BTLN UPDATE

Congrats Riley! This was Riley's third Helmet of the Btln Season! Riley has moved back into a tie for second place with Josh in the Winston Standings!

This week we played Handball. I have come to the conclusion that we don't play Handball enough. Have I mentioned how much I love Handball? The game was a close battle, the lead changing multiple times. We ended the game with next goal wins that had close calls on both sides, before the ball bounced off of Mike between my legs for the game winner.

This week Ben was in charge of the Bible Study. Our topic was, "What is our Mission?"

Acts 2:42   They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.

2 Corinthians 5:17-21   Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God. God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

Colossians 4:2-6   Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains. Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should. Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.

1 Peter 3:15   But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect,

Our mission has to be devoting ourselves to prayer and study of the Bible. After we have studied we need to share with others what we have learned about the gospel. We need to make the most of every opportunity and always do it with gentleness and respect!
