Congrats Noah! This is Noah's third Helmet of the Btln Season! The final two in Bulldog were Jonathan and Noah. Caleb Hiebert did the unthinkable and got in Jonathan's way, helping to take him down! Noah taking his first Helmet of the Second Half!
At the beginning of the night we had an impromptu full court basketball game. When we started there were about eight guys playing, but by the end, there had to be about 20! There were so many guys playing that Jason added a second ball! Mike scored the winning basket for Jason's team!
Later in the evening we played Murderball. My team never really ever got our mojo going. The first game was close, but the next two were ugly! Ben's team winning the series 3-0! We probably needed to make a trade. I wish we played more Murderball.
This week Ben led us through a study on true love. The worlds version of love is very different than God's. Ben told us that the true love that comes from God has been hijacked by satan and sin. Because of the sin in our lives, humans will always warp the beautiful things that God has created.
John 13:34-35 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
If we are supposed to love one another as Jesus loved us, then what does that look like?
John 15:13 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.
1 Corinthians 13:4-7 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
1 John 4:8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
The world would be a very different place if we would learn to love like God wanted us to!
Check out these other passages that Ben used. Romans 5:1-5, Galatians 6:1-10, Ephesians 4:2, 1 Peter 4:8, 1 John 3:16-18, Matthew 22:37-39)
Thanks to Ben for doing the Bible study!
Next week we are playing Mike 23!
THE CAPTAIN
