Congrats Josh! This is Josh's second Helmet of the Btln Year! Bryce was second this week and has been close in the past. My prediction is that we will have a first time Helmet winner next week at Btln!
This week we played Mike 23. Mike 23 is Btln Chaos at it's very best! There are 23 balls flying all over the gym in 6 mini games. I don't know if we have ever had a closer game end in a bigger blow out than we did this week! The scores were close up until the very last round!

In the Bible Study we looked at the story of Abraham when he was tested by God.
Genesis 12:1-3
“I will make you into a great nation,
and I will bless you;
I will make your name great,
and you will be a blessing.
I will bless those who bless you,
and whoever curses you I will curse;
and all peoples on earth
will be blessed through you.”
God promised Abraham that he would make his descendants into a great nation. God also promised that all peoples on the earth would be blessed through Abraham and his descendants.
Some time later God tested Abraham. He said to him, “Abraham!”
“Here I am,” he replied.
Then God said, “Take your son, your only son, whom you love—Isaac—and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on a mountain I will show you.”
Early the next morning Abraham got up and loaded his donkey. He took with him two of his servants and his son Isaac. When he had cut enough wood for the burnt offering, he set out for the place God had told him about.
God promised Abraham that through Isaac his son, that he would make a great nation. Then God asks Abraham to sacrifice Isaac! What happens next is amazing. Abraham doesn't question God, he just packs his bags and prepares for the sacrifice! If only we would trust God like Abraham!
Isaac spoke up and said to his father Abraham, “Father?”
“Yes, my son?” Abraham replied.
“The fire and wood are here,” Isaac said, “but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?”
Abraham answered, “God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” And the two of them went on together.
All along Abraham believed that God would supply the sacrifice that was needed.
But the angel of the Lord called out to him from heaven, “Abraham! Abraham!”
“Here I am,” he replied.
“Do not lay a hand on the boy,” he said. “Do not do anything to him. Now I know that you fear God, because you have not withheld from me your son, your only son.”
Abraham looked up and there in a thicket he saw a ram caught by its horns. He went over and took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt offering instead of his son.
God provided the sacrifice that was needed for Abraham and Isaac and he has done the same for us!
When we were dead in our sins, Jesus took our place on the cross and paid for our sin! It was through Jesus (Who was Abraham's descendant.) that all the peoples of the earth would be blessed!
