CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Hebrews 12:1Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,”

MOLESKIN:

If we were planning to run a race, and planning to train together to do it, one of the first things we might do is talk together about how we might enter the race, what we might need to do to condition ourselves, and what we hoped to gain by running it. We would be greatly helped if we made a plan, maybe even a detailed plan of how we would train and set goals or criteria to measure our training progress towards our goal. With a realistic plan we could prepare with a realistic hope for success or finishing well as we would define it.

Every day we have an audience looking a us on how we are running this race. So we must remember that We need to look ro Christ who has ran the race correctly Ephesians 2:10

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

1 Corinthians 10:24 – “Let no one seek his own good, but the good of his neighbor.”

A simple yet confounding instruction. It runs pretty much exactly counter to our culture. We even try to explain how generosity can be motivated be self interest. Give because it makes you feel good. Give because it will improve the society you live in.

And it’s easy to throw rocks at. Most of us don’t like our neighbors meddling with us, even if they think they are doing us good. It’s easy to invent scenarios where things fall apart because folks weren’t paying attention to their own affairs but were tied in knots dealing with other people’s problems.

But still there it sits, in all its difficulty, simplicity, and wisdom.
MOLESKIN:
I was gonna do a decline set, but pretty beat after just three. Might have rather replaced the second set since it wasn’t that different.

Asbury Revival going on now – rekindling that First Love for God the way John describes in Revelation. God is speaking to me from Hosea 10:12, “Sow for yourselves righteousness; reap steadfast love; break up your fallow ground, for it is the time to seek the Lord, that he may come and rain righteousness upon you.” and Psalm 63. What fallow ground is God calling you to break up as you grow in seeking Him?

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

I’ve been reading the Gospel of John and it has led me to reflect on my namesake, Andrew’s, role.  Andrew is never considered one of the “main” disciples and is not mentioned nearly as much in the Gospels or the New Testament as Peter, James, John, or even Judas.  However, the Gospels tell us he did some incredibly important things:

  1. He was the first disciple called by Jesus.
  2. He was a disciple of John the Baptist before John points him to Jesus.
  3. He brought his brother Peter to Jesus.
  4. He was a fisherman with Peter.
  5. He brought the boy with the loaves and fish to Jesus so he could feed the 5,000.
  6. He was the first disciple to claim Jesus was the Messiah.

Through these scattered and limited accounts of Andrew, we can draw a few conclusions:

  1. He was seeking God — already a disciple of John the Baptist
  2. He was a man of work — fisherman
  3. He showed up — likely one of the main reasons he was called first by Jesus; he was there
  4. When he saw the Truth, he spoke it — claiming Jesus was the Messiah
  5. Perhaps most importantly, he brought people to Jesus.  The Gospel of John tells us that he brought both his brother Peter and the boy with the food to Jesus and Jesus worked miracles through them both.

If we could simply do what Andrew did, what awesome legacy could we leave behind?  Seek God, put in the work, be where you need to be, speak the Truth, and bring others to Jesus.
