COT:
Devotional: True Freedom
Scriptures:
2 Corinthians 3:17
“Now the Lord is the spirit, and where the spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.”
John 8:36
“So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.”
Galatians 5:1
“It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.”

Reflection:
As we celebrate the freedoms we enjoy in America—freedom of speech, worship, and opportunity—we are reminded of an even greater freedom: the freedom we have in Christ.
National freedom is a gift, hard-won and worth protecting. But spiritual freedom is eternal. While earthly freedom allows us to live without oppression, freedom in Christ releases us from the deepest bondage—sin, shame, and fear. It is not dependent on governments or laws, but on the unchanging grace of God.
Christ’s freedom gives us peace in the midst of chaos, hope in suffering, and purpose beyond this life. As grateful as we are for our national freedom, we are even more thankful for the cross, where true freedom was purchased once and for all.

Takeaway:
Let us celebrate our freedom as a citizen, which is temporary, but let us never forget our freedom in Christ as a child of God, which is eternal.

Does it even count?

Mosey to the base of jucomajaro where we cycle through five exercises well one guy would run in touch the gate. Merkins, squats. Donkey kicks, rainbow drops and lunges

Mosey to award winning Hill. The packs bear crawled while one ran for the summit. Then the packs duck walked while another one ran for the summit.

Some other thing with abs in the parking lot where we cycle through six exercises while one or two guys would run to an assigned spot and back.

MARY: dealers choice.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

COT: mentorship matters. Be intentional about it.
If you think you are too young:
1Tim 4:12 Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young but set an example for the believers in speech in contact and love and in purity.”
That is a huge and intimidating list but be encouraged. 2 Tim 1:7
For God have us not a spirit of great but if power, love and self control.
Perhaps you don’t know what it takes. It’s not real complicated. You have conversation. You invite a guy out for coffee and ask deep questions and answer well.

COT:
2 Corinthians 4:16-18 (NIV):

“Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.”

Inspirational Message:

Don’t lose hope, even when life feels heavy! Your body may tire, but your spirit is growing stronger every day through God’s grace. The struggles you face now are fleeting and pale in comparison to the incredible, eternal glory awaiting you. Keep your focus on the unseen promises of God—His love, His purpose, and His forever kingdom. Let these truths lift your soul and inspire you to press forward with courage and faith, knowing that every step brings you closer to a glory that will never fade!

COT:
We can live a life of honor on the outside, if we live with joy on the inside.

Joy is our job. We speak life!

I went to Dollywood yesterday with my family. We had some passes we traded for concert tickets last year. When we got to the gate, they wouldn’t scan… We were advised to go to the ticket booth to figure it out. They told us the tickets had already been used. Now what?!
I was confused and angry. My family was upset. I chose joy. I went to the ticket booth and purchased 4 tickets and paid a lot more than I was expecting.

We had a blast ???? I rode roller coasters with my wife and kids. My youngest is 8, so this was a new experience. I don’t know if it was because we were there during the week, or the weather was predicted to be dicey, but the lines were short. We stayed all day and watched the fireworks and drone show last night. It was amazing ????

When we choose joy as our job, we show up, we don’t shut down.

When joy is our job, we do not cover, we confront!

“ Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other.”
-Romans 12:10
