Walking in the Light

[5] This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. [6] If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. [7] But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. [8] If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. [9] If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. [10] If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. (ESV)

Sin grows in the darkness.  A lot of people are isolated and alone.  Let’s walk in the light.  Let’s bring sin to the light so it can forgiven in Christ, so we can have fellowship with one another, and so that we can grow in holiness.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
“Now Thomas, one of the twelve, called the Twin, was not with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said to them, “Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and place my finger into the mark of the nails, and place my hand into his side, I will never believe.” Eight days later, his disciples were inside again, and Thomas was with them. Although the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side. Do not disbelieve, but believe.” Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!””

Now that the Michael Jordan documentary is coming out, a common occurrence is that young people that were arguing that Lebron James (or some other current player) was the greatest of all time is watching the highlights of Jordan’s career and turns to the older basketball fans to say, “yeah Jordan is the greatest of all time”. Seeing Jordan’s highlights has brought peace to the young and old basketball fans.

Seeing Jesus’ wounds brings peace to all. It is evidence that God loves us. In this time when there is much unrest in the world. Reflect on this truth that we have peace through Jesus.

6 HIMs made it out this morning

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Mark 12 – love others as yourself

How well do you love yourself?

Do you offer yourself grace when you fail or do you hold yourself to an impossible standard?

Does your self-talk build you up or does it tear you down?

Are you critical or encouraging?

Bottom line: if you loved others the way you love yourself, would they be better for it? If not, maybe it’s time for us to re-evaluate how well we are loving ourselves.

Make sure to read the F3 weekly email.

Proverbs 19:21 — “Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the LORD that will stand.”

A verse I’m guessing many of us have become familiar with recently.  Regardless of what you think about all that is going on with COVID-19 (I’m sure we all have a plethora of opinions), I encouraged the guys to let it be a humbling experience.  God is sovereign, He frustrates the plans of the nations (Psalm 33:10), He works all things for our good, and He alone is self-sufficient.  We are all dependent creatures whose every minute and day is in the hands of the Lord.  Let’s submit to His will, His plan, and stay humble.  Let’s learn to say “If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that” (James 4:15).
