COT:
Ecclesiastes 4:9, 10, and 11
Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: if either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up. Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.

This is a wisdom from Solomon. We need each other and everything is better when we do it together.

COT:
Reflecting on Sacrifice:
Jesus taught, “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends..” John 15:13 This verse echoes the selflessness of those who have served and reminds us of Christ’s ultimate sacrifice.

Comfort in Grief:
For those mourning the loss of loved ones, Psalm 34:18 offers solace: “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” In our sorrow, God draws near, providing comfort and peace.

Hope in Eternity:
As we remember the fallen, we find hope in the promise of eternal life. 1 Thessalonians 4:14 assures us: “For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.”

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

COT:I don’t know about you, but I tend to not think enough about how blessed I am. There is so much to be thankful for: our families, our friends, our jobs, or F3 brothers! There are many in this world that do not share the same blessings in life. We need to be thankful!
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 NASB1995
“[16] Rejoice always; [17] pray without ceasing; [18] in everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”
We need to be thankful in all things.
Ephesians 1:3-5 NASB1995
“[3] Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, [4] just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him. In love [5] He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will,”
God has blessed us with access to immeasurable spiritual blessings through His Son.
James 1:17 NASB1995
“[17] Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow.”
Let’s remember to give thanks to God for what we have!

COT:
“Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.”
— Romans 12:1 (NIV)

ALL IN:
In the game of poker, going “all in” is a bold move—a decision to risk everything on a single hand. It’s a moment of full commitment, where the player places all their chips into the pot, trusting in the strength of their cards. This concept can serve as a powerful metaphor for our faith journey.

As Christians, we’ve been dealt a “royal flush” through the grace and sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

Yet, many of us hesitate to go “all in” with our faith. We might hold back, offering only a portion of ourselves to God, rather than surrendering fully to His will. This partial commitment can limit our spiritual growth and the impact we have in the world.

Romans 12:1 calls us to present our bodies as living sacrifices—holy and pleasing to God. This means dedicating every aspect of our lives—our time, talents, resources, and relationships—to His service. It’s about living with intentionality, aligning our actions with our faith, and trusting that God will use our full commitment for His glory.

Challenge:
Consider areas in your life where you may be holding back from fully committing to God. Are there dreams, relationships, habits or hobbies that you haven’t surrendered to Him? Reflect on the assurance that, unlike a poker game, when we go “all in” with God, we can’t lose—because He is in control and His plans for us are good.
