 Led by Eric Gintert Begin by reading James 2 and then we will discuss if out works are good enough to get to heaven. The Rich Young Ruler Matthew 19:16-26  -  The young rich man asked "what good thing [work] shall I do ?"; he wanted to know how to go to heaven; Jesus gave all the commandments regarding how we should treat others and the young rich man proclaimed that he had kept all these things... he'd done good to others (he was a "good person"). But Jesus told him that to be perfect (meaning complete) he needed to "come and follow me [Jesus] "... God works aren't enough; the young man was so sorrowful when he walked away because he had just rejected the Holy Ghost; it is hard for a rich man to enter heaven... we are all rich; It is impossible for a rich man to enter heaven based on his own "good works" but it is possible to enter heaven with God Mark 10:17-21  -  The young rich man ran and kneeled before Jesus...
