F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:
10 ct cherry picker, 10 ct Moroccan night club/little baby arm circles (sort of) get your CMU and mosey to the big lot

THA-THANG:

The 2nd Monthly “JUCO 1500” performed in the big parking lot, the backside of campus.  each station was a parking space. The bear crawls, lunges and cmu mosey were all from line to line from one end of the lot to the other. If all 5 rds were performed the total reps would equal 1500 and the total distance would be approximately 1.5 miles. Below is a link to the spreadsheet to enter your reps if you’re interested in keeping count and tracking your improvement. I’ll be glad to enter your # for you as well if you want to send it to me. If you don’t care that’s okay also.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

 

I spoke briefly about the power of prayer and shared about how praying out loud and together very specifically about a situation has resulted in a very specific response. a few verses to support this are below.

James 5:16 New International Version (NIV)

16 Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.

Philippians 4:6 New International Version (NIV)

6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Isaiah 54:10 – “For the mountains may depart and the hills may be removed, but my steadfast love shall not depart from you, and my convenient of peace shall not be removed”.

As we go through each day with distractions, sporting events, kids, work, trials and temptations, etc…. we can find ourselves at the end of the week exhausted and looking back we did not spend anytime growing in our faith with the Lord.  Things will fade away, but have the reminder that God is a constant steadfast love that will never go away.  Set time aside to build others up and grow your faith each week.

MOLESKIN:
Pray for Booster’s daughter.

How do you know the will of God?

Ephesians 4:25-32
Paul gives some guidelines on how we should act, ie things we should or should not do.  Scripture defines how we should act so that through prayer we can be more in tune with God.  If we don’t do the simple things listed in scripture., how can we expect big things from God?

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
“Greater love hath no man that to lay down his life for a friend”, many have made that sacrifice, but it sucks for everyone involved. I pray that none of you are ever put into that type of situation. “Husbands, love your wives as Christ loved the church”- we’re not getting nailed to a cross for them, so how do we love them? Visit 1 Corinthians 13- Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful…” If someone asked your wife to describe you, in full honesty, would patient and kind be the first words out of her mouth? Honestly, I’d be 0 for 9 on that list. As HIMs, we need to strive to be better at love, toward our neighbor, our family, our friends. We need to bring peace with us wherever we walk, not chaos. Walk into your home, your work, your church, your life, prepared to be humble and peaceful.

The Word:  Romans 7:18-25 – Released From the Law, Bound to Christ – Pauls submission to Christ

For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. 19 For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. 20 Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it. 21 So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. 22 For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; 23 but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me. 24 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death? 25 Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!

The 1st time that I truly heard this passage was about 3 years ago when I was a part of a group at church called Strong Hearts.  

I’m so thankful that Paul wrote this because we have all been there. We are cruising along in our Christian lives and then we fail. Then we feel the guilt pile on us.(Verse 24) We failed our father. (Verse 25) Our saving grace. Thankful that one of the great superheroes of the Bible laid it all out and admitted his struggles for an example for us.
