COT:
-We honor the 2977 fallen and the survivors of the day. We honor the first responders. We should not forget this tragedy.
-One of the greatest things that came out of the day was how it unified us as people. Regardless of your perspective our focus was to survive and get through it together. We gave charity and Grace.
-Tragedy is on the forecast. Let us be ready to lead with encouragement and charity for what comes next.
-Let’ keep out out of the gutter and help our brothers climb out as well.

“September 11 is one of our worst days but it brought out the best in us. It unified us as a country and showed our charitable instincts and reminded us of what we stood for and stand for.” Lamar Alexander

ANNOUNCEMENTS: None provided

COT:
Look for the little triggers in your life – little temptations and sins that could grow up to ruin you. Little lust grows up to be adultery. Little indulgence grows up to be addiction. Little anger grows up to be rage. Each of those baby sins – when they are fully grown, can RUIN you. It is far easier to kill something in its infancy, than to try and kill it when it is mature. KILL those things while they are tiny. “…watch out, because sin is crouching at the door, ready to pounce on you! You must master it before it masters you.” (Genesis 4:7). You have tens of men at Shamrock who would be honored to walk that path with you and can do so confidentially, if needed. Reach out for help and accountability!

COT: It’s never too late to change in life. Your current situation is not set in stone, and you don’t know what God’s plans are for you.

But for change to happen, you need to accept life has different seasons. You need to let go of what holds you back and step into the new. Trust in God and let him guide you forward.
