CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Monday Kickflip shared about family discipleship through key moments
Wednesday Commission shared about family discipleship through teaching/training.
Today I will share about family discipleship through modeling. When I think of modeling I think of Deut 6:5-8.

5 You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. 6 And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. 7 You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. 8 You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.

— Deuteronomy 6:5–8 (ESV)

  1. The first thing to notice: the priority of God. Out of our love for God comes our motivation for discipleship. He must come first. And he wants to be first at everything! He wants us to love him with every part of our person.
  2. The second thing to note is when to model. All the time! There is literally never a bad time. Going to bed and getting up. Sitting and walking. We’re always modeling and there is never a bad time to be teaching about God and his character.

When do you model for your family? Some pax shared times they model. Praying for meals and at bedtime, reading God’s word, etc.

The challenge today is to first follow God with everything. Second, take every opportunity to share with your family along the way.

Mosey to Sophomore Hill and partner up. (Hat tip, Archie!)  Pairs spread out across 6 stations.  At each station there is a “stationary” exercise and a “move” exercise.  First partner does the “stationary” exercise until the second partner does the “move” exercise to the cone and back.  Two minutes each station.  20-second recovery and rotate.  Performed 10 sets.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

Me and 13 of the best men I know

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Joel 1:3, “Tell it to your children, and let your children tell it to their children, and their children to the next generation.”

Ps 78:1-4, “Give ear, O my people, to my teaching; incline your ears to the words of my mouth!  …We will not hide them from their children, but tell to the coming generation the glorious deeds of the Lord, and His might, and the wonders that He has done.”

Ephesians 6:4, “Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.”

We will have a theme for you during the BOM this week – and the theme is Family Discipleship.

Family discipleship is telling the coming generation about the character of God – and teaching them His instructions – or, to use F3 language, teaching them to live and lead virtuously.

Each of the Qs this week is going to present one way that can be done.  These are not exclusive of each other – rather, they really complement each other…

This morning, I talked about milestone occasions.  It’s not very often that we get these opportunities…  BIG moments – special times when your words and actions as a father – which are already so powerful – are magnified tenfold again!  Things like;

  • Birthdays
  • First / last day of school year
  • Move homes
  • Buying their first car
  • Profession of faith
  • First breakup with boyfriend / girlfriend
  • Death of a loved one
  • Formative talks (e.g., the sex talk)

These days could come and go like any other – or, with some planning and deliberateness on your part, these could be memorable or even life changing moments in your child’s lifeYou have an awesome opportunity to mark your children and make those occasions like a pillar on the timeline of their lives.

What can you do to make these times deeply meaningful?  Maybe…

  • A well-thought out talk, speaking blessings into their lives.
  • A special gift that reflects the occasion.
  • A trip with just that child.
  • A hand-written letter.
  • Others!

I talked about one way that I’m doing that in my children’s lives.  Every fourth birthday, my sons have received a special gift and a blessing from me.  Each of those birthday blessings is about two paragraphs that I’ve scripted to say exactly what I want to say to them – and it is themed around 2 characteristics that I want my sons to grow to be as men.

We are striving to be men of high-impact.  Where that begins – where we have the MOST IMPACT – and where it is MOST IMPORTANT – is at HOME.

MOLESKIN:

This morning was about discipling your kids by planning for and facilitating meaningful milestones in their lives.  Come back for Part 2 on Wed and Part 3 on Fri!

Learn to do right; seek justice.
Defend the oppressed.[a]
Take up the cause of the fatherless;
plead the case of the widow.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

I hope you are had a good workout. [Use hand to show my modest level of hope]

I hope I have pizza for dinner. [Use hand to show my low level of hope]

I am sure many of you hope UT wins a national championship  [Use hand to show a high level of hope]

I hope that Jesus is the son of God, that his life was pure, perfect and sinless, that his death atoned for my sins, that he overcame death in his resurrection and that he is seated at the right hand of God while his spirit fills my heart and walks with me daily. [Use hand to show my highest level of hope]

Romans 8:18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us. 19 For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God. 20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope 21 that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now. 23 And not only this, but also we ourselves, having the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our body. 24 For in hope we have been saved, but hope that is seen is not hope; for who hopes for what he already sees? 25 But if we hope for what we do not see, with perseverance we wait eagerly for it.

Are your resources of time, money and thought focused on this hope or have you placed your hope elsewhere?

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Reflected about the importance of having a balance in our life and try to plan things in advance to meet our goals. Also commented about over planning, that is the other extreme of the equation, so depending on where we are, we should lean towards one end or the other.
MOLESKIN:
Prayed for our kids and the return to school, our families and dear friends.
