CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

God Initiates and so should we to get better physically, spiritually, and relationally.

It has been often said that the chief sin of Man is the sin of passivity.  We can be like Adam and standby and allow sin and separation to occur.  We busy ourselves with the material world while disengaging relationally or emotionally from what is going on in and around us.  We don’t have to be in great shape to show up to F3 and get better.  All we have to do is set the alarm, show up, and work hard.   Are there places in our lives relationally where we have avoided discussions because they are hard or uncomfortable?  We don’t have to have all the right answers we just need to initiate and step in where we know God is calling us.  Don’t be silent like Adam.  Step up an be the leader that God has called you to be.

MOLESKIN:
Prayers for the students family and friends that lost his life on campus due to alcohol poisoning.  Praying that those effected would be impacted in a positive way through the other students seeking to meet them where they are and share the Gospel.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

43 strong this morning – No FNG’s

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Be content with the gifts and blessings that God grants you. We all fall into the trap of wanting more…..just a little more money, a little bigger house, a nicer vehicle, just a little more time, a little more grace from our spouses. The bottom line, though, is that no matter how much “more” we have in terms of worldly possessions, it will never provide the fulfillment and joy that we are seeking. No matter how much “better” our circumstances become, we will never be satisfied. We must avoid the temptation to keep wanting more, and instead, be content and thankful for everything that God has already given to us.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

“for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.”

‭‭1 Timothy‬ ‭4:8‬ ‭ESV‬‬

http://bible.com/59/1ti.4.8.esv

We are saved by grace, but we should be just as (or more) intentional towards growing in Godliness as we are towards growing in physical fitness. This doesn’t mean start fartsacking more often. It means learn from how you are able to focus on physical fitness, to stop fartsacking on your relationship with God.

MOLESKIN:

The guys worked hard this morning. 21s on the bench pull-ups was a little much but they pushed through it.
