Focused on one leadership trait we can learn from Christ’s example: Integrity.  Maintain it. Leaders who lose it, lose the trust of those being led. Constantly study your heart and compare actions to God’s instruction and Christ’s example.  A great resource from pastor John Piper: desiringgod.org

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

I have lost my focus and commitment towards my Bible study and scripture memorization so I found a few scripture to hopefully get me focused again.

“And may your hearts be fully committed to the LORD our God, to live by his decrees and obey his commands, as at this time.” 1 Kings 8:61 “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” Romans 3:23

“Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and he will establish your plans.” Proverbs 16:3

“Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.” Deuteronomy 6:5

“Keep your eyes focused on what is right, and look straight ahead to what is good.” Proverbs 4:25

“No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.” 1 Corinthians 10:13 

Let’s keep listening to and encouraging one another so to help each other get or stay focused on our faith!  We need one another and F3 is helping us get better and stay focused because our goal at the end of our life is to say:

“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.”  2 Timothy 4:7

MOLESKIN:

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

This weeks sermon at Fellowship Knoxville blew me away. The Gracious Gift of Affliction and Weakness Had to try and share some of the ideas of “power in weakness”.  It’s such a tough topic and hard to describe, akin to hitting a bullseye from 500 yards away, when the bullseye is a needle in a haystack.  In summary, do not shy away from your weaknesses, God will meet you in your attempts to address them. He will light the way and support you because He is awesome and because he is deeply invested in you and getting you through the tough valleys of humiliation and NOT AROUND THEM.   It worked also kind of like a good analogy for todays workout because we spent most of it on our hands and knees begging for mercy and strength as we crab walked and bear crawled for what seemed like miles.  But praise be to God, he met us, and we finished !! We could barely speak and were dizzy, but we all finished.

Boast in weakness

Search me and know me God, help me to work out any hurtful ways in me.

March Madness Prep-work

THE SCENE: 34* (chilly after last week’s heat wave)
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:
Cherry Pickers, Rockettes, SSH, Tempo Merkins, Tempo Squats

THA-THANG:
Suicide Ladder down parking lot (approx length of basketball court)

Perform 5 Bobby Hurley’s on one end and 5 Merkins on the other end of the parking lot. Increase your count by 5 for each round completed until the last round consist of 40 Bobby Hurley’s and 40 Merkins.  Congratulations! You just scored 360 points!

Basketball Circuit

Four stations of exercises were set up and HIMs paired up for some battle buddy action. At each station one HIM performed the exercise while the other ran “skill drills” down the parking lot lines. Stations were:

  • Free Throws (20lbs wall balls)
  • I’m Open! (50lbs sandbag curls)
  • Defense! (20lbs sandbag tricep extensions)
  • Granny Shots (40lbs sandbag kettlebell swings)

After the circuit was finished we passed the coupons in a ring of fire both standing and sitting. (Sitting yielded a much better workout.)

To top off the workout we ran sprints down the parking lot and bernie’d back for four rounds.

None

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Romans 8:28 New International Version (NIV)

28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

This is one of my favorite verses. However, I think it is often taken out of context. We are not promised an easy life on this Earth. Bad things can happen to good people, but this verse tells us that those things will be used by God to bring us closer to Him and ultimately closer to salvation. We also need to use this thought to help us keep our perspective in this world. Don’t allow trivial things to cloud your view of God. Keep looking upward.
