BTLN UPDATE

 

 

Congrats Austin! First ever Helmet! The way that Austin hustles it won't be his last!

Nate was in the middle and with so many guys, being the bulldog is never easy. Good job Nate!

 

This week we had Devin Chursinoff(Sarge 08) make a special appearance! So stoked to have the Alumni show up on a Wednesday night! When the night was over Dalton Erixon also showed up to hang out for a bit, just never get tired of seeing these guys!

 

This week we played the Btln Trifecta! We started with Handball. Jay and Devin's team was down most of the game until the end when they roared back to win 9-7! Next was Murderball and this time it was Ben and Nathan's team that took the win, 2 games to nothing. We completed the Trifecta with a round of Extreme Bulldog. Jason started in the middle for his team and John was in the middle for Ben's team. Extreme Bulldog is a game that I have never won and sadly my streak is still alive. Ben's team was to big and to fast for Jason's team beating us badly and taking the Trifecta 2-1!

 

In Bible study we looked at Abraham in our continuing series "The history of the world" or

"His Story". (Genesis 12:1-3, Genesis 18:16-19, Genesis 22:15-18, Galatians 3:6-18, Hebrews 11:8-19)

 

After man failed at the fall, before the flood and after the flood God still continued his plan of redemption. God chose Abraham to be the patriarch of the Jewish nation. The nation that the Redeemer would come from!

 

Genesis 12:1-4a  The Lord had said to Abram, “Leave your country, your people and your father’s household and go to the land I will show you. “I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.” So Abram left, as the Lord had told him;

 

Do you ever wonder why God chose Abraham? It is because he didn't question God!

 

Galatians 3:6-9  Consider Abraham: “He believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.” Understand, then, that those who believe are children of Abraham. The Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and announced the gospel in advance to Abraham: “All nations will be blessed through you.” So those who have faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.

 

What good news! We are blessed through and with Abraham because of his offspring, Jesus Christ!

 

Ben Nicolson won twenty bucks because he had his Creation wrist band on the longest! Congrats Ben!

 

Next week is Royal Rumble VIII! Make sure that you are early!
