BTLN UPDATE

Congrats to Jonny on his second helmet of the Battalion season! Jonny's first helmet this year was for the Belly Flop contest, so this is his first British Bulldog win of the year! Congrats again to Jonny on the win!

This week we played handball! It was really exciting this week, with all the boys really into the game! The teams were pretty even, with the score always being really close! Once the score was tied at 11, we went down to one ball and played first to 13. Lance's team played really well and scored the first goal, making it 12-11. Jason's team battled back really hard, but Caleb ended up scoring the winning goal for Lance's team. The final score was 13-11 for Lance's team. Congrats to Lance's team!

This week's Bible study topic was "What must I do to be saved".

Here are some passages we read on this subject:

Romans 3:23  -  For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

Romans 6:23  -  For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 5:8  -  But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Romans 10:13  -  For, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."

God sent his son, Jesus, to die for our sins. If we believe in Jesus and what he has done for us, and choose to follow him, we will be saved. God had forgiven every single person. We just have to ask God for his forgiveness and choose him. Remember, God loves you.

Thank you to all the boys and leaders who came out to Battalion this week! Remember, there is Battalion at the high school field this next Wednesday. We'll be playing touch football and eating Menno sausage! So, come hungry and bring a friend!

Congrats to Brennan on his third helmet of the Battalion year! He battled hard to win British Bulldog, and to earn himself another helmet! It it well deserved! Congrats again to Brennan!

This week we played Murderball! It is always super fun to play Murderball. Lance's team won the first game quite easily, but Jason's team came back and won the second game.

Jason's team beat Lance's team overall with a score of 3-2. Congrats to Jason's team on the Murderball wins!

This week our Bible study topic was on the subject of prayer. 

Here are some Bible passages we read on prayer:

Luke 5:16  -  But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.

Luke 11:1-4  -  One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, "Lord teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples." He said to them, "When you pray, say: "'Father, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come. Give us each day our daily bread. Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation.'"

Ephesians 6:18  -  And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord's people.

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18  -  Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

We should pray to God often, with all kinds of prayers and requests. God is waiting, ready to listen to what we have to say to him. Not only is God ready to listen, but he also wants us to come to him in prayer. He loves us, and wants us to talk with him, and to have a good relationship with him. I encourage you all to pray!

Thank you to all the boys and leaders who came to Battalion this week! We had an awesome night! Don't forget, the 16th Battalion Winterslam (Boxing) is this next Wednesday! Tell all your friends! It's going to be amazing!

This week we played stickball! With 29 guys playing stickball, it was super exciting! The boys were chanting and cheering the entire time! All the scores were close, with Matthias and Jason's teams ending in a tie. We decided to have a lightsaber battle for the tie-breaker.

When we finished stickball, we all went down for the Bible study. When we got down to the Battalion room, everybody was singing happy birthday to Kedir! After the Bible study we went up for British Bulldog! During the first round of British Bulldog, all the boys ran after Kedir and dogpiled him for his birthday! I love Battalion traditions!

This week we finished our Bible study series on John 14:6. This week's theme was Jesus being the life.

Here are some Bible passages we read on the life:

John 14:6  -  Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

John 1:1-4  -  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind.

John 3:16  -  For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Galatians 2:20  -  I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

Jesus is the life and gives the only true life. If we accept Jesus as our saviour, he lives within us, and gives us new life. When we as believers die on earth, we get to live the perfect life with God in Heaven for eternity. We have so much to look forward to!

Thanks to all the boys and leaders who came and made this an awesome Battalion night! We are back at the church again this next Wednesday! Remember, Battalion is like Heaven, there's always room for one more! So bring a friend!

Congrats to Paxton on his first helmet ever! Andrew was close to winning as well, but Paxton wouldn't be denied his first British bulldog win, and first helmet! Congrats again to Paxton!

We played handball this week! Both teams battled hard in a game of first to eleven. The game was close until Aiden's team pulled ahead with a lead of 10-7. Lance's team battled hard with a crazy comeback, making the score 10-10! Both teams fought for the last goal, with Matthias scoring for Aiden's team. Aiden's team won the game with a score of 11-10! Congrats to Aiden's team on the win!

This week we continued our Bible study series of Jesus being the way, the truth, and the life. This week our Bible study topic was the truth!

