CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Word of the day Receptive!

Receptive is defined as able or inclined to receive especially: open and responsive to ideas, impressions, or suggestions.

Developing receptiveness is a crucial skill If we want to be effective leaders/fathers/professionals/husbands we need to look at every situation with an open mind. No matter how relevant we deem a piece of advice given to us or feedback received on something we have done, we should always slow down enough and be receptive to what is being said and take the relevant parts and grow from every situation. 

Challenge: What is one piece of unpopular advice or piece of feedback you have received In the last few weeks that, after further thought, you can learn from and become a better man for, even though it may not have seemed relevant at the time? 

1 Thessalonians 5:21

“But examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good.”

Proverbs 18:15

“The mind of the prudent acquires knowledge,

And the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.”

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA:

19 HIMs plus 1 FNG (Patsy)

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

COVID, masks, election, school decisions, sports, time with family, and holiday traditions… all relevant topics that can lead to disagreement and arguments.  We need to discern and determine which “hill is worth dying for” when it comes to disagreements.  Romans 12:18 encourages us to live peaceably as much as possible.

Isaiah 9 spoke of a people in darkness who were brought into the light.  A special child was promised to usher in peace and hope.  John 8:12 speaks of this Light of the world – Jesus.

Jesus came to die on a hill for us.  John 3:17  He came to reconcile God and man.  See Hark the Herald Angels carol… “God and sinners reconciled”.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
The Stalwart 7 showed up for this cold and rainy beatdown.
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Joshua 1:9 – Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified, do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.

In our day to day life we have a whole lot fewer things that would make a person terrified than they did in Joshua’s day. However, there are definitely a whole lot of things that can add up to bring a world of discouragement. I had a few things happen this week at home that really piled on that discouragement side, so this verse coming up in the message yesterday at church was quite timely, and I hope it can encourage you as well.

MOLESKIN:
It’s a good thing I had signed up to Q today, or I might have ended up in the fartsack… Good to work with you guys today!
