BTLN UPDATE

Congrats Josh! This was Josh's third Helmet of the Btln Season! Josh has now moved into sole possession of second place in the race for Winston!

This week we played Stickball at Battalion. I know that I say this every time, I think that this was the best Stickball that Btln has ever played. Instead of wondering about the rules, the guys have started to figure out strategy for Stickball. The game ended in a three way tie! Isaac winning the tie breaker for his team with a win in rock, paper, scissors!

This week Ryley prepared and lead the Bible Study! The topic that Ryley chose was Sacrifice.

Romans 3:25   God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished—

Hebrews 7:27   Unlike the other high priests, he (Jesus) does not need to offer sacrifices day after day, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. He sacrificed for their sins once for all when he offered himself.

Ephesians 5:1-2   Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

Jesus sacrificed his own life on the cross for our sins! Jesus sacrificed everything for us to save us from the penalty of our sin!

Romans 12:1   Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.

2 Peter 2:4-5   As you come to him, the living Stone—rejected by humans but chosen by God and precious to him— you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

Because Jesus sacrificed everything for us, the right thing for us to do would be to sacrifice everything for him! We should offer our lives as living sacrifices!
