Performance Based Christianity

Sunday, July 28, 2013
Led by Eric Gintert


Ephesians 2:8-9
  • We are saved by grace, through faith, not of works... it's the gift of God.
Ephesians 4:32
  • "forgiving one another" is in present tense; "hath forgiven you" is in past tense.
Acts 8:35-37
  • Philip didn't have to "do" anything; it wasn't about a physical act or performance, all he must do is believe.
Romans 6:1-23 
  • Matthew 6:21 says your heart is where your  treasure is.
  • Our heart is our thoughts and feelings. If you heart is one God, why would you want to purposely sin? God forbid.
  • Jesus put sin to death ans sin is put to death in us when we receive His gift of forgiveness.
  • We are not walking in the resurrection when we are dwelling on sin, digging a hole every time we fall instead of turning our eyes back to Jesus.
  • Jesus isn't going to die again; He put sin to death once and for all on the cross.
  • The sin is in the moral body (the flesh), not the spirit.
  • Sin has no more dominion over us!

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...
