BOM
A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold.
Proverbs 22:1

Over the last two and half years we have seen literally hundreds of men come through F3 Knoxville.  No matter whether they’ve stayed or moved on, they have contributed to what it means to be a part of F3, what it means to be a HIM.  When we wear the “F3” it means something.  It symbolizes a pursuit to reject passivity, accept responsibility, lead courageously and expect a greater reward.  It is worn by everyday men who are seeking to live extra-ordinary lives as men of impact.  Every day we have an opportunity to grow and help others grow as well.  This is both a gift and a stewardship.  My prayer is that as each of us leave there this morning, we will choose to be men of integrity, courage, humility and love.  That we will not only live up to, but contribute to the reputation this PAX has built over the last two years.

Now let’s get after it!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

On this day in 1917 = the U.S. entered WWI
– thousands of men were called into action – called into active duty service for their country.
– What would it look like for us as high impact men to answer the call God gives us to go into active duty service as servants for HIS kingdom?
– ‎and you could say “man I don’t feel qualified to talk to my neighbor, coworker, friend, or family, about my faith or God.” Or “That’s not me, I’m not that guy”
– ‎but hear this: You are the guy. Because God doesn’t call the qualified, he qualifies the called.
– Ephesians 6:19-20 (MSG) = And don’t forget to pray for me. Pray that I’ll know what to say and have the courage to say it at the right time, telling the mystery to one and all, the Message that I, jailbird preacher that I am, am responsible for getting out.

Try to remember the importance of sacrificial service which is the foundation of  true leadership.  Recall the example of Jesus on the Last Supper washing the disciples feet.

“Rather, let the greatest amount you become as the least, and the leader as one who serves.”  Luke 22:26
