  • The Power of Perspective

    Series: N/A

    Service: Sunday AM

    Type: Sermon

    Speaker: Jamie Helmick

    Sometimes a fresh perspective helps us see our needs more clearly.

       When studying the scriptures, the first person to consider is yourself.

    An important point to remember when considering our current condition is that things are not always as they may _______________.

    One way to help us change our perspective is to give ourselves time to ________________.

    Why was Paul given his thorn in the flesh? ______________________________________________________________________________

    In the Colossians 1, Paul said I _________ in my sufferings.

    Hebrews 5:8, Although he was a ______, he learned ______________ through what he ______________.

    What do I need to change my perspective on to be a better person? To be more pleasing to God? ___________________________________

    2 Corinthians 12:10
    For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

  • 3 Reasons Christians Need to Be Fasting

    Series: N/A

    Service: Sunday AM

    Type: Sermon

    Speaker: Jamie Helmick

    Source text: Matthew 6:16-21

    1. WE NEED TO BE DEVOTED TO PRAYER

    1.  When would be an appropriate time to pray? _____________________________
    2.  What are some things we can pray for? __________________________________

    2. WE NEED TO CONSIDER WHAT WE ARE TRULY HUNGRY FOR

    1.  "The LORD is my ___________," says my soul, "Therefore I will hope in Him!" 25 The LORD is ___________ to those who _______ for Him, To the soul who seeks Him. -Lamentations 3:24-25
    2.  A pang of physical hunger does the spiritual body good in realizing we have NOTHING without God!

    3. WE NEED TO PRESERVE NEW TESTAMENT CHRISTIANITY

    1.  In the New Testament we see fasting done individually and as the church together. 
    • Jesus fasted (Matthew 4:2).
    • Jesus said His disciples would fast after He returned to heaven (Matthew 9:15).
    • Jesus gave instructions for fasting (Matthew 6:16-18).
    • The church fasted and prayed before sending those out to preach the Good News (Acts 13:3).
    • The church fasted and prayed when appointing elders (Acts 14:23).

     

    “But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, that your fasting may not be seen by others but by your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.” Matthew 6:17-18

  • The Wisdom of Our Heavenly Father

    Series: N/A

    Service: Sunday AM

    Type: Sermon

    Speaker: Jamie Helmick

    Happy Father’s Day to all our Fathers!!


    In Proverbs 5:7, God encourages us not to depart from what? ____ _______ ____ ___ ______

    Let’s break down Proverbs 4:1-8

    Vs 1 Hear, O sons, a father's instruction, and be attentive, that you may gain insight, 
    Vs 2     I give you _________ precepts
                   Do not _____________ my teaching
    Vs 4     Let your heart _______ ________ my words
                   _______ my commandments and _______
    Vs 5     ______ wisdom
                  ______ insight
                  ___ ___ forget
                  Do not turn away from ___ ______ ___ ___ ________
    Vs 6     Do not forsake her (wisdom) and she will _______ you
                   ________ her and she will ________ you
    Vs 7     The beginning of wisdom is this: _____ __________ and whatever you get, get __________
    Vs 8      ________ her __________, and she will __________ you.
                   She will honor your if you ____________ her

    When we do not listen to the instruction of our Heavenly Father we will share in the same 
    thought as Proverbs 5:14:

    “I am at the brink of utter ruin in the assembled congregation.”

    According to Matthew 5:16, how can we glorify our Father who is in heaven?
                     By ___________ our _________ ___________ before __________.

    We must recognize the depth of the love the Father has for us when He has given us opportunity to 
    LIVE ETERNALLY WITH HIM!

  • Lost Without God

    Series: N/A

    Service: Sunday AM

    Type: Sermon

    Speaker: Jamie Helmick

    We must be willing to reach out to people. 

    If we truly believe man is utterly lost without God that fact alone should be enough to move 
    us from our comfort zone to talk to others about the Lord and the saving power of Jesus 
    blood. 

    We must be willing. Most people will need, even want, guidance.

    • Who do we read about in Acts chapter 8 as a good example of being willing to teach about God? ______________________

    Core points to convey:

    It is not in man to find his own way:

    • There is a way that seems _________ to a man, but its end is the way to _________. Proverbs 14:12

    Many distractions along the way:

    • What are we told to do with people like the forbidden woman? Keep our way _______ ________ her! Proverbs 5:8

    The consequences of not making the destination.

    • The rich man didn’t take time to follow after God. God said that he was now in ____________.  Luke 16:25

    While the route is guaranteed, the time to travel is not.

    • “…yet you do not know what _______________ will bring. What is your life? For you are a ______ that appears for a ________ time and then __________.   James 4:14

     

    We are LOST without God, But we FIND OUR WAY in Jesus! -John 14:6
     

    What is your ETA?
