COT:

Yesterday was Dec 1, the start of advent. My family and I started an advent devotional and week one is about hope.

Advent literally means “the coming” and it’s a time of anticipation as we wait for Christmas. This anticipation and waiting is also a reminder of our greater hope as we wait for the return of Jesus to restore all things.

During this season remember the hope Christmas is a reminder of.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

COT:
Alright guys we’re going to do something a little different.

We’ll go around the circle one by one and I want you to tell me what your net worth is.

Now that you’ll all taken a deep breath and uttered ‘yeah right’ …I’ll tell you mine
– I feel wealthy because of my eternal riches in Christ!

What you probably all thought of was a monetary version, which I’ll add is temporary. Those thoughts, while important for our time on earth, are ultimately nothing compared to what we have in store after this life is over.

Assets to manage
God has given people assets to manage, and tracking net worth can help people evaluate how to live more generously

Biblical wealth
People with biblical wealth see their wealth as an opportunity to manage what God has given them, and not as something they own.

Self-worth
People with biblical wealth do not attach their self-worth to their net worth.

Self-worth in Christ
Jesus sacrificed for people’s sins so that they could be made whole and given life in Him.

Ephesians 3:8: Christ’s riches are spiritual and unsearchable, and they provide salvation to everyone who believes. 

Pass or stay?

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

COT: as we approach Thanksgiving, we all must remember to have a servant heart. Just like Jesus washed the feet of his disciples. We should get joy out of serving others. We must not serve only those we love or agree with, but those that may not treat us well or disagree with us, it is not enough to know God’s word we must act out in our day-to-day lives.

Most wouldn’t

COT: in Matthew 24 Jesus says that as
Wickedness increases>>>Love of MOST will grow cold.
Old men have a path to choose; rather men have a path to choose and the path is clear once they are old
Bitter, or better
Dirty old man or sweet old man. But it’s never too late.
On this veterans day, I want to honor my dad, a Veteran and a guy who is growing to in his Love for the Lord and is a sweet, and funny, old man.
Sweet old man is going to not come from me, but from God’s love in me
I need to grow in passion, not let it grow cold and do what MOST won’t do.
What things do you see good men do?
– In community
– prayer
– Time in scripture
– realizing the stakes are high

FNGs: None
COUNT: 22
Stuff was done. See post by Crawdad above :point_up_2: because apparently Crawdad has not learned how to do a formal backblast in slack. First half by me, and the second have by Crawdad, who delivered two messages in the COT:

1. You can’t change your life without changing something that you do everyday.
2. If you come out and enjoy the BSIA, then you should be Qing 1-2 times per year, at a minimum.

Convergence next week, or, as Crawdad called it, a “Brovergence.” Crawdad will be there as a “Brovirgin.” I will not be there because my kids have a swim meet. Enjoy and don’t get hurt. It should help that the sun will be up at 7:00 since it is after the time change.
