BTLN UPDATE - "POP N DOGS PART THREE


 
 
Congrats Stephen! First Helmet ever for Stephen! We have had first timers two weeks in a row! Last week it was Tyson and this week it was Stephen!
 
About 25 of us braved the rain (drizzling) and the cold to eat Menno and play soccer! The slippery field lead to all kinds of slipping and sliding around! It was awesome! These are the kind of nights that the guys will remember for years to come! The game ended in a tie so we went to penalty kicks to decide the game! My team scored one out of five tries, but Ryley's team scored two out of five for the win!
 
In Bible study we looked at some of the things that we have received in, by and through Christ's death and Resurrection!


Romans 3:24  all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.

Romans 5:11  we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.

Romans 6:23  For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 8:1-2  Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,  because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death.

Romans 12:5  so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.

1 Corinthians 1:4  I always thank my God for you because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus.
1 Corinthians 6:11  And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
 
2 Corinthians 1:21-22  Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us,  set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.
 
2 Corinthians 2:14  But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and manifests through us the sweet aroma of the knowledge of Him in every place.
 
2 Corinthians 5:17  Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.
 
Galatians 3:26  So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith,
 
Galatians 4:7  Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
 
Ephesians 1:3-5  Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves.
 
Ephesians 2:6-7  And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,  in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.
 
Ephesians 3:12  In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence
 
Philippians 4:13  I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
 
Philippians 4:19  And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.
 
Colossians 2:10  and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.
 

This is only a small sample of the blessings that we receive in, by and through Christ! Read Romans through to the end of Philemon to find more for yourselves! You will be blessed just reading about these blessings!
 
THE CAPTAIN
