Forgiveness, Repentance, & Justification


Sunday, July 14, 2013
Led by Eric Gintert


 Romans 5:1-21

  • Justified can be understood as saying "just-as-if-I'd" never sinned.
  • Romans 6:1-4 tells us that being justified doesn't give us the liberty to freely sin with no consequence. On the contrary, it poses the question, "why would you want to sin".
  • God forgave sin (singular): past, present, and future sin. ALL sin!
  • Do you believe God put sin to death? If so, why are you letting sin rule you?
  • The free gift is forgiveness. A gift must be received. Those who let sin overwhelm them have not received the gift of forgivness.
  • God didn't wait for us to be good so that He could die for us... it never would have happened if that were the case. He died for us while we were yet sinners.
  • Enemies (those who are not born again) are reconciled to God in that sin was put to death. Because of Christ's death, sin is no longer what we are judged on. Unbelief is what sends people to eternal damnation.

Q & A: How is Jesus of the seed of David?
  • Romans 1:3 - Jesus, the seed of David
  • Matthew 1:6-17 - Joseph, Jesus father on earth, came from the lineage of David (a kingly heritage).
  • Luke 1:5 - Mary (the cousin of Elisabeth) came from the lineage of Aaron, a Levite (a preistly heritage).

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 carried away with fa

Freaking out in Times of Peace

Sunday, June 24, 2012 Led by Eric Gintert Encouragement from the Lord that He is our rock and fortress, He is our peace in the storm... so stop FREAKING OUT! :-) Psalm 3:1-8 The enemy is not necessarily people coming against him, but powers and principalities (spiritual warfare). The battle is often in the mind with doubt, depression, etc. This is why we are commanded not to be fearful of the one who destroys the body, but the one who destroys the soul and body in hell. (Matthew 10:28) David knew that God was his shield and strong tower, his protector. Matthew 8:23-27 In the midst of the storm, Jesus was sleeping in the bottom of the boat. Even when everyone else was freaking out, Jesus was at peace. Peace was right their in the ship with them, and they were freaking out! Jesus rebuked them saying, "Why are ye fearful, o ye of little faith?" Prayer Requests Fields Family  -  house to rent Joel F. mom & dad  -  mom going through 4 surgery in last

Is There Oil in Your Lamp?

Sunday, March 14, 2012 Led by Eric Gintert Matthew 25:1-13 The lamp represents your heart. The oil represents the Holy Spirit. When the virgins heard the announcement that the bridegroom was come, they were excited. Unfortunately only five of them were prepared. For the five foolish virgins, their fire went out when nothing exciting was happening. Then, when the excitement came, they didn't have enough oil to get the fire started again.  The five wise virgins knew that they couldn't give the oil (Holy Spirit) to the other women. You can live your life however you want, like the foolish virgins did, and expect to get right with God at the end of your life after you've done everything you wanted first. It's too late at that point because the door was shut. Matthew 24:36-39 The last days will be like it was in the days of Noah. Evil imaginations in the heart of man was (and now is) rampant on earth. Genesis 7:1,16 God called Noah and his family int
