Congrats to Luke B. for winning his first Helmet of the Btln Season! At the end it was Luke, Ben and Noah. Ben and Noah both working hard, but not able to outlast Luke. Both Ben and Noah have been close and are due for a win, but this week it was Luke emerging victorious!
This week we played Murderball for the first time this year! I could play every week, but most guys could not handle that. I guess I'm old school. In the past few years my teams have had trouble winning games, but not this week! My team was up 2-0, but Ben's team battled back to tie the series 3-3. The last game could have went either way, both teams playing hard! In the end my team walked away with the 4-3 win! Stoked, I love winning!
In Bible study our topic was faith as we looked at Hebrews 11.
Hebrews 11:1-2 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. This is what the ancients were commended for.
This first passage tells us that the O.T. saints were commended for having faith in God. (Believing God)
Hebrews 11:17-19 By faith Abraham, when God tested him, offered Isaac as a sacrifice. He who had embraced the promises was about to sacrifice his one and only son, even though God had said to him, “It is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned.” Abraham reasoned that God could even raise the dead, and so in a manner of speaking he did receive Isaac back from death.
These saints believed God even if it didn't make sense to them. Abraham believed that even if he must sacrifice Isaac, that God would still somehow keep his promises to him. That is faith!
Hebrews 12:1-2 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith.
Here in Hebrews and in Battalion 3739 we have a great cloud of witnesses! The thing that we must remember is that we need to fix our eyes on Jesus! (Like the saints in Hebrews 11!) Jesus is the one that gives us faith and is the faithful one!
Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.
2 Timothy 2:13 If we are faithless, he remains faithful, for he cannot disown himself.
THE CAPTAIN
