Hall of Faith- Hebrews 11
It’s not a Hall of Fame, but a Hall of Faith. There’s alot of sports talk about who should be in various Halls of Fame. As a Reds fan I ponder Pete Rose and if he should be in the MLB Hall of Fame.
The Hall of Faith guys and gals are much better though. I am especially inspired by Abraham. God called him to leave his home and even sacrifice his son Isaac. How did Abraham respond? He obeyed in faith. What is God calling us to that might be difficult to do? “Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” Let us go deeper in our faith in the Lord.

COT:
Show and Tell with Steam: New tat: “Temporary sacrifice for the greater good.”

3 components to this:
– Time: You have a specific # of days of life, no more no less. There’s nothing you can do to add to those days or subtract from them. Time is also the only non-renewable resource.
– Sacrifice: There are opportunities everyday to sacrifice things for the ones you love (big and small things). What are you willing to sacrifice for the things you love?
– Greater Good: What sacrifices are you willing to make for the greater good? Who or what is the greater good for you?

Here’s the peak of temporary sacrifice for the greater good: God sending his son to die and take our place on the cross so we could be redeemed and have access to our Heavenly Father. It was a temporary sacrifice for the greater good. The greater good? Us. God’s immense love for us activated this temporary sacrifice.

So here’s a takeaway – think about how you can live out temporary sacrifice in your life today, this week, this month, and this year.

COT:

I did not know Cardinal, but have heard he was kind, generous with what he had and a loving individual. Why he was chosen to leave us in such a way is beyond the understanding of everyone standing here tonight. All I know is he was not granted the opportunity to tell his own story after that sad day nearly a year ago.

DO NOT take one second in this life for granted. We are not guaranteed one more split second on this earth. Nobody is promising us one last laugh with friends, nor one more hug from a loved one. Appreciate the gift all of us have that Cardinal was not given. Go enjoy that gift. Be kind, be generous (whether it is with time or money), show love over hate, be a light in others lives and not darkness. Choose to live a life of enjoyment over disappointment and sadness. There is so much good in this world. Seek it out and shun the bad. It IS a choice we all make every conscious minute we are blessed to experience. High Heels the other day said this is the best AO he has experienced in all his travels and said it may be due to the 2nd F efforts, and while I thoroughly enjoy our 2nd F excursions, I think there may be a bit more to it. Do you think it also may have something to do with the positive and kind influencers we have surrounding us every time we step into this circle? I don’t just think that….I know it. We are a special group, and I couldn’t be more proud to share with others I am a part of it.
