BTLN UPDATE

Congrats to Greg on his first helmet ever! Knighton was there at the end with Greg, but only Greg was able to make it to the wall! All the boys were chanting and lifting up Greg after he won British Bulldog! It was awesome. Congrats again to Greg!

This week we played stickball! This game worked well this week with the smaller group. All the boys were chanting every time someone was up to bat. The scores were close the entire time. Josh's team scored two home runs in the second inning, which gave his team a one point lead! Josh's team won stickball!

Stickball Final Scores

Josh's team - 8

Coady's team - 7

Matthias's team - 6

Mataeus's team - 5

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!
