BE SALT

We are finally on our last meeting! I hope to see all of you there tomorrow morning. Come and be a part even if you haven't been in a while.
 
Reminder we are doing a Resolution Signing Ceremony Sunday May 6th after church. Bring your family take a stand before your family and God that you will strive to be a Man of Resolution. Here is a link to what The Resolution is, There will be food for all and games for the kids. We will provide the Resolutions to sign. I just need to know how many will be there. We have 15 men and their families (75 people) signed up to be there. Don't miss out on this opportunity!
 
Remember: Matt 5:13 “You are the salt of the earth." Salt does 3 things 1. Preserves 2. Gives flavor 3. Makes you thirsty. If we are to truly be salt we must 1. preserve those(believers) around us 2. Give flavor(Jesus) to the lost 3. Make those(lost and believers) around us thirst for Jesus.

“Vindicate me, O Lord, for I have walked with integrity. I have also trusted in the Lord; I shall not slip. Examine me, O Lord, and prove me; try my mind and heart. For Your lovingkindness is before my eyes, and I have walked in Your truth.” Psalm 26:1-3

Resolution Point #10 I WILL learn from my mistakes, repent of my sins, and walk with integrity as a man answerable to God.

Sin is missing the mark, sin dissapoints God, sin is the rejection of God in our hearts. But repentance is transformational. Do you repent like King Saul only confessing what is found out, being angry toward those who confront you. Or do you repent like King David being a broken man before God.

Courageous Challenge: Write out a list of the top five sins that keep entangling you in your life, and begin praying for God to give you the grace to fully repent of each one.
Memory Verse: “Repent and return, so that your sins might be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord.” Acts 3:19

*********IMPORTANT NEWS*********

Sunday May 6th we are going to have a Resolution Signing Ceremony. After Church that day we will meet at the Fieldhouse WITH your families (providing good weather outside). We will have a cookout, after the cook out we have the Ceremony (Look Sharp). I will speak (less than 5 minutes) on what we have been doing. Then we will read through the Resolution and I will have nice ones for everyone to sign and hopefully you can get it framed and hang it in your home. Afterwards you are welcome to hang out and fellowship as long as you want to.

Who can take part in this: 1. if you have been to the meetings a "few weeks", 2. Read the book. 3. Watched the movie to understand what the ceremony is.

Here is what I need from you: Who is going to be there? How many will be with you? Food/drink/desert requests or what will you bring?

I want this to be a fun event, I just need your help.
