ANNOUNCEMENTS:
COT: Shame
– Genesis 3: sin entered the world. Man’s reaction = feel shame, hide, cover up with fig leaves.
– God’s reaction: call man out of shame, cover with skin of animals (sacrificed an animal)
– Jesus: experienced ultimate shame – hanged and killed (naked) on a tree. He not only felt deep shame, but he bore our sin and shame on the tree.
– Our response? If we confess our sin He is faithful and just to cleanse of us all un-righteousness. First, bring shame to God, then talk to other trusted men.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Words are powerful.  God says so.  Throughout the Bible we see a constant theme where gossiping, talking too much, and careless mouths are warned against.  This is something that I struggle with.  It is very easy to get sucked into gossip, especially if it’s true.  But does truth matter when we are using our words to tear someone down? Let’s look at Scripture:

Proverbs 18:21 “The tongue has the power of life and death”

Ephesians 4:29 “Let no unwholesome talk come our of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their deeds, that it may benefit those who listen”

Exodus 23:1 “Do not spread false reports”

James 1:26 “Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues deceive themselves”

Proverbs 10:19 “Sin is not ended by multiplying words, but the prudent hold their tongues”

Proverbs 11:9 “With their mouths the godless destroy their neighbors”

Proverbs 16:28 “A perverse person stirs up conflict”

Psalm 141:3 “Set a guard over my mouth, Lord; keep watch over the door of my lips”

As you can see, the Lord treats our words and the intent behind them very seriously, even if what we are saying is true.  I would encourage each of you to consider your words wisely, use them to build others up (even if we “feel” they deserve to be torn down).  There is a lot of wisdom in keeping our mouths shut, living a quiet existence and letting our actions speak for us.  There have been so many times in my 39 years I’ve wished I could take something I said back.  Be mindful of what you speak and learn to tame the tongue.

JUCO Slaughterhouse II- Veterans’ Day Special

Side Straddle Hops x 10

Windmill x 10

Cherry Pickers x 10

  • Mosey back to AO, complete side crunches to run out the clock.

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.

23 with 1 FNG.
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Matthew 7:15-24 – I won’t repeat all of those verses here, but please read them all. V. 15 “Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves.” v. 22, 23 “Many will say to Me on the day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.'”

Those “works” all sound like great things, but Jesus says he will claim “I never knew you…”.  Our God wants pure love from His children.  He is not satisfied with those who only put on a facade and may look like His followers, but inwardly are “ravenous wolves”, “bad fruit”, and will be “tossed in the fire”.  A checklist mentality is not satisfactory.  Jesus condemned the Pharisees time and time again for living like that and not having an actual love for God.  They were very sell-serving.  There is a reason Jesus says the greatest command is to “Love God with all your heart, soul, and mind”. Matthew 22:37-38
MOLESKIN:
Welcome to our FNG, Todd Busch soon to be renamed.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
23 HIMs met in the gloom to kick off the week at JUCO. We had two more FNGs today. Welcome Kevin Hanson (Sergeant Slaughter) and Woody Huguley (Bambi)!
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Even Jesus, being perfect in every way, faced rejection multiple times throughout his time on Earth. His reaction was always to continue soldiering on in the work of the Lord. We will all face rejection at some point in our lives. How we react to that rejection is what matters. Be like Christ and use rejection as a teaching moment and continue doing God’s work.

MOLESKIN:

There must be something in the water here at JUCO as we have grown our numbers exponentially in the last month. Let’s keep this ball rolling! Keep inviting FNGs to come out and get better. Reach out to those HIMs who have been absent and encourage them.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
A JUCO shirt order should be posted in the GroupMe soon. Shirts are only ordered in bulk, so if you want one, get on it.
