CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Has it ever occurred to you, that nothing occurs to God? Nothing takes God by surprise. No matter what happens or is happening in your life, it is not new to God. Sometimes trusting is hard. Sometimes it is a blind leap of faith. We aren’t meant to know everything. We aren’t meant to know why God does what he does. Sometimes he may be using you for someone else. Sometimes god may take something from you, to give you something better. and sometimes, we may never know why God does what he does. But it is our job as believer to know and trust in the lord. No matter how rough the waters get, and how dark the night may become. God is holding a light and he is going to take care of us.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Ephesians 3:14-21 NKJV

“For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.”

God gives us some units of measure for His love in this text. He says there is a width, length, depth, and height, and Paul prays that we are able to comprehend those measurements. I ask you, if you had to measure it, what is the width of Gods love? Infinite. The length? Infinite. The depth? Infinite. The height? Infinite. Can we comprehend infinite? No, but God can, and when we are saved God through the Holy Spirit comes to dwell within us. Paul prays that we re filled with ALL that fullness of God. The infinite, omnipotent, omnipresent, Holy God of creation dwells within us. Gentlemen, we have access to that width, length, depth, and height of Gods love. Let us show our spouses, children, parents, and neighbors that love this week. Amen?

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Good job testing yourself men. It’s good to know where you stand physically.

It’s also good to think about your spiritual life in the same way. We need to look at our current state, and compare to our past self.

In 2 Corinthians 13:5 says “Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified.”

Examine yourself, your true self, not the self you show others or the you at church. The self when you are alone. Look at that man in the mirror and test him. L

We should not just rely on our feelings that w me are saved. We need to look at the evidence. So how do you examine yourselves, what is the evidence? We must compare ourselves to scripture. What does the Bible say that Saved people should be?

Examples:

Galatians 5:22-23

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

Matthew 16:24

Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.

Jesus told Nicodemus that you must be born again. Have you been born of the spirit?

“If you know that he is righteous, you may be sure that everyone who practices righteousness has been born of him.” – 1 John 2:29

I am not suggesting that you may have lost your salvation. I’m saying examine your salvation to be sure that you aren’t relying on the words of a preacher, or your parents telling you that you were saved and baptized as a child. We should be able to say the reason that I know I am saved is because I walk with Christ. I know Him. He is my friend that sticks closer than a brother. He is my comfort, He is my foundation and upon Him I lay everything.

“Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified.”

MOLESKIN:
Welcome to FNG – Lucille, also had 2.0 Iron Chef in the house.

Continue relying on The Lord for healing as we mourn the loss of our brother, continue leaning on each other. Reach out to a brother today.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

YHC has a medical condition that require a strict diet. Generally, one does not notice how sick they are until they get healthy get healthy. Tons of very small day-to-day choices add up to gradually feeling worse and worse.

Which leads YHC to the following question:

What if Lex Luthor didn’t try to kill Superman with a large load of kryptonite? What if he just sprinkled a little bit in his cereal every morning? That hat would make Superman feel just a little bit off all the time. He’d eventually get used to that feeling after a while and accept it as a new normal. Without killing Superman, Lex Luthor could gradually and subtly reduce him to a mere man.

Where in your life are you compromising? Where in your life do you need more discipline? Where are you sprinkling just enough kryptonite in your life to keep you from being the man you’re meant to be?

Energy kryptonite – What zaps your energy during the day little by little?

Work/productivity kryptonite – What you wrote you for being a productive contributor?

Moral kryptonite – What are the erodes your moral principles?

Faith kryptonite – What erodes your connection with God?

Love kryptonite – What the roads your connections with other people?

We know the power of tiny habits in the positive sense. What are the tiny habits in your life that are slowly reducing you to less than you should be that need to go?

1 Peter 5:8-9
8 Discipline yourselves; keep alert. Like a roaring lion your adversary the devil prowls around, looking for someone to devour. 9 Resist him, steadfast in your faith, for you know that your brothers and sisters in all the world are undergoing the same kinds of suffering.

MOLESKIN:
For those counting, if you finished the 11s at K25, you have completed 55 burpees.
