ANNOUNCEMENTS:

COT:
”Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior. Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.“
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭31‬-‭32‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Unforgiveness is a tomb that we bury ourselves in.

If you harbor unforgiveness in your heart, you have limited love.

Oh yeah, have you forgiven yourself? Regret is an anchor ⚓️ you can let go of.

Radical forgiveness gives you resurrection power! What did Jesus say from the cross, “Father forgive them…”

Surround yourself with men that will call you forward. Men that will hold you accountable.

Thank you :pray:

[running] OTB run on the knoxville half course

AO: running
Q: Mermaid
PAX: Toretto, Anchorman, Erector, Honeydew, Mermaid
FNGs: None
COUNT: 5
We met this morning to show Toretto more of the Knoxville Half course to help him get some knowledge for the April half (his first). Erector did mile repeats around us, and with the hills that we tackled today, our pace was a little slower than normal. That could also be a week of tough workouts and not feeling fresh.

We welcome anyone and any pace! If you or anyone you know wants to jump in on the OTB running group, we run most Saturday’s generally for one hour. Spread the word and help some guys get into running or help others connect to a group!

Our Blessing

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Escape from Haw Ridge on April 5th.
COT: We are, in general, a very blessed nation. Oftentimes, we do not count our blessings from God, and we take them for granted. At church, we sing a song “Count your blessings, name them one by one.” We need to remember to be grateful for all of our blessings, but this morning, I want to mention one blessing in particular that we especially shouldn’t take for granted: our wives. Proverbs 31 contains a description of a wife’s worthiness. In particular, verse 10 tells of her worth. “Her worth is far above jewels.” Our wives are a treasure that is far above value. If you are anything like me, you probably don’t tell her this often enough. She needs to know! There are far too many marriages that end for many reasons. Don’t let lack of appreciation for all she does be a reason for strife in your marriages.

COT:
Scripture: “Put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, and be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.” – Ephesians 4:22-24

Christian men are called to a life of constant improvement, leaving behind our old selves and embracing the new.
This is not merely a one-time act, but a daily decision to put off our old habits and mindsets and to put on the new, reflecting the image of God in true righteousness and holiness.
The old self, which we are called to put off, refers to our former way of life, corrupted by deceitful desires. These desires can lead us astray, causing us to act in ways that do not align with God’s will.
As men of God, we must recognize and confront these desires, turning away from temptation and towards the path of righteousness. Putting on the new self, created in the likeness of God, means allowing the Holy Spirit to transform our minds and hearts, leading us to live more like Jesus.
This process of renewal begins with a commitment to constant improvement, seeking God’s guidance and direction in every aspect of our lives.

As we strive for constant improvement, remember that this is not a solo endeavor. We are called to support and encourage one another, building each other up in love and accountability. Let us be examples of godly men, walking in the light and reflecting the love and grace of our heavenly Father.

**One practical challenge to KEEP GETTING BETTER: Keep AT LEAST one day on the Q calendar at all times. Commit to leading men in the gloom.**

In conclusion, let us heed the call to put off the old self and put on the new, embracing a life of constant improvement. Let us seek God’s guidance and support one another in this sacred journey, as we grow more like Jesus and reflect His image in our daily lives.
