Gal 2:20 Now…REPEAT the full routine – starting over with your rep count
I have been crucified with Christ, it is no longer I who lives but Christ who lives in me
and the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave His life for me.

From AW Tozer, Crucified Life: last time I spoke of living the crucified life – it has a currency. We have to give some things up. Pay something.  This is not salvation – Jesus Christ paid that price in full, but for our sanctification, it costs something.
We looked at Fun
Also consider: Safety |Convenience |Popularity| Worldly Success

Let me be clear, these are not things we have to give up – but if God asked us to, would we.
Would we write the check that says.
All our security and safety?

It would be safer to be at a gym where no one is going to ask you to lead
It would be safer to store up more treasures on earth in case things fall apart in the future
It would be safer to stay in comfortable, familiar settings and not risk it

It would be safer to not go on that missions trip.

It would have been safer for Bonhoeffer to stay in England and not fight the evil of Nazi Germany.
But God calls us to live the crucified life because it is worth it. Eternity is on the line

  • At the bottom we will perform the following exercises with a CMU: bicep curls, triceps and over-head press. We started at 20 and decrease by 2 each time.

We were not able to complete the whole ladder due to timing restrictions :).

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

This was taken from a devotional by J.D. Greear called “A Better Way to Do Christian Work”

Christians often think that if they want to serve God in the workplace, they have to take a more obvious step like opening up a coffee shop called Jehovah Java.

Really, though, your faith in Jesus will be much more effective in displaying a set of attitudes that are shaped by the gospel, including:

Integrity: When others can get away with pilfering or deceit, you don’t, because God sees. You are working and stewarding for a greater Boss and an eternal reward.

Excellence: You’re not just doing the minimum required to get by; you are trying to bless your employers and coworkers.

Servanthood: You see your work as an act of service toward other people, an attitude shaped by the belief that God created the world in an imperfect state and put men and women here as his co-creators, to develop the raw materials of the world for his glory and the benefit of fellow humans.

Hope: As a believer, your work doesn’t define you, which allows you to not take it too seriously or cheat to get ahead. You’ve found your identity as part of God’s family and not in your work. A believer is defined by his position with God, not his position on a flow chart.

The summary is the better way to “make the teaching about God our Savior attractive” (Titus 2:10 NIV) is by working with integrity, excellence, service, and hope.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
“I wrote you in my letter not to associate with immoral people; I did not at all mean with the immoral people of this world, or with the covetous and swindlers, or with idolaters, for then you would have to go out of the world. But actually, I wrote to you not to associate with any so-called brother if he is an immoral person, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler—not even to eat with such a one.”

1 Corinthians 5:9‭-‬11 NASB1995

Can we sometimes be naive to think that associating with sinful behavior will not impact us? Paul states earlier in this chapter that a little leaven will leaven the whole lump of dow. It doesn’t matter about intentions, the “leaven” will impact us too.

MOLESKIN:
Don’t let injuries get you down. We had a couple PAX modifying by walking and biking this morning. Nice job!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
If you are anything like YHC, you may find yourself with a bad attitude. There may be a good excuse for that bad attitude: “it’s been a tough day”, “that guy just cut me off”, “there are too many things on my plate at work”, etc. The list could go on and on. However, if one is in Christ, they truly don’t an acceptable excuse for a bad attitude because we have hope. We have hope in eternity when this life is over.

“Who is there to harm you if you prove zealous for what is good? But even if you should suffer for the sake of righteousness, you are blessed. And do not fear their intimidation, and do not be troubled, but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence;” 1 Peter 3:13‭-‬15 NASB1995

Let’s do our best to let that hope we have within bubble over into our everyday lives so that others may want to know about Jesus.

MOLESKIN:
JUCOmanjaro…always a pleasure. We should visit more often.
