First update of the year! Battalion 3739 is up and running! Super excited for this year! Zach is our Sergeant again this year and we have Jeremy, Joe and Ben helping out for the full Btln Season!(God always provides!) We played some American 21 and then on to Murderball were Ben's team beat Jeremy and Joe's team 4-2!(I was on Ben's team! The Captain 1 - Jeremy 0) After Murderball it was Bible study time. I am still unsure of our topic this year but was thinking about "Entrust to Reliable Men" as our theme. This week we looked at man's need.
We tried to answer 3 questions.
1)What can man change on his own?
Romans 5:12 Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned.
Isaiah 64:6 All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all of our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away.
A)Like Adam our actions can only bring sin and death.
2)Can we save ourselves from sin and death?
Ephesians 2:11 As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins.
Ephesians 2:8-10 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith -and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
A)Without God we are dead in our sins, but we can be saved by his grace! (Remember it is God that is doing the work, we are God's workmanship!)
3)If we don't have the power to save ourselves, can we at least keep ourselves saved?
1 Peter 1:5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
Philippians 1:6 Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
A)It is God that began the good work in us, and he will finish it!
We still had a lot of time left after Bible study so we played Handball. We were going to play to seven but started to run out of time when it was 3-3, so it was next goal wins. Like in Murderball Ben's team got the win! (The Captain 2, Jeremy 0)
Next was the first Bulldog of the year and the first Helmet win for Zach! Congrats Zach! This is Zach's 17th career Helmet win!(Yes it is a record.)
Next week is the Pool Party!(At Abe's pool.)See you at the pool!
THE CAPTAIN
