CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM
Often we measure our sense of security and significance by our external circumstances…where we “are.”  A stronger, truer expression is to look at the direction we are heading in.  Our circumstances may be tough, but if keep our eyes fixed on God, and seek to live with honor and integrity we will find a strength and resilience we didn’t know we had access to.  Conversely, we may be in a “good place” circumstantially, but if we don’t guard our heart and mind we will soon find life looses it’s joy and wonder.  Bottom Line: Life is a pursuit, not a destination!  What are your eyes fixed on?  How can you help someone in your life shift perspectives?

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Thinking about the pain and sickness in our lives should remind us that this is not our home! We will one day stand before the Lord and hear those words, “Well done good, and faithful servant.” – we must remember that the Good and Faithful is not because we did those things, in fact, most of our lives are opposites of that. But Christ is the perfect sacrifice he died once and for all! It’s his perfect righteousness that we live under and are clothed by that God see! We didn’t earn it!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
There are days where you do not want to do something. The best way to deal with this is to develop discipline and have the mindset that you will do it anyway. Consider this, the best thing to do is to procrastinate the procrastination. In other words, you can take a day off tomorrow, but chances are tomorrow will come, and you will decide to keep grinding. If there is something you do not want to do, it probably means you should do it. Nothing is free after all.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

“Familiarity is a danger for the church even today. The moment we become comfortable and over-familiar with our own culture, we tend to disregard those who are foreign to our ‘family.’

In order to be a High Impact Man, you need to be out of your comfort zone

Challenge: Bring someone who you have nothing in common with to F3. If they won’t come, share a meal with them
