“He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus
Christ.” - Philippians 1:6
“But as for you O man of God, flee these things. Pursue righteousness, godliness,
faith, love, steadfastness, gentleness. Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold
of the eternal life to which you were called and about which you made the good
confession in the presence of many witnesses” - 1 Timothy 6:11-12
“He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose”
Jim Elliot

August 31, 2022 • Geoff Jarman • 1 Corinthians 9:24–25, Romans 12:2, Colossians 3:1–4
1 Corinthians 9:24-25 The formative year “To all my little Hulkamaniacs, don’t forget to train, say your prayers, take your vitamins and you will never go wrong.” -Hulk Hogan Church, school, and sports…don’t draw attention to yourself(?). Set goals, work hard, achieve…what went wrong? The 20’s…and early 30’s “I’m here to chew bubblegum and kick a**, and I’m all out of bubblegum.” A second chance at “greatness”http://...but still not “great” My friend Zack and the “ah-ha” moment Older and more aware. What is my why? My unprayed prayer and my why. Romans 12:2 Colossians 3:1-4 1- Where have you come up short of goals you’ve set, and what is the reason for not achieving the goals? 2- Are there areas in your current journey where you and your Lord aren’t on the same page? 3- Where in your life had you had the unprayed prayer answered?

August 24, 2022 • Charlie Eggert • Luke 8:22–25, Revelation 3:15, Matthew 4:1, John 10:10, Proverbs 17:17
Real Boats Rock Luke 8:22-25 My expectations of who God is and how that leads me astray. Whom do I blame when the boat rocks? Trying to Ignore God just gets a reminder that He Is there. Rev 3:15 Accepting God's plan for me makes me strong. And yet, the enemy attacks. "Then Jesus was led by the spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil" Matthew 4:1 "The thief comes only to steal and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." John 10:10 Standing with brothers I have a chance to pursue God's will. "A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity." Proverbs 17:17 Journey Before Destination Habakkuk 3:17 Who/what do we blame for the pain in our lives? In the world? Who has the power to turn this around? How do we embrace this in our lives? Where have you tried to do things on your own? How did that go? Are you building a community of brothers around yourself? Why/why not? What is one thing you know you are doing wrong, that you could change, that you would change?