Here are some Bible passages we read on the truth:

John 4:23-24  -  Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.

John 8:31-32  -  To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, "If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."

John 14:6  -  Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

2 Timothy 2:15  -  Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.

Jesus is the truth, and the truth is what sets us free. Jesus also wants us to be truthful. If we accept his truth, the Gospel, Jesus will give us new life. He then will also give us the way to be in Heaven with him.

We had another awesome night at Battalion this Wednesday! Thank you to all the boys and leaders who came! Remember, Battalion is like Heaven, there's always room for one more! So bring a friend next week!

Congrats to Aiden on his fifth helmet of the Battalion year! Paxton and Ashton were both there at the end with Aiden, but only Aiden made it through to the end! Congrats again to Aiden on the helmet and the win!

This week we played Murderball! Murderball is always really awesome to play. Both Lance and Coady's teams each won 2 games, making it a tie. We played a tie-breaker game, with Lance's team taking the victory! Congrats to Lance's team!

This week our Bible study topic was about Jesus being the way.

Here are some Bible passages we read on this topic:

John 14:6  -  Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

Acts 4:10,12  -  Then know this, you and all people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed. 

Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.

Romans 8:34  -  Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died-more than that, who was raised to life-is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.

Jesus is the one and only way to Heaven. Jesus died so that we can live with him in Heaven for eternity. We just have to confess that Jesus is Lord, and believe in our hearts that God raised him from the dead, and we will be saved.

Thanks to all the boys and leaders who came this week to Battalion! It was awesome! Don't forget that there is Battalion again this next Wednesday! Be there, and bring a friend!

BTLN UPDATE - G*I*T*D BASKETBALL

 

Congratulations to Kedir on his second helmet of the year! Andrew and Aiden were also there at the end with Kedir, but Kedir was the only one to make it to the wall during the final round. This gave Kedir the helmet and the win! Congrats again to Kedir!

This week we played G*I*T*D Basketball! This game is always super fun to play because of the glow-in-the-dark balls. We played for a while, then we went to a game of first to five. Coady's team had the lead the whole time, with Matthias's team keeping the score close. Coady's team finally won with a score of 5-3.

This week our Bible study topic was Compassion.

Here are some Bible verses we read on the topic of compassion:

Matthew 9:35-36  -  Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.

Matthew 15:32  -  Jesus called his disciples to him and said, "I have compassion for these people; they have already been with me three days and have nothing to eat. I do not want to send them away hungry, or they may collapse on the way."

2 Peter 3:9  -  The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.

Jesus had compassion for all the people in these passages. He felt sorry for the people, wanting to help them in their time of need. God had compassion for all of us, even though we've all sinned. He doesn't want any of us to die, but for all of us to come to repentance. He gives us another chance because of his love and compassion for us.

Thanks to all the boys and leaders who came to Battalion this week! It was another great Battalion night! Remember, Battalion is like Heaven, there's always room for one more! So bring a friend next week!

Stickball Final Scores

Josh's team - 8

Coady's team - 7

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!

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!

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!

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!

This week's Bible study topic was on contentment.

Here are some Bible passages we read on contentment:

 Hebrews 13:5  -  Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you."

Philippians 4:12-13  -  I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength.

People are always searching for contentment, but are never fully satisfied because they are not searching in the right place. God is the true and only source for contentment. God will always be with you, and will give you the strength you need. Trust in God.

Psalm 36:5  -  Your love, Lord, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies.

Psalm 86:15  -  But you, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness.

Psalm 100:5  -  For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.

God is always faithful, and will be with us through it all. The Bible tells us many times that the Lord is faithful, because it is very important for us to know that.

 This week our Bible study topic was on Kindness and Goodness.

Here are some Bible Passages on the subjects of Kindness and Goodness:

2 Peter 1:3  -  His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and goodness.

Colossians 3:12  -  Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.

2 Thessalonians 1:11  -  With this in mind, we constantly pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of His calling, and that by His power He may bring to fruition your every desire for goodness and your every deed prompted by faith.

God wants us to show goodness and kindness to one another, just as He did to us. Kindness is acts of goodness affecting others. We can learn to display the fruits of the spirit by following God's perfect example.

Thanks to all the boys and leaders for showing up this week to Battalion! See you at the church next Wednesday! Bring a friend!
