CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
“Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect. For through the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound judgment, as God has allotted to each a measure of faith.”-Romans 12:1‭-‬3 NASB1995

We are not to give in to desires of the flesh. This is what the world does, but we are called to be different…transformed in fact. One way in which to do this is to not think too highly of ourselves. Arrogance and selfishness are two terrible characteristics to have. Everyone struggles with these. Instead remember to humble yourself in the sight of the Lord and He will lift you up. James 4:10

MOLESKIN:
Way to push through this morning. Burpees can be tough, but they will make you stronger if you keep doing them.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Galatians 6:2 – Share each other’s burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ.

Two things to think about on this verse. 1 – Don’t be afraid to ask for help from others when you need it. 2 – Step up and help people without them having to ask. How often do we tell someone, “Let me know if you need anything!” and how often do they actually ask for anything? Be proactive in helping others and don’t be too proud to ask for help yourself. In this way, we fulfill/obey the law of Christ.

THA-THANG:

We played “Encantados”. We divided in two teams, the objective was to capture all the other team members in less than 5 mins. If you get caught, then you will do 20 merkins and 20 squats. If all your team is captured, the whole team will do 20 burpees as punishment :). We had a lot of fun and it was really hard to chase some of the fellas, they were expert dodgers :).

We mosey to the soccer fields, but on our way we performed some fun exercises:

  • 20 box jumps.
  • 20 Derkins.
  • 20 Toe Merkins.
  • 20 Dips.
  • 20 BBS.
  • 20 Heels to Heaven.

At the soccer field we played some penalty kicks. We regrouped again in teams, if the team scored, they would decide what exercise the other team would do and it would be repeated 20 times. We ended up doing the exercises all together since the our team was not that expert with the ball :).

Mosey to the Flag and 20 more squats.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Our words have power.  Specifically, as a father and as a husband, your words have more power than you can imagine. Your children, and mine, will grow up believing the words they hear us speak to them.

When it comes to the words you speak over your family – be gracious, be careful.

We can use this power irresponsibly…

Proverbs 12:18 – The words of the reckless pierce like swords

Proverbs 15:4 – a deceitful tongue crushes the spirit.

Proverbs 11:17 – you destroy yourself when you are cruel.

…or we can use that awesome power to build-up, to create, to restore, to empower

Proverbs 16:24 – Kind words are like honey— sweet to the soul and healthy for the body.

Proverbs 11:17 – Your own soul is nourished when you are kind

Proverbs 12:18 – the tongue of the wise brings healing.

Proverbs 15:4 – Gentle words are a tree of life;

Proverbs 18:21 – The tongue has the power of life and death,

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

MOLESKIN:

Let’s do this again in a few months and see if we are getting measurably stronger.  Here is the rep count today – next time we do this, beat your score!
