BTLN UPDATE - MIKE NIGHT



Congrats Deshawn! This was Deshawn's third Helmet of the Btln Season! Riley was there at the end with Deshawn, each vying for their third Helmet of the season! In the end it was Deshawn gaining more yardage on the last round to take the win and the Helmet!

This week was the final Mike Night of the Btln year. There were quite a few Mike Night rookies this time around. It is so funny to see the reaction of the rookies, they are almost always overwhelmed.
This time around it was Isaac's Team that was the winner.

Mike Night Final Scores
Isaac's Team - 74
Mike's Team - 63
Deshawn's Team - 61
Riley's Team - 54

Our Bible Study topic this week was "The power of God".

Romans 1:16   For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.

1 Corinthians 1:18   For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

Colossians 2:13-15   When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross. And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.

The message of the cross that saves us, is the power of God!

Romans 1:20   For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.

Colossians 1:15-17   The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.

God's power is clearly seen through everything that he has created. Not only did God create everything, he also sustains his creation.

Ephesians 3:20-21   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.

Ephesians 6:10-11   Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.

2 Corinthians 12:8-10   Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it (a thorn in the flesh) away from me. But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

Not only does God's power save us from our sins, it is also available to us to help us through the struggles of life.
