Josh's team - 8

This week our Bible study topic was Eternal security.

Here are some of the Bible passages we read on this subject:

2 Corinthians 1:21-22  -  Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us, set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.

Ephesians 1:13-14  -  And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession-to the praise of his glory.

 Romans 8:38-39  -  For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

If we accept Jesus as our saviour, and believe Jesus died for us and rose from the dead, we will be saved. There is absolutely nothing that can separate us from God once we accept him into our hearts. He has marked us in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, guaranteeing our inheritance in Heaven with him. I hope you are encouraged with these words.

Thank you to all the boys and leaders who came to Battalion this week! We are back at the church again next Wednesday! Remember, Battalion is like Heaven, there is always room for one more! So bring a friend!

BTLN UPDATE - MIKE NIGHT

Congrats to Caleb on his second helmet of the Battalion year! Aiden and Derek were both close to winning British Bulldog as well, but Caleb was the only one to make it to the wall in the final three! Congrats again to Caleb on the helmet and the win!

This week we played Mike! Mike was really awesome this week, with us finally getting a chance this year to play with four teams! It's always a really cool game with the flickering strobe light, and the light-up balls bouncing around. Josh's team had a lead for most of the game, but fell behind in the final round. Mataeus's team took the victory with a 2-point lead!

Mike Night Final Scores

Mataeus's team - 121

Josh's team - 119

This week our Bible study topic was the Power of God.

Here are some of the Bible verses we read:

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.

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

No one is more powerful than God, and there is no one who loves you more than God. God is always cheering for you, and always ready to help you. We just have to choose him as our saviour, and believe in him.

Battalion was awesome this week, and I just want to say thank you to everyone who came out and made it awesome! Battalion is back at the church again next Wednesday! Be there, and bring a friend!

BTLN UPDATE

 

Congrats to Kedir on his first British Bulldog win ever! Kedir was the only one to make it to the wall during the last round, giving him the win and the helmet!

This week we played Murderball! Lance's team dominated, and won the first two games. Josh's team won the third game, and Lance's team won the fourth. The final game went back and forth, with both teams getting really close to winning. Josh's team finally won the last game, making the final score 3-2 for Lance's team.

This week we finally finished off our Fruits of the Spirit Bible studies. Our Bible study topic was self-control. 

Here are some verses we read on the topic of self-control:

Galatians 5:22-24  -  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

Titus 2:2  -  Teach the older men to be temperate, worthy of respect, self-controlled, and sound in faith, in love and in endurance.

Titus 2:11-12  -  For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age.

We must learn to have self-control. When we are being tempted and need help, me must go to God for that help. God will help us with self-control, and any other thing we need help with. God is always cheering us on, wanting us to choose Him.

Thank you to all the boys and leaders who came to Battalion this week! We hope to see you again this next Wednesday at Battalion! Be there, and bring a friend!

BTLN UPDATE

Congrats Brennan! Brennan has now won his second helmet of this Battalion year! Caleb was in the final two with Brennan, also fighting for a second helmet, but Brennan was the only one able to make it to the wall. Brennan was victorious, taking the helmet and the British Bulldog win!

This week, we played handball! It was awesome because everyone was playing hard right from the beginning! We played for a while, then we went to overtime. Overtime was first to three goals wins. Josh's team ended up scoring three goals in a row, beating Luke's team, 3-0.

This week, we continued our Bible study theme, by going over another Fruit of the Spirit! This week our theme was gentleness.

Here are some verses we read on the subject of gentleness:

Proverbs 15:1  -  A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.

Ephesians 4:1-3  -  As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.

We must learn to be gentle, to turn away anger. Gentleness is one of the qualities of God that He wants us to have as well.

Thanks to everyone who came back this last Wednesday! Battalion is back again next week at the church! Be there, and bring your friends!
