Shared Hebrews 12: 1-2. We need to put aside our weight and our sin and run the race of endurance. This is tough as we all know, life can be difficult. However, we have a Savior in Christ to look to for help, guidance and rest. We also have his word, prayer, praise and each other. We as brothers, as a Band of Brothers can support, encourage and lift up each other.

COT:
Remembering doesn’t work like we want. We like the computer kind of memory where we just put it in, then we can get it back exactly the same whenever we like. But we remember some things and forget others. Why? Are there different ways to remember? How do I remember what is important?
Because we aren’t computers, we have developed methods of remembering. Though the words ritual, liturgy, and tradition aren’t much in vogue, they are a powerful means to remember well. A ritual provides repetition, ingraining that which you repeat. Liturgy acts out a story, activating many senses in an experience that sticks better than a fact. Tradition filters the multiplicity of that which might be remembered and holds dearly to that which ought to be remembered.
These things are on my mind as we approach Holy Week, in which Christians use these tools to relive and reinforce what we believe is the fundamental truth of the universe. But the approach applies across the spectrum of life, and you should use them to prioritize the things that fill your mind.

COT:

I ran this Q one year ago and shared this Word. I think it is worth sharing again.

I’ve been reading the Gospel of John and it has led me to reflect on my namesake, Andrew’s, role. Andrew is never considered one of the “main” disciples and is not mentioned nearly as much in the Gospels or the New Testament as Peter, James, John, or even Judas. However, the Gospels tell us he did some incredibly important things:

1. He was the first disciple called by Jesus.
2. He was a disciple of John the Baptist before John points him to Jesus.
3. He brought his brother Peter to Jesus.
4. He was a fisherman with Peter.
5. He brought the boy with the loaves and fish to Jesus so he could feed the 5,000.
6. He was the first disciple to claim Jesus was the Messiah.

Through these scattered and limited accounts of Andrew, we can draw a few conclusions:

1. He was seeking God — already a disciple of John the Baptist
2. He was a man of work — fisherman
3. He showed up — likely one of the main reasons he was called first by Jesus; he was there
4. When he saw the Truth, he spoke it — claiming Jesus was the Messiah
5. Perhaps most importantly, he brought people to Jesus. The Gospel of John tells us that he brought both his brother Peter and the boy with the food to Jesus and Jesus worked miracles through them both.

If we could simply do what Andrew did, what awesome legacy could we leave behind? Seek God, put in the work, be where you need to be, speak the Truth, and bring others to Jesus.

This month, billions of people around the world will celebrate the birth of a Jewish baby in a town in a land that they don’t think Jews lived in before 1948.

The current conflict (and past and future ones) were foretold in Genesis to Abraham by God. He promised that the decedents of his 2 sons would fight until the end times.
