ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Starfish talk

COT:
Starfishing is F3 approach to growth. If a starfish looses a leg, that leg can form a new animal. Everything needed for a new animal is already there in the appendage, but it has to separate from the rest of the animal in order to do it.

As an organization of leaders, rather than an organization with leaders, we have tremendous potential for growth. How can you step into new areas of leadership?

COT:
Proverbs 15:1 -A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.
James 1:19 -Let every person be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry.

We are called to live out these verses as Christians. They require us to love others in a way that honors the individual and Christ.

Try and recognize where your emotional battery is at before going into a difficult conversation and rely on the Lord to strengthen you to love others well.

Let me know if you want to be part of the team at F3 Knoxville that is going to meditate on and discuss breaking up the Knoxville region AOs into smaller regions (Star Fish). F3 doesn’t want to stagnate. Growth many times means moving out of our comfort zone.

COT:
Ephesians 4:29 ESV
[29] Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.

Our words have power. Power to tear down or to build up. Let us be encouraging to our brothers at F3. Let us build up others in general. Let us steer clear of gossip and slander.

This verse is convicting to me because I can be over critical with my children. They need correction from me, but they also need my encouragement. They need to be built up through my words.

In a Peanuts cartoon, Linus is curled up in a chair, reading a book, while Lucy stands behind him with a funny look on her face. Lucy then says, “It’s very strange. It happens just by looking at you.”

“What happens?” Linus asks.

Lucy calmly answers, “I can feel a criticism coming on.”

Let us avoid Lucy’s example. Let us be men who lead by building up others with our words.
