CoT :
Jesus said come to me all you who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest…I trust the man who died for me and then brought himself back to life

What weighs on us in life? any number of problems in life: family, work, health, relationships, addictions, debt, inadequacy, pressure to lead a family. Your burden is different from mine, but we all have burdens.

How do we bring these to Jesus?

Psalm 13
“How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and day after day have sorrow in my heart? How long will my enemy triumph over me?

Look on me and answer, Lord my God. Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death, and my enemy will say, “I have overcome him,” and my foes will rejoice when I fall.

But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. I will sing the Lord’s praise, for he has been good to me.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭13‬:‭1‬-‭6‬ ‭NIV‬‬

We carried heavy things today. I repurposed some statues that VOODOO kindly gave to me as a house warming gift. We marked out 1/10 of a mile around a parking area, and performed the following exercises while we carried the saints.
The goal was to start on opposite ends and carry items until you pass the other team.

Divide into two teams. Position each team on the opposite side of a loop. 1/10 mile
Carry the saint and a CMU with one team member while the remainer works through a list of exercises
Swap at every lap

The game ends when one team passes the other team

Grab a CMU and rotate through these exercises
Do them until your player gets back, they are the timer
Every 5 exercises performed meant we added weight, and by round three the weight was near 100lbs.

For the COT we discussed Mary Magdalen getting up early and being a spectator to the stone being rolled away from the tomb that denotes Easter and the resurrection of Jesus. She got up and went to the tomb and as a result, she was able to witness history. That stone was moving that day whether she was there or not. I think we can all apply this to our lives in some way. Events and good things are happening all around us, even at F3. These things will be there whether we attend or not, and it is up to us to be a part of things, or be present within our family. An example is tonight with Haw Ridge, or the upcoming GTE. I have serious FOMO about both events that I can’t fully attend. Great things will transpire and I am going to miss them. You have a choice, and if you can find a way to make these events happen, I am telling you that these are potentially life changing opportunities that you don’t want to miss. Maybe not stone rolling away from the tomb opportunities, but life changing non the less.

Word
“We are men of action. Lies do not become us.”
Who do we lie to? Others? Ourselves? Our God?

One way we lie to all three is by pretending we will live forever.
Think of your legacy. What do you picture? Money? A business? Heirlooms or possessions?
Which of these will survive 10 years? 20 years? 50? 100? Eternity?

Steve Jobs was one of the most influential people in the world while he lived and continues to be. However, within months of his death, Apple released a product he said they’d never make: the iPad Mini.

Do not lie to yourself and pretend that your material work will leave a legacy for your family. The only true legacy we can leave is by passing our values from the Word of God to others in our lives. The disciples we make will outlive us way longer than any work of our hands.

COT:
Zombies on Easter!
Mathew 27:50 Then Jesus shouted out again, and he released his spirit. 51 At that moment the curtain in the sanctuary of the Temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. The earth shook, rocks split apart, 52 and tombs opened. The bodies of many godly men and women who had died were raised from the dead. 53 They left the cemetery after Jesus’ resurrection, went into the holy city of Jerusalem, and appeared to many people.

Is there a part of your spirit that is dead? Your prayer life? Your ability/desire to forgive? Your compassion for people who are disadvantaged? Your leadership role over your family? Your contentment? If so, what better way to commemorate the original Good Friday than to let Jesus resurrect that part of you and make it come alive again….TODAY!
