Proverbs 13:20 Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm.

Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up.

John 15:12-3 My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. 

Proverbs 27:17 As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.

MOLESKIN:

My wife just celebrated her 30th high school reunion and mine is this weekend in Texas.  It’s made us think about our long friendships with people but also think about our more recent friends that are so important to us.  For me, I know the HIMs I’ve met in F3 would do just about anything for me just like I would for them.  Friendships are important and can take a lot of work and effort but they are important so let’s all try to be better friends and be intentional with our relationships with old friends and new ones!

The day before this Q was my birthday. My nephew was in a bad car accident the night before my Q, he is going to be ok and looks like make a full recovery from a concussion, small brain bleed, and a bruised lung.  This reminds me to make the most of ever day and that we never know how long we will be on this earth.  Love your family and friends and thank God for every day.  Make the most of our time and be a light to others.  Within hours of the accident F3 brothers, church members, and family were all praying and gathering..

Read Joshua 6:20

Remember that God is faithful no matter what. Sometimes our having faith in him doesn’t look like or appear that it makes a whole lot of sense. God told Joshua to run around a city and blow horns day after day. However, even when some things can be difficult or confusing, God is still in control and is faithful.

MOLESKIN:

Pray for Cheatsheet’s daughter Willow and Trolley’s wife Tony.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Just like the parking lot at JUCO that will be under construction the next 18 months, we are under construction in our lives every day.  Being under construction isn’t just the physical construction like me losing 40 pounds in the last couple of years.  Our spiritual construction is critical to our development as a HIM.  Some days, I do a decent jobs but most I do not.  That’s why it’s so important in F3 to lead, support, encourage, listen, etc. each other.

Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies. – 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. – Romans 12:1

So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.  – 1 Corinthians 10:31

…but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. – Isaiah 40:31

For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come. – 1 Timothy 4:8

I can do all this through him who gives me strength. – Philippians 4:13

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

  • Hardship Hill is coming up this weekend
