ANNOUNCEMENTS: We had an FNG two weeks ago who is a teacher at Karns Middle with and F3 name of Jardet. Since then, he has brought two other Karns Middle teachers. This was the first week of school, and he saw a kid wearing an F3 shirt, so he started talking to him. It turns out that it was Cardinal’s son, starting 7th grade at a new school. Jardet did not know the story and when he learned that Cardinal passed, he was sort of embarrassed, but I wanted to tell you guys, that the F3 network is there and looking out for that young man.

-Thursday 4:30 AM OTB at RoCoPark

-Thursday 6PM OTB at Riverfront Park.

-Equalizer flag handoff September 1

-Forg3 retreat September 22-24 $110 per man. If you want to go and can’t afford it let me know. There are a few scholarships available.

COT: And He called the twelve to Himself, and began to send them out two by two, and gave them power over unclean spirits. He commanded them to take nothing for the journey except a staff—no bag, no bread, no copper in their money belts— but to wear sandals, and not to put on two tunics.”
‭‭Mark‬ ‭6‬:‭7‬-‭9‬

Two by two and bare minimum, interesting.

Jesus put them into small teams and gave them nearly no resources to rely on. I think possibly He put them in this position so they would have partners to co-labor with. All of the things they were headed to do would be challenging, and if each man had another to lean on when times got tough each man would have a treasure, a friend he could count on. Also they had no resources as a team. He put them in a position where they would need to have faith for the Father to provide. They consistently saw Jesus leaning on the Father for every task at hand and he wanted to teach them the same by giving them nothing and providing everything they would need for their journey through the hands of the people they would minister to.

Let’s put this into practice in our own lives. We need partners to lean on when our faith is tested, when we need a hand, or someone to point out the sin in our lives. Let’s recognize that the resources we have are provided by the hand of the Father. The gift of salvation we have was bought by the blood of Jesus and given to us. Let us rely on Him for our bread, our copper, and our breath.

Title: Redeeming the Time Wisely

Scripture: Ephesians 5:15-16 (NIV)
“Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.”

Devotion:
In today’s fast-paced world, time is a precious resource that often slips through our fingers without notice. We find ourselves caught in the fast pace of daily responsibilities, distractions, and busyness. However, the Bible provides us with valuable guidance on how to manage our time wisely.

The Apostle Paul, in his letter to the Ephesians, encourages us to be careful in how we live. This caution extends to how we utilize our time. Paul reminds us that we are called to be wise stewards of the time God has given us. Just as we are entrusted with other resources (money, spiritual gifts, etc.), time is a gift from God to be managed intentionally and purposefully.

Paul’s words emphasize two key points:

1. Choose Wisdom Over Foolishness:
Wisdom entails making choices that align with God’s principles and purposes. Instead of being consumed by worldly distractions, we should seek God’s guidance in allocating our time. Wise time management involves prioritizing activities that support our spiritual growth, relationships, and service to others. (What F3 is all about)

2. Make the Most of Every Opportunity:
Time is finite, and opportunities are getting less by the day. We are urged to seize every chance to glorify God and advance His kingdom. This involves recognizing moments for spiritual growth, sharing Christ’s love, and contributing positively to the lives of others.

Consider evaluating your daily routines and habits in light of these principles. Are there areas where you could realign your priorities to reflect God’s wisdom? Are there opportunities to use your time more intentionally for His glory?

Let’s remember that time management isn’t just about increasing productivity; it’s about living purposefully for God’s purposes. By seeking His wisdom, we can transform our days from a hurried rush to a purposeful journey, using each moment to draw closer to Him and impact the world around us.
