BTLN UPDATE - MIKE NIGHT

 

 

 

 

Congrats Nate! This was Nate's second Helmet of the Btln Season! Nate has been close to winning a few times this year, this time he would not be denied!

Mike Night is always a special night, and this week was no exception! We didn't have as many guys as we have had for Mike Night in the past, but that meant that there were more chances to help your team win. Instead of having your number called four times in a night, it was probably seven or eight times! We also used more balls this time than we have ever used! The last round had 62 balls! This meant that if your team had an amazing last round that you could have a huge come from behind win. GeRRald's team picked up 18 balls to pass Lukas' team in the final round, but Nathan's team added 23 balls to their 35 for a total of 58!

Mike Night Final Scores
Nathan's team  35 + 23 = 58
GeRRald's team  25 + 18 = 43
Lukas' team  30 + 9 = 39
Nate's team  25 + 12 = 37


In Bible study this week Ben talked about new years goals and resolutions.

Often we have plans and goals for the new year, things that we would like to accomplish. Ben talked about how we will reach some of our goals and others we will not. He told us that this is because we usually do not know what is best for us. God on the other hand, does! It is comforting to know that God has plans for us and that he loves us very much!

Ephesians 3:14-21   For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

This passage talks about the glorious riches that God has for us! We also read about God's great love that cannot be comprehended. Lastly, we learn that God wants do more for us than we can ask or imagine!

If God loves us this much, and understands us better than we can, obviously we should give him control of our lives!
