CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Luke 16:10-14

“Whoever can be trusted with small things can also be trusted with big things. Whoever is dishonest in little things will be dishonest in big things too. If you cannot be trusted with worldly riches, you will not be trusted with the true riches. And if you cannot be trusted with the things that belong to someone else, you will not be given anything of your own.” [Luke 16:10-14]

Your body and spirit were entrusted to you. Therefore, take a good care of your physical body and your mental state. Do not be afraid to seek for help. Do not face your problems alone. Be brave to admit and to recognize your issues. Be honest to yourself.

COT:
This was a very special day as we passed the shovel flag off to a new leader, Slappy! It is going to be extremely exciting to see what he does in the role and how Shamrock is going to thrive under his leadership.

We have all heard the quote, “Strong men create good time, good times creat weak men, weak men create bad times, bad times create strong men.” I head some commentary on this quote from Nick Freitas on this and says, “Bad times don’t create strong men, strong men are made by the influence of other strong men.” He goes on to talk about how strong men are there through good times and bad, but in the bad times, strong men are once again appreciated for what they contribute to society.
I instantly thought of F3 and the group of strong men that I have the privilege of working out beside every morning. All of you have made me a stronger man in all areas of my life and I am thankful for every one of you.

COT:
-The enemy wants us to live our life on the sidelines where we have no impact in the game. One of his favorite strategies is apathy. We drift from one thing to the next as if our involvement has no value or consequence and as a result our involvement has no positive value or consequence. So start with choices. Make all your decisions count. If you don’t choose, it will be chosen for you.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: none
COT: Don’t be afraid to own up to your weaknesses. One of mine is prayer. I have been pondering Job this week, and how even in his anger, he was prayerful and God was pleased with him because he prayed. I know that my prayer life can improve, and that I need to be willing to “talk” to God more. Where are your weaknesses, where can you improve? Don’t be afraid to be vulnerable with this group and seek improvement. Also, when addressing a weakness, start by looking in the mirror, don’t start by blaming others.

COT:
Look for the little triggers in your life – little temptations and sins that could grow up to ruin you. Little lust grows up to be adultery. Little indulgence grows up to be addiction. Little anger grows up to be rage. Each of those baby sins – when they are fully grown, can RUIN you. It is far easier to kill something in its infancy, than to try and kill it when it is mature. KILL those things while they are tiny. “…watch out, because sin is crouching at the door, ready to pounce on you! You must master it before it masters you.” (Genesis 4:7). You have tens of men at Shamrock who would be honored to walk that path with you and can do so confidentially, if needed. Reach out for help and accountability!
