Love thy Neighbor


Sunday, January 20, 2013
Led by Eric Gintert



Mark 12:29-31
  • The first commandment is to love God. Then we are to love our neighbor.
  • We tend to put our neighbor before God.
  • How can we love our neighbor without loving God?
  • Just as in a husband / wife relationship, they are one flesh but sometimes love the children more than each other.
  • You can't truly love someone else before you love God.

What is Love

Love in the natural is an emotional affection toward another person. Love in the spiritual is an action... something you DO.

Romans 13:810
  • Owe no man anything but to love one another.
  • These are not man's commandments, but God's commandments.
  • Love is fulfilling the law and worketh no ill. Therefore, you are loving your neighbor by not condoning something that is against God's law. They may not like what you said or did to them, but it was love because it was fulfilling the law.
2 John 1-7
  • Love is in truth. The Truth is Jesus (John 14:6).
  • Definition of Love: that we walk after His commandments.
  • His commandment is that we love Him with all our heart, mind, and should and them we love one another as ourselves.
  • We must do God's commandments to display love.
1 John 4:7-11
  • We truly can't love one another unless we love God first.
  • It's not about "emotional affection". If it was, then everyone would be going to heaven.
  • It's a spiritual affection for God's word and obedience to His commandments.
  • "Love" is not that we love God, but that He loved us by sending Jesus to be a propitiation for our sins.
  • Since God has so love us, we ought to love one another.
"Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee." Proverbs 9:8

Who is My Neighbor?

Luke 10:25-37
  • All these commandments and Jesus said if you do them, you'll live.
  • The Parable of the Good Samaritan, the neighbor is the one who loved the man and showed mercy on him.
  • The neighbor is the one who did the will of God and helped the sick man in a godly way!

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! - 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...
