Matthew 18:21-35
Forgiveness
21 Then Peter came up and said to him, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times?” 22 Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you seven times, but seventy times seven.[a]
The Parable of the Unforgiving Servant
23 “Therefore the kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who wished to settle accounts with his servants. 24 When he began the reckoning, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents;[b] 25 and as he could not pay, his lord ordered him to be sold, with his wife and children and all that he had, and payment to be made. 26 So the servant fell on his knees, imploring him, ‘Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay you everything.’ 27 And out of pity for him the lord of that servant released him and forgave him the debt. 28 But that same servant, as he went out, came upon one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii;[c] and seizing him by the throat he said, ‘Pay what you owe.’ 29 So his fellow servant fell down and besought him, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you.’ 30 He refused and went and put him in prison till he should pay the debt. 31 When his fellow servants saw what had taken place, they were greatly distressed, and they went and reported to their lord all that had taken place. 32 Then his lord summoned him and said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you besought me; 33 and should not you have had mercy on your fellow servant, as I had mercy on you?’ 34 And in anger his lord delivered him to the jailers,[d] till he should pay all his debt. 35 So also my heavenly Father will do to every one of you, if you do not forgive your brother from your heart.”

Forgiveness. Bring everything to God, your joys, pains, failures, everything because He wants all of you. Prayers for Pom Pom

FNGs: None
COUNT: 9
WARMUP: SSH, tempo merkins, runner stretch, calve stretch, cherry pickers

THE THANG:
– I had planned my workout but left the exercises blank. At the end of the warmup each man called out an exercise and I randomly filled in the blank for what was next.
– Ran to the track. Went around the backside half lap, through the bleachers, and ended at the half wall near the front gate.
– For Act 1 at the half wall we did a set of step ups and merkins doing 5-10-15 each alternating between the two exercises. We followed with another set of derkins and mountain climbers.
– For Act 2 we moved to the end zone for take 5 every 5. We moved across the field stopping every 5 yards to do 5x each. First pass was alternating hello dollys & copperhead squats, second was lunge 10 yards and do 5 LBCs, third pass was alternating SSH & V-ups, and the final pass was 1 burpee every 5 yards.

COT:
After attending the funeral last night for Sarah I was struck by the impact she had by her big joyful smile and her passion for art. There were many other things but these two things really stood out. Question: Am I smiling enough? Also, what beauty or goodness am I bringing into the world with my talents?

“The aim of the person of faith is not to be as comfortable as possible but to live as deeply and thoroughly as possible – to deal with the reality of life, discover truth, create beauty, act out love.” E. Peterson

COT: “Never pay back evil with more evil. Do things in such a way that everyone can see you are honorable. Do all that you can to live in peace with everyone. Dear friends, never take revenge. Leave that to the righteous anger of God. For the Scriptures say, “I will take revenge; I will pay them back,” says the Lord. Instead, “If your enemies are hungry, feed them. If they are thirsty, give them something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals of shame on their heads.” Don’t let evil conquer you, but conquer evil by doing good.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭17‬-‭21‬ ‭NLT‬‬

COT
“I wish the ring had never come to me,” said Frodo.
“So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.

– Time is the only non-renewable resource — invest it well
– The investment of time we make in F3 furthers the mission, and we see the ripple effects in and outside of F3
– F3 has been a part of my life for close to a decade – and has changed, shaped, and molded me drastically. It’s a gift and privilege to be out here with you men.
