King Dodgeball & Obedience - November 16th


Ahh, dodgeball. Is it really the king of games? To make sure of that, tonight "King Dodgeball" was the game of choice. And just like in the days of old, the cry was heard throughout the gym "protect the king!" Who is the king, you ask? Well, obviously it is anyone wearing a climbing helmet.
The King of Dodgeball!

During Council Ring, Lieutenant Ron talked about obedience, and shared some stories of how when we disobey, there are always consequences. From failing driver tests to failing ourselves and who we want to be there are always consequences. We all have a choice to make - we can choose to obey God and feel his blessing, or we can choose to do our own thing, and have to deal with the outcome. Either way, we all need to choose.

One of the verses he talked about was Joshua 24:15, where Joshua asked the Israelites to make a choice. Each day we need to ask ourselves, who will I choose to serve?

"But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD."


Romans 8 was the chapter of choice for squad discussion tonight
