COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Be humble with your giving and your prayer. Do not use the good things you do to brag, but use that as motivation to do more.

In Matthew 6 –

Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.

And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then you Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

Matthew 7:7 – Ask, and it will be given. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and the door will open

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
As YHC have done F3 for 2 years now, I got into MY COMFORT zone with the Knoxville AOs. When Alcoa started, I thought it was great but selfishly wanted to stay at the AOs I was used to attending. I was open minded but still selfish about Alcoa started and it was out of my comfort zone because I did not know anyone except 1 or 2 guys. I cant tell you how glad I am for getting out of my comfort zone and getting to know the men of the Bombshelter. More or less, its a great example of getting out of your comfort zone. In reality to grow inside and out, we need to be out of our COMFORT ZONE most of the time. Everybody in F3 rocks and honored to be a part of F3! AYE
MOLESKIN:
Well, by asking Hammy to lead us in an exercise, Hammy got out of his comfort zone and is now ready to Q!!

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
Largest gathering of HIMs in the Knoxville area this morning: 10 strong!
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Not so wordy this morning to avoid becoming a sweatcicle.  As we start this year, remember Paul’s words in Philippians 3:13: “Forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.”  We all want to forget the bad parts of the past, but Paul here is not talking about that.  He just got done listing all of his own accomplishments done in the flesh, and how they are not of worth.  Don’t rest on things you’ve done.  Forget that past as well, and press forward for His calling!
MOLESKIN:
Coldest day of the year was no problem for these guys.  Killed it hard.  Icicles were forming on beards from breath condensation, but everyone was sweating by the end.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Always looking forward, not about where you were or what you have done, but where are you going and what more will you accomplish?

Isaiah 43:18-19
Forget what happen long ago! Don’t think about the past. I am creating something new. There it is! Do you see it?…

Philippians 3:12-16
I have not yet reached my goal, and I am not perfect. But Christ has taken hold of me. So I keep on running and struggling to take hold of the prize. My friends, I don’t feel I have already arrived. But I forget what is behind, and I struggle for what is ahead. I run toward the goal, so I can win the prize of being called to heaven. This is the prize God offers because of what Christ Jesus has done. All of us who are mature should think in the same way. And if any of you think differently, God will make it clear to you. But we must keep going in the direction that we are now headed.
