CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I went to a men’s conference two Saturdays ago and wanted to share a summary of what one of the speakers said.

The quote that stuck with me the most was: “Our families need more than a provider, they need a leader that provides.”

Lead with love and lowliness

John 13:1
“Now before the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart out of this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.”

Ephesians 5:25
“Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her,”

John 13:12-14
“When he had washed their feet and put on his outer garments and resumed his place, he said to them, “Do you understand what I have done to you? You call me Teacher and Lord, and you are right, for so I am. If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.”

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
12 PAX
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
How many times have we overlooked all this trash? *gestures to the 12 trash bags we used.* We don’t see it because we are busy with other stuff. Or we do see it and whatever we are doing prevents us from dealing with it. So it is in our lives. The little bits of trash pile up on us if we are not intentional about dealing with it. So let’s roll up our sleeves and get to work.
MOLESKIN:
Important tasks, done consistently over time, have a cumulative effect. Urgent tasks rarely have that effect.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
20th will be some friends giving and helping with the children presents.

1 Thessalonians 5: 11-15

Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in faith you are doing. Now we ask you, brothers and sisters, to acknowledge those who work hard among you, who care for you in the Lord and who admonish you. Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work. Live in peace with each other. And we urge you, brothers and sisters, warn those who are idle and disruptive, encourage the disheartened, help the weak, be patient with everyone. Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always strive to do what is good for each other and for everyone else.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Philippian’s 4:6-7 (NIV)

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. (And when you endeavor to do so, He will bless you with health, prosperous days, and level pathways. He will endear you toward all and long will be your days on earth.) And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

OK, so the part in parenthesis is not actual biblical text.  That part is too often what the world wants us to believe about our relationship with God.  Rather, the last sentence sums it up.  God will protect our heart and our mind so that we may not let the things of this world influence our emotions and our thought.  And peace shall reign forever and ever.

MOLESKIN:

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Acts 2: 42-47:

They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.

MOLESKIN:

Why was the early church in Acts 2 so effective? What traits, characteristics, and actions defined them and drew people in?

  • They gave to all who had a need
  • They were kind, generous, humble and servant hearted
  • They were intentional and deeply committed to one another
  • They gathered in homes, sharing meals, quality time, and friendships
  • They met in public places showing acts of mutual kindness, sharing everything they had, supporting, and taking care of one another.

What is so different with the men of F3? I see the above listed characteristics on display every time I post for a workout at F3…so;

  • Do you tell others about your experiences with F3?
  • Do you hold your friends, family, co-workers accountable to live at a higher standard?
