CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
We aren’t called to carry the burdens of life alone. Galatians 6:2 “Carry one another’s burdens; in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.”

The sandbag in the workout represented the burdens we may carry. Started the workout letting the men know that it was all of our responsibilities to make sure that sandbag reached the finished line. This was not about being the first to complete the circuit. If we saw someone struggling, help them. That may even mean that we carry it for them.

In life we may have opportunity to come along those who are struggling. We should see that as an opportunity to show Christ’s love by bearing that burden with them or for them. We may also be the recipient of that at some point in out lives.

Look for opportunity!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Today is Yom Kippur- The Day of Atonement.

Recap of the significance of this day and the ritual animal sacrifices that went with it.  Yet Christ’s blood offers cleansing far greater than the blood of any animal ever could.

“Under the old system, the high priest brought the blood of animals into the Holy Place as a sacrifice for sin, and the bodies of the animals were burned outside the camp. So also Jesus suffered and died outside the city gates to make his people holy by means of his own blood. So let us go out to him, outside the camp, and bear the disgrace he bore. For this world is not our permanent home; we are looking forward to a home yet to come.”

Hebrews 13:11‭-‬14

MOLESKIN:

To be a leader like Jesus, we must let love motivate all we do. We must move toward need, not comfort. We must be willing to go “outside the camp” with Him even if it means suffering and disgrace. We must make things right with others and with God while we still have the chance.
