1. Phase II:
– We attempted to play a game of HORSE by having the PAX do an exercise while one person took a shot. If the shot was made, the shooter had to do a burpee. If he missed, the whole PAX had to do a :burpee:. F3 Pluto ( Hugh Nystrom) was overjoyed with the amount of :burpee: that were done by all. Let’s just say we’re not competing in any basketball tournaments as a team.

COT: Be a chain breaker! One of the men I know in my small group shared some of his life story. His family and the area he grew up in was impoverished and contained some bad environs. He joined the Air Force out of high school and got out of the bad situation and has seen the blessings of following the Lord. Reviewed Isaiah 58:1-12.

COT:
Chapter 6 of Kent Evans’ book The Manhood Journey is about serving others. Kent talks about three reasons we serve: Duty, Devotion, and Delight. While serving out of duty and devotion is good, we should strive to serve out of delight. We should take joy in using our gifts to serve others as God’s Word commands.

COT:
“Jesus didn’t come to earth just to get you to heaven.

Forgiveness of sins is just the beginning.

The good news of Jesus is to walk in His power on earth.

God picks people like you and me, flawed people to do His good deeds. We have to remember this phrase, “It’s not about me!!” Be a light in dark places.” – Pastor Rachel Stevens

It’s a great reminder that faith isn’t just about the destination but also about the journey—living out God’s purpose, being His hands and feet, and bringing His love into the world. Walking in His power means stepping out in faith, serving others, and being a light wherever we go.

“For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭2‬:‭10‬
