“Lift me to the light “”
“”Through the roof they broke “”
“”Faithful hands of love “”
“”In each word they spoke “”
“”Jesus sees my pain “”
“”His touch divine embrace “”
“”Lift me to the light “”
“”Heal me by his grace “”

“”Above the crowd, they climbed with might””
“”Through the ceiling, piercing night “”
“”Lowered down, my soul exposed “”
“”Before the one who loves the most””

“”Now I walk, my spirit free””
“”With grateful heart, on bended knee””
“”Friends who carried me that night””
“”Together, we are lifted to the light”
This is referring to Mark 2:3-11, where these men tear through the roof to lower their friend to be healed by Jesus.
“’When he entered Capernaum again after some days, it was reported that he was at home. So many people gathered together that there was no more room, not even in the doorway, and he was speaking the word to them. They came to him bringing a paralytic, carried by four of them. Since they were not able to bring him to Jesus because of the crowd, they removed the roof above him, and after digging through it, they lowered the mat on which the paralytic was lying. Seeing their faith, Jesus told the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.” But some of the scribes were sitting there, questioning in their hearts: “Why does he speak like this? He’s blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone? ” Right away Jesus perceived in his spirit that they were thinking like this within themselves and said to them, “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts? Which is easier: to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up, take your mat, and walk’? But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins” #— #he told the paralytic — “I tell you: get up, take your mat, and go home.” Immediately he got up, took the mat, and went out in front of everyone. As a result, they were all astounded and gave glory to God, saying, “We have never seen anything like this! ””- Mark 2:1-12

COT: We talked about how we all make mistakes… even Albert Einstein!– but negative reinforcement can be a bit toxic, especially if the bulk of someone’s effort is excellent. Don’t let negative comments be the only feedback you give to people. Positive reinforcement can be much more motivating.
POINT #1 of the BOM: don’t keep the fear of making a mistake keep you from trying something, but…
POINT #2 of the BOM: don’t let negative feedback be the only feedback you give someone. Don’t take for granted all the good things they’ve done, whether it’s your spouse, co-worker, etc. Praise them for that. Don’t just correct them when they make mistakes.

Message

The Lord Will Provide

James 1:17 “Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights.”

Genesis 22:14 “So Abraham called that place The Lord Will Provide. And to this day it is said, ‘On the mountain of the Lord it will be provided.’”

Malachi 3:10 “Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse… Test me in this, says the Lord Almighty, and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven.”

As HIMs, we are charged to do good for others. Sometimes, in our everyday lives and amongst the battles we ourselves face, we forget that charge. Yet, I think all of us at times do try with great effort to help others. And, we see positive impacts such as the improvement in the conditions of Lakeshore Park when so many F3 brothers came out with chain saws and willing hands to cut up fallen trees and clear tree wreckage after the horrible winds and tornadoes of several summers ago. Such as the when many of us spend a Saturday working to paint and beautify the Cerebral Palsy Center and received such thanks from the staff there who were amazed at what we accomplished. And, such as the gratitude of our brother, Backflow, when we collected over $400 to help he and his wife with the recent birth of their baby or the gratitude of our brother, Jenner, when we gave him that copy of the trivia book that we purchased for him and signed.

But what happens when our efforts seen to fall short? The needs of this world are so great. We beautified the Cerebral Palsy Center but this one small region in our nation still has so many that suffer from that horrible disease. Poverty is abundant in Knoxville and in the United States, the richest nation in the world, no matter how much time or money we give to charities. How can we help so many in pain when there seems to be no answers and we fall short of giving those what they need? Because, God will provide. We must have faith in that. God is in control. He asks us to give generously, as that is part of his plan. And in that giving, we must trust in God to do the rest, whether here on earth or in heaven. Our giving is not in vain. So, let us do what we can and give with glad hearts, looking to the Mountain of God and knowing that He Will Provide.

Prayers

Prayers for Lizzy whose brother died in the past year, whose father-in-law has terminal cancer and whose stepbrother recently died. Prayers for Jenner in his continuing recovery from a stroke. Prayers of praise for Matlock’s teenage nephew, Jonathan, who has not had seizures in over 6 months. He, therefore, is able to drive a car now and work the high parts of the stage as stage crew team member at his high school.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Escape from Haw Ridge 3/28, Hardship Hill 5/17

COT:
As a kid in the late 80s, I believed Shawon Dunston was the greatest shortstop in baseball. The only channel in my hometown showing baseball consistently was WGN, so when I formed my opinion on shortstops, Shawon Dunston was all I knew. I made the decision with all the data I had at the time.
Over the summer, when I started getting dropped off at the babysitter at like 6:30am, and I watched ESPN Sports Center on repeat for hours. With that, I gained new information, like Barry Larkin, Ozzie Smith, and Alan Trammel. New evidence challenged my opinion.

I remember thinking, even as a kid, that I couldn’t change my opinion. I had previously told everyone that Dunston was the best, so what would they think if I changed what I’d been saying? Also, I remember feeling that if I could be wrong about Dunston, what else could I have been wrong about?

When you form an opinion or make a decision, you do so with all the information you have at the time. But, we should recognize that we all do so with incomplete data. Over time, as you learn more information, you should use it and re-examine your opinion or decision. That can be hard, because there are social pressures that come changing what you’ve said, and personal stress of questioning what you’ve believed to be true.
Adam Grant write a book called “Think Again”, which gets into this concept at a deeper level than baseball players, so I encourage everyone to give it a read, or at least find a YouTube summary of the book. www.barnesandnoble.com/w/think-again-adam-grant/1137570667;jsessionid=9D0766EB363B1AD226CA5CB402E75340.prodny_store02-atgap16?ean=9780143138525
