CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I recently met an old friend for dinner. It was good to catch up with him. I reflected on our time together and the moments where we began to take different paths. My friend certainly had a rough time for a few years. Maybe I did not fulfill my duty has a friend to be more open and willing to be supportive when I suspected something was going wrong. I do not mean to say that we should be very assertive, but rather we should ask them if everything is alright. Just reaching out to someone can be enough.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Earlier this week my wife and I became grandparents of our 3rd grand Child.  As I was holding this new born baby I came to a renewed awareness of life and how precious it is.  God made all human beings in His image (Gen 1:27) with the sole purpose to glorify Him.  In Jer 1:5  God says “before I formed you in the womb knew you”.  We as men and leaders in the community must witness to other people the importance of the “value of life” and the importance to glorify God.  If we do that people might start thinking about that again and we might influence decisions on suicide, homicide and maybe even abortions.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
Only 3 PAX braved the gloom this morning.
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Nobody got up this morning at 5:00 and decided to get out in the gloom and get better. That decision was made yesterday (or earlier!), long before the required time of action. That principle holds true in most areas of life. Make your decision ahead of time, and follow-through is that much easier when it comes time for action.
MOLESKIN:
Piece of advice for anyone who leaves keys in your car during a beatdown: Get a magnetic key holder for about tree fiddy and keep a spare somewhere in the undercarriage.

Mathew 18:21-35 – The Parable of the Unmerciful Servant (Forgiveness)

You gotta love Peter’s confidence here. How many times, Lord, should I forgive these people?   [Go ahead and open your bibles, read the passage.  Do it.]

The parable culminates with Jesus’ description of how our Father in Heaven will treat us if we continue the path of un-forgiveness. Did you catch it in verse 34?  Jesus equates un-forgiveness with jail.  That’s exactly what un-forgiveness will do to you.  You will be locked away behind anger, resentment, jealousy, pride, and selfishness.  Ironically, the offending party goes free.  The best part of this is…   You have the key to the prison.  It’s not easy, but it’s the only way out.  Start small, ask God for help.  As you kneel, ask God to forgive you for your offenses.   Lord, thank You that each day we have from You is a gift, another chance for a fresh start. Forgive us, Lord.  Help us to forgive, and to let go of the past.  Please help us to see Your strength through our weaknesses today, and then again tomorrow, and every day after.  I Jesus’ Name, amen.

Also, remember Jesus’ answer to Peter’s question.  “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.”

MOLESKIN:
Arms, chest, legs, cardio. A little mumble chatter, no grumbling at all.   What a great group of HIM’s this morning!  The Brickyardigans showed up in force, thanks to Natty’s mad leadership skills. We got to name an FNG.  Welcome Cindy!!  It was good to be in the gloom this morning.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:

Be gentle and loving — Don’t be crabby or a bear!!

Galations 5:13-26

13 For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. 14 For the whole Law is fulfilled in one word, in the statement, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”15 But if you bite and devour one another, take care that you are not consumed by one another.

16 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh.17 For the flesh [g]sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you [h]please. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the Law. 19 Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: [i]immorality, impurity, sensuality,20 idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, [j]factions, 21 envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. 24 Now those who [k]belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

25 If we live by the Spirit, let us also [l]walk by the Spirit. 26 Let us not become boastful, challenging one another, envying one another.
