Congrats T-Square! First Helmet of the year for Tristan. I had to check the Winston Standings to be sure, it is hard to believe that this was Tristan's first Helmet of the year! The good news for Tristan is that there is still enough time to get back in the race for Winston!
Congrats also to Noah who is the first to 100 points in our Memory Work Challenge! Halfway home Noah! Keep up the good work!
It was Mike Night this week! Can't get enough of the strobe and the blinking balls! Jake's team jumped out to an early lead but was caught by Jason's team and then by Zach's team. Nathan's team was close halfway through but couldn't keep up to Zach's and Jason's teams. It came down to the final round with Jason's team holding on to their lead and the win.
Final Mike Score
Jason's Team - 44
Zach's Team - 41
Nathan's Team - 34
Jake's Team - 28
This week in Bible Study we took a look at Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego in our continuing series "The History of the World" or "His Story". (Daniel 3:1-30)
Romans 13:1-2 Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves.
1 Peter 2:13,14 Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every human authority: whether to the emperor, as the supreme authority, or to governors, who are sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to commend those who do right.
God tells us that we need to submit ourselves to the governing authorities that he has set in place. But what if these authorities ask us to do things that we know that God would not want us to do?
Daniel 3:13-14 Furious with rage, Nebuchadnezzar summoned Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. So these men were brought before the king, and Nebuchadnezzar said to them, “Is it true, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, that you do not serve my gods or worship the image of gold I have set up?
Daniel 3:16-18 Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego replied to him, “King Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter. If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to deliver us from it, and he will deliver us from Your Majesty’s hand. But even if he does not, we want you to know, Your Majesty, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up.”
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were willing to risk their lives to follow God and do what is right! King Nebuchadnezzar was the most powerful man in the world but he was no match for the all powerful Creator of the Universe that gave Nebuchadnezzar his power.
Next God saved Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego from Nebuchadnezzar and the fiery furnace. The change in Nebuchadnezzar's attitude is amazing.
Daniel 3:28 Then Nebuchadnezzar said, “Praise be to the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, who has sent his angel and rescued his servants! They trusted in him and defied the king’s command and were willing to give up their lives rather than serve or worship any god except their own God.
Because of Shadrach's, Meshach's and Abednego's faithfulness the most powerful man on earth began to acknowledge the one true God!
THE CAPTAIN
