ANNOUNCEMENTS: Not too late to sign up for Forg3. Sept 22. Flag handoff to slappy at Shamrock end of the month.
COT: On this 22 anniversary of Sept 22, know what matters. Terrorism stories at our core because it shows how little control we have. It makes us face our fears, straight to our fear of death, but In Christ’s, we do not have to fear
“Examine yourselves, to see whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Or do you not realize this about yourselves, that Jesus Chris is in you? — Unless indeed you fail to meet the test!” 2 Cor 13:5
1) It’s yourself, not others.
2) It’s worth the time to get this right. Of utmost importance.
3) Jesus is in you. If that is so – you’ll be different than you used to be – different than you want to be – different than society will tell you. You don’t have to fear.
The Holy Spirit is powerful, awesome and available. Don’t ignore Him

COT:
Psalm 118: 22-24
22 The stone the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone;
23 the Lord has done this,
and it is marvelous in our eyes.
24 The Lord has done it this very day;
let us rejoice today and be glad.

– As another year passes for this birthday boy, becomes paramount to remember the Lord rejoices in what He has done, so we ought to do the same — God is good in providing all we need (most importantly His Son who became the cornerstone), let us rejoice each day we have to bless His Name.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Shovel Flag handoff Friday and Monday.
COT: “For I wrote to you out of much affliction and anguish of heart and with many tears, not to cause you pain but to let you know the abundant love that I have for you.” 2 Cor: 2: 4
This verse shows me communication and expressing our heart is important!
Guys’s don’t talk like that very often; but we should.
Rick Dunn shared: men are most vulnerable to spiritual defeat when men are least vulnerable with each other
That’s Paul being vulnerable and communicating and that is my challenge to you this morning.
For starters, just reach out and be in touch with 3 guys today
1) A f3 brother
2) A friend from growing up – High School Friend or sibling or cousin
3) Someone from Church – if you don’t have their number, ask them or ask someone for their number.
And if you don’t to it today – twice a many tomorrow and 3x on Friday. I’m kidding, sorta, but make it a common practice.
People want to hear from you. I want to hear from you.
Speaking of – I want to hear what you have to say, so pick up a Q!

Jesus shared His heart and gave us a whole book of his word because communication matters
What do you say? Anything. Tell them what’s going on, tell them hi, ask for prayer or prayer requests
Ask to borrow a tool or a piece of advice; thank them for ANYTHING – being a part of your life, being funny, being smart. Or like Paul, tell them of the abundant love you have for them that comes from Jesus, but that’s probably not where you start.

Great to have Curveball, La-z-boy, Fast-n-easy and Ghostflag join us. That last guy is quiet. Hope to see you all again soon and often.

Phil 4:10-13
I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at length you have revived your concern for me. You were indeed concerned for me, but you had no opportunity. Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. I can do all things through him who strengthens me

MOLESKIN:
The challenge today was to seek contentment amid the daily grind

 

GPS Art F3 Juco take 1

THE SCENE: 70° and comfortable
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:
Get ups, tai chi warriors, Reach for the stars, Let it hang, Butt kicks, SSH, High Knees, Mountain climbers
THA-THANG:
A campus tour spelling “F3 Juco” as GPS ‘art’. At each turn there were excercises.
Starting with 10 SSH, then introducing some new excercises
Flip flop merkins, Shuttle run the lower bar of F
Bernie up to the top of the F twice, then 10 Gorilla Humpers (wide monkey)
Finish the F with a shuttle run to flutter till the 6 arrives.
Straight to the Railings for 20 underdogs
Draw the “3” with Hello Dolly, kick throughs and monkey humpers along the way.
Then to the top of the J to carry some of each others weight on a pole.
One legged SSH and “James Bond” made the U, the C was hand stand merkins (or burpees) and dips.
We finished the O with a rope run around a tree.

MARY:
LBC is about all we had time for
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Hebrews 12:1
Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us

I want to focus on the word endurance. On a Wed, we have runners who know about endurance. I used to think of Endurance as just working hard and harder. But it is a lot more about pace than it is any one hard step.
Ask yourself, are you making forward progress?
Do you have a plan? Do you know where you are going?
Have you removed the sin in your life that weighs you down?

Your race is your race. Your journey to become more like Jesus is not identical to anyone else, but it is not meant to be done alone.
Get into a community of believers, find a Church home, F3 is great, but it is not a church.
A church needs all ages, men and women, worship, communion, baptism, giving, accountability and all the pains and joys that come along with all that.
Then make sure Jesus is your motivation, source of energy and Goal.
And consider your pace. Yes, take breaks but ensure forward progress. Guys who get up before 5 to work out tend to want to push hard, but don’t burn out.
And God gave us the gift of (warning, unpopular word) the Sabbath. It got abused in Jesus’ time, it gets forgotten entirely now, but Sabbath was made for man.
That weekly day of rest, change of pace and focus on worship and serving will allow you to Run the race.
Maybe you step back from formal serving for a season, but you still run the race – stay involved, make others a priority, show up, care , pray
Endure to the end.
