CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
“Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect. For through the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound judgment, as God has allotted to each a measure of faith.”-Romans 12:1‭-‬3 NASB1995

We are not to give in to desires of the flesh. This is what the world does, but we are called to be different…transformed in fact. One way in which to do this is to not think too highly of ourselves. Arrogance and selfishness are two terrible characteristics to have. Everyone struggles with these. Instead remember to humble yourself in the sight of the Lord and He will lift you up. James 4:10

MOLESKIN:
Way to push through this morning. Burpees can be tough, but they will make you stronger if you keep doing them.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Convergence at JUCO on July 2nd, family workout at the Project on Saturday at 0900.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Bear one another’s burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ. – Galatians 6:2 NASB1995

Therefore encourage one another and build up one another, just as you also are doing. – 1 Thessalonians 5:11 NASB1995

Trying to shoulder our burdens all by ourselves is really difficult. We are called to bear one another’s burdens and build each other. That means that when we have burdens too heavy to bear, we have to be willing to share them with our trusted brothers. I know this can be very difficult for us men who want to generally hold in our emotions and our challenges. We typically think that it shows weakness to ask for help. Fact is…we need it.

“Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” – Matthew 11:28‭-‬30 NASB1995

We can find our ultimate (eternal) rest in Jesus.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
“For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will hardly die for a righteous man; though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” – Romans 5:6‭-‬8 NASB1995

Christ didn’t die only for those who were righteous, but he died for all sinners.

“And you were dead in your trespasses and sins, in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience. Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest. But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,”-Ephesians 2:1‭-‬6 NASB1995

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
“Then He said to them, “Beware, and be on your guard against every form of greed; for not even when one has an abundance does his life consist of his possessions.” And He told them a parable, saying, “The land of a rich man was very productive. And he began reasoning to himself, saying, ‘What shall I do, since I have no place to store my crops?’ Then he said, ‘This is what I will do: I will tear down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. And I will say to my soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years to come; take your ease, eat, drink and be merry.” ’ But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your soul is required of you; and now who will own what you have prepared?’ So is the man who stores up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”-Luke 12:15‭-‬21 NASB1995

This man had his priorities out of line. He was more concerned about accumulating wealth on earth instead of putting up his treasures in heaven. We need to be reminded to be content and focus on serving God first, spending time with our families, and serving others over working so hard to accumulate wealth that we miss the opportunity to reap the benefit.

MOLESKIN:
YHC again had to add work on the fly. Everyone worked really hard this morning.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
“and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near.” –Hebrews 10:24‭-‬25 NASB1995

“Two are better than one because they have a good return for their labor. For if either of them falls, the one will lift up his companion. But woe to the one who falls when there is not another to lift him up.”-Ecclesiastes 4:9‭-‬10 NASB1995

“but if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.” – 1 John 1:7 NASB1995

The message YHC wants to present is that fellowship is essential to our spiritual, physical, and mental health. I got a random phone call from a friend from highschool yesterday. We were pretty close then but have drifted apart once we moved away. It was great to catch up and it reminded me how important it can be to reach out to our family and friends. We become stronger together. Proverbs 27:17 – ISI.

The unity and fellowship that we can have in Christ is even more powerful than our earthly relationships. Let’s walk in the light!

MOLESKIN:
I am glad we didn’t climb that mountain more times!
